AT a recent meeting of the
Board of Trustees of Kentucky
State University Chief Justice
Henry S. Barker, of the Court of
Appeals, formally accepted the
Presidency of the University, to
take effect after his term ex-
pireS on the Appellate Bench,
which will be January / next.
Judge Barker said that he had
never felt any doubt about &C
cepting the Presidency of the Uni
versity. The only reason he had
not previously announced his ac-
ceptance was that it had been
understood with the Board of
Trustees when ne was elected that
he should announce his acceptance
at the present June meeting of the
board.
Judge Barker said he was tired
of the work on the bench and at
the bar and was looking forward
with much pleasure to settle
down as a school teacher"

MUD SINGING.
Seventh District Political Fight
Has Reached This Stage.

The congressional fight in the
Seventh District has reached the
card-writing stage and both Con-
gresham j. Campbell Cantrill and
President Clarence LeBus, of the
Burley Tobacco Society, are out
in salty statements addressed to
the voters of the district.
Congressman Cantrill, who is
seeking reelection, has thrown
down the gauntlet to the Burley
Tobacco Society, which he charges
has recently brought out in oppo-
sition to him State Senator Claude
Nj. Thomas, of Paris, on account
of his position concerning the
Burley pool for 1910.
Mr.. Cantrill makes an attack on
Clarence LeBus, President of the
Burley Society, in which he charg-
es that Mr.. LeBus, Republican,
is attempting to control the Demo-
cratic primary for Congress in the
Seventh district through his office
as head of the Burley Society.
Il am making this race upon
the national platform of the Demo-
cratic party. My opponent" seems
to be running upon a platform
outlined for him by the Republic
an President of the Burley So
ciety."
President LeBus, in a lengthy
card, retorts in kind and proposes
to fight to the finish. He alleges
that Congressman Cantrill has
shown his antagonism to the Bur.
ley tobacco pool and given aid to
the enemy. He says:
IF the people want to supper,
Mr.. Cantrill's programme and fol,
low such leadership, they now
have an opportunity to do it, but
it only means the destruction OF
our society, and the turning over
of all these years of labor to oul
ancient enemy, the Trust"

CONGRESSIONAL TICKET
State Chairman Prewitt Gives
Advice to Party Leaders.

Chairman Henry r. Prewitt, of
the Democratic State Central
and Executive Committee, i'll the
course of an interview at Lexing-
ton recently, said:
"The outlook for Democratic
success in the Congressional cleo
tions next fall and in the election
for State officers a year later is
very encouraging. There is, how
ever, one thing that l would like
to say to the Democrats of Ken
lucky at this time. and that is let
US get successfully through these
congressional races before we be-
gin to talk about State offices.
There will be ample time for an
nouncements for State offices
when we are through with the
election next November.
The election of Congressman
this fall is very important, and l
think it would be good policy for
the Democrats of the State to
bend all their energies this year
to these elections. We will have
a whole year to nominate candi-
dates for State offices and make
the campaign for their election.
Surely this is plenty of time and l
think the Democrats had better
let the State offices alone now and
bend all their energies to electing
Congressman"

City Wins.

Circuit Judge J. NJ. Benton, OF
Winchester, KY, after hearing
the motion of E. L. Refs, of this
city, to dissolve restraining order
issued in the suit of City of Mt.
Sterling VS.. E. Il. Refs, (notice OF
the institution of which suit ap-
peared in our last issue) rendered
an opinion overriding the motion
to dissolve.
The suit grew out of an effort
upon the part of Mr.. Refs to re-
pair, without a permit, his frame
business house on South Mays
vile St., recently damaged by an
incendiary fire. The opinion of
Judge Benton is based upon the
idea that the City authorities have
and should have wide discretion
in the matter of granting or re-
fusing permits and that the ordi-
nance defining a certain section
wherein no frame buildings shall
be Ell ected, is police regulation
and necessary for the proper pro-
lection of surrounding property.

JAMES B. MCCRfARY
Not An Announced Candidate, But
viii Accept Nomination.

Former United States Senator
James B. McCreary has made a
formal announcement of his posi-
ton with regard to being candi-
date for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor. He dictated
the following statement, which he
said clearly sets forth his attitude
in the matter:
Many Democrats have in per-
son and by letter said to me that l
should be the Democratic candi-
date for Governor and if nominal
ed / would have the unanimous
support of the Democratic party.
Of course, / am very grateful for
this evidence of confidence. / did
not expect when my term expired
in the United States Senate to be
candidate again, but the solicita-
ton of my friends and the kind
editorials in a great many news
papers induced me to say to some
of my friends who wrote me
urgent letters that | would take
the subject of my candidacy for
Governor under consideration. 1t
is probably about one year before
a State Democratic candidate will
be nominated. Yet l believe the
time has arrived for me to give an
answer in some form to my broth
err Democrats who have hon.
ored me.
II believe the success of the
Democratic party in the next State
election should be paramount to
individual success and / will do
all in my power to have a State
ticket nominated of Democrats
who it is believed will be support
ed by the whole Democratic party
and l will cheerfully support the
nominees and make speeches for
them. The party to which l have
belonged all my life has honored
me so often that | believe it is en-
titled to my services, whenever
they are needed or demanded.
believe any Democrat who is nomi-
mated fairly by the State Demo
cratic convention should accept,
and if 1 am honored bv being
nominated as the Democratic can
didate for Governor | will accept"

ADVERTISING RATES
In Newspapers The Cheapest
Thing the Merchants Buy.

IL 10 uOJ Ouch UndC we lnf1lct
upon our readers details as to the
business or financial affairs of The
Herald, but we ask them, particu-
iarly those who use the advertising
columns of The Heard, to bear
with US for a short time. that they
may understand something of the
increase in the expense of the
publication of the paper and APP
preciate the necessity for an in
crease in the advertising rates.
During the past five years there
has been an increase in every de-
partmeDt of the newspaper.
amounting in some cases to nearly
one hundred per cent. The price
of paper and of material-such as
linotype and stereotype metal,
matriX, paper, MANILA paper for
wrappers, has advanced steadily.
The price of labor has advanced
in every department. The five
year contract which we had with
the Blue Grass Typographical
Union expired this year, and VIC
were, therefore, obliged to make a
new contract, under the terms of
which the regular wages paid in
the composing room were increas-
ed over eleven per cent. and the
charge for overtime increased
nearly fifty per cent.
The salaries paid in the news
and business departments of The
Herald have increased in the last
five years over 100 per cent.
When we first became connected
with The Herald the total weekly
pay roll for every department of
The Herald was less than the pay
roll now for the new departments;
less than half of the pay roll for
the business departments; scarcely
half of the payroll for the COM
posing room. In other words,
the weekly pay roll of the Herald
is now over five times as much as
its pay roll then.
The monthly expenses for cor
respondents, telegraph and tele-
phone, in addition to the Associat-
ed Press service, is now equal to
what the pay roll was in 1897.
Each year such expenses have in
creased, and it is inevitable that
as the paper grows they should
increase.
There are but two sources from
which an honest newspaper can re.
ceive an income-from circulation
and from advertising. 1t must re-
ceive from the advertising fair re.
turns to Justify its publication and
permit it to be independent.
In view of these facts and tina,
we have done everything possible
to secure such a circulation as tc
make the advertising column:
most valuable, have stinted no ex.
pense to give the advertisers the
best service, having but recently
installed in the Herald office new
type and fixtures which cost over
three thousand dollars, we be-
lieve every reasonable advertiser
will agree that it is not only justi
fable but necessary to increase the
advertising rates, increasing then
as we do to a very small extent.
The above article from the Lex
ington Herald contains nothing
but facts and the same thing i.
more or less true of every news
paper published.

as Rhode Island Reds. When this
breed began to- attract notice the re.
gion was visited by scores of buyers,
who picked up every decent colored
bird at fancy prices. putting thousands
of dollars into the hands of the farm

market prices.
If fifty farmers in a neighborhood
would unite on almost any poultry
breed there would be no difficulty in
finding a market. A great many
breeders with a reputation and a host
of regular customers would be glad to
know of locality where they could
buy what extra stock they need to fill
their orders. The farmers could eas.
lily sell the stock themselves through
one of their number or through one or
the New York or BOSTON concerns
which make a speciality of pure bred
stock in large quantities. 1t is not n
very difficult matter for the farmer
to learn to sell his stock on his own
account. Fancy birds will almost sell
themselves.

IEl2RCVING THE
POULTRY FLOCKS
Better Results Could BE Had II
Farmers in Given Locality
Would All Keep One
Breed ofChtckens.

The community idea might be
worked great deal more than 1t is
in the pure-bred poultry business.
Better results could be had If the
farmers in given locality would all
keep one breed of poultry. If they
would unite on some good, popular,
easy selling breed. they would find
buyers much more easily than where
each man keeps a different kind of
stock, says the American Cultivator.
With dairy cattle this plan has
worked wonderfully well for certain
groups of farmers in various parts of
the country. In Wisconsin there is a
dairy center, where almost everybody
keeps Guernseys. In New York state
there is a region where dozens of
farmers keep Holsteins. In northern
New Jersey there is another Guernsey
center, and in various parts of the
countr ythere are Jersey and Ayrshire
dairy centers. In all these localities
there are hundreds OF pure-bred ami.
mails, which can be seen In a few
hours. Such a condition becomes
known all over the country, and buy
ers travel hundreds of miles. knowing
that ii they do not find just what they
want at the first farm they VISIT they
are likely to find 1t further on in the
same neighborhood.

INDEPENDENCE
ON THE FARM
SPLENDID RESULTS FOLLOW
FARMING IN THE CANADIAN
WEST.
Americana In Canada Not Asked to
Forget That They Were Born
Americans.

Farm produce today Is remunera-
tive, and this helps to make farm life
agreeable. Those who are studying
the economics of the day tell us that
the strength of the nation lies In the
cultivation of the soil. Farming is no
longer hand-tomouth existence. 1t
means independence, often afiluence.
but certainly independence.
Calling at a farm house, near one of
the numerous thriving towns of AL
berta, in Western Canada. the writer
was given a definition of ''indepen-
dence" that was accepted as quite
original. The broad acres of the farm
er's land had crop-and a splendid
one, too, by the way-ripening for the
reapers' work. The evenness of the
crop, covering field after field, attract
ed attention, as did also the neatness
of the surroundings, the well-built sub
stantial story -and-a-half log house, and
the well-rounded sides of the cattle.
His broken English-he was French
Canadian-was easily understandable
and pleasant to listen to. He had
come there from Montreal a year ago,
had paid 500 an acre for the 320-acre
farm, with the little improvement it
had. He had never farmed before, yet
his crop was excellent, giving evi-
dence as to the quality of the soil, and
the good judgment that had been used
in its preparation. And brains count

how he liked it there, he Strengthened
his broad shoulders, and with hand
outstretched towards the waving fields
OF grain, this young French Canadian,
model of symmetrical build, replied:
BE gosh, yes, we like him--the
farmfn'-well, don't we, Jeannette?"
as he smilingly turned to the young
wife standing near. She had accom-
panied him from Montreal to his far
west home, to assist him by her wifely
help and companionship, in making a
new home in this new land "Yes, we
come here wan year ago, and we never
farm before. Near Montreal, me
