Wnen did II transpire that Kentucky
and kentucky's Democracy became so
eternally indebted to him for that
obliging act, for the questionable dis
JUNCTION OF being permitted to say that
even Beckham is willing TO represent
us in the Federal Senate?
When Mr. Beckham instructs Harry
Sommers to inscribe upon the back Of
his speeches the legend that Democ-
racy is indebted to him, he strength
ems not his cause, but he outrages the
Intelligence, he insults the self-respect
k,0i the Democracy of Old Kentucky.
Six years ago Mr.. Beckham was
told, and repeatedly assured, that he
was the one and only Democrat in all
the Commonwealth who could not be
elected to the Senate. lie was told
that he might name the Senator, that
any other Democrat save himself
would be acceptable to the Democratic
members OF the Legislature. He was
left to choose between the sacrifice of
his own personal ambition and the i'm
notation of party that had honored
him. Had he then said 1T Is compare
Lively unimportant who the Senator is !;
w is all important what he is and what
The stands for; my party's success is
more precious to me than any personal
ambition'-then, indeed, could he have
claimed that party and country
owed him debt but having secured
that nomination by the most devious
OF methods, holding 1t by the most
questionable of titles, he stood like the
dog in the manger, until, as a result of
the perfidy of Democratic representa-
tives and the selfshness Of a Demo.
cratic nominee, Republican was in
vested with the toga of Democratic
Senator.
"He has exhausted every right, ex-
pressed or implied, legal or moral, he
ever had to that nomination, and now,
shrink and dodge and squirm as he
may behind the specious fallacies of
Richard w. Knott he is forced to fight
he must win or lose on his merits !;
he must show the people of Kentucky
that he deserves the distinction he
seeks.

On March "a, 1900, as a necessary de-
Tense to the sanctity of the courts, 10
the protection of legislative bodies, 10
the security of human life, and TO the
maintenance of the dignity and the honor
OF a great State. Mr.. Beckham made use
of the militia in protecting the state from
the laWless and blood thirsty hOrdes who
had filled the Capital with terror and
stained il with blood. Mr.. Knott saw his
peaceful army disband with baffied rage,
and vented his impudent fury, not upon
Governor, but upon Mister Beckham.
I'm a high sounding Elimination Rich
ard W. Knott, on March 70, 1900, said:
Mr.. Beckham, in an address 10 the peo-
pie OF Kentucky, attempts 10 justify his
call for military assistance. The call
would hardly justify a chief Of police in
ordering out his reserve forces
fed even TO play Governor. outside OF a
kindergarten, and yet Mr. Beckham issues
his orders 10 his retainers.'
How will the Democracy OF Kentucky
account for the strange reconciliation OF
Knott and Beckham? They are in the
same bed now. Has Dick Knott cGddled

Knott gone up, or has Beckham gone
down? How, in the name Of reason, did
heard OF the reformation of the Louisville
Evening Post? Dick Knott is as change
less as original sin in his advocacy OF
everything that Is evil in our social, in
dustrial and political existence. He Is the
same sinister servant OF homicide and
crook edness, who yesterday bounded VIII

like, attempted 10 mangle his dead body
and blacken his memory.
where are Fauntleroys nurses now?
Where are the true and valiant Demo-

EXCELLENT FOR SHEEP
ALFALFA ALMOST INDIsPENsA-
BILE TO LIVE STOCK GROWER.
From Comparative obseurlty II Has
Come Into Prominence During Last
Ten or Fifteen Years for
Breeding Animals.
Rv r. ]. KINZERO


The use OF alfalfa cannot be too
strongly urged with sheep, either the
breeding or fattening stock. AS the
method Of farming has become more
intensified and the open range grows
less each year, an acre of alfalfa must
be made to take the place of many
acres of range pasture.
Sheep, being ruminants, are able to
handle a much more bulky feed than
horses. A breeding flock of sheep can
be carried through the winter season
very successfully with but little grain
in addition to alfalfa hay Ordina-
rily the first cutting Of alfalfa is not
as good for sheep as the second and
third cuttings, as 1t is usually coarse
and stemmy, and sheep do not eat
these stems readily.
II is about as safe to pasture old
sheep on alfalfa as 1t is cattle. They
thrive on It, and make excellent gains;
but sheep bloat easily and there is
likely to be a little loss from this
source. Lambs can be pastured on
alfalfa with but little danger of bloat,
and the way they grow on alfalfa is
a delight to the shepherd. They should
never be put on the pasture, when
they are empty and hungry, and it is
always well to allow them access to
some dry feed and keep them off
the alfalfa until the dew is of; also
on damp days. A mixture of alfalfa
and brome-grass or alfalfa and or
chard grass is a safer pasture than
alfalfa alone.
A flock of ewes and lambs can be
grazed for a short time each day on
alfalfa with but little danger Of any

loss. If a lamb-creep can be arranged
from the sheep corral to an al
falfa pasture, the lambs will soon
learn what it is intended for and will
do far better on it than if confined to
a dry yard. Newly seeded alfalfa can
be pastured with less danger of blOat
than an old field, and the packing Of
the ground by the sheep passing over
1t is frequently great benefit to the
alfalfa
AS a roughage for fattening sheep
alfalfa hay has no equal, and cases of
bloat from the hay are exceedingly
rare. 1t can be fed either whole or
cut, and fed with grain. Many prefer
this method of feeding, claiming that
there is less waste by il. In feeding
experiments nothing has been found
fattening sheep. In an experiment
at the Kansas station, alfalfa and
prairie hay were compared as rough
ages. In the test the grain ration was
corn and cottonseed meal for both
lots. Those receiving alfalfa hay made
an average daily gain of 1886 pounds
per head. while the lot on prairie hay
made only .1SS pounds per head daily,
the alfalfa lot making almost twice as
great gains. The alfalfa seemed TO
give the lambs a better appetite and
they were always ready for their grain,
and as soon as their grain was cleaned
up they were ready for the alfalfa.

was the statement made by Mickey

Although Mickey appears to he con-
fident of victory. he does not want
the fans to think that he is under
rating the local boy. Mickey has
been in the game TOO long for any
thing of that sort. and ii Is good bet
that he will keep a close watch on
Eddies right when the gong rings
Friday night calling them to the CEN
ter of the ring. At least, Mickey says
he will, and that's all there is to It at
the present time.

uled to go ten rounds and this
should he long enough distance to
decide the better boy Both battlers
have promised to fight from the start,
which means that local fans should
see enough action in this set-to.
Harry Staten, however is taking no
chances. He has booked three other
matches and they are all corkers. The
Britt Grant affair should be a fast
mill, as both boys are of the same
weight and have shown much class
around here Grant will go after a
match with Johnny Coulon if he beats
Britt. while spider" says he is out
10 break Jimmy's long winning streak.
The boys are billed to go eight
rounds.

ton. Young has been idle for a few
weeks, but is now ready to start out
on a ousy campaign. He meets kid"
Goldman, OF Chattanooga for six
rounds and promises to dispose Of his
opponent. Young is willing, ag-
gressive ringman and always gives a
good account of himself.
The opening bout OF the evening
will he between Battling Brown and
Jack Wilks. Harry Staten says both
these scrappers are corners and has
promised the winner a match with
some good boy at some future date,
They are to so four rounds
Staten is expecting large crowd
10 attend the show and is making
ample arrangements to take care OF
all the fans. Harry has certainly Sc
cured the best boys in and around

successfully defended his title against

night, winning by a score of 500 to
226 in II innings. In only one inning
did Sutton show the game of which
he is capable. In the fifteenth he
made run of 1913, the highest string
of the game.
Hopes stroke was almost perfect
and his nursing was clever. His high
est run was 90.
