REIGN or the DOLLAR OVER


Gov. rolk on the Significance Of
'tGrafi'' Exposures.
New York, July 10.-The World has
the following from Joseph W. Folk,
governor Of Missouri:
"In response TO your Telegram - 10
my opinion Of the Significance Of the
boodling exposures 90 generally being
made, and AZ to whether It indicates Q
decadence in the moral tone Of the
American people, have to say:
"The hunt for boodlerS and grafters
now going on from one end Of the land
to the other is an evidence not Of NOR
al degeneration, but Of moral awake
ming. Up to three years ago there
had been only thirty -four cases Of brih.
cry reported in the preceding hundred
years Of our country's history. This
was not because the ofense was uncom-
mon, but for the reason that it was I'M
usual for anyone to be prosecuted for
what was then termed conventional
crime. Men gave bribee and thought
nothing Of it. Men took brides and
boasted Of tho fact. Legislative halls
became dens Of thieves. The touch Of
the unclean dollar was over all and
the public conscience was asleep.
"Then came the revelations in St.
Louis, followed by Minneapolis and
other large cities and the people awoke
to how they were being plundered by
their trusted officials, and to the fact
that bribery, if allowed to 60 uncheck-
ed, would mean government not Of the
people, but of the few with wealth
enough to purchase official favors.
From city to city and from state to
state the idea went until now many
states and cities are waging war
against the things that dishonor.
"This condition should encourage
all lovers Of good government, for the
remedy for corruption in its last anal
ysis lies in the hearts of the people.
eve have passed through tho com
mercial age, when the chief end and
aim were to acquire wealth; we are
entering now into the age of high
ideals. The question is now not how
to get rich. but how to get right. The

was and the reign Of law is becoming
more accepted. We are passing from

cause of the rumors of impending trou-
BILE between the company and the tele-

Both sides seem to be preparing for
struggle. The company has been
hiring men under contract in Chicago
and st. Louis, and has also sent thirty
clerks from the Office of the auditor Of
freight receipts to Seattle to be in
readiness to act as dummy" station
agents in case Of trouble.
The photographers, on the other hand,
have secured q poll Of the road, and
President Perham has q number OF
deputy presidents and union workers
distributed along the road lining up
the men.

they want the company to do.
