SPEECH OF Mr.. DECknAm
At COURT HOUSE FRIDAY
Defends His Own Record and
Goes After Stanley In
Hot Fashion.

There was nice size crowd out 10
hear Ex-Gov. Beckham at the court
house here Friday in the interest OF
his candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for United States Sena-
tor He was introduced by Esq. S. J.
Weller. who in brief talk reviewed
the political career of Kentucky 8
former Governor-the speaker OF
the occasion.
Mr.. Beckham started out by re-
viewing the candidacy of his OPP
ponents-Gov. McCreary and Con-
gressman A. o. Stanley. He touch
ed upon Gov. McCreary lightly,
mainly referring to the promise of
our present Governor when he was
making the race for his present po-
sition. that il elected he would ask
nothing more of the voters of the
state. The speaker then reviewed
his own career as Governor. Said
he inherited big State debt but
succeeded in liquidating il during
his administration.
Mr.. Beckham then began paying
his respects" TO Mr.. Stanley and the
greater part of his speech was aide
nunciation of the latter's official
record. He denounced Stanley for
neglecting important work i'm Con-
gress to prosecute his race for Sen
ator. Mr.. Beckham dwelt at length
upon his temperance record and con-
trasted ii with that of Mr.. Stanley,
whom he alleged was the candidate
of the liquor interests. The speaker
said every local option man was
liquor man and that every "blind
tiger" man and bootlegger is for
Stanley. -------
Mr.. Beckham said one of his
greatest pleasure is in visiting points
where liquor has been voted out-a
condition which he helped bring
about. He told what he had done
to cause the passage of the county
Jrit law, but nowhere in his speech
did he say whether or not he is in
favor of Statewide prohibition. Mr.
Stanley, said the speaker, represents
the saloons and blind tigers of the
State. and is the agent of the liquor
trust. Contrasting Mr.. Stanley's
public record with that of his own,
Mr.. Beckham said Mr.. Stanley had
never done anything worth consid-
ering for the miners, the farmers or
any other laborers OF the State. He
derided Stanley's record in Congress
and held the Congressman up as
rather a nonentity in official circles
and public work. The speaker add
ded by way of parenthesis that he
would scorn to misrepresent an OPP
that was not true.
Mr.. Beckham defended his record
as an attorney for the l.. q n. rail-
road, with which he says his oppo-
nentss are trying to shame him, and
said he never made as much as $500
year out of il. He resigned this
attorneyship the first of the year, he
said.
Mr.. Beckham was greeted with
several rounds of applause and his
speech was well received Said he
hoped to be employed as the peoples
attorney in the United States Sen
ate and promised them the best of
his ability and work in taking care
of their interests. Their trust, he
said, should be his greatest care.

Washington, d. c., April 3.--Rep-

his speech before the house Of rep

Mr.. Johnson cited many judicial
decisions to show that the term all

States.
The United States, he said, does
not use its own canal by virtue of
any rules. She uses 1t because she

sLAUeHTERiNo THE FARMER


Representative Lafollette Of Wash
ington charges that the present Dem.
ocratic tariff makes prosperous the
foreign farmer and poorer the Amer.
lean farmer. He says:
Public moneys appropriated for the
improvement of rivers and harbors
must be paid from taxes collected di.
rectly or indirectly from the produo-
ing citizenship Of our country. All the
moneys paid out for foreign products
that come in competition with our
own and which products would have
been supplied at home is just rs much
economic waste and becomes perma-
nent loss to this nation. Money so
expended goes to benefit the people
of foreign countries and contributes
TO the improvement of their rivers
and harbors instead of our own.
Mr.. Chairman, on February % Of
this year the Secretary of Commerce,
Mr.. Redfeld, in a speech before the
Chamber of Commerce of Hamilton,
Ohio, is reported as having said:
The first and foremost influence
of the new tariff law has been to
add to our food supply. For exam
pie, take the last three months OF
1912 and the last three months OF
1913.
In the former we imported 49,
900 cattle; in the latter 34l 900. In
the former we brought in $4,000
bushels of corn; in the latter 1859,
900 bushels. In the former $4,000
bushels of oats; in the latter 49,
100000 bushels. In the same per-
iod of 1912. 1900 bushels of pota-
toes; in 1918. 100000 bushels.
Mr.. Chairman, I am at h loss--ln
fact, utterly fail-to grasp the an.
gle from which the Secretary. Mr.,
Redheld, view this increased impor'
tation Of foodstufYs. I am 10th To be-
Iieve that he was so mistaken In facts
as to believe for one minute that
there was a short supply in the Uni.
ted States Of any Of the articles he
mentioned or that the increased i'm.
portations were needed to take care
of any shortage. On the contrary.
We had normal supply of all of the
articles enumerated and have made
expectations from this country during
the period mentioned of some of all
these commodities.
There can be but one interpreta-
tion placed upon the Secretary's re-
marks at Hamilton, and that is that
he felt the country was to be congrat'
ulated on this increased food supply
as competitive method to reduce the
price being paid to the American far
mer for like products. The Demo
cratic party had promised reduced
cost of living to the American peo
pie, and Secretary Reddeld evidently
tried to impress his audience that
the increased importations he men
toned We're proof positive that theiI
promises were being kept, but alacb
and alas! Along comes the Depart
ment of Labor and very inconsider
ately gives statistics that show gen
eral increase in the cost of living il

Washington, April 1.-The new fed
eral reserve banking system will start
business with total authorized cap.

serve banks. This fact became appar.
ent tonight when figures we're made
public from all national banks re-
spond to the last call Of the comptrol-
Ter of the currency, made March 4.
The total capital and surplus of the
7.494 national banks reporting was
given at about s1,7SS 100000. Under
the reserve, act each national bank
must subscribe 6 percent Of its capt.
tai and surplus to the capital of the
reserve bank in its district, and per
cent of this total would be about
$1O7, 100000. There were only 1896
national banks which signified in the
legal time their intention to enter the
system, so that the total would be
somewhat reduced, but the entrance
into the system of state bank and
trust companies will tend to Offset
this, and it is possible that with these
Institutions figures in the capital of
all reserve banks will be nearly $780,
100000.
Actual Working Capital
The actual working capital of the
reserve banks may reach only half
this amount, for the law provides
