GOV FOLK AND HIS ELECTION.

The inauguration OF Joseph W.
Folk as Governor OF Missouri has
attracted widespread attentionin he
cDuntry. Not because his electiC n
WAS unexpected, or because out OF
tie landslide TO Kepublicanism in
Missouri last fall he was the only
Democrat left standing erect, bus be-
cause he triumphed over the opposi-
sion of an otherwise victorious Re-
D lblican party and the erstwhl e
le 4ders ofthe Democratic party con-
bIned, upon "A platform OF his own
making which stands for purity IN
official life. We have heard so much
of graft" and dishonor in office, OF
party pilieripg and party bossism,
that she triumph OF a man who DE-
nounces all these, and proves by his
acts that he shows his faith by his
good works, comes as refreshing
breeze on a sultry day, and bids us
hope and believe that while dishOnor
may be rampant in the land, espec'
Tally In the larger cities, at least
80 some places the people yet have
the courage to arise in their might
and to sweepfro power those whom
they had honored and who had be-
betrayed a sacred trust. 1t is not
the individual pilierer who is a men,
ace TO good government We meet
With him occasionally, but heis cas-
fly disposed OF. Ii is the organized
graiters, who pose as party leaders,
and who use public office as d means
OF private gain and party advance
ment, who menace good government,
and it is against these that Mr.. Folk
has made his fight and triumphed.
The Inauguration OF Governor Folk
was great day for Missouri. Let
rs hope that the lesson learned in
Missouri will take root everywhere,
and become a terror to evil-dOers all
ovre the land.
