sands for the Democratic nomina-
tion for President who said
THE great question before the
country is: shall there be gov
ernment by the people for all, OF
government by privilege for a
class?"
Therein is comprised all the
issues of all parties. The tariff,
trusts, conservation of natural
resources, immigration, imcon-
stant warfare between the people
and the predatory powers that
makes issues, one and all.
The solution of the question
Mr.. Folk has that too. 1t is con-
tained in his Words
Progressive democracy is con-
conrtructive, not destructive. 1t
would not array class against
class, but would preserve the
rights of all by causing each to
protect the rights of others.
1t is as constructive states
man that Joseph w. Folk will
be known in history, for wherev-
er he has attacked and destroyed
evil he has done the work of the
true constructionist, built a foun-
dation whereon truth and upright
ness might erect new structure.
He believes that the doctrine of
equal rights should be made a
living, vital controlling force in
government and he has measured
up to his doctrine. How we'll he
succeeded in his task is known
to all students of contemporary
history, who have seen Missouri
converted from State sore with
scandal and corruption into a

Who is Joseph w. Folk? He
is the apostle of the law of COM
mon honesty in all affairs. He is a
man who "does things. News
papers and public documents
have been full of his name for
years. Even newspapers of
hostile political beliefs have done
him honor for his achievements
have compelled it. He evolved
the now world-famous Missouri
Idea" and by the force of his
character made it an actual,
living part of municipal life.
When he said bribery is trea-
son. bribe-t takers replied
Bribery is a conventional crime.
We have the authority of a great
constitutional lawyer for it,.
Two years later the jails of the
United States were filled with
men who had been convicted of
this conventional crime. Such
is the man who may be President
of the United States.
Joseph w. Folk is a young man
to have accomplished so much.
He was born October %, 1869.
Brownsville, Tenn, was his
birthplace. His father was Henry
B. Folk, a native of North Caro-
lima and one of Tennessee's most
eminent lawyers. Inc mOCner,
Martha Estes Folk, came of old
Virginia stock.
After finishing in the common
schools of his native town Mr.
Folk attended Vanderbilt Univer-
sitv. where he was graduated
in law in 1890. Returning to
Brownsville he practiced law for
a year, then removed to St. Louis.
He practiced in the civil courts
and soon built up a large prac-
tice. Although he had a living to
make, he took deep and patri
otic interests in public affairs.
Always Democrat he took the

LA TOILETTE WILL
Be HERE DEC, 23RO
Present Plans Call for Meet
ing Here on Saturday
of Next Week.

Word was received here today that
Senator La Toilette has about COM
pleted arrangements to deliver an ad-
dress in Richmond on the evening OF
Saturday. December 23d. He will
probably speak at the coliseum. Plans
for the short trip he will make through
the middle west during the holiday
recess Of congress are still tentative,
but 1t is probable the senator will
leave Washington, December Goth or
21st. and will go either to New York
City or some point in Ohio to deliver
his first address. In all probability he
will go to Ohio instead of New York
Following his opening address the
senator will. according to present
plans. come to Richmond. Following
his meeting here he will probably
leave the state. returning to his home
in Wisconsin for Christmas. Before
the first of the year he will return to
Indiana and. according to his plans
now, will make two addresses at In
dianapolis, one at a noon day meeting
under the auspices of the Indiana
Shippers association, and the other in
the evening. He will make other ad-
dresses in Indiana, but this has not
been decided.

HOSPITAL PROBERS
MET LAST EVENING
To Make Thorough Investi-
cation of All the Com
plants Filed.

The hospital investigating COM
mittee that was appointed by May
or Zimmerman to investigate the
complaints filed with council regard
ing the management of the Reid
Memorial hospital held it's first
meeting last night at the office of
the board of public works and out
lined it's work.
The committee decided to make a
thorough investigation of all the
complaints that have been registered
against the hospital management,
and determine the exact relation ex-
listing between the city and hospital.
The committee will meet every We'd
nesday and Thursday evening until
its work is completed. and the testi-
mony of the witnesses subpoened be-
fore the committee will be taken ver-
batum and made part of the re-
cords of the committee. The COM
mittee feels that as Reid Memorial
hospital is a public institution the
citizens should have a complete re-
port of the affairs of the hospital
and know the relation of that in
to the city. The records Of
all meetings of the committee will
be kept secret until the final report
is issued. The committee issued a
statement last night that the in
vestigation would cover all phases of
the situation and all personal preiu-
dices that might exist would be ELI
minated from the process of investi-
cation. The next meeting of the
committee win be held tonight.

A LEAN CHRISTMAS
FOR WALL STREET
Was Lean Year, Hence Soft
Pedal on the Usual
Generous Gifts.
(National News Association

NEW YORK, Dec 14-Wail street
employees from the six-dollar-a-week
office boy to the Office managers with
salaries reaching five figures a year
are not looking forward to Christmas
this year with their customary joyful
anticipation. 1t has been a lean year,
very lean year, for 'the street." and
as a consequence the word has gone
out thatit win be pitifur emaciated
Santa Claus that will go around dis
tributing the Christmas and end-of-the
year bonuses during the next two
weeks. The year has ben a poor one
for the brokers from the very start
and the recent slump was scarcely
necessary to aid the gloom" in giving
the Joys" the final knockout punch.
The clerical forces of the great
stock exchange houses will be the
chief sufferers from the falling off in
the bonus funds. Scarcely any Of the
large houses will end the year cler,
for they have experienced big de-
crease in business and at the same
time have been under as heavy expen-
systems and branch houses as in the
fat" years.
The bank employees probably will
fare much better this year than the
brokerage forces, though this condi-
ton usually is reversed when the
stock exchange firms are prosperous
The men back of the big banks are all
possessed Of great wealth and they
argue that it would be poor policy to
make their employees suffer for the
smaller returns OF the past twelve
months. Several OF the great banking
houses make it rule to give their
managers and clerks fifty per cent of
their salaries at the end of the year,
and ten and even twenty-five per cent
distributions are not uncommon. 1t is
not believed. however. that any frm
will give 100 per cent bonuses this
year. as was done by several houses
in 1901.
