Matters of Public Policy Section 1 We the Democrats of Kentucky in delegate convention duly nsombled anti held in the city of Louisville Kentucky on August 15 1911 do hereby pledge anew our faith in and devotion to the time honored and eternal principles of our party first promulgated in the Declaration of Independence and since reaffirmed in successive platforms of the party and we especially reaffirm our faith in and devotion to the National Democratic platform adopted at Denver Colorado in the year 1908 RepublicanPresident thembywillfully disregarded their preelection promises to the effect that they would revise downward the unjust tariff system and would relieve the masses of the people of the heavy burdens of unjust and unnecessary taxation tarifflawpassed which law was a gross breach of the Republican President and his political party This tariff law In order to enrich the few increased the bur dons of the many and authorized those favored few not only to continue but to increase their robbery of the many under the forms of law Sec 3 We point with pride to and heartily indorse the patriotic record made by the present Democratic members of Congress and Democratic Sena tors in their efforts over determined Republican opposition to in good faith oppressiveRepubUcanmasses of the people and we Invite all to contrast the aims and record of the Democrats in the house and senate of the present session of congress with the alms and record of the Republicans and especially with the Republican ses slon of 1909 which enacted the PayneAldrich tariff law We especially Indorse the record of our Democratic congressmen and sen ator from Kentucky for their fidelity in keeping the promises of their party and representing the people and not the interests and we denounce the record of the Republican congressmen and senator from Kentucky because they have represented not the people nor have they sought to relieve their burdens but have countrySec and the Democratic party in appealing for the support of the electorate of the state eagerly Invites an intelligent comparison of the records it has made with those made by its political adversary during the temporary occasions it has controlled the affairs of the state As against the Republican record In Kentucky of assassination bloodshed and disregard of law we present the Democratic picture of peace scrupulous regard for human life and a strict observance of and respect for law as against an empty treasury and rejection and shaving of honest demands against the state we present a picture of a magnificent state capitol erected and paid for without any extra tax and every just claim against the state promptly met and paid in full as against platform pledges and promises bro promisesfaithfullya record of sincerity fidelity competency and statesmanship We charge the Republican party both in the state and In the nation with gross extravagance and willful waste In the expenditure of the peoples money and we pledge ourselves to retrenchment and reform and to an economical business administration of public affairs Sec 5 We are in favor of a direct primary election law providing that all primary elections shall be conducted under lawful authority and at public expense and to be regulated in the same manner and subject to the same penalties for violations as in caso of regular elections practlce and which shall provide for the compulsory publication in detail under heavy penalties of the campaign expenses of every candidate for public office Sec 7 We favor the enacting of such additional laws as will make our entire common school system more efficient and more practical We pledge our support to our school system and the educational institu tions of the state wisely and economically administered Money appropriated For the education of the people is an Investment and not an expense school trustees school boards and all school officials should be held rigidly respon Bible for adequate returns on every dollar so Invested We charge the Repub lican party with neglect of and Indifference toward our school system Recognizing that a large majority of the teachers of our common schools ire women and that women are now eligible to be elected school trustees county school superintendent and to hold office and are frequently so elected we favor the extension to women of suffrage In all school elections subject to such wise regulations as to qualifications as the general assembly may deter mine See 8 We favor such laws as will under appropriate penalties destroy nil COlrupt lobbying seeking to Influence any legislative body in the Common wealth on the subject of legislation or the election of officers by It or In any other matter but we recognize the constitutional right of the people to peti tlonand to be Impartially heard on all questions Sec 9 We favor under wise and proper restrictions the creation of a State Utilities Commission having ample powers to discharge Its duties Sec 10 We favor a change in the present method of selecting the prison commissioners of the state and the removal of all politics from the manage ment of penal Institutions While commending the present board of prison commissioners for Its successful management of the Institutions under its care we recognize that the system of election by the legislature under which they are elected Is unwise and we therefore favor such a change as will place their appointments in the hands of the governor subject to confirmation by the sen ate or some other method such as the general assembly may provide Sec 11 We favor a law requiring that a uniform system of accounting be Installed and conducted in all public offices charged with the collection and disbursement of public moneys Sec 12 We favor the general assembly submitting to a vote of the people whether or not they desire to adopt an amendment of our State Constitution broadening the powers of the general assembly so that It may classify prop erty for the purposes of taxation but we are opposed to any law the effect of which would be to lighten the burdens of taxation on the wealthy and on cor porations at the expense of the poor the farmer or the laboring man Sec 13 Temperance is essentially a moral nonpolitical and social ques tion and should not be made a partisan issue between political parties We favor the extension of the present local option law as applied to the sale of liquors which has been upheld by our highest court as valid and eon stitutional so that the citizens of each and every county In the state may der terminI for themselves whether splritcus vinous or malt liquors may be sold thereinSec 14 We favor organization and cooperation among the farmers and laborers of the state and tho enactment of such constitutional laws as will protect them from the greed and oppression of the trusts and monopolies or the country which are the direct fault of Republican legislation Sec 15 We favor such wise and c onservative laws as will encourage road and bridge building In Kentucky and We favor reasonable state aid for the construction of roads and bridges but only on condition that each county or local community which Is primarily benefited shall first do its part and dis charge its duty to itself In this regard Sec 16 We favor the creation removed from politics of a department of banking providing for competent Inspection of all our state financial institu tions and similar to the system now existing for national banks Sec 17 We favor the enactment of such wise laws as will put Into effect all sections and provisions of the State Constitution and we declare that we are in favor of the enforcement of all laws Sec 18 We favor the enactment of wise laws for the protection from ac cident and Injury of all laborers engaged in hazardous employments and wo favor a wise conservative law regulating the arbitration of labor strikes and disputesSec 19 We favor a law prohibiting peonage and female slave traffic re gardless of color ofSecImposing the severest penalty possible under our Constitution on all officers who fall to protect prisoners intrusted to their keeping Sec 21 The Democratic party has nlways been the party of religious as Well as civil liberty In Kentucky and In the republic It refers with pride to Its hoble and consistent record on this Important question so dear to every true American heart We are in full accord both in letter and In spirit with the teachings of Thortlafe Jefferson the founder of our party on this question and with the provisions of our State and Federal Constitutions and we are unalterably opposed to raising any religious test us a qualification for holding any office Ih the state or nation senatorsSecby direct vote of the people Sec 23 We denounce and are opposed to Cannonism or oneman power Iin all representative assemblies whether It be In the congress or In represen tative conventions IWe faVor the rule of tho people Sec 24 On the platform of principles and on the alms and purposes of our party In the state and In the nation we appeal to all Kentuckians irrespective of previous political affiliations who are proud of the past and desire a still more prosperous more progressive present and future for all our pec pie to support our magnificent state ticket including our nominee for the United States senatorship ahd our nominees for general assembly and for- other t offices Sec 25 In conclusion We call the attention of Kentuckians to the fact that Democratic principles are triumphant in the nation and in almost every state and that the Republican party everywhere is professing toadopt Democratic principles in its platforms but we warn them that the Republicans of this state have placed In their platform some progressive Democratic doc trines not with a view to carry them otitorto attempt to carry them out In good faith In the Improbable event of their success at the polls next Novem ber but only for the present purpose of catching votes and deceiving the peo pie so that they might get tho offices and emoluments thereof The broken promises of the present Republican state and national administrations as well as the entire history of the Republican party are sufficient to convince all fair minded citizens of insincerity of the Republican party and that it is not the party of the people while on the other hand the record and history of the Democratic party In the nation and the state conclusively establish Its devo I lion to duty and its purpose in good faith to redeem all platform Pledges made to the people t u l t 5 i VYWrrdrVVrh + VrvWVrkYrh f it Paris Green 1 11 AND t t l+ Paris Greer 1 ifiBlowers AT t MtSterlingjI

May Get Winchester fran chase It was stated in Lexington on the authority of Thomas A Sheets president of the Lexington baseball club that it is practical settled that Newport and CoVing ton will have clubs in the Blue grass Baseball League in 1912 President Sheets several month ago made the suggestion that Newport and Covington be admitted to the league and the idea was at once indorsed by the othei club owners Later President W A Neal ol the Bluegrass League came ui from Louisville on a trip around the circuit and the matter was taken up before him President Neal declared himself as bein heartily in favor of such a move und is now busily engaged in ar ranging the detail matter which is necessary before n franchise can be issued The admission of those two cit ies would make the Bluegrass League an eightclub circuit at the same time probably putting the league in Class C insteadof Glass D where it now is The addition of the two towns would not materially increase the travel ing expenses of the club as the towns are only seventyfive miles from Lexington and at present Maysville is over sixtyfive miles It is proposed that the Blue grass League schedule could be ranged in such a manner that Newport and Covington could se cure dates while the Reds are out of Cincinnati giving those towns a fine chance to make good finan cially and at the same time furn fishing good baseball for the fans while the big leaguers are on their tripsJust who the club owners in the proposed new towns will be has not been announced but it is un derstood that there are several wealthy men who are anxious to secure the franchise- A meeting of the directors of the league will be held in a few lays at which definite action will ae taken on the proposed invasion At present all the towns in the Bluegrass League are doing well inancially with the possible exception of Winchester and if this town should fail to support its teams Vlt Sterling fans would be only oo glad to take the Hustler franchise If the proposed plan becomes a certainty the Bluegrass jeague will have the following clubs Lexington Newport Cov ngton Maysville Richmond iris Winchester or Mt Sterling and

sheep of practically the same quality On Monday Wasl ington lambs realized 755 on the Chicago market while good Mor tuna sheep had to be contente with 410415 At these price killers were hungry for lambs but bid relunctantly on sheep The avidity with which young stock iiis bought while age goes begging iis the most aggravating puzzle olive stock trade Packers have been accused of bearing the sheep market becaus of an excessive supply but the proportion of mature muttons has not been as excessive as the pric discount is unfair so that other reasons must be sought The grower is interested in learning whether heavy sheep are an asset or a liability and the manner in which both ewes and wethers have been selling is calculated to encourage the latter conclusion Wholesalers say mutton accumu bates in their coolers and retailer assert that they cannot induct their customers to take it At present cost mutton ought to be the cheapest meat on the butchers counter The boiled mutton of England is not in great favor ir the culinary economy of our cooks and the savory stews and ragout of continental Europe have rather small place in our dietary Wen it not for demand from public in stitutions mutton would be ever more a drug on the market The present wide range is absurd w Controversy Over Moisture In Butter The case of the United States vs 11150 pounds of butter decides last month in the United States District Court at St Paul is a good il lustration of the way the executive md judical branches of our Government are sometimes not in accord This case was a seizure of butter under the federal law providing for the confiscation of butter containing an abnormal quantity of moisture Under this law the secretary of Agriculture made n ruling that butter should be con tiscated if it contained more thar 10 per cent of moisture Upon the hearing of this case Judge Willard held that under the statute the Secretary had no pow jr to fix any percentage as being ibnormul declaring that such ac lion was not a regulation for car ying the law into effect but was ather a rule for the construction of the law and that it is for the ourts not the executives to construe the law In this case the Government proved that the but tel contained more than 16 per ent moisture and went no fur her The defendant moved that the court dismiss the case which vas done on the ground that the mof of 16 per cent is not proof of an abnormal amount of moist ire despite the ruling of the Sec clary Under this decision in every Jiroseuition under this statute it will be necessary to prove that the mount of moisture is abnormal egardless of the percentage ound until the law is amended ixing the percentage beyond which makers of butter cannot go HIS SHREW SCHEME He was nn old man

KELLER GREENE f l THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM ts Elsewhere in this issue we present for the consideration of our readers the platform adopted at the recent Democratic State Conven tion held in Louisville As it will be the subject of much discussion in the present cam pawn we urge a careful reading of it It represents the views not only of the nominees but of a large majority of the Democrats of the- State and upon it the party asks the favorabe consideration of every voter who has the best interests of his State at heart Even the casual reader knows the Republican party is willing to promise anything to get office In Washington a Republican presi dent has been compelled to rely upon Democrats to furnish sufficient strength to enact laws promised the people From top to bottom the Democratic ticket could not be improved upon It is headed by that distinguished statesman and citizen Sen ator James B AlcCreary who during all his long public career has never betrayed public trust or done a dishonorable thing He has already shown himself capable of making Kentucky one of the best Governors we ever had and there is no good reason that can be ad m vanced why he cannot again serye us with equal satisfaction He and AvfV his associates have pledged themselves to carry this platform into ef WrV fect We have implicit confidence not only in their sincerity but in j their ability as well to do this and we enter thecampaign with thorn anxious to do our feeble part with confidence in the justness of our cause and the ultimate triumph of right find merit over hypocrisy and demagogism Hon Ollie AI James will open his campaign for U S Senator somewhere in the State on September 11 We know of no place where he could receive a more cordial welcome than at Alt Sterling but if he cannot arrange to open his campaign here we hope to have the pleasure of hearing him sometime this fall if Now that the Campaign Publicity Bill has been enacted all can didates for Congress will have to publish before election their cam paign expenses and also make public all pledges of political up ointments This latter provision will certainly embarrass our own Promissory John The work on

oppressed laboring clas sesHe denounced the evils of di vorce and censured Socialists for claiming a ptinticea for present day ills There is no more dangerous Socialism than the usurpation by the state of the rights and duties to feed clothe and educate their own children or to transfer the duties and responsibilities of the family to the school The Catholic Church has to devise uu new plan

Federation entertains an extremely warm feeling toward the Archbishop because he came from the city where the organization was founded 10 years ago When he arose to speak the entire audience arose as it previously did only in the case of Mgr Falconio Archbishop Moeller praised the work of the society and its rapid- growth He declared that such organizations affiliated with relig ious sects are to

the seaboard devotees of the harness game with a full complement of rare sport Everyone t of the above tracks reports an ap preciable increase in attendance over former years and the outlook for the sport is so encouraging that the several track managers are planning more substantial programs for their later meetings and there is already an advanced move ment on foot to organize a com pact circuit of halfmile tracks all within easy reach of both New York and Philadelphia and in an other season to make a strong bid for the patronage of the more prominent stables which in former years have raced exclusively over the mile tracks of the Grand Cir s cultpuThe admission of the halfmile trackat Goshen N Y to Grand1 1sh Circuit membership this year is anI entering wedge for the aspirants andwhile the Grand Circuiters have ever been relunctant to race co over halfmile tracks and are LI prone to regard the halfmile truck coterie as tyros nothwithstanding the fact that nearly every Grand Circuiter himself is a graduate from the battle ground it is a foregone conclusion that the GrandI Circuit week at Goshan will con vert many of the old school into by enthusiastic halfmile

Fable of the Wise Judge Once there was a Learned Judge It was known thathe was Learned because he himself had said so This Judge whose Name was iorear had an Ambition to get to the Front So mounting the Steam Roller he flattened out those who had been his Friends and who happened to stand between him and the Nomination for Governor which was his Goal By the aid of a powerful Kinglet William surnamed The Purchaser whose assistance he obtained by much Agility Cojolery and BackHand ed Prevarication he was nominated to carry the Emblem of The Republican Party a Company of Brigands who at that time flour ished in the Land of his Endeav ors Now it had been the Custom in the Land that when a than who held an Oflice sought another he should Resign the Office be already held But this Judge was a Wise Jude He was not yet safely ensconded in the Governors Chair and he was Wise to the fact that in Kentucky the Republican Party Hari quent intervals of Prosperity had always been followed shortly by long Seasons of Poor Pickings- So this Vv ise Judge refused to give up his Good Thing until he should have Something Better with in his Grass saying in the quaint language of the day Never

ladies by opening a ledger and set ting down the good against the bad alpurnia against Faustina and Aleirtene against Trimalchios wife The trait that is interesting for our purpose is present in good and bad alike The Roman lady was a per son indeed she was often what we calla character She is distin guished from the Athenian lady as a statue in the round is distinguished from a relief Once for all she was detached from the background of family life and not supported throughout her height by the fabric of society must see to it that her lie without her base She commit ted her own sins and

Silos Insistent as this journal has been in many years in urging cornbelt stockfarmers to build silos it reiterates its advice more emphatically and with more confidence than hitherto seemed com patible even with the utmost faith in the economic virtues of silage Every years experience yields convincing evidence that silos are paying investments on stockfarms in the corngrowing regions If they pay when grass hay and oats are successful crops it is rea sonable to suppose that in a year like this they should give much greater returns Every argu ment heretofore strong for silos is now magnified manyfold by the eye of common sense No farmer who grows corn and raises stock can fail this year to see dollars in a silo There is no escaping the conviction that corn silage offers the cheapest and most effective salvation of cornbelt animal hus bandry during the coming winter Verbal arguments in support of silos should not be necessary when drouth has epitomized them all in a visible simple local situation on practically every stockfarm A plain case is presented A feed shortage is a fact Corn is more than likely to be high in price whichmeans cash sale for muchof it and

work and considering too the re action of the spirits of one member of the household upon the other members it becomes a positive sin for a mother especially not to do everything in her power to keep her self in good physical condition The first requirement of comfort is bod ily cleanliness the second is com fortable clothing Women are too prone to economize on footwear es pccially for house wear Often when mothers feet ache because of patchedstockings or runover shoes her temper is stretched to the snap ping point and husbandand children long for peace A cold foot itibathand a clean soft pair

Pro- nuncIation of New England Standby Many stories are being told at this time illustrative of the wit and hu mor of William Everett the fight ing schoolmaster who recently died in Quincy Mass He had a wonder ful fund of good stories which he always told well and he never lacked a ready and appropriate comment to cap anothers tale Once when he and Secretary Root were dining with President Roose velts family at the White House Mr Root was reminded by Swill pail the household nickname for one of the boys of the little girl who said her grandmother had swill for dinner The mystified parents could not solve the riddle till grandma herself explained that she had been enjoying a good old New England boiled dinner When the laughter occasioned by Mr Roots story had subsided some what Doctor Everett turned to his host with that rare smile of his and saidIt is very evident Mr President that our friend was not born and brought up in New England I A moments pause before offering the explanation gained him the ea ger attention of all then as he would correct one of his boys he saidProperly pronounced Mr Root its a bileddinnerYouthsComp- an ion MORE FAVORABLE TO WOMEN Manx Laws

That Bursts Starch Cells Has a Distinct Econom ical WorthI Big puffed rice wheat and oat grains are probably made under an old German invention and patent for making potato whisky No mat ter how long a potato is boiled its minute cellulose framework or skel eton will still hold many unbroken and unburst starch cells so a wise old Dutch chemist steamed it under pressure of about 80 pounds in a boiler having a temperature of about 300 degrees Fahrenheit When 300 degrees was reached a valve sudden ly and automatically opened and discharged all time boiled potato into a big vat as if it wero shot out of a gun Of course when the pressure was released the steam in the pota toes literally burst every microscopic cell all to pieces Such a system would seem invaluable in getting the full food value of all grain and starchy food including beans peas and lentils Many starch cells in breadresist baking and pass through the system without being digested or assimilated so causing a waste of millions upon millions of dollars an nually besides straining and taxing the digestive powers of mankind un necessarily HIS REASON FOR HESITATION Bystander Wanted to Know a Few Things Before He Went

Louisville Post is unable to swallow the monstrous explanation advanced by Judge ORear in defense of his declara tion at Louisville that Senator Bradley His one Senator on whose character there is no blot and on whose record there is no stain In his speech at Elizabethtown Judge ORear devoted many hun dreds of words to an attempted defense of that statement alleging that due to some threat conveyed by some unidentified representa trove of Senator Bradley to some unamed opponent of Governor Bradley that Governor Bradley wouldsurrender the caucus nomi nation unless he was elected immediately Commenting on this saysiWe admit that the assertion that Governor Bradley eyen with the aid of Mr Renq scared Lillard and Charlton and McNut and Mu eller into voting Mr Bradley into the Senate sounds very much like comic opera and the last touchof the absurd is given to this version of the transaction by the appoint ment of Lillard as private secre tary to the new Senator A man so
