Missouri Has Been ShownEx-Governor Folk of Missouri, in an address delivered in Chicago a few evenings ago, said:“So far from injuring Missouri, the reign of law has helped, for during the last four years immigration to the state has increased 25 per cent more than in any other like period; lands have advanced in value 15 per cent; manufacturing and agricultural production have made unprecedented strides; every town, city and county in the state is increasing in population and wealth.“A commonwealth can have no better reputation than to be known as a state wherein the people rule through their laws, and where corruption is not countenanced.” The speaker said that there were no “necessary evils” in government. He said that those who profited by abuses usually were the loudest in the denunciation of those who pointed out abuses.
