NOT OUT OF THE WOODS.
(Elizabe thtown News. }

While Stanley ) overwhelming major
ity materially strengthens the Demo
cratic ticket for November. it is not out
of the woods by any means. There is a
hard fight ahead for the Democratic
party. 1t is time. therefore, for eau
ton and prudence. 1t is no A.. time for
rejoicing and rubbing it mon those who
were defeated. Ii is no time TO be at
lacking Democrats who have always
supported the ticket, and it comes with
very bad grace from some newspapers.
which have frequently bolted and at
other times given a grudging support
to the Democratic ticket.
The voters who supported McChesney
are just as good Democrats as those
who supported Stanley, and upon them.
and not the Stanley vote, depends the
success of the ticket In making the
Democratic platform. while it is con-
coded that the county unit will be most
heartily and strongly endorsed, the
people who helped to put it in the plat
form four years ago, and not those who
threatened the party with defeat If II
was adopted, should be in evidence in
the platform convention to reaffirm It
and not those who were driven reuct-
antly to accept il in order to defeat
State prohibition.
The Democratic party must in no
sense be surrendered to the liquor in
terest Of Kentucky We will resent
such course as violently as we oppos-
ed the dictation Of the Anti-Saloon
League. The Democratic party is not
going to be dominated by any interest
or by any organization without danger
TO itself 1t is too big and too strong
to submit to anything Of the kind and
any attempt to let the liquor interest
control the convention or TO dictate the
platform will be fraugt with great
danger to party success m November.
Neither should the policy of the party
be controlled by newspapers which
have been strongly allied with the liquor
interests and have fought the county
unit 20 the point Of threatening the
party with defeat if it was adopted four
wears ago. We are walking on thin ice
and il will crack and break under us
unless we are very careful with our
steps.
The more Of the true and tried county
unit men, those who are for il from
principle, and not from expediency who
are in evidence at the platform conyen-
ton, the better it will be for the ticket
in November. On the other hand, It
will be infinitely better if the liquor M
terest remains in the backgrounds and
remains satisfied with the defeat of
State prohibition in the primary.
Mr.. Stanley has very wisely said that
the liquor question, as far as this cam
paign is concerned. has been settled,
and We believe that he is right fla wise
and sensible course is pursued. There
Is no sense at this time in dealing in
elimination or recrimination, nor is
there any wisdom of proclaiming in the
platform anything which will give Of
Tense 10 the MeChesney voters, who
will be needed and badly needed on
election day.

A NECESSARY EVIL.

The person that stands on the street

gossip about OF to find fault with, can
always find what he is looking for. Bot
what life he lives. His soul shrivels

manner and looks. For such person
life has lost its SAVIOR. 1t becomes sour,
mlsanthropic, whining. He passes
from bad to worse and sees no good in
anybody. His taxes are always too
high. no matter how low they may be
and he cusses his neighbors because his
neighbor is prosperous ard enjoys life.
In fact, he hates himself. is menace

Why WHEAT AT ALL?

II would sound like heresy to suggest
to a Kentucky farmer that II would be
better for him not to plant any wheat.
We are not advising any one ON this
score; il Is not our province to become a
dictator, but We hope to present at times
subjects and ideas that We hope may help
our readers to think out their own prob
lens and find solution.
Very few farmers we know personally
make money on planting wheat, some
few do. but they harvest over 20 bushels
per acre, p and 2Obushels
Take the average fields of wheat over
the State, yielding II to II bushels, say
10 bushels, at 80 cents. Sl3. 40. This is
not as good AS 30 bushels of corn at Is
cents, $50.
Yes. but the farmer would respond.
We must have a rotation, we must SOW
wheat in order to get clover.
This is, in measure. true. A good
rotationis good farming, but how often
do Kentucky farmers get stand Of
clover, nowadays, in wheat? When 1t
fails as it has done for years, then what?
We must either look for some other
method OF obtaining clover or for some
thing else to take its place, and to find
something that will pay better than
wheat.
Prof Roberts, of the Experiment Sta
ton, contends. and Morgan Hughes has
worked out to his own satisfaction, that
clover seeded in August is better and
more sure than that sowed on the wheat
IN early spring. Again, it has been dem
onstrated that corn can follow corn, year
after year if crimson clover; or rye and
yetch is sowed in the corn in August.
turned under in the spring in time for
the corn. that this process will furnish
all that the clover will give for the
land, in nitrogen and humus. But we
must remember that constant grain
cropping will require a good supply Of
phosphate. This can be added cheaply
by using ground phosphate rock, turn
ed under with the green crop.
Another crop that should receive much
attention is barley Christian and War
rem counties have proved that barley
Yields tar better than wheat, 40 bushels
where wheat would make 20 bushels.
Barley is a good cash crop and, more, it
is fine feeding grain. which wheat Is
not. it is equal to corn for feeding.
One might ask. what would we do
with so much gram for feeding?
Hogs and cattle is our answer.
Crimson clover will pasture ten to
twenty pigs per acre during most of the
winter and all spring up TO time to pillow
it under. Sow crimson clover in the
corn or on vacant land, after fitting it
well. August Kentucky Farming.

A CARD.
To The Voters OF The Thirteenth Judicial
District.

| wish to express my thanks and deep
appreciation and gratitude for your
generous endorsement of my course as
Judge during the last four years. No
One ever had more loyal friends and
their confidence and support confer an
honor of which | feel that may be
justly proud. and for which, also, |
wish to thank you with the best that is
in my heart
For those who saw proper to support
my opponent | have nothing but the
kindest feeling. | am sure they felt
constrained to do so on account OF the
high regard and esteem in which they
held him. Neither in the heat Of the
contest nor at and other time have /
said one word to drtract from the Dig
nifty or worth of my opponent and so
instructed those who were working for
my success. The overwhelming major
ity by which was nominated, while ex.
eeedinglv gratifying to me, does not,
in my judgment, indicate any lack of
fitness or worth on the part of my OPP
ponent for the office which he sought,
but may be accounted for. in a great
measure, by the Democratic custom of
a faithful servant.
| shall enter upon the responsible
duties of the office with the kindest
feelings toward all and with the ear
nest purpose and desire to discharge
them honorably and impsrtiallv, and
with the hope and expectation of the
earnest and disinterested cooperation
Of all the citizens of the district
