Woodrow Wilson eXpounded his views
of democracy to the kentucky legislature
late yesterday afternoon, giving what he
termed "a straight democratic talk" AT
night he spoke at banquet given by the
Woodrow Wilson League of Kentucky at
a local hotel.
Early in his speech before the legisla-
ture Mr.. Wilson brought out his idea of
"a system of trusteeship,'' which he said
grew out of the power welded by the big
interests in the political world by men
who could not see farther than across the
directors table,
Charging that representative office
holders were guided by these men. he said
government virtually resolved itself into
a trusteeship.
These men consider themselves guar
dams of the country" he said. "They
don't believe the judgment of the people
is sound, hence the guardianship. At
times it is necessary in furthering these
interests to prompt artificial prosperity or
Its reverse. We should not be afraid of
threats of the reverse, but combat them
with facts gained only by as sensitive a
knowledge of business as these men have
themselves.
."Prsvilege-this ghost has captured
business in this country. No business is
free and the whole situation shows an ar
tifcial advantage Business men are
afraid to talk and this tremor clutching
business is proof Of the grip of privilege
and fear Of it.
Our laws of twenty years ago don't
fit conditions as they are today. We
stand in the presence of a new order of
things. Formerly the people were against
change, but now they know it is neces-
sary."
Mr. Wilson said he would not attempt
to revolutionize the entire business fab
ric at one upheval, but would try to
"clear the channel" giving big business

CORK RAISING HERE.
Department Of Agriculture Plans to
Conduct Experiments.

Cork raising is a new industry that the
United States. probably will experiment
WITH according to a report submitted to
the Secretary Of Agriculture by Dr. B.
T. Galloway. chief of the bureau of plant
industry. The department always has
agricultural explorers out, and whenever
there is anything promising found it is
tried out in the United States. Thou
sands Of these experiments are never
heard of by the public, but If one seems
promising enough there Is a little said
about the plans. and occasionally some
thing is struck that develops into a
small agricultural bonanza.
The cork experiment is the result of a
trip through Spain and Algeria by w. T..
Swingle one of the field agents of the
department. He says that the cork oak
as cultivated in Spain seems particularly
suitable to some parts of the United
States 1t appears it could be grated
on the California oak, and ought to make
a valuable plant. The California oak
has proved successful grating stock for
the black oak. which is a much more
distant relative than the cork oak
