HON. JOSEPH w. FOLK.
DELIVERS FINE SPEECH.
Council OF Defense Band Renders
Music-Wm. Vivion Introduces
Z The Speaker.

Hon. Joseph w. Folk, former Gov
ernor of Missouri and late counselor
for the Interstate Commerce Com
mission at Washington City, now
candidate for United States SEN
ator from Missouri, addressed a
large assemblage in the Mexico
Court House grounds Monday night.
The Counsel of Defense Band rem
dered music and the speaker was
introduced by VIM. Vivion, chair
man of the County Democratic Gen.
trail Committee.
Men and women heard dignified
address. They hung onto his words
from first to last. Lest we forget,
the question of the war was dealt
with thoroly. The kaiser has caused
more suffering and death than any
other one man who has ever lived
in this world. America tried every
honorable means and device to keep
out of his clutches, but there was
no escape; we were drawn into the
vortex, too. Uncle Sam turned one
cheek and the kaiser struck it and
then he turned the other cheek and
he struck that, then it was Uncle
Sans turn to strike. We are now in
the war and we must win it. That
is the supreme consideration of the
hour. And we will win the war,
else all is lost, nothing else matters,
and civilization drops back to the
Middle Ages.
Mr.. Folk did not dwell on the
question of his candidacy for the
Senate. That question will be set
tied by the people of the State-and
them alone-on the sixth day of the
coming August. He declared that
the people would settle it right and
that he would be the next United
States Senator from Missouri.
He thinks he has the qualifica-
tions. One of the big problems after
the war is over will be the trans
portation question, and he has stud
led that for four years while in
Washington, that was his business.
The railways must be dealt with
and the waterways traffic-which
the railroads killed off by cut-throat
methods of competition-must be
revived. He would stand by Pres
ident Wilson and his administra-
ton in every trial-in all the great
problems that must be faced.

Jail on the charge of failing to reg
lister as German alien enemy, also
being accused of saying, ITO hell
with the Liberty Loan and the Red
Cross" is to be paroled Somebody
must volunteer as Winzer's super
visor before he can be released, and
then Winner will be required to re-
port to him once week. The order
comes from the United States Attor-

To the Memory Of Sweet Girl.
Qn memory of my friend and class


Gin memory of my friend and class
mate, Mancil McAlpin, who depart
ed this life October "a, 1879
She has gone from the srealms
OF this toilsome, sorrowful earth
And, OH how the sorrow o'erwhelms
Friends who have known her since birth
How we girls will miss her,
And many times she gladdened us
With a heart full of joy and laughter,
Our childish trouble that saddened us.
Let no trouble her sleep modest
Till the portals Of heaven unpart
To receive those who are blest
With the goodness and purity of heart.
At school there is an empty desk,
A sweet smile also has gone,
While she sleeps in peaceful rest,
Like we too shall do ere long.
We must remember "Death is but sleep
and peace"
Where this heartless word of sorrow
and pain
Shall vanish, and live life that does
not cease.
Thus be cheered, dear friends, death il
also gain.
