Hint to Southern congressman.


An Associated Press dispatch from Bos-
ton. says:
"1n the twentieth annual report Of the
Boston Chamber of Commerce, issued to-
day, 1t is pointed out that Boston has
re-cstablished herself as The SECOND port
OF the country on combined values, talk
Inc the place ofrEcw Orleans, and that
OF the aggregate gain OF se5,Tss,s09 for
Boston last year over 1904, s19.197S5O is
credited to imports and only S5,93l453 to
exports.
"'These figures" says the report .'de-
monstrate most conclusively, the burden
under which we labor IN our efforts to
compete with the differcntial freight rates
enjoyed by Southern Atlantic and Gulf
ports on grain and its products carried
sor export"
So the Southern ports do enjoy
deferential and Northern ports do have
to compete with 1t, and 1t is burden
upon Boston and other Northern ports.
But suppose the Interstate Commerce
Commission be clothed with the power to
fiN rates. and suppose the commission be
composed In the main OF Northern men,
how long will 1t be before this dfferen-
tial now engaged Ly the Southern ports
be abolished and the burden" under
which they now labor removed?
Let Southern members OF Congress
consider.

is THOUGHT MUCH GOOD WILL RESULT

The Crittenden county farmers in
stitute held an interesting and in
structlve meeting at the court house
Monday and Tuesday. The attend
ance was very large and the talks
were all instructive, practical and to
the point.
MONDAY MORNING.
The meeting was opened by Chair
man Frank, Conger, who intro
duced Prof \. 5. Goode, Of the
state experimental station, who
spoke at some length on the princi-
Piles of up grading and feeding Of
live stock. Among other points OF
interest he said: TOO many people
pay very little attention to the i'm
proving of their stock. This is best
evidenced by noticing the variety of
colors and mixed types Of stock run
ming in the pastures. He advoca-
ted the breeding of stock along GER
tain lines, viz: "If breeding for
beef use beef males if breeding cat
tie for milk production use some
dairy breed Of male and keep on us
ing the same male until the herd is
graded up.
Prof. Goode said it does not pay
to raise and feed scrub stock of any
kind and gave results Of experiments
to substantiate his argument.
Several other speakers spoke along
these lines and cattle raising was
discussed pro and con by the insti-
tute.
MONDAY AFTERNOON.
The institute was opened by the
chairman and Prof. W. H. Scherf-
fius was introduced. He dwelt
some time on the importance Of far
mer's organizations and put forth
the motto use more brains and let
up on the muscle.
He next proved to all present by
actual experiment the fact of male
aAS female life in plant life by us
ing she blossoms Of the tobacco plant.
He wentSptO details and explained
the cross breeding of tobacco and
showed how the fASpers of GHtten-
den county could crossNkeir tobacco
and obtain better grade and there
fore a better price. The GROSS
breeding takes, place while the pod
is blossoming and he told the far
mers how, by the use of a common
paper bag they could obtain the best.
seed. He advised the saving of
more seed plants and grading them
according to size, length, body, color
and weight and afterward grade the
seed.
He used in his demonstration a
tobacco seed separating machine in
vented by Prof. A. d. SLAMMED, Of
the Connecticut valley experimental
station. This machine separates the
seeds into three classes, heavy, mid
ale and light weight seeds. The
heavy and middle weights may be
used pro6tably but the light weight
are useless.
He urged the farmers to get the
boys interested in farming aud make
farm work more pleasant to the
growing lads.
A, II. Cardin gave a short talk on
selection Of tobacco seed and on the
curing of tobacco, which was very
and instructive.

the confederate home at Pcwee Val
ley bought and equipped, SIS, 600
given for the Kentucky building at
the St. Louis fair and $1,000 to
the Kentucky Children's Home So
ciety. All in all he said that more
had been done for the cause Of edu-
cation during his administration
than for the thirty years preceding,
nearly 30 cents of the 90 cents Of
the tax rate being used for that pur-
pose.
The governor then turned his at
tention to Senator McCreary's rec
ord and canvas, saying that the
senator claimed he was leading a
mighry reform army that was sweep
ing over Kentucky and that would
rid the state rule, but if the senator
would raise the curtain that was hid
ing this "army" the white aproned
hosts of saloon men and barteDders
would be revealed, who we're against
him because he had forced them to
obey the law.
He said McCreary was TOO wiley
to abuse him openly but had put
Hays out to make the charges. He
declared Hays had been derelict in
his duties as attorney gen eral and
as a member of the different boards
to which he belonged and that from
the beginning of his connection with
the administration he had been a
chronic sore head-an Ishmaelte
with his hand against everybody.
He declared that the only true
charge his traducers have made
against him is that he signed a dog
law. He brought forth a laugh by
continuing that he hardly thought
dog law could be made an issue in
race for Uuited States senator and if
it was an issue the record showed
that during Senator McCreary' 5 term
as governor he had signed two dog
laws and in this one respect he was
to admit that McCreary's had
been superior to his own.
The governor took up the railroad
rate bill, declaring it was the pio-
neer of all rate regulation laws and
was legacy from Goebel. This and
and the county unit bill, he declared,
were the Growing pieces of legisla-
ton enacted during his administra-
ton, the latter bill and his enforce
ment of the Sunday law being re-
sponsible for the hot fight being
made on him by the saloon element.
He said the bulk of the stories civ
culated against his administration
in the back rooms of IA
looms and were circulated by whiskey
men and their friends.

Gov. j. c. W. Beckham spoke &c
a representative audience at the

ternoon in the interest of his candi.
dacy for the democratic nomination
for the United States senate.
1.-THE opera house where the speaking
took placewas completely filed, large

many turned away unable to see OF
hear for the crowd. 1t is estimated
that fully 500 people were present, a
number of ladies being in the au-

sentative one of Crittenden's best
citizenship and they gave the spea-
ker the closest attention and fire.
quent applause.
At thirty minutes after one Mayor
John Blue introduced Governor
Beckham in happy and brief talk.
Among other things he called atten-
ton to the fact that the democracy
of Kentucky is in a measure in
debted to Governor Beckham for the
privilege of selecting their nominee
tor senator by primary election.
The governor was loudly cheered
when he stepped forward and ac-
knowledged the introduction. He
began by declaring his personal re-
gard for his Opponent-Senator Nc
Creary-and continued by saying
that the election of either of them to
the senate was not matter of life or
death to the state or nation
He made point that was well re-
ceived when he said that he would
rather be defeated for the senate
than have Kentucky fall into re-
publican hands next year, obviously
abiding to the attacks Senator Nc
Creary and General Hays are making
ON the present party organization in
the formers fight against him.
He said he was making this can
vass on the record made by his admin
istration. He spoke of the in
creased democratic majorities under
the present party leaders and com
pared the present state administra-
ton with Senator McCreary's when
he was governor and with that of
Coy. Bradley. He asserted the
commonwealth had $500, 600 out
standing obligations in addition to
the bonded indebtednessthen. This, he
declared, together with the bonded
indebtedness, had all been paid al
most without the people realizing it,
as in no case was there an increase
in the tax rate aud that Kentucky
was one of the four or five states of
the Union having no bonded indebt-
edness. Not only this but out Of
the same unincreased tax rate the
