Crescent Opera House when the in
stitute was held.
One of the most enjoyable features
Of the meeting was banquet given
the delegates by the Commercial
Club of Shelbyville on the evening
of the 9th. The tables were pre-
sided over by forty blue grass girls.
Several tossts were responded to and
the evening closed by the singing of
Ny Old kentucky Home. The del
egate from Crittcnden felt little
short IN the matter Of oratory, but
made 1t up by doing ample justice
to the delicate viands set before him.
Another pleasant feature of the
gathering was the drives given the
delegates over the turnpike roads
through the blue grass farms of
Shelby county.

Ollie James Victory.

We congratulate Congressman Oh
lie James on his victory for a three
cent street railway fare in the Dis
trict of Columbia. The Republi-
cans House of Representatives stood
for his amendment 10 the terminal
steet ear bill, which was carried by
vote of 159 to SO. As the Repub-
lican majority in the House is liz,
the James measure received a heavy
Republican support. That able and
resourceful Republican, Mr.. Hep
burn, of Iowa, took strong ground
in favor of the James amendment.
We believe in justice to all rail
roads aud other corporations, but a
three-cent rate in city like Wash
ipgton is ample for all ends. 1t
payS all Investments, provides for
dividends, reserve funds and i'm
provements. The Federal govern
ment should do all in its power to
make Washington a desirable place
to live in. The national metropolis
is place OF magnificent distances.
The street car comes into the daily
needs of nearly all its inhabitants.
The fare should be placed within
reach of all. Visitors in thousands
flock from all directions to Washing
ton. No man can visit the National
capital without coming away bet
ter American. Desirable is it,
therefore, that the city of Washing
ton should be made an inviting
place for visitors. The three-cent
car fare will help to that end.
But the James amendment will
have a far-reaching effect on the
country at large. 1t will show street
railway corporations that the more
they seek to serve the public, the
closer they get to the public heart,

INTERESTING SESSION
At SHELBYV|LLE
The Second Annual State Farmers lnsti-
tute Convened February 26th, 1907
At SheIhyyiIIe
TWO HUNDRED DELEGATES PRESENT,

The second annual State Farmer 5
Institute convened in Shelbyville
. Feb. 20. About two hundred dele
gates representing nearly every coun-
" of the state were present. y
more intelligent, prosperous look
ing body of men would be hard to
fnd among the representatives of
ary profession in the state. Not
the proverbial hayseed of the comic
paper, but wide awake energetic
men who are combining modern bust
ness methods with scientific agricul-
ture and are putting Kentucky where
she is and ought to be-in the front
rank as an agricultural state.
The first day was taken up prin-
cipally by enrolment of members,
opening addresses, etc. The even
ing session had some interesting ad-
dresses by joseph +. Wing and C..
G.. William, of Ohio.
At the second morning session
there was an election held to fill two
vacancies on the board of Agricul-
ture, Forestry and immigration in
the FIRST and third districts.
In discussing resolution as to
the manner of holding the election a
lively tilt occurred between Senator
Newman and Commissioner Vree-
land as to who originated the bill
creating the farmers institute.
Things looked pretty squably for
awhile and the daily papers in describ-
ing it did not do the affair justice
by any means. However, it was all
settled pleasantly with hOnors about
equally divided.
Of the eighteen counties compos-
ing the first district only five were
entitled to take part in the election
owning to the Irregularities in the
credentials Of the delegates from the
others. Those that voted were
Union, Crittenden, Livin g to n,
Christian and Trigg.
The delegate from Crittenden
was instructed to support G. N.
McGrew, of Livingston county, who
was elected on the fourth ballot over
Walker, of Christian, and Igleheart,
of Union county.
The main feature of the afternoon
session was the scoring of The Lady
Mary, the champion Jersey COW Of
Kentucky, by DR.. Scovel, director
Of the experiment station. The score
being ninety-six, which Mr.. Scovel
stated was the highest he had ever
given and pnt her in his opinion the
champion of America. There were
three other cows scored. They were

/. conHequence although the despatch in
dicates that the Japanese authoritiei
are treating the incident with calm
ness and relying upon the Government
at Washington to enforce its treaty OBJ
LEGATIONS and afford the subjects oi
Japan the necessary protection to in.
sure the safety OF their lives and
property.
Secretary Root at once communicated
the contents of the dispatch to the De-
partment OF Justice, with the request
that the Attorney General call upon the
United states District Attorney and the
United states Marshal in San Francisco
for a full report on the affair and that
they take whatever steps can be taken
TO afford protection to the japanese.
Attorney General Bonaparte at once
complied with this request.
A little later in the day the Japanese
| Ambassador Viscount Aoki. called at
| the state Department and had con-
ference with Secretary Root, giving
| him full account of the AFFAIR as 1t
, had been reported to him by the Japa-
nese Consul General in san Francisco.
The Ambassador requested of the state
Department that steps be taken to
guarantee his countrymen the fullest
measure of protection to their lives and
property Assurance was given him
that this would be done. and he was
also advised of the action which the
State Department had taken in re-
auesting an investigation through the
Department of Justice. Ambassador
Aoki left the department thoroughly
satisfied that everything would be done
to insure the fulfilment of treaty obli-
cations.
Following the interview with the
Japanese Ambassador, Secretary Root
telegraphed to Governor Gillett, who is
in San Francisco watching the devel-
opments in the strike situation, asking
him to make an inquiry into the facts
of the case at once, and If 1t is as re-
ported to see to 1t that the state OF
California does its part toward carry
ing out treaty obligations by giving the
Japanese the protection which the
United States guarantees to them. 1t
was suggested to Governor Gillett that
in view of the previous trouble he
should exercise special effort in this
case and that it was incumbent upon
MIN W see ludl poilSC
of San Francisco do their full duty in
the matter.
The situation in which the Federal
Government finds itself is somewhat
annoying, although similar situations
have arisen in times past. Under the
treaty agreement with Japan this Gov
eminent guarantees Japanese subjects
the right to reside in this country and
the full protection of the laws with re-
spect to the safety of their lives and
property. At the same time, to large
extent the Government finds itself UNI
able under our system of government
to afford police protection and must
rely for this upon the States. Just
how far the Federal Government can
go in such cases is a question which
has been a matter of discussion for
years. The only course which the Gov
eminent can pursue is through injunc-
ton. and whether or not this will obe
resorted to in this case depends upon
future developments.
