THERELL Be NO CONVENTION.

in a strong editorial on Tuesday
81 this week, the Louisville Times
takes cognizance of the effort of
certain prospective candidates for
Congress in this district, to thwart
the will of the peaple by seeking to
secure convention to name the
democratic nominee, before the COM
ing legislature can pass direct
primary law, to which the party was
emphatically pledged in its platform.
The Times issues "Nord Of Warn
ing" to those who are endeavoring
to forestall Legislative action for
their own selfish interests, and prac.
tically tells them that should they be
able to do so, the fruits Of such
action would be worth mighty lit
lie.
While the Times mentions no
names, of course everyone knows it
is referring to the Eighth district,
which is the only district in the
state where such a plot has been
Matching. Certain aspirants for
congressional honors are afraid to
try conclusions with Congressman
Harvey Helm before the people and
have for some time been moving
heaven and earth to obtain a con-
vention to make next years NOM
nation before the state primary law
is passed. II will be good news to
those who see in the primary the
surest working of the peoples will,
and realize that the people of this
district are for Congressman Helm,
TO know that the committeeman of
the district will not lend themselves
TO any such plan. There will be no
convention held, and the nomination
WILDE made next year under the pro-
visions of the state primary law.
Congressman Helm will undoubtedly
be renominated and will again rep
resent the Eighth in the lower

House where he has served his con-
stituency so ably for the past three
terms.
II we're meet that those who are
DESTROYS of securing n convention at
this time and under such circum-
stances. read carefully the warning
! which Col. Haldeman gives them.
The Times said:
"The direct primaries plank in the
democratic platform has been con-
strued by the party's leaders as a
pledge that the people will be given
the right to name their representa-
tives. municipal, county, district and
state, by a direct vote, the expense
of such primary to be borne by the
municipality, the county, the dis
trict or the state, as the case may
lie and the law of the state to in
sure a fair field, equal opportunity
end swift punishment where these
rights are denied. On the strength
of that construction, the democratic
party has been placed in power.
at has come to the Times that,
in certain congressional districts,
men DESTROYS of the Democratic NOM
nation are seeking to have conven-
tons held in the hope that, through
combination and, if need be, manipu-
lation, their personal ambition will
be gratified. The Times has no
personal interest in the outcome of
any congressional campaign, but We
doubt seriously, if such schemes are
carried out, whether the nomination
will repay the cost. The Democrats
of the state have been promised the
right of the direct primary and the
man who interferes with the exercise
Of that right is more than likely to
receive his just rebuke at the polls.
If he does not the chances are all in
favor of the probability that his
first term will be his last.
"The democratic party in Kentuckq
is now a unit for the first time in
almost 20 years. The terms on
which it won victory are too plain
for misunderstanding. The duty to
redeem its promises can neither be
escaped nor avoided. The Democrat
who believes that the occasion is one
in which his personal will can, with
safety or profit, be opposed to the
full performance of the party's obi
cations, is planning most effective
ly for his speedy and permanent re-
tirement from political activity"

THIS SOUNDS MIGHTY NICE
(Danville Advocate.)


Editor Shelton ii. Saufley, of the
splendid Democratic paper, the Stan
ford Interior Journal, was in this
city yesterday. He stated that he
was making arrangements to attend
the Inauguration of Governor-elect
James B. McCreary. None of the
editors in the state are any closer
to the Governor elect than Mr.. Sauf-
ley, who did most valiant work for
the Usage Of Madison" both in the
primary and the recent election.
While we don't know that he will
want anything in the gift of the in
coming Democratic administration,
should anything be in store for any
man in the Eighth Congressional
District, we sincerely believe that Mr.
Saufley will be the proper man to
give it to. 1t would be a fitting re-
cognition of merit to remember him
with something good. 1t is not out
Of place TO state right here that he

FREEDOM OF THE
PRESS UPHELD.

A far-reaching opinion, affecting
the rights of newspaper TO criticise
a public official in the performance
of his duty, was handed down by the
supreme court of Missouri last week.
The courts decision declares that it
is the duty as well as the right Of the
newspaper to criticise men in public
office and that the press must be
permitted free and open discussion
Of the acts Of every public official
so long as it confines itself to a
statement of facts as a basis for
criticism.
"The legal propositions involved
that newspaper has the right fairly
and honestly to comment upon a mat
ter Of public interest,"" says the de-
cision in which all the Supreme
Court Judges concur, "and the Of
fetal conduct of a public officer is
a matter of public interest-are well
settled.
"The people are not obliged to
speak of the conduct of their Off
Gals in whispers or in bated breath
in a free government but only in
despotism. On the contrary, they
have the right to speak out in open
and criticise thereof, the
only test being that they make no
false statement. And this is the
great safeguard of free government
and Of pure government. This is
among us.

paper TO tell the people, its subscrib.

COVER FOR TOBACCO PLANTS
tlsdTsNfaIElaEE's|,E''k 'NSt"i l..

The production of good, healthy to-
bacco plants fit for transplanting in
the field is one of the most important
operations of tobacco growing, says
the Orange Judd Farmer. 1t Is the
well-known policy of most tobacco
growers to plant more seed and have
larger beds than necessary when the
weather and everything are favorable
TO production of good, strong, healthy
plants. w. S. Belmer of Connecticut,
after losing several years in success
sion his crop of small plants by freez-
ing, decided to make a bed this spring
in which he was sure to grow as many
and healthy plants as he wished. The
cost of this bed, he claims, Is about
one and one-half days extra labor. or
three dollars more than what his old
beds cost him. This seed bed, as
illustrated above, is Al feet wide, 81
feet long and four and one-half feet
high to the caves and about nine feet
high in, the center. On the west and
south sides are placed the glass

guinea hens that have been confined
for a season or whose ancestors have
been treated as domestic fowls, the
birds will, in time, become almost as
tame as chickens.
When the hens are left out in the
open they make their nests in brush
heaps or out-of-the-way places, and
when their nest is once located they
rarely leave the vicinity, and 1t is,
therefore, easy to find the nests. 1t
is always better to place the eggs un-
der a chicken hen for Matching I'M
less the guinea hen has been con-
fined.
Unless the guinea hen is confined
she will take her brood on jong jour-
neys through: the damp grass, and
many are likely to die from this
cause
One difficulty about raising gllineas
is that the young birds are very easily
killed by mites and lice. They are
apparently more tender than the
chickens and many will quickly die,
particularly If the big head louise at.
lacks them.

TRAIN LOAD AFTER
TRAIN LOAD OF
SETTLERS
ARE GOING TO CENTRAL CANADA.

The question of reciprocal trade re-
Canada has provoked considerable
discussion and interest Whatever
else the discussion may have done, 1T
has brought out the fact that on the
Canadian side of the line the agri-
cultural situation is one that forces
attention, and it has also brought forth
the fact which it is well to face, that
on the American side of the border,
there is q vastly increasing popula-
tion to be fed with a somewhat de-
creasing proportion of food products.
This article is intended to point out
to those who may wish to become OF
those who can raise wheat, oats, bar
ley, flax, cattle and hogs at the least
cost that the opportunities in Central
Canada are what they are seeking.
During the past year the official fig
ures show that upwards of 10000
Americans located in Canada, and the
greatest majority of these have settled
on farms, and when the time comes,
which it will within few years, they
will be ready to help serve their par
ent country with the food stuffs that
its increasing population will require.
The immigration for the spring has
now set in in great earnest, and train
load after train load of a splendid
class of settlers leave weekly from
Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, De-
troit, st. Paul and other points Most
of these are destined through to points
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta. The reports that come from
the different farming districts there
are that the spring is opening up well,
and the prospects for a splendid crop
this year are very good In some dis
tricts good homesteads are yet avail
able. The price of all farm lands has
naturally had an increase, but it. is
still away below its earning capacity.
The immigration branch of the Domin-
ion Government has just published it's

be secured on application to the De-
partment of the Interior, ottawa,

tisement may appear elsewhere in this

Dest profits are realized in handling
new breed. A good example of this
could be found In popularity of the
Hampshire hog. On account of the
growthifless of this breed, their pro-
life character and their general con-
stitutional hardness these hogs have
rapidly grown in popularity and in
every instance tnat has been called
to our attention where beginner has
started in with the right foundation
and handled them properly he has had
brisk demand for his surplus hogs

Fighting Man.

1t is mans nature to fight. 1t Is his
merit to fight for what he believes to
be right. Courage and bravery are
not achieved by hiring lawyer. A
man who is not willing to fight to the
death for the right or for his own is
not as good or complete a man as one
who is is willing. But opinions about
this are not so important as the fact
that 1t is mans nature to fight, and
that neither resolutions nor legislation
nor provision to get over all kinds OF
trouble in any other way than fighting
will avail.-Ellwood Hendricks, in At

Since July /, 1910, % lots of clover

OF these shipments two kinds OF dod-
der seed characteristic of Chilean red
clover seed are present, says a United
States department of agriculture Dulie-
tin. At normal rate Of seeding, these
shipments are sufficient to seed ap-
oroximately $4,000 acres, and at this
ate of seeding an average OF approx
mately $50 dodder seeds would be

then undertake to prove that 1t was
better than any or all others.
We take 1t for granted that in this
case 1t is the intention of the sub
scriber to handle pure-bred hogs and
we presume he is beginner In the
business and under these circum-
stances something may be said on the
topic that will throw little light on
the subject for those just starting.
The average man will do little bet
ter right from the start IL he takes
up the breed that is popular in his
community. The reason for this is
that he will have less difficulty In dis
posing of his surplus males early in
the season than If he starts in with a
breed with which his neighbors are
unfamiliar We mean by this that if

Many communications are received

for information on the best breeds of
live stock. Sometimes these inquiries
relate to draft horses, at other times
to beef cattle, frequently concerning
the breeds of dairy cattle and the last

We have repeatedly stated in these

stock, says the Homestead. So much
depends upon the tastes of the indi-
vidual, upon the environment and
upon the requirements of neighboring
farmers that it would be time wasted
