When Govenor Folk said in his
address Thursday , "it is not
enough to IK' against violation ol
law , you must be actively and
aggressively against it , " Rev.
Ilaskins did not applaud , hut
there was a great big Amen
stamped all over his face.
How thu world is growing tc
love a man who does right foi
right's sake. One look over the
eager faces of the audience tc
which Gov. Folk spoke in Salem
Thursday was enough to convince
the most pessimistic that in the
battle for better things most met
are Americans rather than parti
sans.
The News which can sec noth
ing good in anything republican
sees fit to impugn the motives o

prosecution of the grain trust
Sufficient broad niindedness to b

THE VALUE OF AN IDEAL.
This article docs not refer to
Mr. Uryan's lecture oil ideals.
It docs not refer to the man who
proves value by the tna ic of a
marvelous voice and a handsome
orcsencc. It has nothing to do
with words.
In writing of ideals I am think-
inir of Governor Folk , as I have
been thinking of. him ever , since
his Salem address. I am think
ing of him who teaches , not by
words , but by actions ; by deeds
performed.
There is a difference between
saying a thing and dointr a thing.
There is a difference between
speaking of yirttte and courage ,
and doing a virtuous and coura
geous act.
Gov- Folk does things ; things
that have made him one of the
remarkable young men of the
nation.
The labor of his short life has
done more for civic virtue than
all the preachments ever written.
The way to stop boodling and
grafting is lo educate the public
conscience to abhor the boodler
and grafter.
The way to have courageous
right minded public oflicials is to
make the performance of a duty
the popular thing to do.
Roth of these remedies lie with
the people.
The conduct of a public official
rests in its last analysis with the
people. lie will be as mindful
of his oath of office as the public
demands. If the people are in
different , so will he likely be.
The need for reform is among
the masters , not the servant.
"Your government will be as
good as you demand it to be , and
as bad as you permit it to be
come.1'
The work of Roosevelt , Folk ,
Jerome , La Follette and oflicials
of like character has not been in
the prosecution of bloodlers , not
in the curtailing of graft. The
fact that a few boodlers of St.
Louis arc in the penitentiary is a
matter of small moment to you
and me. The value of the work
of these men consists is arousing
the public conscience , the creation
of an ideal for a better order of
things.
Gov. Folk has demonstrated
that it is popular to be square
A'ith himself and h i s people.
lis life is an inspiration and
in inspiration t o every right
hinking man in the nation.
Therein lies its value. lie has
created an ideal , or rather awak-
ned one that has been sleeping.
The value of this ideal will be
eali'/.ed and appreciated in the
official conduct of men who have
> een inspired by his example.
LMiis means far more to the na-
ion than does the presence of a
ew boodlers in the Jefferson
2ity penitentiary.
"A boodler is not a republican
lor a democrat , " said the gov
ernor , "he is just a criminal. "
To this we add , a courageous
public official , one who enforces
the law against the negro chick
en thief and the millionare who
steals a million dollar franchise ,
is neither a democrat nor a re
publican , he is just a good citi
zen.

The man who writes America's
history for this period will mist'
the most distinctive features of
its increasing civilization who
fails to trace the cause of some ol
our higher ideals and a better
national life back to the inspira
tion given us by both young men ,

Folk , Americans both-
The Salem chatitauqua hat
never been a money making con
cern , but the influence it has hat

expressed that the instittitiot
will not be permitted to die.

The FaJls Ciiy State Bank
Tales of the Town.
Hiawatha has just bean up
gainst the street fair proposi-
ion and of course got the worst
f it. A Falls City man who was
here says that the show was very
nun A great bluff at morality
was made but. to use his own
anguage , there was some "pretty
ierce ( loin's , " that were not on
he official program.
" ' think that
"You can't make me
'alls City is short on water , "
aid a certain man yesterday.
'Last night" he continued. "I
lecidcd to water a flower bed but
omul the nozzle of my lawn hose
vas stopped up. I shut off the
vater to investigate and while I
vas so doing my little son came
long and turned on the water ,
[ "here was no obstruction in the
tozx.le that time and the stream
of water struck me squarely ir.
he eye. I saw all the city water
hat I want to for awhile. "
Pedestrians passing the court
louse the other day had their at-
ention arrested by a strange
lound. It was a cross between
2 o m m a n c h e war whoop and
i clap of thunder. At first they
supposed that some particularly
, -iolent person had been confined
n the crazy cell , or that some
imorous and able bodied young
swain had just been denied a
narriage license. It afterwards
leveloped , however , that Jani-
or Ruegge had discovered a weed
n one of the tlower beds and the
inish of that weed was too sud-
len and too sad to contemplate.
" Did you ever notice ? " said a
nan on Tuesday morning "how
lard it is to get an expression of
niblic sentiment at a so called
nass meeting ? It is the desire
of certain people to push through
i certain project and so they
proceed to call a mass meeting of
the citizens. This surrounds
their plans with an atmosphere
of fairness , without in the least
endangering their interests in the
matter. The time set for the
meeting arrives and the hall is
well filled with citizens some oi
whom came because they are in
terested more or less in the sub
ject in hand and some because
they have been drawn thithet
through mere curiosity. Tht
promoters of the plan as a gener
al rule station here and then
among the crowd , men who art
more or less used to public speak'
ing and who are natural leaden
on the tloor of any gathering.
An organization is perfected
along predetermined lines am'
the discussion that follows is in
variably lead by these choset
leaders. Though there maybe
honest and well meaning met
present who are opposed to tlu
plans that an * being pushed , thej
are timid when it comes to speak
ing in public , and are afraid tc
get up and say anything. Tht
result is that the mass meetitif
hears pre-arranged motions am
adopts resolutions written per
haps before the mass meeting wai
called. Of course it gives to ani
plan or project a certain dignity
when its promoters can point t <
the fact that it has been "unami
mously endorsed by a mass meet
ing citizens. Strange , isn't it
what various forms a subterfuge
may take ? "
The water question is upper
most in the minds of Fallf City
people and the discussion there
of is drawing out argument along
other lines as well. The matter
of fire protection enters largely
into the discussion of the water
question and this fact caused a
certain business man to say to a
Tribune reporter. "This city
cannoc afford to be without ade
quate fire protection , but after
all a sufficiency of water in not a
safe guard in itself. The means
must be at hand whereby the
water may be made available
promply and effectively. Even
though the present water system
were capable of supplying a mil
lion gallons a minute under high
pressure , the fire fighting facili
ties would still be inadequate.
The town covers so much terri
tory that in case of fire in the
outlying district so much time is
bound to be lost in getting the
hose carts to it , that even an
abundance of water will not make
up the difference occasioned by
the loss of time. If we are go
ing to provide adequate fire pro
tection we must look further
than the mere matter of a water
supply. We need additional
hose carts located in different
parts of the city , and this fact
should be taken into considera
tion. "
A Kansas Joke.
In writing up the recent street
fair at Hiawatha , the editor of
the World says : "Whenever any
one gets mad the confetti throw
ers yell , Only old maids and
school teachers do that. "
It may be that this fling at the
school teachers is timely and in
order in Kansas. In Nebraska
it would be immaterial and irrel
evant and out of order. In Kan
sas , old maids and school teachers
may be one and the same thing ;
in Nebraska , they are not so
classed. In Richardson county ,
at least , there is no such thing
as an "old maid" school teacher.
Here no school ma'am partakes
of the nature of an old maid , in
the sense referred to by the
World. Here the woman who
has grown old in educational en
deavor , never loses her youth
She absorbs a fresh supply every
year from the youngsters with
whom she is associated. Gray
hairs may creep in among the
locks that were once of more
sombre hue , wrinkles may come ,
perchance , but the heart and the
soul of t h e Nebraska school
teacher never grows old. We
regret that the editor of the
World was not present at the re
cent institute held in this city.
Then he would have been better
able to distinguish between an
"old maid" and a school teacher.
But it is different in Kansas.
When one becomes angry and
docs foolish things over in Kan
sas , the street rabble likens that
one to old maids and school
teachers. Poor Kansas ! Poor
Kansas teachers !
