Folk S Sincerity.

The test of Joseph W. Folk 5
sincerity on the ''maehinc" issue
is rapidly approaching.
He has made hi, campaign for
the nomination for Governor on
the ISSUES Of boodIing and machine
rule. On the first he appealed to
the honesty of his fellow Demo
Gratis. and on the second he appeal
ed to their sense of fair play, and
both were equally potent. He has
the nomination within his grasp
now. Will he show that his oppo-
sition to ring-rule springs from
sincere and patriotic motives or
now that he has attained his am
bition will he lie down now and let
the ring gobble up the rest of his
state ticket.
Folk can and will prevent the
nomination of single man who
has been identified with the ring if
he 50 desires. Will he do it?
Kansas Republicans, when they
ended their reform crusade this
year. had unhorsed every former
ring leader they could reach. That
looks like true reform.
Are Folk and his reform move
ment prepared to 90 to this length
or is Folks ''reform" completed
when he is named as his party's
candidate for Governor. The

The Democratic RING machine IL
Missouri is hard f. beat at tho
game of practical politics, it has
probably no superior in this line
anywhere in the country. Al
though the Folk Democrats appar.
entity had everything tAeir own
WAY at the primaries. in the par
tvs conventions The machine seems
to be in complete control of tho
siluation and can nominate and
will nominate whom it rleascS.
| Ten ur twelve years ago when the
people became dissatisfied with the
ring>ter government and Demo
cratic control of the state was
threatened by the growing pu|u-
! list vote. the rinu>tcrs quietly over
came this danger by absorbing the
whole Popu!i>t party through tho
gift of one or two appolnllvc offices
! to Populi~t leaders. This year
they arc again at their smooth
! tricks. Seeing no way to stem the
| popular tide Of reform against
corruption in state offices. the ring
seemingly withdrew all opposition
| to Folk. the reform candidate for
governor. but through the assist
ancc Of the cnnrt house gangs in
| the counties ha- managed to oct
control OF the delegates. 1t Is now
evident that the machines prohu-
bic intention Is t. accept Mr.. Folk
as Il sop to The rcformers and sill
retain its hold upon the state GOV
crnment The Hnyernor>hip j. all
they feel they will have to -acri-
fee, and Mr.. Folk w,ll have to fall
in with the machines plans to get
that. Whether this trick will sue
cecd as we'll a did the one when
the popnli,t movement was stall
ed, depends, altogether on whether
the people Of Missouri can he foot
ed again. 1t is evit!en; on the face
Of things that the only way to
loosen the gangs grip on toe state
is % throw the Democratic party
out of power completely.

The Republican party with lis
customary courage has taken up
the question of negro disfraucnise-
ment in the southern states in a
manner to which no fair minded
man, let his politics he what they
may, eau object. 1t has placed a
plank in its national platform to
the effect that if the negro of the
south is to be deprived of his right
70 vote that the Democrats shall
not base their representation in
Congress and the electoral college
on DISTINGUISHED colored popnla-
ton. 1t IS proposed by the Re
publican party that if their oppo-
nents have the powers to consttu-
tionally eliminate the negro from
politics the elimination shall not
only Y take him ont of Republican
politics, but ont of Democratic
politics rs well. This il where the
proposition of taking the vote
away from the negro is going to
act Us boomerang against the
party which hoped to profit by it.
Without a representation based up
on the black population of the
south the solid south will no long

guests were being entertained she went
among them quietly and babe them

the station.
It IS said that Mrs Phipps. her maid
