For Civic Wrongs Says Former Mis
souri Governor Should Strive
For More Manhood Not
More Money.
At the opera house last night Ex
Gov. Folk of Missouri had a line audi
ence for his great lecture on "The
Kr.'l nf PniHelnnffM Thn lpcllll-c w:it
given under the (auspices of J he Calio
High, bchool, and representatives pf
tho school, with Superintendent Oleic
tlonen were in charge. Several
beautiful musical selections were giv
en by tho High School chorus, under
the direction of Mrs. Miller, the super
visor of music. The orator of tho
evenin.-; was Introduced by Mayor
Parsons in the following remarks:
"It certainly is a pleasure to liste.'i
to the ringing of the High School pu
pils as it has just been rendered. It
reflects great credit both upon the
board of education in providing for
music in the public schools and upon
the teacher who has charge of this
department of the school work. Be
ing friendly to music myself, I feel
glad to have this opportunity of ex
pressing my appreciation of this
lass of education and trust the board
will always be as fortunate as it is
now in the selection of a supervisor
of music.
'The public schools of the city
liave quietly but steadily been push
ing their way to the front, until now
they hold a position almost second tJ
none in the Slate of Illinois", provid
ing, a they do, well trained teachers
and a broad and practical course of
study. The people -of the city feel
proud of the efforts of the superiu
tendent of public schools, together
with his efficient corps of teacher..
Not. only have they provided a flue
course ct study for practical uso,
lint during the past few years they
have furnished annually a course of
entertainments that bring the stu
dents and the public together Biid
each year they have been enabled (by
their careful attention to the wlshos
of the people and the talent that is
offered for this kind of work), to
bring to Cairo a class of entertain
ments that stand high in the various
lines that are presented to us. Only
last week in tho Assembly Room ot
the High School there was given an
entertainment, of music and elocution
to a vast audience an evening's en
tertainment that could hardly be cx::
celled anywhere. Two years ago the
ICalro public was entertained by no
less a public character than Honor
able Champ Clark of Missouri, and
lecturers of the highest type have
been secured repeatedly through the
influence of the public schools.
"It may bo simply an Incident, that
whenever a political orator has 1eeii
Invited to come to Cairo by the school
authorities he has been selected from
the Democratic, ranks; I do not Intend
tills to mean that there are no ora
tors In the ranks of any other party,
but call your attention to this fact, as
it is evidence that after all, the Dem
ocratic party furnishes at least as
good sMakers as any other political
party in the country, and the little
differences that exist between the
various parties are of small moment
when compared with the greater re
sults that are obtained throught th?
educational Influences of these great
men.
"Tonight, my friends, the represen
tatives of, our public schools have the
privilege of presenting to you. one of
the country's greatest men a man of
national character and of whom it is
said "Well done". I have the pleas
ure and high honor of introducing U
you the orator of the evening, who
will address you uon the subject of
"The Era of Conscience", the Honor
able Joseph W. Folk, of Missouri."
Ex-Gov. Folk occupied a little over
an hour In delivering "his address.
Following are brief extracts which
represent the underlying sentiment of
the whole:
"While every wrong inbusiness
should be prosecuted, care of course
should be take not to destroy the
good with the bad. I do not mea.i
caution in punishing wrong, but can.
lest in striking blindly at wrong doing
the Innocent be injured witn tne gun
v ThP man who would expose an-
punish no wrorg-doing is an extermlst
... won s the man who would pull
down the good in order the easier to
get at the bad. It takes no judgment
to be an extremist, but to weigh
things, and to determine the bad and
the good, require thought and care.
Ixt us assail not men, but the evil
men do: not business, but the evil
doers in business. The only way to
atop evil, either public or private. Is
to turn on the light, and let the reo-
REPUBLICANS WIN OUT
In Election For State Officers Inter
est Centered in Liquor Question
However Prohis Highly
Pleased.
Detroit,. Mich., April 5. With prac
tically all interest in today's election
centered, in. the twenty-seven coun
ties of the state where the abolition
of the liquor traffic was balloted up
on, indications are early tonight that
the republican state ticket has re
ceived a majority of upwards of seventy-five
thousand.
Early returns from the counties
which voted on the liquor question
placed Emmet, Eaton and Sanilac iti
the "dry" column, while in Huron and
Ottawa the "wets" were victorious.
The defeat of prohibition in Ottawa
by a heavy majoiity was considered
a decisive "wet" victory, as the anti
saloo nleague had made a strenuous
campaign In this county.
"We have broken the backbone of
the liquor traffic In Michigan" de
clared Superintendent George W.
Morrow of the Michigan Anti Saloon
league at midnight tonight.
Definite Returns.
Definite returns at that time showed
that 20 counties which voted on the
question of abolishing the sale or
manufacture of liquor, 19 hail gtaie
dry" and seven bad gone "wet", and
indications were that the remaining
county, Jackson, had voted for prohi
bition by 'M votes.
Before today's election eleven of
the 83 counties in the stale were
dry". Following are today's u-
suits:
Dry Alcona, Allegan, Benzie,
Branch, Calhoun, Clare, Eaton, Em
met, Gennessee, Hillsdale, loiita,
Iosco. Isabella, Kalkaska, Livltigtone,

"On the first of April for six yo;,i:-,

results were even more satisfactory
than the prospect. The present pi Ice

large profits for the producer am

better wages than ever before. WorU
is plentiful except for six weeks in

"The Ialwir statistics for tho last
six years show more days for work,
more wages earned, fewer disputes
at the mines and more men employed.
