Like Eindinu Money.

Mcbride e. Will, the popular drug
sists are making an offer that is just
like finding money. for they are selling a
regular so cent bottle of Dr. Howard s
celebrated specific for the cure or con-
stipation and dyspepsia at half price
In addition to the large discount they
agree to return the money to any pur-
chaser whom the specific does not
cure.
1t is quite unusual to be able to buy
fifty pieces for a quarter, but that
Is what this offer really means. for 1T is
only recently thru the solicitation of
Mcbride g. Will that this
medicine could be bought for less than
fifty cents. They urged the proprie-
tors to allow them to Sc it at this re-
duced price for little while, agreeing
to sell a certain amount. The result
has justified their good judgment for
the sale has been some thing remark
able.

Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Summers, liv-
ing southeast of the city, In the Rock
Valley neighborhood. while acting as
host and hostess Monday night to the
members of a neighborhood club, were
surprised by crowd Of friends from
this city, who had formed bob party
to visit their home and spend the ev-
ening. The Rock Valley neighborhood
contains a number of young married
people, and incidentally nearly all of
the wives were former teachers of the
Rock Valley school. 1t is an admitted
fact that it has been harder to keep
a teacher in the Rock Valley neighbor-
hood than In any other part of the
county, for no sooner does a teacher
get fairly started in her work than some
young farmer has others objects and
ambitions for her. The young married
people have formed an anniversary
club, comprising membership of ten
couples, the principal object being So
cial gatherings on the wedding ami
versary of each couple. Mr.. and Mrs.

that members of the house OF dele
gates having been taking brides from

to do so, and it was just as proper
for them to sell their votes as for the

a crime worse than any other, Tor
bribery strikes at the foundation OF
all laws. Yet because the law de-
nouncing it was not enforced bribery
became the usual and expected thing
all over the land; corrupt men toasted

science was asleep. When the revel-
alton came the people saw that they

public may be as injurious from graft
ing as from boodling, there Is dis
tinction between them. The boodler
sells his vote and prostitutes his trust
for bride money contrary to law, but
the CRATER is not always a boodler.
When those on the inside of any great
financial concern divert the trust funds
for their profit, that is a graft against
the law; when class of men have
special privileges whereby they can
prey upon the rest of the people, that
is a graft that may not be against the
law, and may even be protected by the
law. The remedy for corruption,
bribery, grating of every kind is to
enforce the law. II the system is

FOLK FIRES FIRST
OPENS CAMPAIGN FOR HONESTY
IN PHILADELPHIA
Points Out Need Of More Men Actuated
BY Desire for the Public Good and
Fewer Of Those in Politics for Rev
enue Only


Philadelphia, Oct. 16.-The great
battle between the republican organi-
zation and the city party, the munich
pal reform organization recently
formed here, today was enlivened by
the visit Of Governor Folk of Missouri,
who came to lend his voice in the in
terest OF good government. The Mis-
souri, governor tonight addressed
large and enthusiastic audience In the
Academy OF Music. He spoke under
the auspices of the City club, which
claims no connection with the city
party. Governor Folk had an exceed
ingly busy day and his reception wher-
ever he appeared during the day and
evening was fiattering.
Makes Curbstone Speech
The crowd that attempted to gain
entrance to the academy tonight was
SO great that the doors were closed
before the meeting began. Several
thousand persons who could not get In
were addressed by the city party
sneaker. While the curbstone mass
meeting was in progress, Governor
Folk arrived and the assemblage would
not permit him to enter the building
until he had addressed them. He made
short speech. When he entered the
academy the entire audience stood up
to welcome him. With him on the
stage were George Burnham IT., presl-
dent of the City club; former Post
master General Charles Emory Smith,
former United States Attorney Cen
eral Wayne MacVeagh; William n.
Potter. former United States minister
to Italy, and about 1919 other citizens

Governor Folks Address
Governor Folk spoke in part as fol-
lows.
The most conspicuous fact in mu-
nicipal governments in the United
States today is that they are govern
ments by the few and not by the
people There is more aggressive
rottenness and less aggressive pa
triotism in our large cities than any
where else. If the patriotism could b.
made as aggressive as the rottenness

be solved by the people taking thu

of public opinion under the leadership
