PRESIDENT OPPOSED TO

Speaks Plainly and Directly on Cues
ton of National Defenses.
The other topic shall take leave
to mention goes deeper into the prin-
cipies of our national life and policy.
1t is the subject of national defense.
1t cannot be discussed without first
answering some very searching queS-
items. 1t Is said in some quarters that
we are not prepared for war. What Is
meant by being prepared? Is it meant
that we are not ready upon brief no
tice to put Il nation In the field, a ma
ton of men trained to arms? OF
course we are not ready to do that,
and we shall never be In time of peace
so long as we retain our present polit.
ical principles ard institutions. And
VIA. !s i that It ia suggested we
should be prepared to dO--to defend
ourselves against attack? We have al.
ways found means to do that and
shall find them whenever it is neces-
sary without calling our people away
from their necessary tasks to render
compulsory military service in times
of peace.
Allow me to speak with great plain
ness and directness upon this great
matter and TO avow my convictions
with deep earnestncss. have tried
to know what America is, what her
people think, what they are, what they
most cherish and hold dear. l hope
that some Of their finer passions are in
my own heart-some OF the great con-
ceptiens and desires which gave birth
to this government and which have
made the voice Of this people a voice
of peace and hope ana liberty among
the peoples Of the world, and that
speaking my own thoughts, shall, at
least In part, speak theirs also, how
ever faintiy and inadeQuateiy, upon
this vital matter.
We are at peace with all the world.
No one who speaks counsel based on
fact or drawn from a Just and candid
Interpretation Of realities can say that
there is reason to fear that from any
quarter our independence or the integ-
rity Of our territory Is threatened.

THE COLORED FAIR.

The Lancaster Colored Fair which
was held on Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday of last week, we are sorry to say
did not prove a success financially.
Owing to the threatening weather
prevailing, small crowds attended the
first two days, and while large crowd
was there on the last dav, it did not
suffice to pull them out of the hole, and
the promoters will lose on their invest
ment. This is much to be regretted as
the colored people had made many
preparations and gone to considerable
expense. However, they are nothing
daunted by their want of success and
announce that another exhibition will
be held next year. The fair this year
was an unusually good one. the rings
were well filled and the premiums We're
liberal, but the weather mitigated
against the success of the exhibition.

Doubtless no greater trial can come
TO man than to be placed in aposition
where some momentous problem
absolutely requires his attention, when
some great sorrow is gnawing at his
heart. and despite the fact that his
heart is almost breaking, he is COM
PEELED to give his attention to his
business affairs.
Our President has just passed through
such crisis, has just faced such a
situation. For the past two months
matters of the greatest moment engross-
ed his attention, matters of state,
matters which he and he alone could
cope with, matters which, come what
might. were compelled to have his at
tention. During all of this time the

been with him through his many trials
and who had beeniso elated at his success

wearisome burden of the affairs of the

that burden, was slowly but surely

LOOK MORE CLOSELY TO
THE ASSESSING OF
THE DOGS.

Under the caption Dog law and
Sheep Industry, the Courier Journal
of Monday had an editorial that was of
vital interest to the farmers of the
state of Kentucky. 1t states that the
Oldham county grand jury at a recent
term called the attention of the court
to the remissness of officials in assess
ing and collecting the dog tax in the
county, and to the fact that the records
show decrease of POI dogs from 1909
to 1912. Now everybody knows it is
not characteristic of the canine race to
show decrease from year to year,
rather the reverse is a fact.
The same state of case doubtless ex-
lists in other counties in the state than
Oldham. Speaking of the advantages
to be derived from a rigid enforcement
of the Dog Tax Law, the editorial saws:
1t decreases the number of worthless
dogs, 1t encourages the sheep-raising
industry and it benefits the schools.
The benefits in every instance are in
proportion to the fidelity with which
the law is enforced.
Sheep raising ought to be one OF
Kentucky's greatest agricultural In
dustries and would be but for the pres
ence of thousands of dogs, most of
them useless for all practical purposes.
tax on their owners and menace to
their owners neIghbors. One of the
leading agricultural papers in the coun.
try recently expressed the belief that
the sheep business in the United States
could be increased $50 per cent, within
few years IF the dog trouble could
be solved. Some time ago the United
States Depart ent of Agriculture sent
inquiries to 1000 counties in thirty-six
States. One of the questions asked
was: What is the main hindrance to
increasing the number of sheep raised
The replies in $40 instances might have
been summed up in>~the one word,
dogs.
The number of sheep in Kentucky
could be increased $50 per cent, with
in a few years if it were possible to
decrease the number of dogs to one
half its present proportions. The dog
law efficiently administered would
bring about such reduction. There
is much to be gained by the expansion
of the sheep-raising industry. On the
contrary there is nothing to be gained
and much to be lost by increasing the
production of dogs.
A rigid enforcement of this law in
Garrard county would meet with hearty
appreciation throughout the county.
The farmers of the county are very de-
sirous Of increasing their flocks of
sheep, but are deferred from dsinS so

ERSTWHILE
ENEMIES
PAY GLOWING TRIBUTE TO
Brilliancy Of Congressman Stanley.

The Bowling Green Messenger. a
newspaper that bitterly opposed the
candidacy of Congressman A. 0. Stan
ley against Gov. Beckham, pays him
the following brilliant tribute in sug-
gesting him as>the successor to Attor-
ney General McReynolds, in the event
the latter gentleman is elevated to the
vacancy now existing upon the supreme
bench:-
The race for the Democratic noml-
nation for the United States Senator

/ {. ". beckham and Congressman A.
o. Stanley was d battle of two giants.
Both young. active and brilliant, they

ami did not spare each other in pre-
senting their respective sides of public
| questions.
Victory has perched upon the banner
OF the young Governor. He won be-
cause majority of the people of the
State believed he had been wronged in
the election. by the General Assembly
of 1908.
For this condition of affairs Mr..
Stanley was in no wise responsible. He
had right to make the race, as any
Democrat with aspirations had, and the
very brilliant fight he made showed
what an impression he made on the
voters of the Commonwealth,
There is place about to become
vacant in the Presidents Cabinet which
MIR. Stanley could fill with distinction.
1t is generally understood that Attorney
General McReynolds will be selected to
vacancy on the Supreme Court bench.
This would make the Attorney Gener-
alship vacant. What would be more
fitting than that this place should be
offered to Hon A. o. Stanley, of Ken
lucky? He is eminently qualified for
the position. He is able, brave, honest
and courageous. His services in public
life have shown that he stands for the
interest of the great common people.
Let the President recognize his merit
and promote MIR. Stanley to this place.
We believe that there can be imputed
to US no selfish interest in this outside
the interest that all Kentucky Democ-
rats ought to have in seeing the Democ-
ratio nominee for Congress have d sure
election in the November polls. Mr..
Stanley will support him, as all good
Democrats will. but in this time of
political unrest it is just as well to
make sure.
The editor of the Bowling Green
Messenger voted and worked for the
election of Governor Beckham for the
Senatorship. For this he has no apol-
ogy to offer. He believes he voted for
the best interest of his party. Matters

cur. Not only are the sheep hsFsssed +,
but hogs, geese and other fowls and
animals on the farms have been devastat:.
ed by their ravages. In the city of
Lancaster we are afflicted with severe
overplus of worthless cannes, and we
will venture to say that not rs per
cent of them are ''tax paid", and the
annoyance they occasion the housewife
in particular and the community in
general is better imagined than describ-
ed. The damage done by them to the
flocks of the county amounts close to
one thousand dollars annually, and the
tax derived from their assessment
seldom pays the claims, and there is
never surplus derived from that
source. By all means, if it be possible,
let us have rigid enforcement, of the
dog law, and careful assessment of
the CANNES in Garrard county.

The European war seems to be

Because of the strict censorship exist
ing in many countries, and the cutting
of the cable between this country and
Germany, war news is exceedingly
scarce, the most of it coming by wire
less, and all reports being contradictory.
However, it seems certain that a ter
rife battle has been fought at Liege in
Belgium between the Belgians and her
allies and Germany. The Germans loss
was severe, and they finally succeeded
in taking the city of LIege, but the
staunch little Belgisns are holding onto
their forts, those in the city retreating
into the forts, which have held out
heroically against the onslaught of the
Germans. Over 1000 soldiers were

STANLEY FOR GOVERNOR.

Hon. A. o. Stanley, who was defeat
ed for the senatorial nomination by
j. c w. Beckham, is being boosted
strong throughout the State by various
papers for Governor, says the Ander-
son County Record. His remarkable
uphill fight against the most astute
politicians in the old Commonwealth
won for him hundreds of friends.
Many men who were against him were
amazed at his strength. Few people
cOnversant with the political outlook
thought he had very good chance to
win and his remarkable showing marks
him as a man who is destined to stay
in the front ranks of Kentucky Democ-
racy. If he decides to run he has his
campaign already made and is now
well known throughout the state
whereas when he went into the sena-
torial race practically unknown out
side of his own congressional district.
He has signified his intention of sup
porting the nominee and can be de-
pended on in the fall campaign to help
place Beckham in Senate.
With Beckham in the Senate and
Stanley in the Governors chair the
affairs of the state and nation would
be ably looked after and the party unit
ed as never before. In conversation
with number of local leaders the
writer found wonderfully strong SEN
timent for Stanley for governor. In
fact most of the men who led the
fight against him in this county ex-
pressed desire to vote for him.
