GOV. FOLK ON LAWS.
The Missouri Governor Took Occa-
sion to Stntc His Views te
the Bftftliti.
i St, Louis, Mo., May 17.—In his
S$ech before the baptist convention
Gov. Folk said: "It is appropriate
that this convention should be in Mis-
souri, which is neither northern or
48Hll1ierfi, eastern or western, but
American.
4, “Missouri has an idea that means
the enforcement of law. Laws that
are not enforced add just so much to
the support of good government as
sores do to the strength of the human
body.
Lawbreaktng has become alarming
ly common. It Is one of the greatest
dangers that confronts free govern-
ment, for when all laws are ignored
there can be no such thing as free
government. Many men obey the
laws they like, but think they have
a political liberty to disobey the laws
that are abnoxlous to them. The trust
magnate looks with abhorrence on the
pickpocket who violates the larceny
statute, but considers it entirely right
to break the laws against combinations
and monopolies. The boodler detests
the lawbreaking of the trusts, but con-
siders the law against bribery as an
Infringement on his personal liberty.
The dramshop keeper regards the law
against murder as good, but the law
against operating his dramshop on
Sunday Is, In his opinion, puritanical
and tyrannical. If each citizen were
allowed to determine for himself which
laws are good and which laws are had,
and to ignore the laws he considerd
bad, the result would he anarchy we
would have no laws at all. The onlv
safe rule Is that If the law is on the
statute books it must he observed.
There has been too much of making
laws to please the moral element and
then not enforcing them to please the
Immoral element.”
known wife, Mrs. Marie Welcker Hoch.
Hoch had been married to this woman
but a few days when she became sud-
denly ill and died. He then formed
an alliance with the sister of the dead
woman and securing the latter’s money
fled from Chicago. This woman in
quest of revenge notified the police that
Hoch had poisoned her sister and a
sarch for Hoch was begun. He was
found two weeks later In New York
and brought back to Chicago and con-
fronted by several of bis supposed
wives. During the trial expert test!
mony was offered by the state that
Hoch had poisoned the woman by ad-
ministering arsenic.
