EARTH GOOD FOR ONLY

Moline, 111. That the earth will be

Mars was the prophecy made by Dr.
Hvanto Arrehcnius of Stockholm, in
a lecture last night at Augustana col
lege. Dr. Arrehcnius, who won the Noble
prize in chemistry in 1 03 because of
his electrolytic dis-association the
ory, is regarded as the world's great
est cosmogonist.
Dr. Arrehcnius declared that two
causes are operating to bring about
the extinction of life on the earth
Loss In heat generated by the sun is
one of the dangers that threaten it.
.while diminution of carbonic acid in
the atmosphere is the other menace.
1 However, Dr. Arrehcnius explained
that the sun will probably continue to
! give out the same amount of heat for
at least a billion more years. The ex
haustion of carbonic add was held
. forth as the more Imminent catastro
phe. Dr. Arrehcnius figured that at
the present rate with which it is er
terlng into other chemical combina
tions it will cease to i xist in the at
mosphere in sufficient quantities to
sustain vegetable life In 10,00 year".

EX-HI. FOLK
Prominent Missourian Enter4
tains Large Audience at
IVbthodist Church
PLEADS FOR ACTIVITY
AGAINST LAWLESS ELEMENT
Subject of Address Was "The Era of
Conscience" Denounces Graft and
Corruption in Business and Politic
Hearers Impressed With Speech.
Expounding the doctrine of clean
government and civic righteousness,
ex-Governor Joseph W. Folk of Mis
souri, one of the men mentioned moat
prominently as the democratic candi
date for president spoke to a large
audience at the Methodist church dast
evening as the last number on the-
Lyceum course in this city. Mr.
Folk's subject was "The Era of Con
science," and his treatment consisted
of a strong denunciation of graft and
corruption in business and politics and
a plea for an aggressive determined
fight against these pernicious prac
tices.
"Fight" was the keynote of his ad
dress and he knew the meaning and
value of the word. He declared his
belief In the honesty of the majority
of the citizens but he deplored the
fact that this honesty is only passive
and is helpless when pitted against
the unremitting activity of the law
less element. It was the patriotism of
peace that he pleaded for, the spirit
which will fight to maintain the lib
erty and rights which were won In
carnal battle. 4
Governor Folk has a strong, clean
face and delivers his message with a
tense earnestness that can not be
mistagen and which can not fall to
impress 1.1s hearers. He was intro--
Trtuced to his audience last night by
President Ran p. Smythe of the Pen
dleton Commercial association who
paid a strong tribute to the man who
has accomplished so much for clean
government and, when he was pre
sented as "Missouri's candidate for
president" he was greeted with hearty
1 applause.
1
1 On the platform with the distin
guished guest, were President Smythe,
Judge Stephen A. Lowell and Will M.
Peterson.
Responding to the speech of intro
duction, Covernor Folk launched im
mediately upon his subject. The fol
lowing is a part of his address.
What Folk Said.
There has been a great awakenlng
on the ubject of individual respon
sibility for the affairs of city, state
and nation within the last Tew years
The public conscience has been ar
oused against evils and things are not.
tolerated now that a few years ago
were submitted to in silence. Will
the movement toward higher ideals
go on? Will not the people soon for
get? Have not the .people already
forgotten, and will not things be al
lowed to go on In the same old way
as they were before the awakening
of the people? These questions are
being asked all over the country to
day. A Revolution In Conscience,
Reforms sometimes die, but revolu
tions never go backward, and a revo
jlutlon has been wrought in the con
i science of men. The awakening Is
1 merely the determination to have the
1 government of city, state and nation
! represent the public interest and not
i special privilege. In the battle
j against privileges some fights must
j be lost. With each fight bst we
I should not lose courage, but fight all
: the harder; with each fight won we
should not become apathetic, and
! think all has been won. If the issue
could be represented squarely between
public rights and special privilege
everywhere there would be no doubt
1 as to tho outcome. For the majority
j of the people here and everywhere
jwill do right when they know right.
1 no representatives ot privilege am
too shrewd to permit a plain issue
between public rights and special
privilege to ge before the people. They
adroitly manage to complicate the
main Issue with other questions so as
to bewilder men of even the best In
tentions. By confusing the Issue the
representatives of privilege divide the
1 forces in opposition. Those who ob
tject to reform do not usually put
I their protest upon the true ground,
I but they seek some other pretext.
I They ask why is not this or that
done? If one examines the source
of a complaint like this he will usu
ally find that It is not because of a
desire that reform be made more
thorough, but to discredit what has
been done. If one sincerely desires
I progress In the way ot better things,.
I instead 'f criticism he will give his
j help to the accomplishment of the
I things wished for. Reform always
progresses by degrees everything can
not be done in a day.
Exposure cces-ury.
One of the obstacles to the pro
gress of righteousness everywhere Is
the mistaken view that It injures a
1 i;y or m lie to 1'pwecit.- wrong do-
