Senator Burnam's Speech Or
County Unit Bill.


In the State Senate last Thursday SEN
ator A. Rollins Burnam. of this city,
representing the counties of Madison,
Estill, Powell and Lee, made speech
on the County Unit Bill that win meet
with the endorsement of the overwhelm-
ing majority of his immediate constitu-
ents and of the people of Kentucky at
large. From the Frankfort State Jour
nal these extracts Of Senator Burnam' 5
speech are copied;
1.-The Senator from kenton, with the
holiness and candor that characterizes
him, has stated his meaning and think
it well that this admirable candor should
prevail when referring to the county unit
bill.
''In 1891, the people Of Kentucky
adopted new constitution, in which
reference is made to the taking of the
sense of the people in the various coun-
ties and communities upon the question
of licensing liquor sales Every Legis-
lature which has been convened here
since that time has considered the ques-
ton. and large and respectable element
of the people of Kentucky has come and
asked for enactment of this county unit
law. They have been entitled TO have a
law passed making this subdivision Of
the State the unit.
LIQUOR INTERESTS STUMBLING BLOCK.
in every assembly, powerful inter-
est, the liquor interests, (and have
never found fault with them because
they did SOY. has endeavored to prevent
the enactment of this statute.
every parliamentary devise has been
resorted to. Gag rules have prevailed
uniformly and repeatedly in the past.
This same idea was in the minds of
this special interest when the present
assembly convened A committee of the
Democratic caucus was appointed to
consider these rules, and they prepared
a set of rules which for unfairness had
no parallel in the history of the State. :"
A'The fourth, or gag rule, as adop-
ted was too much even for partisan
body to adopt it was left out at the in
stance of a majority of those present
when the adoption of the rules was
moved.
RULES ARE ELASTIC.
But these rules were so ingeniouSly
contrived that upon an adverse report of
committee on any question, two
thirds vote of the Senate is necessary to
advance any measure in the order OF
business. If the county unit bill goes tc
the committee on Morals, it is an open
secret that it never will be reported or,
if reported, it win be adversely. The
constituents of every Senator should
know that when he votes on any propo-
sition with reference to this question, ii
isa vote against the County Unit bill,
there should be no effort at dissimula-
ton here
Despite the efforts of the dry Sena-
tors, led by Burnam, of Madison, and
Claude Thomas, of Bourbon. the Unit
bill was buried in the hands of COM
miteee Overwhelmingly wet, whence
it can never be recalled under the gag"
rules adopted.

IHcu, we are now giving little In
formation as to the courses offered
by the different schools in our terri
tory, and we wish to repeat that the
ambitious farmer or farmers boy can
make no better investment of time
and money than to take one Of these
courses.
The Mississippi A. & M. College
has its short courses in the summer:
and we have had no information
from the Alabama Polytechnic, at
Auburn.
The University of Arkansas offers
a two weeks course beginning jan
uary 2, 1911. The cost is very small
and there is a strong faculty. DR..
Jno. L. Tillman, Fayetteville, Ark,
will be glad to give full information.
The Louisiana State University, at
Baton Rogue, offers a course with
lectures on general farming, truck
ing, farm machinery, crop pests and
diseases, and judging demonstrations
with farm Misunderstanding from
January to January %. DR.. w.
R. Dodson, the Dean of the Agricul-
tural Faculty, can furnish full in
formation as to cost, etc.
The A. & M. College of Texas will
also have a two-weeks' course begin
ming January 9th. Instructions will
be given in agriculture, horticulture,
animal husbandry, veterinary science,
etc. Write Prof. C. M. Evans, Col
lege Station, Texas, for details.
The University of Tennessee. at
Knoxville, will have an eight-weeks
course during January and February.
Full information can be had from
Prof. H. A, Morgan. Director of the
Agricultural Department. Five free
short courses for farmers will also
be given at the following times and
places:
Columbia, November 21-26; Jack
son, December SIT; Carthage, De-
cember 1851; GAINESVILLE, December
1851; Johnson City. December &C.
81. These courses will be Of the most
practical nature and should be large
ly attended. In fact. there is no good
reason why several thousand young
farmers In the South should not
get at least a. little instruction in
scientific agriculture this winter.

Patriarchal Ideas Still Dominant.
Japan is still governed largely on
patriarchal lines. The Emperors
themselves depend largely on the pa
triarchal spirit for their power, claim
ing direct descent in unbroken line
from the Sun-Goddess, while the peo-
pie are supposed to be themselves de-
scendants Of Emperors or of minor
Gods. In family life the patriarchal
idea is still more prominent, the
father being the virtual ruler until
he abdicates in favor of the eldest
son. Ancestor worship is general, of
course, and typical case is my
young Nikko friend, who tells me
that in his home are memorial tablets
to six Of his most recently deceased
ancestors, and that hot rice is placed
before these each morning. Now the
teaching is that the spirits of the
dead need the odor of the rice for
nourishment, and also require wor-
ship of other kinds. Consequently
the worst misfortune that can befall
a man is to die without heirs to
honor his memory (the mere dying
itself is not so bad), and If he be the
Oldest son. this amounts almost to
treason to the family.
Moreover, If man be without sons
daughters don't COUNT, he may
adopt son. and the cases of adop-
ton are surprisingly frequent. Count
Okuma, ex-Prime Minister of the EN-
pire, whom visited last Sunday,
adopted his son-in-law as his legal
son; a distinguished banker visited

THE "BIG HOG" DELUSION.

With the coming of cold weather
will come the neighborhood gossip
that John Smith killed a hog that
dressed $50 pounds, or Sam Jones
killed one that dressed Ats pounds.
In the ordinary course OF pork
making, with hogs that have not
been used for breeding purposes, hogs
of that size are no credit to the in
telligence Of their owners. The last
hundred pounds made by such hogs
probably cost three times as much as
the first or second hundred pounds
