EX.C0V. FOLK AT ASHLAND
Ex-Governor of Missouri and Plesi-
Dental Candidate on the Awaken
ing of the Public Conscience.

Before one of the largest audi
ences ever assembled at Ashland, Jo-
seph W. Folk, former governor of
Missouri, who won fame as prese-
cutting attorney in exposing the
grafters, and who is mentioned as
candidate for the democratic nomin-
alton for the presidency. spoke en-
tertainingly on the awakening of the
public conscience in the matter OF
government and the nationwide bat
tie against corruption and for clean
government. His lecture, which was
the star attraction of the Ashland
Chautauqua, was interrupted with
frequent applause and at its con-
clusion public reception was ten
dered Mr.. Folk.
Mr.. Folk spoke in part as follows:
Great Awakening.
There has been a great awakening
on the subject of individual RESPONSE.
bility for the affairs of city, state
and nation within the last rev years
The public conscience has been
aroused against evils and things are
not tolerated now that few years
ago were submitted to in silence. VIII
the movement toward higher ideals
go on? Will not the people soon
forget? Have not the people already
forgotten, and will not things be al
lowed to go in the same old way as
they were before the awakening of
the people? These questions are be-
ing asked all over the country today
Reforms sometimes die, but revo.
lutions never go backward, and a
revolution has been wrought In the
conscience of men. The awakening
is merely determination to have the
government OF city, state and natioI
represent the public interest and no
special privilege, In the battl,
against privilege some fights must b,
lost. With each fight lost we should
not lose courage, but fight all tn,
harder: with each fight won W,
should not become apathetic, anC
think all has been won.

Money Needed for Good Work

Twelve years ago, Massachusetts
made the first appropriation for a
state sanitarium. Since that time,
over $10,00O,000 has been appropri-
ated by state legislatures for the pre-
vention of tuberculosis, and about an
equal sum by municipal an' county
authorities. The federal 50 rnment
has over s1,000,000 invested in tuber-
culosis hospitals, and spends annually
about 100000 in their maintenance.
Every year the percentage of appro-
priations made from public funds for
tuberculosis work has increased.
While private societies have led the
way in the tuberculosis campaign,
every effort has been made to have
states, cities and counties do their
share. A bulletin Of the national as.
ISOLATION states that the final success
of the anti-tuberculosis crusade de.
