THE BOY ON THE BURNING DECK

Senator McCumber, Chairman of
the Finance Committee, is the Casa
blanca of the Senate. The hot-shot
of the Republican and Independent
press as we'll as the explosive shells
of the wicked Democratic newspa-
pers have set fire to the deck which
is burning beneath his feet, but
Senator McCumber refuses to desert,
and with his coat-tails afire hurls
back def at the assailants of the
Profiteers' Tariff bill, who he con-
ceives to be only the propagandists
of the department stores. Here are
the exact words of Casablanca Nc
Cumber:
Possibly before we get through
we will see what is back of the pa
pers that are railing against this
tariff bill. I will say to the Senator
most candidly that 1 do not believe
the committee is going to be STAN
peded by anything which comes
from a press that represents a
propaganda that is making from a
thousand to three thousand. per
cent upon it's imports, and that pos
sibly will be presented to the
American people before we get
through"

THE HOUSE. AND THE PRESI'
DENT

With proper respect for the opin-
ions of Democrats who think that
the Democratic party would be in a
better position for 1924 if it cut
down the Republican majority in
House of Representatives this fall
than it would be if the Democrats
elected a majority of the House, we
beg to differ and to offer the fol-
lowing facts in connection with pre-
cedent:
The first President of the United
States elected by the Democrats
following the Civil War was Sam
uel j. Tilden, 1876; we did not seat
him but we elected him. In 1874,
the Democrats carried the House.
The next Democratic President
was Grover Cleveland in 1884. In
1882 the Democrats carried the
House.
The next Democratic President
was Grover Cleveland in 1892. In
1890 the Democrats carried the
House.
The next Democratic President
was Woodrow Wilson in 1912. In
1910 the Democrats carried the
House.
The next Democratic President
was Woodrow Wilson in 1916. In
1914 the Democrats carried the
House, as they did in 1912.
The only time the precedent was
broken was in 1888 when Harrison
was elected against Cleveland who
was running the second time. The
Democrats carried the House in
1886, and alothough they lost out in
the presidential election in 1888,
Cleveland had majority of the pop
ular vote that year. So, in a man
ner of speaking, the precedent was
only partly broken.
1t was a good thing for the Demo
cratic party to have the House in
1874, 1882, 1890, 1910 and 1914,
and it will be equally good, in our
opinion, to have the House in 1922.
And remember that all the signs
this year say: This is a Democratic
Year.

A SLOW BEGINNER

Sands of Pleasure moved up with
the first half mile and wore down
Tomahoi in the last sixteenth u
Thus the race chart repeats what
has come to be an old story to turf
patrons who know the horses as in
dividuals rather than as mere names
and numbers. TOmahoi happened to
be the victim in this instance. But
better horses have been surprised
and chargined by the final onrush of
the old campaigner.
The list of the slow beginners
among the racers is extensive. Many
steeds able to close with a rush are
unable to get into winning stride un-
til the race is nearly over. Then
comes what the turf writer's some
times call the debated rattle" the
term being used when the squirt is
just short of overtaking the leader.
The slow beginner gives his back
ers great concern as he lags at the
barrier and trails his field. The ex-
perienced players learn to expect the
development of great speed near the
finish line, but it is real strain on
weak heart to await the signs of
increased velocity. However, the
slow beginner is more of a horse
mans horse than is the front rum
ner. This latter type, asexemplified
by Refugee II and Flip, leap away at
the rise of the barrier. They quickly
get a lead of a dozen lengths and
the novices in the stand are con
WINGED that the race isover. But the
front runners seldom hold their ad-
vantage. Slowly but surely the gap
closes and the steadier horses come
on relentlessly.
The front runner as a rule is
faint-hearted. He runs his race if
no severe opposition is met, but
will quit when collared. The ideal
racer gets away promptly and runs
an even race, clicking along at a
rate calculated to wear down the
front runners and ward off the ter
rifle attack of the slow beginners
Sands of, Pleasure could not hope to
beat Firebrand or EXterminatOr,
but in lesser company he is always
worth consideration.
Incidentally, the old horse must
have a world of courage and deter
He has won many an ap-
parently hopeless contest and it
must give him a glimpse of horse
heaven to win in the last few lung

WHISKAWAY WINNER IN BIG
$4,000 RACE

Whiskaway, Harry Payne Whit
ney's great colt, which a week ago
gave Norwich the only defeat of his
racing career repeated the triumph
Saturday. when he swept past the
wire, winner of the $4,000 Special
Latonia race for three-year-olds be-
fore a record-breaking crowd of 5O,-
600 persons.
The chestnut son of Whiskbroom
II defeated the best field the Nation
could send against him in what
probably was the greatest race for
three-year-olds staged in decade.
Will Perkins Thibodeaux, rank
outsider in the betting, and a Ken
tucky-bred horse, finished second
in driving finish with Whiskaway,
crossing the wire a half length be-
hind the winner. Norwich was
third, ten lengths behind Whiska-
way. Pillory, winner of the $780,
600 Preakness stakes, was fourth and
Deadlock was fifth. The mile and
a quarter was run in 2:02 As,
which was within one-fifth of a sec
ond of the track record.
Whiskaway, winner of the Ken
lucky Special at Latonia Saturday,
is another of the great thoroughbreds
whichhas pranced the fields of the
Bluegrass near Lexington. Inaugu-
raj, the dam of Whiskaway, was at
the farm of Harry Payne Whitney
on the Paris road, once a part of
Elmendorf, when Whiskaway was
foaled. Kentucky bred horses were
represented in the Special by
Whiskaway, Deadlock and Thibo-
dauX.

JULY 18TH TO 18TH
SULPHUR BUSTED ON CLOTHING
PREVENTS CHIGGER ATTACK

Rare days in June, July and Au-
gust, tempt nature lovers into the
woods and fields and by the sides of
babbling brooks. Frequently they
return to undergo several days of
acute torment due to attacks of
chiggers, the tiny mites whose larvae
attach themselves to the skin in any
exposed spot.
The bureau of Entomology of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture has made a careful study of
the habits of chiggers and methods
of control, and suggests two ways
of reducing the discomfort caused
by chiggers.
The first step is to clothe the feet
and ankles properly when going into
the woods where chiggers are likely
to occur, by wearing heavy high-top-
ped boots instead of low shoes, thick
stockings or even spiral puttees. The
second method is to apply repellents
either directly on the skin or on the
hose and undergarments before start
ing out for "hike" or a picnic.
Flowers of sulphur is ordinarily used
for this purpose. A hot bath with a
thick lather Of soap taken immedi
ately after returning from an outing
often kills chigger larvae on the
body.
Palliatives, such as sulphur ONT
ment, alcohol, ammonia, cooking
soad, dilute solution of iodine, or
camphor are of use chiefly because
of their acaricide or mite-killing &C
ton, or because of their antiseptic
quality, or for both reasons.

RRADIO WILL BE BLESSING TO
THE BLIND

Radio and the broadcasting of
news and concert music through the
air, was declared to be a Godsend
to blind persons by Charles E. Com
stock, of Springfield, Illinois, sight
less from infancy, who heads the
division for the visitation of adult
blind, connected with the State De-
partment of Public Welfare.
"The use of radio equipment by
blind persons" Mr.. Comstock said,
sis undoubtedly the greatest bless
ing and comfort occurring in this
era" He declared that this new
invention makes it possible for sight
less persons to receive news daily
without having it read to them; that
the State now has paid readers at
the School for the Blind at Jackson
Vile and the Industrial Home for
the Blind in Chicago.

equipment" Mr.. Comstock said,
"their services can be dispensed
with. And not only can the blind
man now have the advantage of
current news, but he can listen to
concerts and lectures. 1 have al
ready equipped my home with radio
and am receiving news direct from
central station in Chicago, which
makes a speciality of sending out
bulletins for blind persons. For the
past several evenings l have been
listening to concerts given in De-

Use of radio in the State School
at Jacksonville and the Industrial

plated, according to announcement
by Judge S. H. Jenkins, director of

death of DR.. j. N. Mccormack, who
died May a., still in harness after
more than forty years of service to
Kentucky, first as member and
later as head of it's State Board of
Health, have been received in Lou

DR.. E. Eliot Harris, of New York
City, DR.. Holman Taylor, of Fort

ISOLATION, the resolution says of his
services to Kentucky:
CDR. Mccormack formulated and
established a model law for the pro-
lection of the health and welfare of

THE PARTNERSHIP SPIRIT

The thing that has broken up
many farm homes has been lack of
partnership between the farmer and
his boys. Father might call the
calf the property of his boy, but
when the calf was sold father took
the cash. The boys under such con-
ditions grew up to feel that they
had no share in the farm.
The astute farmer makes his boy
his partner from the day he is old
enough to hold and operate garden
tools or feed any farm animal. He
gives that boy something of his very
own, from which he can reap his
own personal reward. AS that boy
grows up his share of the farm en-
terprise constantly increases. That
boy will not usually go off anywhere
else.

THE NEGRO PROBLEM UP AGAIN

1t is not quite sixty years since
the Emancipation Proclamation was
signed. Well within the Lifetime of
many now living the negro race was
practically totally ignorant, it's &C
tivities confined entirely to day la
Dor in the fields, it's ideals repre-
sented by place to sleep and some
thing to eat, it's ambitions nothing
beyond creature comfort.
In the Nations Capital the sew
enth annual negro race congress has
just come to an end. This congress,
organized in September, 1916, has
for it's main purpose the uplifting Of
the colored race. Through it's chan
nels have been spread doctrines and
ideals for the inspiration of the COL
ored people. Prominent negro edu-
Gators, lawyers, physicians, and bus
mess men attended. Questions af-
fecting the social, economical, civic,
intellectual and moral life of the
colored race were discussed and
declaration Of principles for the
American negro adopted. Prof. KEEL
ly Miller, of Harvard University,
chairman of the commission which
drafted the principles, said that it
is the aim of the congress to make
them the aims and ideals of the
race. ~ > ses;L a. ~ i -: ga ~ ~ ~
Is it not a wonderful record for
less than sixty years? Is it not
great tribute to the means which
has raised a race, but a few hun
dred years removed from African
savagery and but fifty-nine from
slavery, to a position in which it
can hold a race congress, formulate
ideals, look with pride upon several
universities, which can muster in it's
ranks an educator a President was
proud to entertain, poet read by
all the world, and solid citizens of
worth and property?
If ever a country had a race prob
lem on it's hands, these United States
had it after Appomattox. If ever
education had triumph, it is in the
work the schools have done in pro-
noting the welfare of the negro
race, and thus the welfare of all
Americans, who have found in the
negro school, the negro college, the
negro university, the means for
making those who were slaves and
useful citizens.

FORD SLASHES PRICE OF FORDSON TRACTOR
 NEARLY 40 PER CENT

SitUng Tn his office at Dearborn, Michigan, and talking into a radio telephone receiver to Ford dealers attending a tractor industrial show at Cleveland, Ohio, Henry Ford made the first announcement of the cut of $230 in the price of Fordsoa trac- tors, effective January 27.
 In speaking of the strides made by the farming industry in adapting new and modern machinery to cut down the costs of production, MT. Ford said
 Being a farmer, I am vitally in terested in all farm improvements. md with this in mind, have spent years of time and millions in money in the development of the Fordson tractor, which I really think is one of the biggest possible helps to pro- sitable farming.
 "As a general thing. the farmers ton during the past IS months. but the production costs of farm products are still too close to selling prices to allow fair margins of profit What the farmer must do to put his Ibus- ness on paying basis is to lower the cost of planting. cultivating and harvesting of his crops. This alone will increase his profits, and with this thought in mind it has been our constant aim to lower the price of tha Eordcon So that every farmer in the land could afford to own one.
 Though in making this big reduc- ton we have taken upon ourselves gigantic task in the reduction Of manufacturing costs, still that task, in my opinion, is not larger than the farmers problem of todays and am glad to do my part in bringing about ] period of increased prosperity for
