FOLK DISCUSSES GRAFT.

StlckIers Tor good form In puDiic al
dresses were much occupied yesterday in
discussing whether or not Governor Folk
was within the limits of good taste in
roasting graft and grafters so outrage
ously right in the presence of Mayor
Schmitz, who was present at Monday
function in his official capacity. OF
course, the governor was silent about
graft in San Francisco. Obviously, un-
der the circumstances, that would have
been outside the line of propriety; but
he spoke right out about st. Louis and
Philadelphia, and his remark that the
governor of Missouri had more power
TO prevent corruption in municipal gov
ernment than had been given to the
governor of California was painfully
suggestive. although possibly it brought
comfort to the souls of some present
All these things were discussed yester-
day in political circles, but the final con-
sensus of opinion was that the governor
did just right Governor Folk is here
with message. Mayor Schmidt knew
in advance what it was. II ne didn't
wish to hear it he should have stayed
away, as did his friends, Abe Ruef, Mae
stretti and others in official and semi
official life, not one of whom was men
TONED as being present among other
distinguished citizens to take the nand
of Governor Folk and congratulate him
upon his success in sending boodlers to
Jail.
Governor Folk talked straight from
the shoulder and in turning over the
subject of boodlers in his mind, and in
public speech for so long, the governor
. has accumulated a fAind. of epigrammatsc
expressions which are likely to become
classic. "All laws look blue to the man
who wants to break them; "a muir
derer takes only the life of one citizen,
while corrupt official aims at the life
Of the commonwealth Every man who |
puts party success above party prin-
ciple is traitor! ideals and fearless
ness make for good government! "Cor-
rupt officials represent the activity of
the lawless"! these and similar forcible
expressions continually fell from his
lips and will stick in the minds of
those who heard them. How the cor.
rupt politicians of st. Louis could have
been so fooled in this man as to nomi-
nate him for circuit attorney, in spite
of his warnings that they wouldn't like
him, will always remain a mystery of
American official rascality. They knew
that he was honest. They should have
recognized his power.
What Governor Folk did in st. Louis
as circuit attorney, and what Mayor
Weaver is striving to do in Philadel.
phia, is precisely what the republican
league is attempting to do in San Fran.

pus Of Australia, a writer says: at
makes its home like an otter IN a bank,
tunneling up from the entrance under
water some thirty or forty feet
which its powerful forearm muscles
make nothing of, to a place where II
can find a dry and well drained bur.
row. It's food consists chiefly Of in.
sects, crayish Or 'yabbess,' which II
bolts, hard shell and all. 1t will stay
from ten to fourteen minutes at q
time under water, searching the mud
and stones for these d~elicacies with its
ducklike bill. 1t makes a most fas'
cinat1ng little pet, becoming very tame
and ~sQueaking with delight when fed
It's antics r a constant source OF
pleasure, though If care is not taken
It will overeat itself, seeming to have
in captivity difficulty in digesting the
hard crayfsh shells. It's coat is, like
the mole's, of an unusually silken and
glossy texture"

I Love The little RED School HoBae

Sung To Tune Of Old Oaken Bucket.
How oft ] remember the Joys Of my child
hood
And the little red school house that stood
i'll the lane,
Surrounded with flowers and empowered
in wildwood,
Where soft fell the sunlight, the dew. and
the RAIN
The playground, the woodland, the song
of the robin,
The squir'ls in the tree-top that waved to
the sky,
The river, the moses, the winds softly
sobbing,
by.
1 dream of the school-days of glad heart
ed childhood,
Of friends of my youth, in their innocent
glee,
Who wandered the paths of the moss
covered wildwood
And chased the gay squirt to his haunt
in the tree.
How sweet were their voices, how dear
were their faces,
l often recall them from long vanished
years,
And memories tender reveal their lost
graces,
Tho often they leave me in sadness and
tears.
| love the red school house tho child
hood is over,
And memories sacred shall close it around
To the friends of my youth l am still the
same lover
AS when we were playmates upon the old
ground.
And when earth is over, when nothing
can sever,
l think l shall look for the old friends
again,
And something of love bind us closer
forever,
For the little red school house that stood
in the lane.
We publish the above parody so that
all school children may get a copy and
learn to sing it. 1t contains a universal
sentiment more beautiful than Old Oaken
Bucket.

Religious Liberty In Russia.

Russia's wal with Japan gave the
progressive elements of thought an OPP
p~ortunity to strike for independence of
thought at home against autocracy.
The uprising in Russia has been so
strong that the Gar on April Both, is
sued an edict establishing religious
freedom throughout that empire.
1t was a decree more memorable in
some aspects than that emancipating
the bodies of twenty million serfs, for
it liberated fifty million souls. Before
that all Russians outside of the Ortho-
dox Church lived on sufferance. They
could hold their own religion. but they
were not allowed to make converts.
They were subject to all sorts of civil
disabilities. Now the schismatic Greek
sects, the Roman Catholics, and ever
the Mohammedans are given the full
rights, such as they are, of Russian
subjects. They are to be allowed to
own real and personal property, estab-
lish monasteries, build schools, print
books, and convert their neighbors.
They may enter the military schools
and become officers. If they show dis
tinguished bravery in the field they may
win the medals hitherto reserved for
true believers. Only the Jews are still
held in their old bonds. The new
Emancipation Proclamation brings free
dom to the consciences of more than
one-third of the population of the en-
pire. But political reformers still per-
sist in demanding a free government as
well as free churches.

The Wilmington Every Evening says:
During his brief stay in Chicago, Pres
ident Roosevelt was twice nominated for
President in 1908 by enthusiastic Demo-
Gratis. 1t is only necessary to say in ex-
plantation, however, that they were Dem
ocrats of the extreme Bryan Populistic
brand. Ii this element should be in con-
troll of the Democratic National Convent
ion in 1908, its Endorsement of President
Roosevelt for another term would not be
surprising.

There is a charming prospect ahead
for the Republican members of Con-
gress. The indications are that moth
ing will turn President Roosevelt from
his purpose of recommending a revision
of the tariff, both to save the consum-
ers from extortion and to yield more
revenue for the government and from
insisting on comprehensive railway rate
legislation. Both of these recommends
tions promise to be extraordinarily pop
ular with the people but most of the
Republican members of Congress were
elected, not as the representatives of
the people, but to represent the pro-
tected industries and the railroad in
ncerests in their districts and States.
SShey never expected that a Republican
fsident would place them ''between
Devil and the deep sea" and now
are fercely opposed either to burn
ing or drowning, although the indica-
tions are that many of them are des-
tined to be submerged or consumed.
