GOV. JOS. FOLK IN NEW YORK
The Governor of Missouri Addresses
the Missouri Society.
He Was the Guest of EonOr at the
Annual Banquet of the Society
at the Waldorf Astoria.

New York, March 29.-Gov JOSEPH
W. Folk of Missouri was the guest oil
honor and the principal speaker at a
banquet of the Missouri society at the
Waldorf Astoria Tuesday night. AT
the right of the governor sat District
Attorney Jerome, who also made a
brief address. Gov. Folk said in part
The Missouri idea means the en-
forcement of the law. and that if the
law be bad the remedy is to repeal,
not to ignore it. There is entirely too
little respect for law in America In
every state we find laws a nullity for
policy's sake. Such a thing is un-
known in any other land. Disregard
of one law breeds disrespect for all
law. In allowing some laws to go I'M
enforced we reap a harvest in having
all laws broken. The law may not be
TO ones liking. but the answer, it is
law should be sufficient for the law
abiding. Good men will observe even
bad laws but bad men will break e7en
good laws. 1t should be that all men,
good and bad, be compelled to keep
al law good ard bad. because IL IS the
law. But how careless people usually
are as to whether laws are enforced or
not. This lethargy gives rise to civic
evils. Indeed, nearly all public
wrongs grow out of the indifference
OF the people. There are many who
thrill with patriotic fervor at the
thought of going to war and risking
their lives for their country, but
who forget to vote on election
lay. The patriotism of peace is just
as necessary as the patriotism of war.
The patriotism of the ballot is even
more necessary in free country than
he patriotism of a bullet Plenty of
men will die for their country, but the
man who will live for his city and
state every day is the man good gov
eminent needs"

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a di-
sease for anyone to attempt to doc
tor himself, although he may have
the proper remedies at hand. A
physician should always be called.
1t should be borne in mind, how
ever, that pneumonia always results
from cold or from an attack of the
grip, and that by giving Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy the threaten
ed attack of pneumonia may be
warded off. This remedy is also
used by physicians in the treatment
of pneumonia with the best results.

who is also a druggist, says of it:

TUBERCULOSIS IN ASYLUM.

TUBERCULOSIS IN ASYLUM
The Superintendent of the
Western Asylum for the Insane,
in his annual report, just issued,
says that consumption and other
forms of tuberculosis is showing
alarming increase in that and
similar institutions, and recon
mends that steps should be taken
TO stop its spread.
The responsibility that rests
upon the people of Kentucky,
through the officials whom they
have put in charge of State af-
fairs, is certainly most grave.
1t is bad enough that personal
or hereditary transgressions or
weakness or misfortunes should
condemn the unfortunates to life
imprisonment in a mad house.
But to permit these most unfor-
tunate citizens to take to their
bosoms lingering death at the
hands of the dread white
plague, without applying all
the preventive methods known
to science, is criminal. This is a
profound question, into which
men of science and philanthropy
are looking with great serious.
ness, and question not solved
in a day. Even if at great cost,
it is a matter that should be
looked into Immediately and the
most heroic measures should be
adopted at once for its remedy.
The State Board of Health has

ing the spread of smallpox. Let

Some of the judges are ruling one
way and some the other on the
question of whether offenses of in
toxication under the prohibitory law
count under the local-option license
law. The result is that during the
past week a Montpelier man, charged
with two offenses, was sentenced, I'M
der Judge Munson's ruling, to 80
DAYS at hard labor in the house or
correction; while John Shannon or
Rutland, who has served for more
offenses of drunkenness. it is said,
than any other man in the state and
probably in New England, got the
same penalty, under City Judge Ross
ruling. as would be given youth
who had committed his first indis-
erection. It would be only fair to the
people of the state to have this point
settled, one way or the other. so that
the law may be applied impartiaHy.
1t would seem, though, that since
drunkenness is an offense under both
systems of liquor legislation, the
change in system would not naturally
vine out former offenses.

There Is one argument In favor OF
the eight-hour day that social econ
omists often overlook. Modern ma
chinery has increased output to de-
gree undreamed of a decade ago. The
result Is that vast stocks of goods
are accumulated in. certain seasons,
and then comes a Season of Industrial
depression that lasts until these vast
stocks are sold. The shortening of
the work day will have the effect of
providing employment for more wage
earners. and to that extent lessening
the liability of lack of employment.
Labor unions are not advocating the
eight hour day for the sole purpose of
securing shorter hours for those who

ployment for those who have no
