Business Men Rescnl Its Attack
on (inmtl Juror-.
Prominent men of affairs, residents of St
Louis and active factors In the city's prog
ies, unite in disagreeing with the anony
mous person who was quoted In Saturday's
Globe-Democrat as having imputed motive
out of the ordinary to tho Grand Jury' or
the official or officials whose relations with
the Grand Jury are neccvsarlli- Intimate.
These prominent men, 1. felons citizens of j
St. Louis, denounce the essence and lan
guage of the interview nmph.itleally they
assert that Circuit Atton.ev Polk and tin
Grand Jury deserve tho earnest support of
the public
"This alleged interview," said George J.
Tansjy, president of the Merchants' Ex
change, "is one of the most remarkable lit
erary efforts that I ever n ad. The Globe
Democrat attributed lo the anonymous In
dividual utterances that can hive no other
tendency than to bolster up tho cause of
the boodle rs Such remarks, questioning
the acts of Mr. Polk and he Grard Jury,
and Intimating that practically nothing has
been or will be accomplished, are absolute
ly unwarranted
"Unfortunate, to use a mild word. It cer
talrly Is that any reputable resident or
stranger should obstruct the Grand Jury.
There Is not nor was there any cin'c for
criticism. In the ieguIariouj:Mi.or the In
vestigation Mr Polk- lias had trocble
enough with witnesses, and it Is not fair
that his motile, should be impugned
"Must he be criticised because rome Re
publicans were caught in the dragnet"
Must Mr Polk be criticised for showing up
a few Reuubllcans. and these Republicans
be protected? Criticism for performance
of duty II unjust criticism. It Is much to
Mr. Polk's rredlt that he did his full tlutv
under ndverse circumstances Ho was com
pelled to use nippers to extract testimony
from respectable citizens, and he was con
strained to deal with the boodlers and
thugs In various ways. Between the two
his was no easy task
"The allegitlon that political mollies ac
tuated either the Circuit Attorney or the
Grand Jury is utterly false It Is an un
warranted assertion It Is an assertion that

ranee. It Is an nssertlon that should lmpd
the honorable people of the city to lend
greater encouragement to Mr. Polk ard tho
Grand Jury.
"I know Mr. Folk, and William II. Ix-t.
foreman of the December Grand Jury, and
W. II. Dean, foreman of the February
Grand Jury, and 1 know that they nre
above partisanship. I am -iti that they
are guided by only one Impulse, the Impulse
to do their duty. I also know many of
the jurors, and I also know that they ate
men like Mr. Polk. Mr. Lee and Mr. Dean.
"Who was lespunslble for the alleged In
terview 1 do not know. Neither do I lenow
hnw, when. why. or by whom It was writ
ten. What I did notice, though, was a
superabundance of personal pronoun? Whilo
riding In a Broadway car the thought
struck me that the article was profuse with
Pa. Thcie were at least ffty-sK personal
pronouns In the Interview. I eounteel that
many, but I was in .1 hurtv, and may have
skipped rome. Perhaps u ureful count
would discover some mure I's. my's, mlne'3

relative to the coct of the Grand Jury In
vestigations As well .is I remember, the
person alleged to have been interviewed
said the Grand Jury costs about i'fi per day.
Isn't that a fortune to expend fot exposing
malpractices' Win. If the Investigation
would cost $1.C per dai the work should
not ee tse. The exposures would be cheap
at that.
"Circuit Attorney Polk and the Grand
Jury are entitled to the support of every
man In St. I.011K Thev should be encour
aged and nldi-d in their atduous work.
They deserie strong public support, be
cause they have achieved wonderful re
sults Kven If no one is convicted as a
result of Indictments, a iat amount of
good, reicrtheless, will hive been accom
plished I hope convictions will follow.
But. If they elo'i't. we shall have much
reason to praise the Grand Jury and Cir
cuit Attorney. It i a blessing to the com
munity that tho public houlil get .1 whltt
of th. malodor of munlclptl e orruptien.
As I have said, the Interviev or article in
question can have no other tendency thin
to bolster up the cause of the handlers."
Isaac W. Morton, advisory dliector of the
Simmons Hardware Conipiny, made a for
cible declaration for nubile support for the
C-an.l Jury. He said th it Mr Polk's char
1 cter Is above reproach and that Mr. I oik
is above politics or partisanship
Circuit Attorney Polk Hid Assistant Cir
cuit Attorney Hancock came Into oHlce."
Mr Morton said. " a short while before the
Grand Jurv. of which I was the foreman,
went out of existence Though they did not
examine miny witnesses 1 had an oppor
tunity of observing their method" Both of
ficials mule an excellent imp-esslon on me.
I have known Mr. Polk miny yerars He
has always been n man cf line reputation.
He has all the r,u illties for a send On ait
Attorney ability. Intelligence. fe.irle-ness.
experience and a wholesome sense of duty.
"It is nonsensical to sav that Mr. Polk
of the Inwtli'itlnn Politics was not inj"ct
politlcs. There was n'upolltlci In the origin
of the Investigation, politics was not inject
ed into it and I don't believe my politic il
f.alure, will reailt from it Mr Polk and
the Grand Jurv took the clews that .ame
to them and followe-d them to the end rc-gardle-s
of persons implicated. In doing
this thev did their duti. and I have no
doubt this was what thei wanted to do.
Polities bid nothing to do with It. If
iinv politicians were brought to public view
ill the Investigation, it was their fau't It
was bciaue" they weic in the pith of the
Grand Jury
"I have very pronounced opinions regard
ing bribery' and municipal corruption in gett
er il I should like to see guilty persons
punished JIv opinions- are very strong
about this Hoivevei. the work of tho
Grand Jury Ii creditable as affairs are.
P.vcr It no convictions follow, i-orruptloiilsls
vill be afraid to pursue their old tactles
for several years. The work of the Grand
Jury has cleared the atmosphere and con
Cltlons will be better Tor some time to
come. In this respect alone the Grand
Jury has brought about a blessing to the
community
"I cannot praise Circuit Attorney Polk
too much. He Is in every respect a man.
He Is above partisanship. His character
Is above reproach Ills moilves and acts
me above Imputation. He Is well qualitled
lor the r-spon-lble inisition he holds, I con
sider it to be the duty cf everv citizen and
even- organlzition in the city to encourage
Mr. Tolk ami the Grand Jury. The talk
about politics Is non-ense."
Former Mnjjr C. P. Walbrldge said:
