o. X. on Packer Merger?

Washington, Nov. l7.-Gov-
rrrment officials now appear in
clined to approve the request of
j. Ogden Armour for a merger Of
his packing concern with Nor
ris 4 Co.
Should approval be granted, it
would be accompanied by a
warningrthat tx new concern
would be subject to all provisions
of the packer control act and
that any attempt by the combine
to use its power to restrain COM
mercc would result in prompt
prosecution. 1t would be made
plain that in not raising objec-
tons to the merger, the govern
ment would not be giving blanket
approval to anything the COM
bine might do in the future.
One of the large farm organi-
cations is considering going on
record for a combine of all the
packers, under strict govern
mental regulation, believing that
costs of marketing and packing
could be reduced SO, the farmer
could be paid higher prices for
his stock and the consumer ben
eft from lower meat prices.

FIRST DISTRICT EDITORS
MEET IN PADUCAH

Nearly every editor in the First Cong
ressiOnal district was i'm Paducah Mon
day night TO subscribe fealty To this
districts congressman, Alhen W. Bark
ley. who recently made public announce
mcnt of his intention 90 enter the race
for governor next year.
The editors were entertained at sup
per at the de luxe Palmer House after
which they adjourned % the Rotary
Club room for round table discussion
of the most effective means of contri-
buting their support 20 Mr.. Barkley i'm
his forthcoming race.
MIR. Barkley began by making a short
talk. He gave his reasons for running.
his line OF campaign and his intentions
ON conducting the high office II sue
ccsSfuL The talk was very refreshing.
He dill not deal in generalities, plati-
tudcs or sonorous phrases. Neither did
he exude the oiliness Of the born poll
tician or the smirk and smile that have
i'm several instances-tO many-gained
high favor among the voting population.
And all this is well.
Alben Barkley Is sturdily. ruggedly
honest. He is not going to make prom
ises he knows he canot fulfill. and this
is another refreshing circumstance. It's
so different from the way the ordinary
candidate starts out. His idea is To
go at his task ard-headedly and do
better than is expected of him.
He is going into the campaign clear
or any extravagant promises of state
crft or promises to any clique or fac
ton. Mr.. Barkley Is not a machine
man. AS he frankly stated. he wouldn't
know what 10 do with a machine If he
had one. and he doesn't want one. Far
rather would he go down In defeat than
to be embarrassed In his office by being
plagued or haunted by tainted methods
In putting him there.
When the people OF a state get behind
a man OF this kind they help their own
interests more than his. We invite the
people of Kentucky to take stock in
MIR. Barkley. Get acquainted with him.
Read back ON him. invoice him now,
and lend your support through him "a
the future cleanliness OF Kentucky's
government.

about one mile north of Fulton, and
the shot was fired at the car shortly af-
| ter passing them. 1t was miracle
that one of the six passengers was not
seriously injured There was no cause
