MORE FOLK LORE.

YV HENENER that man Folk. gov
w eruor OF the good state of Mis-
souri,. opens his mouth to speak in pub
1ic. ne says something worth listening
To-. worth remembering We believe
we have said something like this before,
but repetition does not alter the fact.
Governor Folk spoke the other day at
dinner given by the Missouri society
of New York City Among other things
he said:
There are many who thrill with
patriotic fervor at the thought of go
ing TO war and riskiug their lives for
their country, but forget to vote on
election day. The patriotism of peace
is just as necessary as the patriotism
OF war. The patriotism Of the ballot :
even more necessary in a free country
that the patriotism OF the bullet PIen-
~ OF men viii die for their country, but
the man who Will live for his city and
state every day is the man good gov
eminent needs The government
never negIects the people unless the
people first neglect the government. No
government. city. state or national, was
ever better than the people made it or
worse than they suffered il to become.
Good citizens may make good
laws, but no law can make good citi-
zens. When the people grow lax in the
discharge of their civic obligations the
government grows corrupt and the very
fountains of national life are poisoned,
justice is thwarted and iniquity is en-
throned."
We have rarely seen so much that is
worth while compressed into so few
words. Governor Folk goes straight TO
the heart of our civic unrighteousness.
With the sure touch of the great sur
geon he lays bare the disease and points
out the remedy In his day Governor
Folk has accomplished great works in
Missouri. If he is spared he VIII ac-
complish many more. We wish him
long life and unimpaired vitality for the
prosecution of his labors.
