THE South Side Teutonic ele-
ment wouldn't shout for Folk this
year. don't know that this fact
makes so much against the Gov
ernor as Governor, as it tends to
show how vain and inconclusive
is the logic of passing popularity.
Last year, for enforcing law
against offenders, Folk was seated
in the seventh heaven, crown in
hand and wings full-grown; this
year, for still carrying out the
provisions of the statutes, he is
being vigorously cussed in High
and Low Deutsch, in picturesque
Irish and vigorous American.
What inconsistent fools these

THE Dunklin county road fund
has gone glimmering since de-
prived of the revenue that came to
it before the saloon was voted out,
and the highways of that baili-
wick are crying aloud for care and
repair. 1t ought not to be SO.
Where r those prominent citi-
zens who guaranteed to make up,
if necessary, the sums erstwhile
paid by the saloons? Has their
zeal for civic virtue died out-their
enthusiasm evaporated? Do their
purses refuse to relax at the call of
promise, and are their pocket
nerves gone dead to the touch OF
fulflment? In this your hour OF
distress, brethren, why not call to
your aid the services of him of the
Scott County Kicker? He hath a CAD
for every evil and knows a balm
for Virtues every wound.
