BARkLEY DOOMED
BY kENTUCKIANS
Democrats Produce Another Fa-
vorite Son-Club Will Be
Organized.

special Dispatch 10 The Star.
LOUISVILLE. KY. March 3.-Eei-
dence OF interest among Kentucky
Democrats in the matter of the next
President OF the United States has
taken a surprising If not actually
paracoxical turn during the week. An
nouncement is made at Covington of
the projected organization of a Barkley
for President Club interested in adding
another to the galaxy OF favorite sons
who will be On view at Houston.
The promoters of the proposed club
want the Kentucky delegation instruc-
Barkiey OF this State, with Gov. Smith
OF New York as second choice. Cow
ington Is considered in wet" territory.
Mr.. Barkley is loyal dry. Politically
and otherwise, Covington is a long
way from Mr. Barkley's home district,
the first. which he represented in Con.
gress for many years. and which might
have been expected to originate
movement in his behalf.
The Covington project is in charge OF
John T. Murphy OF that city, stanch
friend Of the Senator, but II has not
yet had time TO get under way. Its
success remains 10 be seen. At any
rate, the suggestion that various ele-
rnents o. the Democratic party In the
State unite on a favorite son has now
been formally made The fact that
this suggestion happens TO come from
what has been TO Mr.. Barkley enemy
country, has hardly taken observers in
the State as much unawares as did a
development, here in Louisville earlier
tn the week, when two eminent Demo-
Gratis. both Baptists and prohibitionists
came out strongly for Gov. Smith.
They were James Garnett. former
attorney general OF the State and past
gYandmaster of Kentucky Masons. and
Dr. Arthur Wager, Sunday school teach
er, former president Of the Baptist
Denorninaiional College at Georgetown
Ky, and Governor Of Porto Rico under
President wilson. DR.. Wager asserted
that friends Of prohibition have moth

y DENVER, Colo. March 3.--In tho
first public statement he has made re-
speotlng the coming presidential cleo
ton, John T, Barnett of Denver. Demo-
cratic national committeeman for Colo
radio, last week put both feet down for
Al Smith As the Democratic standard
bearer and expressed the belief Smith
Is the only man with whom the Demo-
Gratis can win. The Democratic party
cannot 50 through another lcthargic
campaign such as it has In the past
without bringing serious and permanent
disaster to itself" Mr.. Barnett said,
'aad the only man mentioned for the
r~cSidcntial nomination that can keep
the party from a lukewarm campaign is
Al Smith"
Surveys South.
Summing up the results of his OBJ
servationS on recent trip through the
South and East, Mr. Barnett expressed
his firm belief that Gov. Smith will
get the nomination at Houston and will
triumph over the Republican candidate
IN November
First. I would like TO explain. Mr..
Barnett said, that my presence on the
auditorium stage a week ago Thursday
n.
who is opposing Smith for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination. was
merely IN my official capacity as ma
t!onal committeeman and that il did
not in any way signify. at the time or
now. that I approved OF Senator Reed
for the nomination.
Gov. Smith is the outstanding figure
today in the Democratic party. I be-
Geve he can carry Maryland. New Jer-
sey, New York. Rhode Island. Massa-
chusetts, Delaware and Connecticut
partly because Of the fact Democratic
Senators will be running for reelection
in SIX Of the seven States mentioned
Westerners Seen Friends.
1T is only natural. / believe, that
these senatorial candidates will string
along with the man they believe has
the best chance Of carrying the respec-
G"e States for the Democrats and that
man is Gov. Smith
Montana-after one or two ballots
for Senator Walsh - Wyoming. New
Mexico. Utah. Nevada, Arizona and
California will be in the Smith column
at convention time. Barnett believes,
and il is his conviction the New York
executive will go big in all these locali-
ties If nominated.

IN a proper manner.
1t is the opinion Of some people and
a good one too, that more trees should
be planted on the wharf to replace those
blown down by the hurricane. In the hur-
ricane OF 1916 the same thing happened,
but in certain public places the vacant
parts are still there. the stately trees are
gone, even on the country roads the
beautiful cocoanut trees that once adorn
ed the fine roads 90 both sides, some OF
them are missing for years. As we now
have a day in spring (Arbor Day. set
apart for the planting of trees, let US
learn to preserve them
The red light at the landing place on
the wharf was tOtn down by the hurrl-
cane, and a temporary one ought to be
put in its place, as the sailors ofrom the
ships find it difficult to guide their boats
to the landing place in the absence of the
light on these dark nights fhis lamp

nal to vessels, but with the white glass
on one side it also threw a bright lighto on
the wharf.
After being damaged by the hurricane,
which necessitated extensive repairs. the

open its doors to the public to night. Mo

NO RTDICULE INTENDED

Several of our coored friends have protested against
the publication recently, of oldtime advertisement
taken from a Missouri paper, in which number of
slaves listed for sale.
Their point is that the advertisement held the negro
up to ridcue and embarrassed the members of their
race Granting them the right to look at it that way,
we cannot agree with them, though quick to
declare that there intention of ridiculing the
negro. To ridcue the negro is to admit ones own ig
norance.
Everyone, including the coored people, knows that
negroes were sold slaves Everyone likewise knows
that the progress made by the negro since its
emancipation has been one Of the bright spots in Am
erican history.
The advertisement referred to did the objection
able word nlgger, and undesirable adjectives in des
2rblng the of the slaves We know it to be true
that the coored people object to the term "nigger"
and that the better class of white people, recognizing
the justice OF the objection refrain from using it. At
the same time 1t was common term in the nation dur
ing slave days, and is today, not only among whites
but among the negroes themselves. Bert Williams,
loved by the whites muchas by his own used
the term often IN recountng his negro stories and Bert
was proud of his race
In reprnting the advertisement, we were i'm
pressed primarily by the facts that early as
1916 Missourians showing the good sense to sell
out and to California, and that hard cider"
offered inducement to attend the SALE On these
two points alone any comment made. The slave
sale was secondary to u.s. if indeed we thought of it
at all.
Our colored friends said their people wish to forget
that they slaves and do not like to be re-
minded of it. This they declare is primarily for the
sake of their children. But negro youngsters study
American history and they cannot escape the knowl-
edge If anyone desires forget slavery it should be
the white and not the negro. There were too
many instances of unsefish loyalty and devotion
part of the negro, to wish them be forgotten. The
debts during that period all on the side of the
white race-the credits with the negro. Negroes
may recall slave days with something of sorrow, but
there should be shame. The shame is the white
mans.
AS for ridcung the negroes. we need cite no more
distant example than the Eastsde scnool in this CITY,
to confess that they compel by their achievements
only respect and our admiration, but good will

Hop along with me, she said.
Mr.. Longears tried, but just as
he had said, he slipped and stumbled
falling down more than once. For
though Bunty did the best she could,
the little orphan rabbit could not
