On my arrival in Washington on April IS, after conferences with Sen ator Cameron and Ashurst and Rep resentative Hayden, all of whom gave me every possible cooperation and help during my visit, we decided that as an agreement had been made re- garding the emergency tariff bill pro- yiding for no changes in schedule by the senate, it was next to impossible to secure an improvement in the schedule on long staple cotton. New ertheless, we felt it was worth while, in view of the extreme emergency of the matter, that desperate effort be made to secure this change, in the meantime laying constructive groundwork for a more just protec- ton Of the industry in the perma- nent tariff bill which is now being framed by the ways and means com mittee of the house.
 What is known as the Fordney emergency tariff bill is now before the finance committee of the senate, of which Senator Penrose is chair man.
 Little Chance for Change
 Senator Cameron and I first had conference with Senator Lodge, who had shown keen interest in this matter when I saw him last January. The senator explained to us the great difficulties of securing a. change in the emergency tariff bill at that late date but showed a genuine and sympathetic interest in the problems of the producers of long staple cotton, and at his sug- gestion Senator Cameron and I held a conference with Senator Penrose The latter told us very frankly that in his opinion it was entirely out of the question to attempt to oper any schedule in the emergency tariff bill and the only matters which the committee was prepared to consider were matters of detailed changes no affecting schedules, but mostly con- cerned with the anti dumping fea, ture of the present emergency tariff bill.
 "The next day, in company witl Congressman Hayden, 1 was granted special hearing before the specia committee on cotton of the ways an' means committee of the house. tn chairman of which is William R Green of Iowa.

GERMANS APPEALsTo ALLIES

LONDON, May 4@Dr. St. Hamer. the German ambassador here, tonight presented note to the foreign office protesting against the Polish coup in upper Silesia as an apparently con ce0ed effort to take the province by force and refusing all responsibIIity for the situation and its consequences. The note has also been communicated to the other allied governments.
 It declares that by the action of ir- responsible Polish agents and pro- vocateurs a strike has been engin- eered in upper Silesia through the whole mining and industrial areas. terrorizing the willing workers and preventing them from carrying out their tasks, while Polish Sokols and armed bands cover the country as far as Ratibor.
 The organized destruction of rail- ways and bridges. it is asserted. shows a pre-arranged plan for Polish insurrections.
 The inter allied commission, it is added. has recognized that the Ger man population has given no provo cation.
 Later Dr. St Hamer presented second note, stating that the situation had become extremely acute and re- citing details, according to which the insurgents had seized the industrial region. In fighting at Rybnik. two Italian officers and IS men were killed. Two mine directors and others have been murdered.
 The note says that all German of ficials, employees and directors have been compelled to abandon the indus trial establishments and that all mines and factories are at a stand still.

Kentucky Without Power.

Chief Justice White, in his
opinion dissenting from the ma
jority of the Supreme Court in
the Newberry case holding in
valid the Federal Corrupt Prac
tees Act, declared that in rend-
ering the law a nullity the Court
had left the several States with
out any means to regulate expen-
ditures and other practices of
candidates seeking nominations
for Federal office in primaries
and conventions.
The situation outlined by the
Chief Justice is particularly ap-
plicable to Kentucky, which, in
the absence of any Federal law,
under the decision of the highest
court is placed in the anomalous
position of being unable to regu-
late the conduct of a candidate
for United States Senator or
Congressman, although having a
drastic State law regulating the
practices of every body else from
Governor down to Constable who
may happen to be seeking nomi.
nations in the same primary.
When the Corrupt Practices
Bill was presented to the 1916
Legislature it contained provis-
ions making it applicable to sena-
torial and congressional candi-
dates in the primary; but these
were exempted on the ground
that the Federal Act fully pro-
vided for the campaign practices
of such candidates and that no
State regulations could be made
to apply to them. Thus did the
State wash its hands of any in
reference in Federal primaries.
AS the situation now stands, in
the absence of any COMPRESSION al
action that will endure the test
of the Supreme Court, Kentucky
has not line of law that affects
senatorial or congressional
candidate in the primary. 1t
cannot prescribe how much he
may spend or promise to get the
nomination. The fact that the
Supreme Court majority opinion
held that Federal primary regu-
lation and control was one for
the States to determine is ex-
pected to discourage congression-
al action and put the matter up
to the next Legislature for the
needed remedial legislation

why NOT GARNET?

why NOT GARNEII!
The tine has come when the
Democrats of the State should
begin to look about for a candi-
date for Governor in 1923. The
party has had its lesson and the
welfare of the state demands
that it be restored to power, but
it will not win, and should not,
unless it deserves to win. It
will not deserve to win unless it
dominates a ticket in whom the
people regardless of party have
confidence.
If shifty schemiDg politicians,
through the usual methods used
by them, should nominate a
ticket, as they have often done
in the past, it would be better
for the party IL no ticket at all
should be nominated. Unless
the Democratic voters in the
state take more interest in the
nomination of a ticket than they
did four years ago the willy pol
iticians will name the ticket and
we would probably have rep
etition ofswhat happened in our
last State election.
1t is necessary to have a new
deal and a square deal. If the
Democratic voters do not get
what they want, it is their own
fault. No one should blame the
slippery politician for nominal,
ing those of his ilk. He is not
to blame.i' Like the race-track
gambler or the poker-player, it
is his game. If he succeeds the
fault is with the voters.
There are many men who
might be named for Governor
whom the people would gladly
follow, but we have one in mind
who stands out as pre-eminently
fit. We refer TO James Garnett,
formerly of Columbia, now of
Louisville. He is the honorable
son of an honorable sire. He is
a businessman who has made a
success in everything he has un-
dertaken. He knows the needs
of the state as well as any one
in it. and knowing what should
be done, he has the courage to
to do it. He isiin the prime of
life and is not looking for job.
A lawyer of great ability, he en-
Joys a lucrative and growing
practice. Twice, while yet a
young man, he was elected Coun-
ty Attorney as a Democrat, in
his native county which is large
ly Republican. He was elected
to the highestss position in. the
gift of one of the great frater.
mites and he filled the position
with distinction and with honor
to himself and those who thus
honored him. In 1911 he was
nominated and elected Attorney
General. He held that position
for the full term and no one has
yer filled it with greater credit.
During his official life he served
the people and many of the most
progressive laws which have
cen enacted in previous years
