AT LlNcoLN's HOME ss.ssnzs

On Monday Americas two lead
ing statesmen, Woodrow Wilson
and John Sharp Williams, met at
the old home of Abraham Lincoln
near Hodgensville, KY, to pay
tribute to the life and character
of one of Americas most dis
tinguished citizens = Abraham
Lincoln. President Wilson ac-
copied the home as a gift to be
preserved by the United States
and in his address he reviewed
the life and character of Mr..
Lincoln.
His speech could not have been
excelled by any one except our
own John Sharp Williams, whose
tribute to Lincoln will always
stand out as the most complete
and truthful review of the life
and works of the war President.
The speeches of both were
classics and the history of Lincoln
was enriched by productions
from Americas greatest minds.

TICK ERADICATION

With the presence of the boil
weevil in such destructive num-
bers as this season has found
him in the county we have cause
to congratulate ourselves that we
have practically completed the
work of tick eradication in the
county.
OF course there are some herds
of cattle in the county that have
not yet been declared free, but
the great majority of them are
free and only a short time will
elapse before the county can be
listed among the free counties
of fhe state.
The cattle tick has been proven

Mr.. WILSON ACCEPTS

At Shadow Lawn, New Jersey,
President Wilson was on Satur-
day morning officially notified of
his nomination by the democrats
for the Presidency.
The speech Of acceptance of
the President was delivered be-
fore an audience of twenty thous-
and who had gathered from all
over the country to hear him.
The Presidents speech force
fully set out the achievements of
the democratic party in legisla-
ton during the three and one
half years it has been in power.
He reviewed the legislation which
has revolutionized the business
methods of the country and plac-
ed the business enterprises in
dependent Of the money powers
which under the republican rule
so long dictated the business
policy of the country. His speech
was in striking contrast to the
speech Of Judge Hughes which
fell like a pail on the eager sup
porters of his party.
The party in every section feel
assured now that President Will
son will win.

to be one OF the greatest agencies
of loss known to the southern
farmer. There is no greater
waste on the farm than through
the loss from cattle on account
Of the tick. Because the cattle
tick has always been in the south
is no reason why it always should
be. The Federal government
scientifically investigated the
destructive qualities of the tick
and determined to eradicate it.
The government. as we all un-
derstand.. goes about doing things
in a safe and methodical way.
When it began in 1906 to UNDER
take the work of systematic
eradication, its first step was to
quarantine the infested area.
The territory included at that
time 728. SAB square miles. 1t
has since been reduced to 444,-
022 square miles and tens Of
thousands Of miles are being
freed from quarantine each year.
1t is obvious therefore. that the
tick can be driven out.
Through organized county ac-
ton the man with a few cows
can eradicate the ticks from his
farm, If he has them, so much
cheaper than he could by build
ing individual dipping watts. Only
the man with large herds of cat
tie can afford to do this. For
this reason the government has
adopted the county plan of Grad
ication. With the tick eradi-
Gated the one or two cow man
receives, among other things, a
new source of income. Cooper
alive diaries are being established
all over the country that will buy
the butter fat from the farms
where heretofore the surplus but
ter was sold at a cheap price or
traded for merchandise at any
price the st%orekeeper felt dis
posed to give.
Now. the milk is being collect
ed every morning on automobile
trucks and deposited at the dairy
at a very little cost to the farm
err who is milking a few cows.
Iowa. the richest farm state in
the Union, has been brought to
this position through the means
of cooperative diaries. They
have no ticks to destroy the eff
fective value of their cows and
the feeding and care is returned
in full measure without having
to set aside a toll for these pes
tiferous leeches.
Lee county is now making a
great effort to enter the list of
beef producing cattle, the Here
ford. the H~olstein, Poll Angus
and Short Horn are being bought
for breeding purposes and the
tick infested scrub of today will
soon be supplanted by the high
grade beef cattle which will
bring readily from one to two
cents a pound on the market
more than the measly cattle that
we are shipping today. We have
been put to some inconvenience
and some loss through the pro-
cess of dipping, but the future
will soon convince US of the wis
dom OF the step taken by the
people to rid the county from
ticks.

CONGRESS MEETS THE ISSUE

CONGRESS MEETS THE ISSUE
Through the influence of Pres
ident Wilson congress, for the
present at least, settled the con-
troversy between the railroads
and their employees and averted
the threatened strike. The par
ties to the controversy were I'M
yielding and only through the
personal influence of the presi-
dent was the country saved frofl
the great inconvience and loss
resulting from a tieup of the
railroads.
BY suspending the rule con-
gress passed an act establishing
the eight hour day for railroad
employees. This was done in
obedience to the demands of
the employees OF the railroads.
Both the roads and their
employees were arbitrary and
refused to yield from their posi-
tions and meet the issue as Pres
ident Wilson suggested. Failing
in this there was nothing left
except the power of the law to
keep the railroads running. The
people are not satisfied with the
result of this settlement, and
there will be a reckoning in the
near future, The transportation
Of this country cannot be stopped
at the will of a few men, let
them be railroad magnates or the
men who run the trains. Con
gress will go further into this
matter and provide a means by
which these controversies fire.
quently arising shall be settled.
The controversy between the
railroads and the brotherhoods
have advanced the day when the
government must own and oper-
ate the railroads of the country.
This will be done before many
years, and the question of dis
putes over hours Of service and
wages will be a thing of the
past.
When Uncle Sam gets hold of
the roads he will operate them in
a business-like way. Employees
will serve on account Of merit
and efficiency and the rules Of
the civil service will apply from
the highest to the lowest en-
ployee. There will be no watered
stock to pay dividends on and
the freight and passenger rates
will be placed on a basis to meet
operating expenses and providing
for a sufficient dividend to pay
the interest on the bonds. The
roads will not be run to make
money out of, but for the con-
venience and in the interest of
the people.
A suggestion Of this kind ten
years ago would have been con-
sidered without a ground upon
which to base the prophecy, but
recent events have brought the
people around to looking the
matter squarely in the face. The
public interest demands that the
roads be taken over and operated
by the government as soon as
practicable.
Government bonds in the hands
of the stockholders will be a more
desirable asset than the stock
which fuctuates at the will of
stock brokers and railroad secur-
ity manipulators who make their
fortunes breaking the roads.

SKIRMISHING FOR POSITION

Nearly two days of the big convention have passed.
and in both the preliminary battles will have been pretty
we'll hreshed out by tonight Tomorrow there Will be
something doing, though is hardly probable the seec
ton of candidate in either or both will be made until
Saturday.
Yesterday the progressives held high carnival for
some hours and worked up intense enthusiasn-amOng
themselves The radicals are determined to name R00Se-
ve and let the republicans do what they please about in
dOrsng him. Perkins, the progressive chairman, and
the conservative wing are against this, and think they
can keep the other wing in leash until Friday and until
the republicans make the first move Both wings say 1t
is Roosevelt nothing" the only difference being as to
the methods to be used in securing his nomination.
The sporting element expresses its opinion as to the
result by putting money on Roosevelt against the
field Of course like everybody else the sports are only
guessing but their coin backs their judgment
In the republican camp they are apparently waiting
for some political Moses to lead them out Of the wilder
ness in which they are hopeessy lost Who that leader
will be is anybodys guess Judging by many pieceoeIS
If Roosevets followers cannot force his nomination 1t
will be dark horse. The combination against Hughes
is strong and if he cannot get away with it, the members
of the combination will not consent to throw Their
strength to any Of their rivals. However the Capital
Journal readers can do their own guessing and are as
liable to guess right as anyone The wOmens party was
