Never wRs the need OF Il hall in ElRo

emphasized more than it was last nigh,
at the high school exercises. The school
room was packed to its fullest capacity
with people anxious to listen TO the
exercises, but whose pleasure wns

crowded ROOM.
This condition OF affairs ought not to
exist in n town Of this sizc. Then, too,
the young mon and women. from whom
much was expected. were handicapped
for want OF room aud were unable from
the conditions under which they worked,
TO do the bost that was III them. In
estimating their success or failure this
should be taken iutG account.

FOLK on BRIBERY,

Governor Folk OF Missouri has been
interviewed by the New York World on
what he THINKS OF exposing bribery.
He says the mere finding on, OF rascals
IN office is OF secondary importance to
the arousipg OF the conBciences OF the
atty.
THAT is the point exactly. The worst
result OF public corruption is ahen it
becomes such a part q the people that
they do not consider il n crime. Resi-.
dents OF towns on the boundaries be.
tween the United States md Canada or
between this country and Mexico do not
think it harmful to engage in the crime
OF smuggling, looking upon IL as some.
thing smart. Too many young men
throughout the nation hnvc become
3 Iturated with the idea that il il smart
to secure money by grating. Such
young men are starting in lilo with bad
principles, which should DO corrected.
Their sense OF right aud wrong ia dullcd.
lhoy are leading lives that are nm in.
justice TO their relatives, their homes.
their nation and themselves.
"As Governor Folk remarks, IL is OF
far more moment TO awaken the fine
sensibihtics Of the people, especially 10
start young men in tho world with
higher ideals, than the punishment OF
the largo number OF thieves now in
public Office. Both, however, arc i'm
p~ortant."
