REFORM HERE TO STAY.
Gov. Folk Declares Present Move
ment Mightiest Ever.

Governor Folk of Missouri, in his
speech before the Winona Assembly
indicated that a golden age was dawn
ing, for America because of the fact
that reform is here TO stay. He says !:
This is the best age OF all the
world, and there are questions to be
settled today, just as important as
any that have come in our national
life. Meier were greater movements
in progress than those of today, and
great tidal waves of reform are
sweeping over our land
Before today there have been in
our country great moral movements,
but they have been local, and the
vampire of graft only temporarily
drove them away But today reform
bids fair to be universal and the
question asked on every side is will
il last?"
Gov. Folk cited Philadelphia and
other cities to show how great was
the strength oil the gang, and how
the public conscience was awakened
What was done in those cities can
be done anywhere he said. Twelve
law breakers make more noise than
500 law-abiding citizens, and it is cas-
Ter to serve the law-abiding than the
lawless"
Governor Folk said he did not care
for the support of the lawless or their
friends, and that in every county III
his state he made that statement,
with the result that he carried all the
primaries in 106 of the ia counties
of his state The lawless element de-
clared they would not let him live i'll
the state. and his reply was that he
would show them whether the state
belonged to them or to the people.

More Lehr Lunacy.

That peculiar form of idiocy in
which New York society INDUCED
when skirtdancing, wine-selling HarA
ry Lehr was at the height of his pop
ularity along Fifth avennu, and when
he spread Lucullan feast at which a
monkey in full dress was the guest of
honor, has come to life again. Miss
Sophia Curtis of of New York has
delighted her friends by giving a
party in honor of the seventh
birthday of her pet horse, Surprise
at her summer home, Sheffield, Mas.
The pampered animal walked up
the front steps into the drawing
room, and from, where he INDUCED
in horse laugh indicative of his
great pleasure at beholding the huge
birthday cake, on which were set
seven lighted candles, which had been
built in his honor. The horse sat at
the table with his doting mistress
and number of her friends After
the dinner one of his women wor-
shippers crowned him with a wreath
of red roses and delivered an address
congratulating him upon having live ]
to be thus owned and honored

No Corruption Fund" Likely.

Although the bill prohibiting cor
porations from contributing to cam
paign funds failed to pass at the last
session of congress, there is little rea
son to fear that the exchequer OF eth
er party will be tainted" to any
great extent by corporate contribu-
tons this fall.
On the contrary, the party manag
ers are likely to be hard put to it for
funds with which tc meet the most
ordinary and necessary expenses, and
there are many such expenses despite
the conventional notion that all mon
ey used in political campaigns is nee
essarily used for corrupt purposes
With the accustomed contributions
from corporate sources cut off the
campaign will have to be conducted
with unprecedented economy.
There is little doubt that the cor
porate contributions will be missing,
and for obvious reasons.
In the first place, the corporations
never have been anxious to give their
money away If they have contribut-
ed to political funds it has been BE-
cause pressure has been brought TO
bear upon them to do so. They have
been cajoled or threatened into con-
tributing They will be glad of an
excuse to discontinue their contribu
TOMS and nobody can deny that they
now have excellent reasons.
When the politicians come around
asking for the usual donation the
corporation managers can and will
point to the fact that neither party
has been especially considerate of
corporate enterprises lately and that
there is small indication of greater
consideration in the future. Why
they will ask, should the explorations
give money for their own uni,ing?
II will be hard for the collectors to
give a satisfactory answer.
Ii will be just as hard for them
to argue away the fact that most OF
the alleged corruption which has been
SO loudly denounced during the last
year or two has been laid at the door
of the corporations. "lf we withhold
our contributions we can hardly be
accused of corruption" will be the
naural assumption of the corporation
managers; you will have to get along
without our contributions this year"
Finally and decisively, the corpora
ton people will remind the political
solicitors that certain corr o.at on
managers have been threatened with
the penitentiary for disbursing the
money of the stockholders to cam
paign directors and they will simply
decline to take my such chances
themselves That viii probably settle

Educators are again giving atten-
ton to cultivating the use of both
hands by Understanding them am
.bidextrous. 1t is great advantage
for man or women to be able to use
both hands equally well; and if par
ents would give little attention to
the matter large proportion of
children would possess this skill. The
novelist, Thackery. was an enthusi-
astic supporter of training both
hands.
William Masters, thirteen-year-
old boy of Rochester, had his hand
completely blown off by the explo-
sion of a giant fire cracker while
visiting his brother at New Carlisle
during the Fourth of July. The boy
picked UP a cannon cracker from the
street which had previously been
lighted but failed to explode though
the fuse was burned off. Young
Masters applied match to the crack
er and before he could throw it
from him the thing exploded tearing
his hand completely off.
J. G. Phelps, Stokes, the New York
millionaire philanthropist, has re-
nounced Hearstism, but avows him
self believer in what he understands
to be socialism. Like the man way
down in Maine who declared himself
in favor of the prohibitory law but
opposed to its Enforcement, Mr.
Stokes expresses a high regard for
socialistic doctrines but prefers not 10
divide his worldly possessions with
those who share his socialistic senti
ments. In this Mr.. Stokes is wise
even though his attitude be inconsist-
ent with his professed faith.-South

RUSSIA MAY SPLIT UP.
Dissolution of Vast Empire Immi-
nent the Moment Cars Power :.
is Broken.

The dissolution of the mighty Rus
ian Empire into many independent
states the moment the grip of autoc-
racy is broken, is presaged by the &C
ton of the members of parliament
who have begun to organize themsel-
YES into groups according to national
ity with the avowed purpose of pro-
tecting local interests.
Party lines are giving way every
where to racial ties. The Armen;ans
Tartars, Georgians and Cossacks of
the Caucasus have formed separate
groups. The Poles and mem
bers form the Baltic provinces were
previously organized The Little Rus
slams, representing a great part of
Russia in Europe, also have united.
Another feature of the parliament
airy session is the fact that there have
been no roll call on any of the meas
ures passed. The reason for this is
the fear Of members that the reaction
lists may come into power again and
make prosecutions on the attitude nf
the members toward reform meas
ures.

And when at last Lima was TO make her
debut in grand opera at Lisbon she
was waiting anxiously to learn the re-
suit.
When she learned the pitiful result
Ada Cavalieri took a great decision.
Quitting her place at Genoa she hurried
to Paris.
She settled down beside her wound
ed and reckless sister. Did she try to
comfort her? How could the born old
maid comfort her? But it is certain
that the frigid Ada wrestled with the
fiery Lima seven days-and triumphed!
Grooming in spirit like the camel,
Lima again renounced the easy life and
money of the music halls. Again she
took up the burden of grand opera.
Love, with great shining eyes, nc long
er beckoned her. But or and on she
bore the burden, with her sister always
by her. How she finally succeeded is
we'll known.
In 1901 she was singing the principal
part of Mimi in Puccini's "Vie de
Boheme" at nc less an opera house
than the San Carlo of Naples. Next she
secured a brilliant engagement for an

venge on the cruel Lisbon public by an

On Road to Grand Opera.
Like the camel that is being loaded,
Lima groaned in spirit. Like the
camel, she was slow in getting started.
But, still like that reliable creature,
once started, she kept going. In 1867
the music halls saw no more of Lima
Cavalieri; and it became known that
she was diligently c%ultivating her voice
under Nine. Mariani-Masi.
Three years passed in work and love
and hope. Then Lina's chance came in
1900, when she was allowed to make
her debut at no less a musical center
than the Theater Royal of Lisbon as
Media in. "Pagliacci."
Unhappily, the Lisbon public is a
hard one. When it pays for grand
opera it insists on having something
near perfection. The debutante was
young, exceedingly lovely, with a
sweet voice; but she showed ~inexperi-
ence. Did she not also display nerv-
BUSINESS due to emotion over some low
ers' misunderstanding? One would
prefer to think so-for the Judging OF

Paris.-That the most beautiful
woman of Europe" may be discomfort
ed with her job is shown by the ex-
traordinary case of Lima Cavalieri.
AS a music hall star of the first
magnitude she was flattered and feted.
She had but to show her beautiful per-
son and MARBLE a few ditties to earn
heavy money. The world had prac-
tically told her that her loneliness was
all-suficient without talent.
Lima Cavalieri tossed aside the bril-
liant sinecure and plodded the hard
road leading to grand opera. When
Parisians learned it they shrugged at
the impractical choice and as good as
forgot her. Now she has just given
them a mighty jolt by coming back as
a grand opera star, with a rumored
engagement at the Paris opera itself:
and furthermore she has just bought
q splendid mansion in the Avenue de
Messine. But why she grew discon-
tented with being the most beautiful
woman Of Europe" and how she threw
up the music hall sinecure on the Off
chance of succeeding in grand opera
remains a secret.
The secret spring of Lina's change
of base began with a great hope, con-
tinued through a great despair and
ended in a great devotion. The hope
and the despair were those of worldly
love. But the devotion was that of a
sister.
Nothing could be more striking than
the contrast between the lives chosen
by the two girls. When their widowed
