FOLK TALKS
TO SOLONS
GOVERNOR OF MISSOURI ACCEPTS
INVITATION TO ADDRESS
IOWA LEGISLATURE
AVOIDS D BILLS
Does Not Speak Regarding AntIPass
or Primary Leglslation-says Need
Is for Enforcement Of Laws More
Than for More Laws-eis Decrease
in Crime in Missouri Cities.

Des Moines, April 3.-Governor Folk
OF Missouri addressed the houses Of
tne Iowa legislature yesterday but he
ala not mention pending or specific
legislation, reserving discussion Of
those subjects for interviews and his
address at the Jeffersonian banquet.
It was in his mind to discuss anti
pass legislation in his address to the
legislature, but Representative Colclo
OF Carroll county, a democrat, in con.
ference with Governor Folk requested
him not to allude to the subject for
the reason that the bill still was pend.
ing in the house. He acceded to the
request and referred neither to the
anti-pass nor real primary bills, both
of which he heartily indorsed.
Patriotism.
Governor Folk reached the senate at
2:10 and was received with applause.
He said in part:
Il have just passed the house and
am now up for passage by the senate.
If pass this body, I suppose I will be
entitled to be enrolled as a citizen of
the great state of Iowa" (Applause.)
The speaker said he knew the trials
ofsmen who represent the people of a
state, and he knew the people did not
fully appreciate the labor of their rep
resentatives.
"We can meet on the common
ground of patriotism to our country
Patriotism has a different significance
now from what it had a few years
ago. Then it meant war. Now we
hove q0,,rI r,yo oo-t 5scr1ou n S poJ,ob
patriotism in the everyday duties Of
civic life as in barring ones breast te
the waves of war. We need more
men who are in public life for the
good of the people than for their owt
personal aggrandizement.
Five hundred law abiding people
do not make so much noise as a dozer
law breakers.
we hear all over the land the re
port Of IN uprising of civic righteous
ness. Will it continue? we are asked
l answer, yes it will as long as me1
love their homes, their states, theil
native country.
Enforcement Of Laws.
81 read a criticism today that vol
had not passed laws enough. Now,
believe that we need enforcement o
law more than we do new laws. There
is too much of a tendency to enac
laws to please the moral part of thu
community and leave them for the of
fcials to disregard in order to please
the immoral part"
The governor said that laws coult
be enforced if the officials desired. Il
the big cities of Missouri, he said
crime had been decreased 40 per cen
during his administration as governor
In closing he thanked the senator
and invited them to come To Missouri
when the compliment given hin
would be returned.

THAT account of Birbe and his pull
with the police department which ap-
peared in the Advertiser was as true
and correctly stated as if Birbe had
written it," said friend of that worthy
yesterday. "Birbe is still in town and
will not leave until the Nebrasllan

intended to sail on that steamer and
would buy a lot of hogs for his uncle
He got the Portuguese out of choke

for the way he managed it. 1 was in
Scottys when he and his friend came
in to get a drink and Birbe remarked
that he was broke and would have to
make a touch somewhere. The next
l saw of the pair they We're in front
of the station house and 1 heard Bfrbe
tell his friend to keep the Portuguese
busy while he went inside When
Birbe left the released prisoner and his
friend he had five spot between the
thumb and finger of his right mitt
and they went back into Scotty's and
q little while afterward Birbe sent
drinks and cigars over to the station
house. Whether that was the police

but it looked to me as though that
was it. The other fellow was not in

Though he had come in from a plan

There seems to be no doubt of the

THE TRUTH ALWAYS.

"When you are in doubt tell
the truth" 1t was an expert
enced old diplomat who said this
to beginner n the work. It
may pass in some things, but
not in business. Fraud and de-
ception are often profitable so
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell the truth all the
time. Thus you make friends
that stick by you, and a reputa-
ton that is always worth TWEEN
ty shillings to the pound every
where your goods are offered for
sale. We are able modestly to
affirm, that it is on this basis
that the worldwide popularity of
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
rests. The people have discov-
cred that this medicine is exact
~ what it is said to be, and
that it does what we have al
ways declared it will do. It's ma
ture also has been frankly made
known. It is palatable as honey
and contains all the nutritive and
curative properties of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, extracted by US from
fresh COD livers, combined with
the Compound Syrup of Hypo-
