To Support This View They

Record

Washington, May lbs Joseph W.
Folk, chief counsel for the interstate
commerce commission trying to repeat
in Washington with the New Haven rail-
road as his victim, the success which in
1904 won him the governorship OF Mis-
souri,? This is the question that is be-
ing discussed on the eve of Mr.. Mellen's
going on the stand to tell the inside
story Of the New Haven in politics.
Folks record is such that it is inter
esting and maybe extremely significant
Just at this time In 1900 he became
circuit attorney of st. Louis, a position
which he held till 1904. During that
time he was hot on the trail of doodle"
and graft" which in those days were
the principal themes of muck rakers and
politicians. Folk was instrumental in
placing on the statute books of Missouri
lobby registration law and he broke
up, for a time at least, an organization
of grafters in the assembly which had
regular prices for legislation. The street
railway company was one OF Mr.. Folks
principal enemies, and in his prosecution
he was instrumental in bringing many
well known and wealthy citizens into
unexpected disrepute
Everybody here who has been follow
ing Folks career is convinced that. hav-
ing won victory over the United States
attorney general, he is now prepared to
go the limit with entire carclessness
as to the results. 1t has been Folks
public policy that facts about public
matters should be made public and that
If in making them public somebody is
damaged, it is that persons fault. "Joe
Folk isn't much of a lawyer" said a
man yesterday, who has followed his ca
reer carefully for some time, "but he
isn't afraid Of anybody and he does like
to get hold of proposition of this kind.
He hasn't had much to do since 1909
when he left the governorship of Mis-
souri,, except to nurse his presidential
boom. This New Haven investigation
will help his presidential boom quite a

cording to the figures from the reports
of the census, the average yield of corn

states was 45 bushels; in the middle At

where the farmers shifted from farm
to farm more than in the North and
West, the average yield of corn per acre
was is bushels; in the east south CEN
trail states, 10 bushels; and in the west
south central, 10 bushels. These figures
seem to show that in those sections
where farmers generally have operated
the same farms for periods of five years
and over. the yield OF corn is consider
ably larger than in the sections where
the period of occupancy is more UNI
stable, or for shorter periods of time.
Result of Frequent Change
This frequency of moving from farm
to farm, or instability of occupancy,
very likely forms one of the chief causes
for the decline of rural prosperity, or is
hindrance to greater progress. FIRE.
quency of removal of farmers results
in general shiftlessness; the roads and
bridges are generally in poor condition
because the farmers, moving at frequent
periods, are not particularly interested
in their upkeep. Farm buildings Of such
farms are not usually kept in good re-
pair, as the farmer who is about to move
will leave the repairs for the next tenant
to make. The same reasons will apply
for lack of interest by the "unsta BILE"
farmer in the schools churches and gen
eral welfare of the community. They
move frequently: they do not remain on
a farm long enough to get the best re-
suits from it, consequently they are
usually in poor financial condition.

This Was When Ex-Lieu-

New York, May le.--District Attorney
Whitman yesterday completed his case
against Charles Becker by placing on the
witness stand two men whom he con-
sidered his star witnesses, Charles B.
Pitt, jr., the former policeman's press
agent, and James Marshall, a negro
youth, who said he saw Becker and Jack
Rose talking at the Harlem conference.
Whitman questioned both men regard
ing the alleged conference of Becker with
Rose, Webber and others, which the
court of appeals referred to as the "heart
of the conspiracy" against Rosenthal.
Steinert and White, former members
of the "strong arm" squad, are also I'M
der subpoena by the prosecution.
Pitt testified for the defense at Beck
er's first trial and his appearance now
Tor the state was a surprise.
With crushing force, all the more con-
vincing by the fact that the witness was
seemingly reluctant, Pitt carried the
prosecutions case to its climax.
AS the final assault Pitt swore that

and exclaimed:

piece of testimony was the order issued
to Pitt by Becker on the afternoon OF
July Is, 1912, just before the murder,
according to the informer;
