FOLK EXP0UNDS MISSOURI IDEA.

Minneapolis journal: Governor
Joseph w. Folk, of Missouri, was
the guest OF honor and the princi-
pal speaker at d banquet OF the
Missouri society at the Waldorf
Astoria, New York city. Governor
Folk said:
The Missouri idea means the en-
forcement of law, that il the law be
bad, the remedy is to repeal, not to
ignore it. There is entirely too
little respect for law i'll America.
Every state we find laws a nullity
for policy's sake. Such a thing is
unknown in any other land. Dis
regard OF one law breeds disrespect
for all law. In allowing some laws
TO go uninforced, we reapa harvest
il having all laws broken. The
law may NOT be to ones liking, but
answer It'll law" should be sufii-
Glen, for the law abiding. Good
men will observe bad laws, but bad
men VIII break even good laws. 1t
should DE that all men, good and
bad, be compelled to keep all law,
good anl cad, because it is the law.
But how careless people usually
are as to whether laws are enforced
OF not. This lethargy give rises to
civic evils. Indeed. nearly all pub
lie wrongs grow out Of the inditi-
crence OF the people. There are
many who thrill with patriotic fer
vor ut the thought OF going to war
and risking their lives for their
country, but who forget to vote on
election day. The patriotism OF
peace is just as necessary as the
patriotism OF war. The patriotism
OF the ballot is even more neces-
sary in a free country than the
patriotism of the 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 government needs.
There is a constant conflict be-
tween evil and good and evil must
always be fought against, else the
good will be overcome. The use
full grain the farmer sows does not
grow and Tipen by chance, but
must be cared for and protected;
the thistle. scattered by
chance and cared for by accident,
will flourish anywhere. SO good
government does not exist by ac-
cident. The seeds must be sown
and the plant nurtured and de-
Tended, else the weeds will grow
up and choke it.
The government never neglects
the people unless the people first
neglect the government. No gov
city, state OF nation vas
eAer better than the people made
it, Or worse than they suffered it to
become. The people are the ulti-
mate source Of governmental pow
er. They are the state. and the
public life Ola nation is but a re-
Election Of it's private life. Good
citizens make good laws, but 10
law can make good citizens.
When the people grow lax in the
discharge Of their civic obligations
the government grows corrupt, and
the very fountains Of natural life
are poisoned, justice is 'thwarted
and iniquity is %enthroned, The
greatest and g%ravest dangers which
beset a free nation proceed not
from without, but from within.
States and cities do not consist
Of mortar and brick and stone, but
of the character of their citizen
ship. Wemust preserve that civic
character our forefathers left to us
else our nation will go as others
have gone before.

shall be verified by its secretary
and treasurer, and which report
shall be accompanied by the origi-
nal vouchers in each item Of ex-
penditure. The county commits
sioners shall then proceed to class
ify the expenditures Of the associ-
alton; and ascertain the amount
which the association has actually
expended in the apprehension Of
livestock thieves, and shall then
reimburse the association to the
extent Of such expenditure, which
amount, however, must not exceed
the amount then in the special
herein created for that pur-
pose.

Prophet Honored in His Own Country


The Baltimore American, Saturday,
April 20, gives the head Of one of its
columns to review of Immortality"
by Rev. William L. Seabrook, pastor
of the Lutheran Church of the Re-
deemer, this city. The American
heads it's review: "a Book FOR Lay
men," and says: "The theme Of Mr.
Seabrook's book is one in which all
intelligent people must be interested,
and sooner or later all who learn to
know the value of this little volume
will want to read it. Although it is
written by clergyman, his treatment
of the subject shows clearly that he
has not always been clergyman. 1t
is a book for the layman, written by
one who was trained in the law de-
partment of the University of Mary
land under such men as Co.. Charles
Marshall, Bernard Carter, John P.
Poe and Richard NJ. Venable and ap-
proaches the subject by methods
which will be more familiar TO the
Law mind, and at the same time more
convincing to it possibly than the
theological method. The book and
the author have our hearty commen-
dation."
Mr. Seabrook has received an auto
graph letter, Of which he is justly
proud, from Cardinal Gibbons, the
head of the Roman Catholic Church
in America, thanking him for his
book.

Omissions Of History.

Methuselah, being only little over
400 and still in the -vigor Of young
manhood, betlaought himself of the
duty of providing for his descendants,
and made application for a policy OF
life insurance.
The medical director Of the compa-
ny colby turned him down.
"What's the matter?" demanded
Methuselah. Don't you consider ne
a safe risk?"
mo sir" replied the medical direct
or. The records show that your
father lived only 365 years, and the
probability is that you have some he
reditary taint. We can't afford to
take chances on you"
Methuselah said nothing. He mere
ly went ahead and outlived the insur-
ance company.

ACREAGE REDUCED.
Farmers Should Grow Turkeys and
Guineas and Sheep.


a year ago. it was only natural that
the heads Of some of our farmers
should be turned. The acreage, how
ever. in this section will be reduced.
The decrease will not be as great as
could be desired, but it is hoped, e.
nough to affect the yield.
There is a disposition toward di-
versified farming More corn will be
planted this season than was planted
last wear. There has been an in
crease in wheat acreage; and there
has not been so much barley sowed in
generation. Farmers are doing
more preparatory work before plant
ing now. than at any previous time.
On this account, and on account OF
excessive rain, it will be about the
middle of May before planting IS
completed. Conditions have been
favorable and there will likely be
good stands of corn and cotton, un-
less the latter is killed by the cool
wet weather. A fixed and invariable
price for cotton it would seem, would
be a blessing to the country. But
then I suppose this idea is utopian
and hardly worth entertaining.
Rarely or never have there been
so many cut worms in the helds as
we have this season. | fear that their
presence bodies evil to the farming m
terest. Farmers have made the mis-
take of not cultivating the Trend
shin Of the birds. There seem to be
fewer of them now than formerly.
They have either been killed, or they
have migrated. Along with afford
ine protection to the birds, farmers
would do we'll to grow more turkeys
and guinea fowls. They live in the
field a good part of the time and are
great feeders upon worms and IN
sects. Besides affording good and
cheap food for the farmers table. tur-
KEYS commanded good prices on the
market last season. And then guineas
yeild so many eggs it pays the tlller
of the soil to keep them on this ac-
count.
All me! how I miss the flocks OF
sheep that was accustomed to see IN
my boyhood days. Newberry has
great deal of land that is bringing ITS
owners no return. This might be
utilized for sheep pasturage. There
is scarcely any flesh that is great
er luxury than good mutton. Our
county ought to furnish the home,
and nearby markets. hundreds OF
lambs annually. And then we have
the mills in our section to convert
wool into good substantial cloth.
But the silly sheep has mortal ter
ror OF the yailer dog, fees before h1m
and gives him the right Of way. VIII

farmers and Our section

ON THE DIAMOND
Furman Wins From Newberry in
Slow Game Played on Furman
Diamond.

In a game of base ball marred by
errors. Furman defeated Newberry
Tuesday afternoon on the formers 5
diamond in Greenville. Furman
scored one run in first on errors and
for Newberry, Cabaniss got a two
bagger. Olney hit in ribs. Holloway
sacrificed. and Simpson hit safe to left
scoring the two. Nothing down in
second for either club. But Furman
ties score in third on error again.
Then some pretty ball was put up
for five innings with the exception
of Furman's bum work in sixth al
lowing the champions TO score again.
Then in eighth Swink hit one hard,
which would have been a clean two
sacker and nothing more had not the
ball found its way under the canvas
which enclosed the park, making it
possible for the runner to circle the
bases for home run. Newberry hit
two which would have resulted in
home runs also had not the canvas
been nysteriously pulled down in
stead of up as in the case of the
'lucl;y" Swirk This tied the score
3 to3. Newberry failed to dot the
scoreboard in eighth. In the ninth
Furman with heavy hitting coupled
with an error to Newberry, managed
to score three The Newberry "ln-
dams" succeeded in getting in one in
their half of the ninth on two hits
and a stolen base, and with two men
out and a man on third and Olney
to the bat, Cabaniss was caught 60
ing to second, ending the game with
score standing f to 4 in favor of Fur
man. Newberry had an off day max
ing eight errors and Furman made
seven which does not speak well for
them as they were on their own
grounds.
Crouch pitched the better game
with the exception Of the ninth in
