St. Louis Paper Scores Governor
Folk For Doing His Duty.

The Censor" wild cat publica-
ton sends us a marked copy of its
most recent issue in which it de-
votes almost Il whole page Of its
sheet to an uncalled for attack on
Governor Folk for attempting to
run lot Of thieves, thugs and gam
blers out of st. Louis county. OF
course the Censor" expected us to
copy the foolish article and assist Il
lot Of thugs at Delmar race track to
violate the law and do as they please
regardless of law. order Oranvthing.
else.
Joseph Folk is governor of the
great state of Missouri and as such
took solemn oath to enforce the
law Of the state and to uphold it,
He is doing exactly what he sworc
he would do and as q result gang
of robbers and cut throats of St.
Louis county have almost reached
a stage where they have either got
to get "down" to common labor or
90 on the bum, good and proper.
Governor Folk has the backing Of
every good, law abiding citizen in
the state Of Missouri and the attacks
made upon him by such sheets as the
"Censor" and their cohorts, Seller,
Adder and Titles, gang Of worth
less gamblers, whom the world
would be ten thousand times better
off without, will have absolutely no
effect.
Go after the St. Louis county
gang, Governor Folk. They are
menace to society and a disgrace to
the state.-Poplar Bluff Citizen.

California Letter.

The private company | mention

ganlzed with one and q half million
dollars capital to construct an irri-
eating plant near here, IS not likely
to materialize. AT present there is
more hope of the government tax

private company. In a bulletin
issued by the Sacramento Valley
Developing Association, they say
in part: 'The most important
event Of the present year in the
Sacramento valley will be the visit
of the senate and house committees
of the national congress. The gen
tlemen comprising these committees
Will make q tour Of the irriga bic
portions of the United States, and
will come here for the purpose of
investigating what is known as the
great Sacramento Valley Irrigation
project. The party will arrive in
June, and the Sacramento Valley

making plans to show them the
Sacramento valley and the striking
features Of the irrigating scheme.
This is one Of the most stupen.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-03-20

One of the things discussed in Washington by the democratic mem
 bers of congress just before adjourn ment and since, and discussed with considerable solicitude, is the future of the democratic party, says our Wash ington correspondent. This, of course, is interesting to all democrats and all good citizens, for two parties in this country are essential to the health of the republic. The democratic party is immortal and will last as long as the republic endures. Many time it has been shot at and bedeviled and defeated, and all but wiped off the face of the earth, and the announce ment has been solemnly. made that the democratic party was dead; but when they came to bury it the corpse was not forthcoming. The party de feated last fall under the name of the democratic party was not the real democratic party of this country. That party is still ill good health, still undis- mayed, still militant, and its hosts are beginning to marshal in serried ranks under the banner of leaders who are honest to the core, who are honest with the people, who believe in the real reforms the people demand, who have nothing i'll common with the plutocracy and who will fight it with all their might, and who will be found in the forefront of the battle ill the next campaign leading on the democratic hosts; and waving on the firing line will be the plumes of those two warriors for the peoples rights, the Hon William Jennings Bryan and the Hon William Randolph Hearst.

In more than one respect the auto mobile is fairly entitled to rank as just about the foremost wonder of the world in the twentieth century. It is doing so many things that would be impossible to anything else in the world. It is changing the natural conditions of the earth, setting altitude and latitude at naught, and menacing even the procession of the equinoxes with reversal or transformation. Thus it was only few days ago that we had indubitable reports to the effect that one of them had crossed the An des by way of mountain pass the summit of which was about mile higher than the tiptop of the loftiest peak in the whole range. We did not know before that the automobile was q bird, but from that achievement 1t seems to be triumphant rival of the condor of the Andes. that can soar through heavens unfathomable depths" etc Or else it must be that all our measurements of Andean peaks and passes have been monstrously in accurate.

President Roosevelt has. it is
 maintained by prominent members
 of congress, exceeded his author
 ity by accepting the services of cer-
 tain prominent architects who volun- teer to act as an advisory board to in- dicate where public buildings shall be placed and the character of their con- struction. In the general deficiency appropriation bill, recently passed, there is q provision prohibiting any official of the government from ac- cepting the voluntary services of any one not now employed by the govern ment and forbidding anyone so en- ployed from volunteering to do work for which he was not employed. The penalty for violation of this statute is fine, or imprisonment, or both and re' mOval from office. Of course it was mere inadvertence which led the pres ident to take the step he did in viola ton of the law. but it is entirely prob- able that he will have to retrace his steps and disband the committee whose services he has accepted. It Is urged that the law was a very neces- sary one and in the present instance it is set forth that the architects se- Iected for the advisory board can well afford to contribute their services without remuneration for the reason that they represent an architects trust and that no plans for public buildings would be approved by them unless such plans had been prepared in the office of a member of the trust. Congress is sorely opposed to this trust and would doubtless make its will felt when called upon to appropri- ate funds to carry into effect the re- commentators of the advisory board.
