cents, per thousand cubic feet. In New

A New Triumph for Governor Folk,

A New Triumph for Governor Folk.
From the Washington Evening Star Rep.)
Governor Folk has achieved a new
triumph In a new field. 1t probably came
as a surprise to him, for he a not that
particular thing in view at all. 1t may
not help his presidential boom, for 1t Is
s~ociates him with a movement WHICH Is
anything but political and Is far re-
moved from old fashioned democratic
tenets. Blu 1t Is a good thing in itself.
and for that reason IL no other ne
should be proud of 1t. W
Invited to Lexington, KY. to address
a meeting for the advancement of edu-
cation, Governor Folk not only advo-
Gated that cause, but spoke for. other
| good causes. and urged particularly the
execution Of oil Jaws, He warmed UP
j when he reached that head OF his dis
| course, and the effect on the mayor OF
the town, who was present, was some
thing extraordinary. .a
1t seems that the Sunday closing law
In Lexington had virtually been set
aside by the saloonkeepers, and much
indignation among the law abiding poo
pie of the town had resulted. Governor
Folks address set the mayor to think
ing, and forthwith he determined hat
that law. with the others, should be
executed. So he secured some addition
al power from the town council, and
announced to the l~awbreakers that he
was ready to meet them o IN their own
ground. They did not tackle him, but
on Sunday closed up Not a drop OF
the rich stuff which Is produced in such
quantities in that locality was to be
obtained for love or money from The
men who had been selling 1t openly or
tina day. The town was as dry az q
powder horn, and numbers of citizens
thought hat the day would never PASS.

credited with the whole thing. Now. IL
