Kansas whiskey Gov Folk not only
drank something thar was unconsriu-

law of Kansas.
The st. Louis Mirror, apsopos of
this incident, tells us that Gov. Folk
takes a drink quite frequently. and
! some pretty good drinkers who have
had things with him, pass from
praise to wonder in comment upon his

that Joe is one of those fellows who

tended there is nothing inherently
or criminal or immoral In taking a
drink; II Is the taking Of a surplus OF
drinks that constitutes the reprehen'
sble act. But Gov. Folk was born IN
Tennessee, a state famous for Its good
liquor, Its fine horses and It's lovely
women He Is familiar with Cascade

doubtless In his time drawn philosoph

Robertson county. ~ has long been

Tennessee whlskey would never 90 to

There is no more imperative duty
now confronting the property owners
and officials of Cairo than that of a
thorough and genera cleaning of the
city. Muskogee under normal condi-
lions is fairly healthy place but Cairo
torn up with excavations FOR new
buildings. street paving. water and
sewer extensions and street car work
presents altogether a different and
more dangerous proposition just at
present. Every health ordinance on
the statute books should be vigorously
enforced. every private citizen should
thoroughly clean his premises and the
authorities should put a sufficient
force of men on the streets to keep
them free from rubbish and trash Of
all kinds. The time to do this is now.
