THE DISCOVERY OF THE BLUE
GRASS

Borne out of the east by his own
wild steed,
Out of the valleys and plains OF his
birth;
Came a wild rider with a courage
of steel,
Facing privations where plenty was
dearth.
Up the long slopes of the bleak Allie
ghany.
Trough the great defiles that nature
had hewn;
Into dominions of savage retainers,
Exploring a land that he might call
his own.
Into the rift of the Cumberland's
valley,
Threading his course along the great
Tennessee,
Crossing great ridges to Kentucky''
broad valley;
Viewing out the realm of a nation
to be.
Over the hills and apass Glover Bot
tom,
Breaking the trail past owsley Forks
Into the break of Red Licks foun
tains,
Camping at the base of the noun
tain's breast works.
Up the steep face of a mountain Of
rocks,
Up ere the sun had blessed the broad
land;
Rousing from slumber the wariest
fox,
On Robes Mountains West Pinnacle
he made his last stand
Turning his eyes to the realm Of
the skies,
Blessing his Maker for the monarch
of day,
Tt the north and the west, in the
cast of his eyes,
Boone's first view of the Blue Grass
lay.

Legislation. II is announced that
the leaders are greatly pleased with
the Presidents reduction In the
number OF his demands. This is ma
tural, since they are against the whole
lot. but have promised TO put them
thru.
So now, we are starting over again,
and the recent conferences between
Taft and the leaders have resulted In
the latter's moving the reduced list
Of bills forward at a slightly faster
rate than before. How far viii they
go? Heaven knows. but the danger
is that there will be a good deal more
pairing down before {. & A. let any
thing get by them.
Also II is beginning to be limited
around here that the Congressmen
who are secretly against 1.-THE Presi-
dents programme are beginning 10

ing a cat than swinging II by the
tail So they are to try the better
method. This is very easy. You be-
come strong for the measure In ques-
ton The principle is one that has
long appealed to you, you declare
only the present bill is not exactly
right. So you move a little amend
ment. That 10 carried. II you happen
10 be a good friend OF Mr.. Cannon's.
And then, with the amendment at
tached, you help push the bill thru,
and when the session closes refer
proudly to your record OF work for
the people Only there is one thing
you want TO be careful about. That
amendment must contain some proW-
sion which will result in the Supreme
Court throwing the law out.
See the advantage of this scheme.
You don't have to fight any one. You
get the confidence of the dear peo-
pie, by your work Gin their interest"
You avoid injurlng the party for the
men with votes think you are doing
your best, and the men with money
know you are (only they mean diff
ferent things) And then, the law is
declared unconstitutional, as you in
tended, you lift up your voice
and wall loudly, and talk about the
danger of having a non-elective judi
ciary. And when some one starts an
other bill to accomplish the same
purpose, you sadly declare that while
this purpose has long been one Of the
ambition of your life you find that
1t is hopeless to attempt to realize

Well, the presidents measures are

Problem No. ~

A drover sold some oxen at SIS,
COWS at s17, and sheep at $3.50 per
head and received $749 for the lot.
There we're twice as many cows as
oxen. and three times as many sheep
as COWS. How many were there OF
each?
Answer to Problem No. 10.
Since S512 equals four times the
preceding payment, then the preced-
ing payments would equal IA OF
s512 which equals $12S, which is four
times the preceding payment, hence
IA of SIPS equals $S2, another pre-
ceding payment, IA Of $S2 equals IS,
another payment, which equals 4
times the preceding payment, IS d.
vided by equals 81 first payment,

LOBBY AT FRANKFORT

to seduoe, the members of the legis-
lature and give the lobbyist a good
working majority. Sometimes, when
the press is vigilant, and the people
are interested, the scheme fails to
work, but it has worked this year,
in Kentucky. We do not know which
of these methods have been used
most, but the lobbyist is in charge.
Somehow he has got what he went
after. And methods like these are
common in the work of Hobbies else
where You can draw your own con-
clusion.
The lobbyist is a Smooth guy"
He will not do what he calls raw"
work If he can help it, That is, he
prefers to have the dear people be-
licve that something else is really
the cause of the way things are
going. But when he has 10, he will
do anything he can, and there have
been cases Of lobbyists rushing up 10
a man on the floor of a state leg
islative assembly, and waving a roll
of bills in his face. That was very
raw" but it worked. The lobbyist
doesn't want any scandal, but he is
there to win.
And so, often enough, IL Is only
% the skilled observer that It is
plain that the lobby is running things.
/ The lobbyist almost always has more
votes than are needed, and so he
will usually let a few of his men
vote the other way IN cases where II
will do them the most good with
their constituents. This makes It
seem as IL they wece their own
masters-they vote against the lobby
sometimes. Sure-when the lobby
won't be hurt by it. But If it comes
to a pincl, those saUe fellows ,urn
right over. That very thing was
sceL in Frankfort, this very year.
it is sail. You cannot be sure that
a MAJ = against tie lobby just be-
cause he -):a,Limec votes against Il.
And then, the Lobby often pre-
vents a vote at all, and thus saves
tho reputation of the Legislators.
A committee will fail to report the
bill, and no vote is needed TO sup
press It. Or it will be held till to-
ward the end of the session, and
then overlooked in the final rush.
The legislator will go home and ex-
. plain that is always the case with
many important bills-they simply die
not have tine TO get them thru. Sure.
But you can bet anything you happen
to have mandy, that nothing the lobby
was working for got left that way.
The lobby is non-partlsan 1t is able
to work thru both parties This was
proved in the T. $. Senate, WHOM on
body in Cleveland's administration,
, the Democrats getting control of that
body in Cleveland's administration
Sen. German of Maryland came for
ward and took up exactly the same
position on all important laws that
the Republican lobby men had taken
before. SO far as the lobbyists are
concerned the party emblem is a
blind to throw in the face of the
people, so that they will not be able
to see the dirty work going on.
What are we going to do about it?
Well there are several things, but
the most important is to remember
that a man is worth what he does, anC
not what chance he had. And when
man is elected to the legislature
and goes down there and betrays his
people, and comes back with a nice
fat job, treat him like the traitor he
was, and not like the Representative
of the people he was elected TO be.

Governor Brady appears to be
his party's choice for the nomin
alton for governor of Idaho, and
if he receives the nomination,
will sweep the State this fall, for
the people are satisfied with his
clean and business like admins
tration. He is a man that dares
and does, as has been shown by
the way he has carried out his
pledges to the people, and we do
not believe the voters of Idaho
will put any new man at the
head of the state government as
long as Governor Brady has con-
sented to accept the Office for
another term, as we believe the
people of Idaho are content to
let we'll enough alone.

The management of the Idaho
Inter Mountain State Fair of this
city have plans already under
way for the giving of a Fair in
October which will eclipse all
former efforts. Your co-opera-
tion in making the Fair of 1909 a
pronounced success is highly ap-
preciated by the management
and your earnest cooperation is
again solicited to the end that
the year 1910 may see an exposi-
ton of our States resources at
the State Fair grounds that will
meet the expectations of every
citizen of the State. Since last
fall number of county organic
ati0ns have been perfected which
propose to hold local fairs with
a view of assembling exhibits to
forward to the State Fair later,
and we have the assurances that
nearly every county in the state
will be represented. The Asso-
citation and it's officers will make
every effort to make your CO.
operation profitable and inter
esting. 1t has been conceded
that the fair of 1909 was one of
the best advertising mediums the
state has ever had, and it is
matter of concern to every COM
munity in the state that it be
represented at this exposition.
No resource of the state will be
overlooked and you are urged to
invite your friends and neigh
bors to make the state fair their
mecca this fall. The general
policy will be the same as last
year and the main features of
the fair will be the same as last
year both educational and enter
tanning.
Trusting we may have your
support in bringing the fair of
1910 to high water mark, re-
main, Very truly yours,
