Political.

The report of the joint legis-

the rice crop of the Philippine
Islands has been a failure.
Probably large quantities of rice
from America can be used in the
islands, though India and Japan
generally get the Philippine rice
trade, being in a position to
make a very low price.
Both Houses of the Kentucky
Legislature have voted favorably
upon the county unit local option

sight differences in the bill

two Houses, which must be ad-

The government attorneys are

in way that is decidedly to the

The trial of the allied packers at

facts to support the charge of

GASOLINE Or OATS. Many
persons who have studied the
case of the auto versus the horse
are of the opinion that within
ten years the use of horses will
be forbidden upon the streets in
the congested parts of cities.
One of these experts assert that
by 1920 not a horse will be allow
ed south of Fourteenth street on
Manhattan Island. Another au-
thority says that today the horse
is hampering business in all the
crowded delivery sections of
cities and that horse-drawn We
hicles take up so much room that
in New York City alone, if the
horse was done away with, three
hundred miles Of streets could
be saved,
1t is all a question of dollars
and cents, this gasoline or oats
proposition. Even with an ordi-
nary pleasure automobile it SIM
merS down to that. Tests have
shown that the balance is in fa-
vor of the motor car just as it is
in the case of the heavier vehi-
cles that do the truck-horse work.
A six days trial, for purposes of
comparison, was made not long
ago. The automobile ran four
hundred and fifty-seven miles in
that time at a cost of one and
one-half cents per passenger per
mile. Depreciation was char ged
in this cost too. With a horse
and buggy the distance covered
in the six days was one hundred
and ninety-seven miles and the
cost nearly two cents per passen-
ger per mile.-Thadeus S. Day.

The corn acreage is going to
be up to the average, but great
trouble is coming to be experience
ed in getting seed corn.
All over the country there is a
scarcity Of corn that will grow,
as testing experiments already
made in most instances show
poor vitality.
Every farmer in Central Ken
lucky is warned in advance to
test his seed corn, ear by ear so
that corn that will terminate
may be secured for the planting
season. 1t is not sufficient to
accept somebody's statement that
the corn has been tested as there
are many ways of testing corn.
Each farmer should select the
ears to be tested and test each
separately.
Other seeds, such as garden
seed cloverseed and seed oats are
also said to be deficient in germi-
mating power and great care and
judgment should be displayed by
every farmer in selecting his
seed.

Get Pure Stock.

The scrub hog is simply hog
and does not get much attention,
because he is neither handsome
to look at nor profitable to raise.
The pure-bred hog is a work of
the breeders art and is hand
some in appearance and a rapid
money maker for his owner.
There is a satisfaction in hand
ling pure bred stock which can
never come through the hand
ling of scrubs, remarks Kansas
Farmer. This feeling of salts
faction is doubtless intensified
by the none! making abilities OF
the pure bred, but II would still
exist even without that. The
man who mllkS ten cows with an
average production of $50 pounds
of butter per year has neither
the incentive nor the satisfac-
ton that is obtained by the man
who milks three COWS which av-
erage 500 pounds of butter per
year. The first does more than
three times as much work and
gets small returns in which there
is no profit, while the second
does less than one-third the
amount of work and has a fat
bank balance as we'll. Any an
imal that has dollar signs stick
ing out all over him is attractive
and very easy to love.

neOy and other outlaws came and |
went at pleasure, unmolested
and the law became a farce. Dur
ing this time and at the height
of the season at Crab Orchard
Springs, Kennedy would go there
armed to the teeth and enjoy
meal and a julip. In the dining
room he would unbuckle his pis-
tolls and bowie knives and lay /
them before him on the table /
while he enjoyed his meal, fright
ening timid men and woman al !
most into fits. During one of /
Kennedy's visits to the pleasure
resort, he found Editor Henry
Watterson there. This ge1...-
man had used many columns oI
the COurier.Journal to criticise
the derelict officials for letting
Kennedy run at will. 1t happen
ed that the two men met in a
bar-room, when the outlaw, who
knew Mr.. Watterson by sight
accosted him with:
"You have been writing
great deal about me let's have a
drink over it." Mr.. Watterson
said he did not care for one, but
Kennedy said he must drink, and,
seeing that the outlaw meant
business, the editor yielded and
the two got on rather pleasant
terms before the liquor finally
disappeared.
Finally Kennedy boosted that
he was going to Crab Orchard to
the Governors ball and clink
glasses with Mr.. McCreary.
McCreary, who was then Gov
ernor, heard of this and sent for
George Hunter, who was then
sheriff of Nelson county and said
to him: George, we were in the
war and in prison together, and
| know if any man in Kentucky
is brave enough to bring this
man in you are he. | want you
to get him." Hunter went to
Lincoln and laid in ambush and
captured Kennedy in his barn at
daylight one morning while
cleaning his pistol. Kennedy
was sent to the penitentiary for
the murder he was charged with,
but was pardoned after a few
years by Governor Blackburn.
Three Of his sons also served
terms in the penetentiary for
murder, one of whom died there,
while the others, sent respect
fully for life and twenty-one years
also were pardoned. Kennedy's
career was always mystery to
his friends, whose life was en-
tirely changed by the murder,
which seems also to have infu-
enced his sons. -Harrodsburg

Cheers for Roosevelt: Votes for Taft.

Republican Convention, held in
Chicago the other day, may be
taken as typical, in large degree,
of what to expect from other
such gatherings and from the
national convention.
The name of Roosevelt was
greeted with a storm of cheers.
A viva voce vote on a resolution
to indorse him for the presiden-
cy brought forth an affirmative
acclaim so vigorous that there
seemed to be an even sentime mt
But the rolI-call told another
By an overwhelming majority Of
votes the Colonel was turned
down, and the confidence and ap-
proval of the delegates were lat
er bestowed upon the President.
1t looks as if Roosevelt boom
were largely one of shouts and
salves. 1t owes its portentous
appearance to the noisiness Of it's
promoters. Theodore controls
the megaphone, but friend Will
liam, of the White House, con-
trolls the votes.
1t is interesting to note, how
ever, what the Colonel has achiev-
ed, Intentionally or otherwise, by
his mysterious and ambiguous
policy. His indirect and uncon-
fessed entry into the field some
weeks ago, an entry accompanied
by means of his friends, and help
ed by his own comment on public
questions, resulted in putting an
effective check upon the La Fol-
lette movement and taking the
wind out of the Cummins candi-
dacy before it had a chance to get
under way. He cleared the field
of all possibilities but himself and
the President.
Then came his announcement
in which he declared that he
would not accept the nomination
as the gift of political intrigue;
but that he would not refuse it if
made as the demand of the peo-
pie. That announcement meant
that he would neither make nor
countenance the making of a fight
upon the President; it meant
if Mr.. Taft could secure
a majority of tie delegates to the
convention he was welcome to
them; there would be no inter-
ference from Oyster Bay with
White House program.
This assurance is all the friends
of Mr.. Taft wanted. No real
doubt remains that the President
will GO to Chicago with enough
delegates to capture the cOnven-
ton. LaFollette cannot stop him;
Roosevelt has spiked the Wis
consiD's guns, punctured his
boom, left him high and dry. The
Cummins candidacy is not seri-
ously taken.
President Taft has the right
of way, with Teddy holding back
the crowd and saying, in effect,
"Take it Bill, if you can. If you
can't why leave it to me-"
And as we size up the situa-
ton Bill is going to take it.

planted in corn this year. Be-
sides the regular corn pia nted 10
