Lee is to give the names of the

is, will Lees testimony be proof

Events in state politics are be-
ginning to indicate the fultillment
of the prophesies of the cold
guard" that the nomination and
election of Folk as governor of Mis-
souri, would mean simply a substi-
tuition of Folk machine for the
old ring machine that had dominat-
ed Democratic politics in Missouri
for so many years. The Cover
nor's appointees are all men class
ed as Folk shouters last year. The
state institutions are being filled
with Folk men rs fast as it can be
done. This was evidenced in one
instance in the recent change in
the personal of the management of
hospital for insane at Pennington.
In the filling of the positions in
this institution State Insurance
Commissioner W. d. Vandiver
had hand. This brings to our
mind a remark made by Mr.. Van
diver in Potosi more than year
ago while campaigning in the in
terest of Folk. He (Vandiver) said
that he had himself been seriously
solicited by his friends to make the
race for the gubernatorial nomina-
tion in 1904, but had turned down
the proposition because he felt the
time was not ripe for him then, and
that it was ripe for Folk. He left
the conclusion to be inferred that he
might be candidate when the
situation had ripened more for Van
diver. Is Folk fixing things for
Vandiver for Governor in 1908!
1t looks suspiciously that way.

One thing is particularly worthy

One thing is particularly worthy
of note in the developments of the
attempt to steal the city's gas
plant in Philadelphia-the fact
that with but a single exception no
Philadelphia newspaper gave the
gang its support in The contemplate
ed steal; and the one exception, a
rank gang organ, only gave weak
countenance to it. Whatever may
be said Of the subsidized press
and it is regretably true that the
function of the newspapers of the
country is often prevented by its
counting-room policy-it cannot
be said that 1t stands idly by as Il
rule to see public resources looted
for private gain. Party lines are
never so rigid that Il party organ
will endorse and uphold party res
cality through which the public is
to be made the victim. 1t is in
the incorruptible press that the
people have protector against
the schemes and wiles of men, both
private and public.
