wester. The final race is to be held Monday.
 Today's postponement came as a bitter surprise to great holiday crowd that had gathered hoping to see the two and two tie run off. But the racing shippers obviously consid- cred discretion was the better part of valor, for both quickly signalled mo" in response to an inquiry from the committee boat whether there was objection to postponement.
 Both sloops mad worked their way out through the heavy sea under light sails--Shamroc travelling under main sail, small working top sail and storm jib, while Resolute carried only her main sail and storm jib. They were bobbing about near the start like chips and were heeled over by the wind until their lee decks were awash when the postponement signal sent them scurrying back.
 Today's was the second postpone ment because of heavy weather in the history of the contests. The first was in 1903 when Shamrock III ob- Jected to racing in a northeast gale.

SOUTHERN SCOUTS LIKE THE WORK OF
 JIMMY ALEXANDER
Former White SOx, Now With Clarksdale, May Go
 Higher
(By Angus l.. parker)

"Jimmie' Alexander is making good with the Clarksdale team of the Del ta Independent League, and not only making good, but has the Southern League scouts giving him the once over and trying to get his "John Hen "" on the dotted line.
 Recently Scout Bradshaw of the Chattanooga Lookouts made a trip to Clarksdale for the express purpose of looking "Baby'' Gas he is called by the Delta fans and scribes), over, and after watching him perform in sev- eral games, immediately produced a contract for next year, but as yet Jimmie has not signed.
 Jimmie is hitting in the lead-off position for Clarksdale and is con- sidered the best fielding third-sack- CT in the circuit. He is also bust ing the old pill on the nose in time ly fashion and is considered a dan geIous hitter.
 Pine Bluff has another product who is also playing a great game. Carl Shelby is pitching for the Heav- ener Blues, a fast semi-pro team in Oklahoma. Shelby was held back for some time on account of illness, but he has regained his strength and is turning in a number of shut out games for the Blues. This boy is bound to go higher in year or two.

PASSING THE BUCK

Republicans, wet, dry and pseudo
dry have been engaged in the divert
ing pastime of passing the huck"
on the prohibition enforcement act.
Knowing that practically all of the
milk has been squeezed out of the
prohibition cocoanut, so far as ap-
peal to the dry section is concerned
by national legislation, and wishing to
propitate whatever wet strength they
attained in the 1919 landslide, they
have desired all along to give the
Senate Democrats the not altogether
desirable duty of taking the initia-
tive in enacting enforcement legis-
lation, particularly as the druggists
of the State have let up a great howl
over some provisions of the bill.
Senate Democrats have regarded
this as an administration matter, for
the Republicans to thresh out among
themselves, well knowing that the
Democratic party's attitude on the
prohibition issue was satisfactorily
set forth by party platform and per-
formance. The antics of the House

FARMING QUALIFICATIONS

Farmers, for some reason or other,
have always been regarded by city
dwellers as mentally and economical
ly inferior. There is not so much of
this supercihous attitude now as
there used to be, but there is plenty
of it left. To most young fellows in
the city the average farmer is a
"Rube" or a ''Hick" or .'Hayseed," |"
as it was in the beginning and will be
until city folk rise above their own
ignorance and proverbiality. There is
likewise a common notion, among ur-
ban dwellers that anybody can run a
farm, and that the city man by mere
virtue of his innate superiority can
do it, offhand, better than the farmer
IS doing.
One of this superior class, a city
bookkeeper, wrote to a Virginia Ear
mer asking what was required for sg-
ricultural success. The farmer
thought it over carefully and then,
according to the Country Gentleman,
mentioned these as the main quail
tications:
"a farmer must know about soils,
soil drainage. soil chemistry, soil

any issue demanding leadership OF
statesmanship are indeed ludicrous.

craftsmanship are indeed ludicrous.
The good roads bill, as agreed on
by the administration forces, left
many sections Of Kentucky practi-
cally "holding the bag" and unpro-
tected. Democrats refused to pass
this bill with "a amendments in a
single morning, without giving it due
consideration, but it was railroaded
through the House, and then put up to
the Senate for some deliberative ac-
ton.
The inevitable kicks which will fol-
low from communities and sections
which did not get what they expected
will surely be laid at the door of the
administration and the Republican
majority in the House, which passed
a measure affecting generations of
Kentuckians to come, and involving
the expenditure of millions of dollars
annually, without even having the
matter printed and laid on the desks
of the members.
A hard fight in behalf of the mini
mum wage law, which is designed to
give adequate protection to women
and minors of both sexes, was made
before the Senate Committee on I'm
migration, Labor and Manufacturing
by committee of representative men
and women, including Col. P. II. Cal
lahan, Mrs. Morris Belknap and DIR.
Gaydner, of the Southern Baptist
Seminary.
Colonel Callahan, leading Demo
crat of the Falls City, riddled the ar
guments of the opponents of the
measure to the effect that the bill
would drive manufacturers out of the
State, and gave a dozen reasons for
It's enactment.
A letter written by William Hey
burn, who is one of the "organiza-
ton" candidates for Republican dele
gates to the national convention from
the Fifth District, was read, in which
Mr. Hepburn was quoted as saying
that working girls are in more danger
when paid high wages than when they
draw only the nominal pay of the ap-
prentice. This unusual argument |
against paying a larger wage to
women workers was refuted by the
advocates of the bill, who took the
view that all girls are entitled to the
right of living wage, assured by a
minimum wage law and which was
described by Mr.. Hepburn.
Republican members of the House
had the minimum wage bill set back
tT having it recommitted after it
had been favorably reported by the
committee in that branch, the motion
to recommit being made by Repre-
sentative R. G. Bryson, Republican,
of Covington. Advocates of the
measure claim that when women get |
the vote they will not soon forget
that opposition to their bill was fos-
tered by the majority of the House.

on, it is surely the city man who not
only lacks the farmers independ-
ence, but whose life has narrowed
him to the doing of one thing and
left him otherwise helpless.

CORUNNA NOMINATIONS

Mayor Harvey Allan, City Clerk
Joseph Shultz and City Treasurer
Phoebe Shick were renominated for
another term by the Union Citizens
party caucus at the court house in
Corunna Monday. In view of the
fact that there is only one ticket in
the field this year, their nominations
and those of the candidates for ward
offices are tantamount to election.
There wereonly two contests in
the city, both being for supervisor.
In the first ward, w. A. McMullen,
who has served ten years on the
board and was chairman during the
past year, defeated Bert Rose, who
is also a former member of the
board, 78 to AZ.
In the second ward, Clark d. Smith
was nominated for supervisor, defeat
ing Bert Lyman by three votes.
There were no contests for nomi-
nation for aldermen and Edward
Chaffee of the first ward. Cyrus Will
liams of the second, and Alfred Smith,
of the third, were renominated. Supr.
w. j. Simeon of the third ward was
also renominated without opposition.

Committee will Not Report Bean
Bill.

Washington, March 16.-The house
committee on ways and means has
for the third time turned down Rep
resentative Fordney's bill for protec
tive tariff on beans. Chairman Ford
ney stated today that the only possibili.
ty of eDacting legislation providing tor
a tariff on beans was to wait until the
next election when he believes, a
greater number Of protective tariff ad.
vocates will be elected to congress and
the nation will have a Republican
president.
Hearings on the bean industry were
held last October, at which time it was
contended that the bean industry of
Michigan was doomed unless adequate
protection was given against foreign
competition.
Three times since the hearings last
October Mr.. Fordney has called the
ways and means committee together
and tried to induce it to favora0ly re.
port out some bill to protect the bean
growers. Each time he was overruled
by the solid vote of the Democratic
members and the votes of Republican
members, who come from cities.
Even though such bill would pass
congress it is the belief of Chairman
tordney that it would not be signed by
President Wilson Detroit Free Press.

There seems to be little inclination
among any of the members of the
Foreign Relations Committee of the
Senate, regardless of party, to speed
action on the nomination of Balm
bridge Colby as Secretary of State.
The matter was referred to the COM
mittee for investigation and report,
but its consideration has been post
poned by unanimous consent of the
committee members. Neither the
Democrats nor Republicans relish the
idea of placing in charge of our for
