AGRICULTURE REMAINS
OF GREATEST INTEREST

II was the plan of nature that
man should derive his food and
clothing directly from the earth.
Although We have come a long way
from this primitive idea, it is still
true that agriculture in its various
forms is the most widely spread in
dustry in the world-the industry
upon which everything else finally
rests.
Mans natural interest in agricul-
ture remains the greatest interest
he has. This is why men and wom-
en- everywhere, although they may
be living artificial lives in cities,
dream and talk about the good
time coming" when they will have
"a little piece of ground"
The newspaper that publishes
farm news is connecting itself with
the strongest interest it's readers
have American Magazine.

MAKING PLANS FOR THE
FORMAL Announcement
OF Ratification OF the Seven.
teenth Amendment to
Constitution.

Washington, May 24.-Secretary
Bryan is planning TO make the for
NAL announcement of ratification
OF the seventeenth amendment TO
the Constitution. providing for the
direct election of United States SEN
ators, a memorable event. marking
as IL does the elimination of a
movement first instituted in Con-
gress 81 years ago.
The date for the signing of the
proclamation will be agreed upon
with Representative Rucker of Mis-
souri,, who was chairman of the
House Committee which reported
the resolution submitted to the
State Legislatures for ratification
during the last Congress. -
Although the first resolution for
the popular election of Senators
was introduced into the House in
1926. such a measure did not reach
the Senate until 1850.
Then the proposition met with
senatorial disfavor during the next
SO years, or until February. 1912
The amendment, which thus will
be officially announced. will be the
second one so promulgated this
year. the first being that providing
for the income tax, which was an
nounced by Secretary Knox in the
last days of the Taft administration
Until then the Constitution had
not been amended since the famous
fifteenth amendment at the conclu-
sion of the Civil War.

committed upon the miners. their
wives. daughters and children, in
the name of the law" The State
Constitution has been suspended
and the right of fair trial by Jury

be speedily and equitably adjusted.

A multiplicity of laws, most OF
which are not enforced. is the bane
of any State or municipality. And
Kentucky is burdened with just
such an incubus. Let us hope that
our next Legislature will repeal
these apparently useless and un-
enforced measures and enact only
such laws as are absolutely necessa-
ry and give abundant hope of being
carried into effect.

QUIT RAISING TOBACCO
AND THE REASON WHY

There is no need for a plant OF
tobacco TO grow in this country. II
our farmers would work as much
at other work as they do with their
tobacco, they would make more.
The only thing that makes for the
tobacco crop is that the little dab
of money comes in one pile. See
what it costs. II takes thirteen
months and sometimes longer TO get
through with your crop. Many
times that wife of yours has 10
work with the filthy stuff. Those
little children must stay at home
from school and stunt their little
minds all because father thinks he
is making money. And then. after
all. he has given TO the world some
thing that is worse than useless.
Now you should work as much rails
ing corn. hay. wheat. oats. fruits,
etc, as you do raising tobacco
mean keep busy the year round
like you have to do when you have
tobacco; let your wife stay at the
house and cook your meals and
raise chickens and calves: let those
little children go to school and get
an education, the best and only
lasting thing you can give them.
And at the end of the year you will
feel better. your children will be
growing into useful men and wom-
en-. and everybody else will be ben
efited.-lMayson County News.

The Wall Street Journal is wild.
eyed and belligerent because there
has been an intimation from Wash
ington that II the big protected in
dustries reduce wages, as they
threaten 10 do II the new tariff law
does not suit them, there will be a
Congressional investigation. The
Journal seems to think this would
be a terrible outrage. In fact 1t
would be only justice TO wage-earn-
er and wage-payer. IL the pro-
tected industries are really honest
in their contention that a reduction
in certain tariffs would compel them
TO reduce wages. they should be fair
enough to show the reason why.
This Wall Street alarm sounds like
me big interests are being hit in q
tender spot.

latter said in his paper that "Theo-

that not infrequently. 1t shows a

the Colonel TO drag such a matter
into the limelight, as otherwise the
public would never have heard Of
the charge. Whether true or not,
il was not deserving OF notice;
whether proven or not, it will have
only one effect. and that is TO give
