cities use stone, but asphalt is seen on the principal
streets. Iu the smaller English cities stone block
is used, but Iu Liverpool and Manchester wood is
becoming popular. "Everywhere," bays Mr. Alvord,
"the main result is the same. So soon as wealth
and population Increase to the point where ltfxury
and comfort can demand it, the economical and
more durable pavements of stone and granite on
heavily traveled streets give way "to pavement of
shorter life and higher maintenance cost, but of im
mensely greater comfort to the public in the cessa
tion of noise, smoothness for traffic, and ease with
which they may be kept in condition."
There are many advantages which the smooth,
comparatively noiseless and clean pavements have.
Appearance, comfort, serviccablenoss, lack of noise,
easy maintenance and cleanliness are a few. With
these pavements four provisions are particularly
necessary. The foundation must be good, the ma
terial must be good, the construction must be well
done and the pavements must be maintained in condition.

COMBATING DISEASE.
- At the suggestion of the Board of Health the
Board or Estimates of New York City has allotted
710,000 for an Investigation of pneumonia and its
causes and for the control and prevention of pul
monary diseases generally. Several months ago
Chicago and St. Louis took action concerning tuber
culosis. Both cities propose to establish open-air
sanitariums for consumptives. And St. Louis is ar
ranging general regulations for maintaining super
vision over tuberculosis and preventing infection
as much as possible.
The announcement is made in New York, as the
Board of Estimates recommends the appropriation,
that one of the principal causes of pneumonia Is the
lack of fresh air. Most persons confine themselves
to unventilated or ill-ventilated rooms during the
cold sejuson. It is also claimed that the extremes
f temperature, the drafts in street cars and the
lack of care are among the principal causes.
It seems ro be that a more dangerous form of
pneumonia has developed in the last two or three
winters. Hundreds of patients died thirty-six,
twenty-four and even less hours after contracting
the disease, which resisted all methods of treatment.
There have been more cases than formerly. It Is
necessary that the public health departments should
take steps for learning more about the disease and
educating the public in the best practices of pro
tection. The health departments of the large cities are
now conducted in accordance with scientific rules
and customs, and it is almost certain that their work
will produce great results. Popular education Is
one of the best precautions against disease, and in
that respect tho progress made in late years Is en
couraging. .
SMOOTH, NOISELESS STREETS.
The etreet reconstruction which lias been done in
the past three years, aggregating about 100 miles of
new pavement, has brought St. Louis forward as
one of the best-paved cities in the United Stales.
And the uninterrupted pursuance of the Improve
ment work in (localities lying beyond the entire cen
tral districr, with the World's Fair In progress, at
tests the resolve to make the betterment general.
But the interest In the improvements in St. Louis
Is not restricted to the quantity of paving done, or
even to the transformation in appearances, and the
addition to the ordinary comforts of big-city life.
The Judgment which the Board of Public Improve
ments and the Municipal Assembly has shown in
selecting materials calls the attention of engineers
and munlclpalists to the actual tendency In the di
rection of an Ideal standard for street work.
St. Louis lias removed macadam from principal
driveways and built roadways- of dure ble, smooth
and virtually noiseless, u wel! is dean, pavempn!"

been laid, and theseare now considered to be the
best materials. On the downtown streets the gran
ite blocks have been relald, and a smooth surface
put on this firm foundation.
As Indicative of the correctness and importance
of the administration's policy, reference may be
made again to the report of Mr. John W. Alvord.

Mr. Alvord' articles in the July "Municipal Journal
and Engineer" furnished practical Information,
which The Republic reviewed several days ago. Hi

and pavinvr material available In this country are
of Instructive value to property owners and citizens.

THE MISSOURI ISSUE A TEST.
In Missouri a principle has been set up; a princi
ple is the issue. It Is greater than party. Ir is as
broad as government. It is of more Importance
than any issue ever presented to the people of Mis
souri. It is impossible to magnify the importance
to the people and the Slate, and other peoples ami
other States, and even the nation itself; for it lies
at the foundation of self-government. "Freedom"
and "liberty" and "independence" are as much
bound up in the issue now before us as they ever
were in any Issue confronting the American people;
while the enemy behind the Issue is as formidable :is
any ever opposing the governing power of this
country.
The principle for which Mlssourians are fighting
is as vital to other States, and to the nation; and to
some extent the issue, growing out of the assertion
of the principle, has developed elsewhere in the
Union. Nowhere, however, has It assumed the ize
and definiteness of the Missouri issue. Nowher"
has corruption so boldly arrayed itself and marched
forth so far into the open. In Missouri It openly at
tempts a seizure of the people's political processes.
Elsewhere it has operated more subtly and under
disguises. In Missouri it is righting to the death
preparing to make a "last stand"; its existence as a
system Is staked on the fight which must occur in
November. Elsewhere it is workiug out develop
ment. In Missouri it has reached a culmination. It
has reached the point where it must be seen and be
hated by the people. Nowhere else have the anti
corruption forces formed the attack upon the grc.it
public enemy.
Thus the Issue In Missouri is one for all States
where the bribery and boodle forces are operating
for the overthrow or undermining of pelf-governmentand
the citizenship of Missouri Is fighting for
the citizenship of the nation. Missouri presents a
concrete, tangible phase of an- issue as broad as the
United States. National attention centering hereon
proves the wide application of the issue. And the
two great opposing forces of the nation await the
verdict which shall be rendered in Missouri in No
vember. The Missouri Issue Is a test watched with
apprehension everywhere by the exponents of bribe
rule for special Interests; and with hope universally
by the friends of the republican form of govern
ment. Should the anti-Folk ticket nominated by the so-,
called "Republican" politicians of Missouri by any
chance prevail against the true citizenship of the
State, It would be a signal 'for the rise of corruption
everywhere. An anti-Folk victory in Missouri will
be a victory for every "gang," "ring," "machine."
"lobby" and other corrupt organizations in the
United States. It would demonstrate the superior
fighting strength of organized criminal-political alli
ances. It would show that corruptlonlsts constitute
a "third power," which can turn the party balance.
It would point the way for boodle organizations, il
lustrating how boodlere and bribers may use a party.
Boodle in Missouri has consolidated with the so
called Republican organization. Around the anti
Folk standard raised by that organization have ral
lied the disreputable elements of the State, thegans
of municipal politics, the cliques of State politics,
both "Democratic" and "Republican"' bosses, bood
lers, "pie" politicians, and the general fightiiu
forces of bad government they have formed behind
the Republican leaderships to march solidly in sup
port of the anti-Folk ticket. Their victory, under
any banner whatsoever, under any captaincies what
soever, would be the victory of boodle universally.
It would be the triumph of boodle over the best ef
forts of citizenship; the best that citizenship could
do under the most favorable circumstances In a
plain case.
Their defeafby the citizenship of Missouri will
have equally broad significance. In proportion as
the defeat of the boodle regime In Missouri is made
overwhelming for In any event the defeat must and
will be overwhelming the patriotism of the country
elsewhere will be stirred to war against the subtle
form of anarchy. Crush out the "system" in this
Commonwealth, show thnt It can be demolished and
obliterated by the people at the polls; and other
Commonwealths will dare move against It.
The preposterous arrogance of the boodle ele
ments in venturing Into the open of Missouri politics
must have a punishment from the people which will
serve as an universal warning to their ilk. Nothing
less than the whole vote of citizenship can admin
ister the deserved censure for the leaders who have
In the Interests of "party" consented to captain the
criminal hordes. The people must rout crime nud
criminal politics nothing less than a rout will an
swer the purpose.
There must be no reluctance in the people's
movement It must not falter from first to last; it
must not lag, nor proceed awkwardly or uncom
fortably to require the whip but with unanimity,
spontaneity sjnd power.

Partisanship is merged in the movement of Mis

There Is but one way In which the honest Repub
licans of the rank and file, can be true to the higher
--
SIMPLICITY.
Many thousands of people will be interested !n

Life" will shortly visit the United States for the
first time. It K though, needless to say that he
has never been here before.
Among other things-, or more properly persons,

stated, "I preach your gospel to my countrymen."
Tims we are again reminded of the simplicity of
the present executive. We inevitably recur, too, to
the simplicity of the people. However, it is con
soling to reflect that they can't be imposed on all
the time.
-
Lincoln Steffeus aptly phrases the boodle Issue
and the aim of reform: ".Make the government.
municipal and State, represent, not bribers, not cor
rupt politicians, nut corrupting business men, but
the common interests of the State the citizens and
friends, not the enemies, of the Republic." In Mis
souri the issue of the present is plainly between the
corrupt ami the clean, and the opposing classes fall
precisely into Mr. Steffens's division.

The Superintendent of Schools of St. Louis Coun
ty resented what lie deemed an attempt at bribery
by htrikinsj the caller on the left jaw. Judging by
the motive which inspired the listic net. tho per
formance might be classified among edifying object
lessons. Such demonstrations might be given daily
iu the classroom?.
Demonstrations and exposures of gambling games
and schemes might be features of the Department
of Social Economy. They would be classified in the
economy department; not to show how to be soeiabi.;
and lose money, but to be wise and keep enough to
buy vegetable!', if not meat.

Mr. Roosevelt has issued his letter of acceptance.
It reads like an ordinary politician's stump speech.
And. at that, he did seem ashamed to say much
about the trusts. If the letter has a virtue it is this
omission of extended remarks on the trust question.

of the main picture.
The Republican pie machine is in its element. A
State campaign based on an agreement with the
Butler element in St. Louis and the friends of bood

RECENT COMMENT.
Silt. FOLK AXD HIS CANDIDACY.
Grent Victory for the Tarty.
New York Evening Post.
Mr. Folk's success makes the professional politicians
look silly. He !olates every one of their maxims of
political wisdom jvt triumphs !n a way their wildest
dreams never pictured as possible. It Is Emerson's man
of "native force" rising superior to old and mouldy con
ventionalities. Courage, directness, frankness, simple
devotion to public duty these are again shown by Mr.
Folk to be the qualities which sway the world. Even In
the moment of his acclaim by the State Convention, he
rpurneJ the ordinary political humbug of such occa
sions. He had no wishy-washy words about letting by
gones be by-goncs, and no enemies to punish, and all
turning In to win a great lctory for the party.
Leaderships Compared.
Boston Herald.
Beside the record of this young David, daring with
the sling and pebbles of the law to attack alone the
great Goliath of organized and boastful Philistinism,
how faded, worthless, dishonorable appear the laurels
of a boss like Quay or I'latt, or Addlcks or Hanna, who
debauch the public conscience by lavish use of money
and by dextrous practice of all the arts of imposition
and Intrigue, making it appear that politics is a game of
selfishness, to be played for spoils, without too scrupu
lous regard for righteousness or law. We know not what
of weakness or failure this young man's future career
may declop, but should he die to-day, he would leave
to the citizens of his State and country a high. Imperish
able example of good works, valiantly accomplished by
sheer force of character, inspired by Just Ideals of pa
triotic duty.
The Folk Method.
New London (Conn.) Day.
Circuit Attorney Folk has gained a national reputa
tion for his work in breaking up the corrupt ring of pol
iticians which has held St. Louis by the throat for many
years. The disclosures he forced In court have sent
prominent officials to prison, caused others to become
fugitives from justice, and opened a way to the refor
mation of several men who havn confessed their sins
and made possible the clearing of the municipal atmos
phere. Mr. Folk was unknown until he took up his self
Imposed task, and what he has done speaks volumes for
his ability nnd his honesty. He Is of tho truest type of
American, unswerving In doing those things which he
considers his duty, self-sacrificing, consistent and con
scientious. Tho methods he has employed were ever
along the lines of Justice to all nnd favor to none, and
his work for St. Louis and his State merits the nomina
tion for the highest office In the commonwealth.
With the beginning of the fall season so
near at hand, those society people who
remained in town later than they did in
previous years so that they might enter
tain early World's F.t'ir visitors are seek
ing rcsplto from the social whirl and are
hastening to the summer resorts at the
seashore, at the lakes and In the moun

persons departing from St. Louis East.

But Joseph W. Folk has stood
"Four-square to all the winds that blew";
he has refused to bend a bit to tho bosses, to palter
with practical politics or politicians. He carried his case
direct to the people, openly declared that he wanted the
support of none of the spoilsmen of either party in the
State, and despite the tremendous efforts of organized
corruption, with all of Its subtle and sinister resources,
he wins a victory which signifies a deathblow to gang
Ism and the redemption of Missouri.
We think Joe Folk's way better than "Teddy" Roose
velt's, but It captures neither Coxes nor Lou Payns
except In a penal sense!
