 It was a pitchers battle, Joe Bills, the great Billiken utility man, was called upon to win the game and tie the series with the players of c.

There is a certain interest in the pos sibility of a baseball war between the clubs of the major leagues and those of the American association, which latter, in case of an outbreak, would probably have the financial back of the Eastern and Pacific organizations.
 When the commission flatly refused to grant the demands of the American as sociation, which amounted to a defiance in case that association was not given an identical rank with the majors that it would raid the territory of the minors, there was fear expressed that something serious would develop.
 Should war be declared, the American association will plant clubs in certain cities of the American and National

es of the people have little voice in Sc
lecting nominees of the political parties
when made by convention. The party
convention has long been known as the
Politicians Heaven" But not quite
so for the people.
A legalized primary held once each
year in which all political parties are
required to select their party NOMINEES
upon a fixed day, with the interest of
each party properly safeguarded, and
the primary to be conducted by and the
expenses paid for by the state would
be forward movement for Kentucky.
How much in need we are for such a
law is strongly suggested by the call
recently made by the Democratic COM
mite for convention to be held June
14th. to nominate a candidate for rail
road commissioner for this district,
when only sixteen days later a state
primary will be held to select the party
nominees for all state offices. Why
did not the committee call a primary
and have it along with the regular
state primary July first? Those res
ponsible may have a good reason to as
sign but we have not heard it.
Such authority placed in the hands of
committeeman frequently, and is usually
used as a mere commodity upon which
to trade and traffic to forward the in
terest of certain political factions in
the party. If these conditions are not
serving your purpose, as matter of
course you would approve of change.
The remedy is simple and easy. Use
your influence for legalized primary.
See that the next Legislature is COM
posed of representative who will give us
a primary law. Do you know that
your candidate for the legislature fav-
ors fair primary law?
If not ask him for an expression.

The supreme Court of the United
States, the highest in the land on Mon
day decided against the Standard Oil
Co. in a case instituted against them in
the state of Missouri years ago, and
which they have fought to the last
ditch. The holding of the supreme
court was as follows, and was without
a dissenting voice, except that of JUS
tice Harlan, and that only as to minor
details:-The supreme Court holds
l That the Standard Oil Co. is a
monopoly in restraint of trade.
That this giant corporation must
be dissolved within six months.
Corporations whose contracts are
mot unreasonably restrictive of com
petitors" are not affected.
Other great corporations whose
acts may be called into question will be
dealt with according to the merits OF
their paticular cases.
There is no appeal from this decision
no way out of it, and the King OF
Trusts must be dissolved, and thai
within six months; nor is this all, the
Tobacco Trust is under consideration
and an opinion is expected as to then
on May 18th. The Department of Jus
tice is considering seriously the trust
question, and now in their first flush
of victory, they propose to go after al
of them both great and small.

Dip Your Sheep.

Since the beginning of the sheep
shearing season it has been discovered
that great many more fiocks of sheep
than were at first supposed were af-
fiicted with scabies Flocks that have
heretofore been inspected and were
thought to be clean, were found to be
infected.
Sheep scab is getting to be very COM
mon, and now while the U. S. Govern
ment has taken the matter in hand and
, are showing disposition to assist in
Kidding the state of it, every farmer,
or at least every one who owns sheep,
should do everything in their power to
assist them in their efforts. Sheep
should be dipped, whether or not they
are known to be infected, an ounce OF
preventative is worth pound of cure,
and if you will dip them in time it will
prevent the disease breaking out among
them.
Scabies are caused by parasites
which are not discernible to the naked
eye, and they work outward from the
skin of the animal, their presence is
first made known by the sheep rubbing,
finally becoming so persistent that the
wool is rubbed off, then sores, "scabs'
begin to make their appearance. II
preventative measures are taken wher
the sheep first show signs of distress
the disease can be eradicated from the
flock, sometimes with one dipping
nearly always with two, and much ex
pense and trouble saved.
Under the present inspection system
your sheep must be visited and inspect
ed by the county livestock Inspector
who, if he finds the flock clean, will
give you a certificate to that effect
If he finds evidence of scabies, he will
order them dipped, and if you wish tt
sell or move them, will after they ar,
dipped, give you certificate showing
them to be clipped sheep, if he find.
the disease to be present in too viru
lent form, he will order the entire
flock quarantined.
The transportation companies requir'
a certificate before they will accep
sheep for transportation over thei
lines.
| These measures may appear some
what rigid, but they are just and right
they will not only be the means event
ually of graduating the disease from
the sheep of the state, but they will
prevent the bringing in from othe
states of diseased sheep to mingle will
our fiocks.

Quick Justice.

At Lebanon last Saturday James
Buckner charged with the murder of
Policeman Robey on the previous Sun
day morning, was found guilty of muir
der in the first degree and his punish
ment fixed at death. Jesse Smith who
was indicted for completely in the
murder, was tried on Monday and
found guilty of voluntary manslaugh-
ter, the penalty for which is from two
to twenty one years in the penetenti-
airy. The evidence did not show that
Smith held the officer while Buckner
stabbed him, as was at first supposed.
Now for speedy electrocution OF
these fiends and perhaps it will be pos
sible to stamp out such atrocious crimes

The illegality of the business trans
