Civic Department.
What Ex-Governor Folk Said.

l Stafford suffers because its best citizens refuse to 'avow themselves on the side of law and order. They fea1 commercial loss, political injury, on social disfavor. b We shall never have proper enforcement of any laws until these who believe ill them are will ing to stand up and say so. Listen to what Ex. Gov. Folk says on this score. It applies everywhere:
 If corruption exists anywhere the people are to, blAme. If corruption is to be eradicated the people alone can do it. Whatis needed is more of the kind of patriotism that fights for city, state and country every day-the kind of patriotism that will go into battles of peace as readily as into the battles of war. There never was 8 time when the. need of patriotic men in public affairs was greater than now. We need more men actuated alone by public good, and fewer of those who are in position for revenue only. The law abiding people are in the ma. jority here, and there is hardly 8 community ir this country of which this cannot be said. They are usually quiet though, while the lawless are so vociferous as to deceive many as to their mum ber When the lawless get a bad man in office they support him in all the evil that he does, but when the law abiding get a man in office too often they are ready to criticize him, and leave him to fight the battle without their active aid. When good citizens attend to their civic duties their civic energy is repre- scented in good officials. When they are careless their slothfulness is repre- scented by corrupt officials. To arouse good citizens, and make them realize their civic duties, is a matter of su- preme importance ....:r

Nagel and Durand Hasten to beverly
to Help President Choose Three
Hundred Supervisors
OF Census.

Beverly, Mass. Aug. 13.--rwo cabi-
net officers are coming to Beverly to-
morrow. Secretary Nagel of the De-
.partment Of Commerce and Labor. is
coming to take up with the President
the matter OF the appointment of
more than soc census supervisors
throughout the length and breadth of
the land. Postmaster General Hitch
cock will be here at the same time
and will probably have an important
part In the division of the census
plums.
Cecil Lyon, Republican national
committeeman from Texas. also Is ex-
pected in Beverly tomorrow. The
President announced several days ago
other states of the so-called Solid
South" he would divide the census APP
pointments equally between the Re-
pnbIican and Democrats, the leaders
OF the two paftfes to Arrange The d.
vision on o satisfactory basis.
e. Dana Durand! director OF the
census, will also be at the Taft cot
tage. The President has turned ever
recommendations. for census places
to the department heads having the
matter in charge. with the general In
structions that the men to be selected
shall be of unquestioned ability and
fitness for the important Offices they
are to fill.
Mrs. Taft came down town again
today. She enjoys her little shopping
excursions into theA city, and as few
people recognize her, she moves about
with few curious eyes to follow her.
In the midst of her shopping today,
Mrs. Taft soopped at one of the corner
drug stores and with Mrs. More, her
sister, had a glass of ice cream soda.
A woman who has called twice at
the executive Offices in an EFFORT to
have President Taft grant a pardon to
a brother, who is serving a term In
one of the Federal penitentiaries. has
started much speculation in Beverly :.
1t Is said that she has been several
times to the golf links whore the Pres
ident was playing and has tried to
have an interview at the cottage. Sec
rotary Carpenter has suggested to the
woman that pardon cases are only
taken up through the Department OF
Justice at Washington and must be
thoroughly Investigated and reported
on by the officials of that department
before they can act.
