Of Liberty at., City, f ft 1 BE SEES THE DAWN GOVERNOR FOLK SAYS BETTER . DAYS ARE NEAR Next Few Years Will Solve Indus trial Problems and Will Bring to an End the Evil Reign of Special Priv ileges and Monopoly Kansas City, Nov. 16. Governor Joseph W. Folk of Missouri was guest of honor at the monthly dinner here tonight of the Knife and Fork club. Governor Folk, in the course of his speech, said: "The next few years will be dis tinguished as the time in which indus trial problems are settled, the reign of special privileges brought to an end, the recognition of the doctrine of equal rights fixed in national poli cies and in the conscience of mankind. We are in the midst of the most dra matic period of American history, the period in which the people's rights are to be defined and observed as they never have been before. The man who shares in these activities in any capacity, no matter how hum ble, is taking part in the tremendous moral upheavals now going on. "Will it last? is the question. Will not the people forget and allow things to continue in the same old way? I answer no. Revolutions never co backward, and this is a revolution that has been wrought in the con science of men. We are but in the beginning of the movement for higher ideals in our political' life which will gather strength as the years go by. The elections of last week were but the taking of the first breastworks of the opposition. The fight will go on with unceasing vigor and the time will never come when the people can rest on their arms in idleness." The present movement, Governor Folk said, did not mean the destruc tion of political parties, but rather the putting of the organization of political parties on a higher plane.

Mutual President Will Struggle Along On $75,000 a Year New York, Nov. 15. At a special meeting of the board of trustees of the Mutual Life Insurance company in this city, at which a preliminary re port of the recently appointed inves tigating committee was made, Rich ard A. McCurdy made a stir by an nouncing that at his own request his salary had been cut in half from $150,000 to $75,000 a year. This action was taken at the meeting of the finance committee, and Mr. McCurdy said it was the first step in reducing the expenses of the company. The sal aries of the other executive officers of the company have already been re duced, the saving amounting in all to between $145,000 and $150,000 per an num. Mr. McCurdy's statement to the di rectors preceded the submislson of the investigating committee's first report. This committee, which was named to examine Into the affairs of the company, made a significant re quest for a broadening of Its powers and recommended changes in practices by the company "which on their very face are loose, unsound and open to criticism." The commit tec recommended that pending its further Inquiry the execu tive otflcers adopt the Immediate policy of retrenchment. The prelimi nary report was adopted, together with tho resolution Increasing the powers of Iho committee In continu ing Its Investigation. The director ordered thut full publicity be given to the report h well un to the atuteineiit tuado by Piealdent .McCurdy. Pltait Mention THE INDEPENDENT Whin Writing to Advirtlicrt. a ' v.'i 'h?

J The whole country is shocked at the disclosures of money Drib cry in many of our cities. But what will the people say when they learn that railroad pass bribery is' even a greater evil than bribery with money? Money bribery in St. Louis, in Milwaukee, in Philadelphia and many other cities where in vestigations have been made, is insignificant compared to rail road pass bribery in most of the states in the country. Few men comparatively can be bribed with money, but many can be bribed with free railroad passes. Nearly every state has its free pass organization. ' This organization is a sort of police force for the railroads. It is not only a state organization, but subordinate organizations are maintained in the counties, cities and even in the precincts and wards. This organized force is a political power absolutely supreme. It dictates nominations of candidates for all offices. It sets up weak and pliant tools and pulls down strong and independent men. ' It makes and unmakes men. It builds up or destroys cities and private business enterprise at will. In other words it is the real master of destiny, both politi cal and commercial. - THAT THIS BRIBERY SYSTEM MUST FIRST BE DESTROYED BEFORE WE CAN GET BACK REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT AGAIN AND GET WHOLESOME LEGISLATION, IS THE CONTEN TION OF THE AUTHOR IN THIS BOOK. It is the first book ever written upon the subject and everybody will want to read it. Hundreds of people have wanted the book before it was off the press. Ex-Oovernor Larrabee, of Iowa, ordered ten books weeks before it was printed and many others have done the same. Every man in office and every aspirant for office should read this book. Every student of political economy should read it. Every taxpayer should read it. The book is just from the press, and is now ready for delivery THE PRICE OF THE BOOK IS $1,00 BY MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID TO NEW OR OLD SUBSCRIBERS TO THE INDEPENDENT.
