National Reformers Seeking Office

By W. A. C.

GOVERNOR FOLK, of Missouri, who has gained notoriety through his enforcement of the State Sunday law, and Judge Wallace, of Kansas City, Mo., who, up to the present time—Feb. 17, 1908—in his campaign against Sunday labor, has caused two thousand indictments for alleged violations of the Sunday law since Sept. 21, 1907, are both Presbyterians, and are both, it seems, seeking higher positions in official life. Governor Folk, we are informed, aspires to become a United States Senator, and Judge Wallace, only the other day, announced his candidacy for nomination for governor of Missouri.

Thus men permeated with National Reform views are seeking positions in State and nation whereby they can carry out and force upon the people their church-and-state ideas, and, above all, compel the people to keep Sunday.
