FOLKS MISTAKE.

Ii Folk and MS adnefen1S
could be taught to respect the
feeling, the rights and the liber-
ties of others, they might do Il
greater service to the democratic
party and the chances of Mr..
Folk to climb the ladder of fame
would be greatly enhanced.
Mr.. Folk is a great and good
man in many ways, but not
good politician. He could do his
country a greater service as a
reformer, or for instance, en-
gage in envangeliStic work and
become a second Sam Jones.
There is a vacancy in the world
since the death of Sam Jones,
Just as there will be when Bryan
is gone, and some political mis-
tit should prepare to fill them.
We have no objection to Mr..
Folk as a man, OF as refOrmer,
and we do not question the hon
eSty of his convictions nor of his
purpose, but being neither a
statesman nor a politician, he is
a serious handicap to his party
when he forces himself in the
way as "a presidential possibility.
OF course there is not the least
scintilla of hope for Mr.. Folk to
receive the nomination, but with
out the dissension he will create
the next president of the United
States might be a Missourian.
Folks political career has been
one of discord and dissenSion.
By fighting his own party he
was elected governor by rcpubli-
can votes, and then in turn re.
publican governor was elected.
No man likes to be abused-to
be called corrupt, a thief, thug
or a scoundrel, while just such
terms and epithets is the cam
paign cry of the FolkiteS-every
one who differs with them is a
desperate. a saloon thug or a
gambler. 1t is just such talk as
this by Folk and his followers
that injured the democratic par
ty in this state and makes Mr..
Folk dangerous presidential tim
be.
Certainly those who oppose
Mr.. Folk have "A right to their
opinion. This is supposed to be II
country of free thought and free
speech and of free political af-
tiliationS, and no party is neceS,
sarily corrupt. The fact is, no
party can afford to be corrupt
nor to advocate on even condonc
corruption in any form. All par
ties must have as their watch
| word the betterment of humani-
ty. We may differ with them in

in the state blue book. 1t is
funny that the Democrat denies
the politics of the Herald, and
then when we demand and show
our rights, says we have no right
in politics. If the Hayti Herald
is to be denied the right to keep
in touch with politicians and
candidates, then how are we to

pretty kettle of fish? The Herald
is in politics, however, and is
there to stay.

NATIONAL BANKS
TRANSMIT CASH
FOR POLITICIANS

New York, Aug. 29.-Acting Chair
man McAdoo, in disclosing his sugges-
tion that banks act as receivers for
campaign contributions for all parties,
has been received In all parts OF the
country as one Of the most practical
ideas OF the compaign.
Acting Chairman McAdoo has the
following to say on this subject:
The opinion of the acting solicitor
of the treasury department that ma
tionai banks receive and transmit sub
scriptions for each Of the national
political parties puts at rest all ques-
tions as to the right of the banks to
act II they want to do SO. 1t is, Of
course, our intention to have the
banks charge for all expenses to which
they may be put for the service they
may render.
"The letters to the banks are just
going out, and already we are having
responses from all parts of the coun-
try In few days we shall publish a
list of the institutions which have
agreed to- serve.
1T is decided innovation, and some
of the banks. with their usual conser.
vatism are hesitating about it, but
believe there will be a very general
response in its favor.
1T is thoroughly non-partisan serv.
ice, and one that will be of great bene-
lit to the whole country 1t puts upon
the banks once in four years, and fol
a period not exceeding ninety days, a
relatively small burden, They will be
paid for any expense to which they
may be put and at the same time they
will make large contribution to the
public good

NEW RAILROAD
DECIDES upon
JOPLIN ROUTE
Missouri, Oklahoma q Gulf Will Use
Frisco Tracks East From Baxter
Springs, kans., to Joplin.

Joplin. Mo, Aug. 29.-The Missouri,
Oklahoma & Gulf railroad has closed
negotiations for the use OF the Frisco
tracks between Baxter Springs and
Joplin, according to A. 0. Won Dorm,
commercial agent Of the new road with
headquarters In Kansas City. Mr.. Won
Dorm was In Joplin yesterday.
BY using the Frisco tracks, instead
OF laying its own steel, the company
will be enabled to operate trains on
the road at an earlier date. Within
less than four months trains probably
will be in operation ON the new road
into Joplin Mr.. Won Dorm said yester-
day 1t was certain the road would be
handling business out Of Joplin by
January /, 1918
Whether or not the old Memphis
tracks will be used between Galena
and Joplin, Mr.. Won Dorm could not
SAY.
II is undetermined what depot the
mr., o. g. G. win use. Many reports
concerning the company's plans are
current, but officials have refused to
furnish any information on the sub
lject.
Some time ago it was said that the
Missouri Pacific would join the own
ers Of the new road In the erection Of
a new depot, to be shared by both com
panies. The announcement that Nj,
0. & q. trains will be operated over
the Frisco tracks for q short distance
has given color to a rumor that the
road viii use the new Frisco depot.
Has Reached Miami.
A great amount OF work on the new
railroad has been completed Rails
have been laid UP to the Neosho river
at Miami. Okla. When a few bridges
are erected the roadway will be com
pleted from Wagner. Okla, to Miami
1t is believed that tracks may be laid
from Miami to Baxter Springs within
"a short time.
While here Mr.. Won Dorm announc-
ed the names of stations on the road
from Wagner, Okla. to Joplin. With
the exception of Fairland, Miami and
Baxter Springs, all of the stations are
Inew ones. The names Of the towns In

LOUIS BRANDE|S
FOR WILSON

New York, Aug. 29.--Louis ID. Bran
deis, the noted Boston attorney and
!reformer and who has long been a
Republican is out for Wilson in the
following statement:
Representatives, of party
affiliations should, in my opinion,
support Woodrow Wilson for the pres
Iidenevy, should support his fully, ac-
lively and enthusiastically; for he
possesses in high degree the quail
ties of an effective progressive leader,
Governor Wilson is thoroughly dem
ocratic in spirit. He recognizes that
all of the people are entitled to equal
opportunities and appreciates that the
development OF all Of the people is es-
sential to the attainment of American
ideals. He understands the dangers
incident to the control by few Of our
industries and finance. He sees that
true democracy and social justice are
unattainable unless this power OF the
| few be curbed. and our democracy be-
come industrial as well as political.
He can meet the demands properly
made upon present day executive, to
| be able to lead in constructive states
manship as well as to administer eff
lciently; for Wilson's character, intel
lectual power. and previous training
| fit him peculiarly to take an import
ant part in progressive legislation He
is courageous and frank; able and firm
and always open-minded- qualities in
!, ,dispensible to safe leadership.
Progressives should support Wilson,
not only in order to secure his election,
but in order to enable him after cleo
tion to carry out those progressive pol
l. icies which he has so much at heart.
His nomination ranks among the most
encouraging events in American his.
tory. Under the masterful and master.
ly leadership of Col. Bryan-the ideals
of American democracy triumphed over
the reactionaries Of their money bags;
the will of the people prevailed over
the devices of the machine.
| The democratic party has purified It
sell. and has been purged of its associa
tions, SO far as it is possible to accom-
lplish this end by the action OF a ma
tional convention But the struggle
of privilege for privilege is unendine
and omnipresent. The struggle is as
subtle as it is determined. The strug
gle will not close when Wilson is elect
ed. We may be sure that every effori
he may make as president to carry
GU the progressive policies will meet
with stubborn resistance from the pos
SCISSORS anu apostles of privilege. With
out loyal support from the progres
Lsives of the country Wilson's war up
on unjust privilege must be futile. The
progressive cause can succeed only j
1t has loyal support from the progres
sives. It can fail only il the progres
sives fail in their duty of giving t
Wilson that full support.
