We, the Democrats of Kentucky, in delegate convention duly ascmbled and held m 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 tho Declaration of Independence and since reaffirmed in successive platforms of the party, and we especially reaffirm our faith in and devotion to tho National Democratic platform adopted at Denver, Colorado, in the year 1908. Sec. 2. We donounce the Republican party and tho present Republican President, for their flagrant and willful betrayal of the trust reposed in them AT by the American people and call attention especially to the fact that they have willfully disregarded their promises to tho effect that they would revise downward the unjust tariff system and would rollove the masses of tho people of the heavy burdens of unjust and unnecessary taxation. On tho contrary the Republicans enacted tho odious tariff law of 1909, pronounced by Mr. Taft to be "the best Republican tariff law ever passed," 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 burdens of the many, and authorized those favored few not only to continue, but to increase, their robbery of the many under tho forms of law. WAVWWWMMMAW Sec. 3. Wo point with pride to, and heartily indorse the patriotic record made by the present Democratic members of Congress and Democratic Senators, in their efforts over determined Republican opposition to, in good' faith, ledeem the promises of the Democratic party to repeal unjust and oppressive Republican laws, and to enact wise and just laws for the benefit of the great masses of the people, and we invite all to contrast tho alms and record of the Democrats in tho house and senate of the present session of congress with the aims and record of the Republicans and especially with tho Republican sesIS ON- sion of 1909 which enacted the tariff law. We especially indorse tho record of our Democratic congressmen and senator from Kentucky for their fidelity in keeping the promises of their party and representing the people and not the interests, and wo denounce tho record of tho Republican congressmen and senator from Kentucky, because they have represented not tho people, nor have they sought to relieve their burdens, but have represented tho privileged, protected interests of the country. Sec. 4. Kentucky is, and of right ought to be, a Democratic state, and tho Democratic party in appealing for tho support of tho electorate of the state eagerly invites an intelligent comparison of tho 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 dlsregaid 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 tho state, we present a picture of a magnificent state capltol erected and paid for without any extra tax, and every just claim against the state promptly met and paid in full; as against platform ple'ges and promises broken and made to be broken, wo present a record of all pledges and promises FOR RENT faithfully kept; as against hypocrisy, demagogy and incompetency wo present a 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 people's money, and we pledge ourselves to retrenchment and reform, and to an economical business administration of public affairs. "WE WILL. MEET Sec. G. "We are in favor of a direct primary election law, providing that all primary elections shall bo conducted under lawful authority and at public expense, and to be regulated in tho same manner and subject to the samo penalties for violations, as in case of regular elections.

Sec. 8. Wo favor such laws as will, under appropriate penalties, destroy all corrupt lobbying seeking to influence any legislative body in the Commonwealth on tho subject of legislation or the election of officers by it, or in any other matter; but we recognizo the constitutional right of tho people to petition and to be impartially heard on all questions.

High prices have turned the public mind, not stomach, against meat, and the difficulty of reducing retail prices over the butcher's block has stood in the vay of increased consumption when values on the hoof have fallen. The trade has been sadly out of joint, with high prices of feed, tho ups and downs in the beef market, and a condition of marketing that lays unwarranted tax on the consumer. But the weel must turn again and equilibrium must Already the settlers be restored. in the Northwest who drove whole herds off the ranges have discovered in doing so they have destroyed the market for their farm crops. The fenced pasture plan A never looked more certain. thoughtful Iowa correspondent sets forth forcibly the necessity of the farm breeding of acceptoble feed-lo- t cattle, if land values are to be maintained. All things are working together for the enhearti of the faithful improvers of beef stocks, who through good and ill report, through Hood and drouth, have held their faith. That they have been constant to their high calling the appioaching fairs will demonstrate beyond shadow of doubt. It was stated in Lexington on the authority of Thomas A. Sheets, president of the Lexington baseball club, that it is practically settled that Newport and Coying-- , ton will have clubs in the Blue-graBaseball League in 1912. President Sheets several months ago made the suggestion that Newport and Covington be admitted to the league, and the idea was at once indorsed by the other club owners. Later President W. A. Neal, of the Bluegrass League, came up from Louisville on a trip around the circuit, and the matter was taken up before him. Presideni Neal declared himself as being heartily in favor of such a move and is now busily engaged in ar ranging the detail matter which is necessary before a franchise can be issued. The admission of those two cities would make the Bluegrass circuit, at League an eight-clu- b the same time probably putting the league in Class C instead of Class D, where it now is.

Just who the club owners in the proposed new towns will be has not been 'announced, but it is understood 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 days, at which definite action will be taken on the proposed invasion.

At these prices killers were hungry for lambs, but The bid relunctantly on sheep. avidity with which young stock is bought while age goes begging is the most aggravating puzzle of live stock trade.

Controversy Over "Lonesome Pine" Lonesome. No Longer Whitesburg, Ky. The scenes are rapidly changing on the "Trail of the Lonesome Pine," for the city of Jenkins, the Consolida tion Coal Company's model city on Elkhorn Creek, is being built where the closing scenes of John Fox, Jr.'s, story, "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine," is laid. The primitive log house in the "Shadows of the Cumberland," in which the heroine of the story was married to Hale, the engineer, has been torn down, and where it stood now stands the offices of the company. Here one will occasionally meet an ancient character, whom he will half suspect as being "Uncle Beams," the Justice who performed the marriage ceremony on the porch of the old house the house that was once the home of John W.

GREENE For Representative W. L. CRAIG For County Court Clerk KELLER GREENE w : THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. Elsewhere in this issue we present for the consideration of our readers the platform adopted at the recent Democratic State Convention held in Louisville. As it will be the subj'ect of much discussion in the present campaign, 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 favorab'e 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 ollice. In Washington a Republican president 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, Senator James B. McCreary, who, during all his long public career, has never betrayed a 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 vanced why he cannot again serve us with equal satisfaction. He and his associates have pledged themselves to carry this platform into effect. We have implicit confidence, not only in their sincerity, but in their ability, as well, to do this and we enter the, campaign with thorn, anxious to do our feeble part, with conlidence in the justness of our cause and the ultimate triumph of right and merit over hypocrisy and demagogism. the route through principal streets. A train accident delayed the Cleveland delegation and delayed the parade nearly two hours. Police had to keep back the throng at the Pontifical mass in the morning. The cathedral was filled to overflowing before the hour set for the services, even though admission was by tickets. Surrounded by Bishops, Most Rev. Diomede Falconio was escorted to the sanctuary.

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 Mt.

M'CREARY TO OPEN i KENTUCKY FAIR DATES, The abolishment of thorough- BO bred racing at the several tracks adjacent to New York City has given a decided impetus to the harness horse sport; and, ever since the present season opened the trotters and pacers have been more I active around the metropolis than in recent vears. Over in Jcrsty, successful meetings have been already given at Ilohokus, Pitman, Sussex, Fleiningtnn, Dover, Trenton, Newton and Plainlield and the two tracks at Philadelphia (Point If you saw a row of apples, everyone differing in size, ripeness and color, and Breeze and Belmont) together with all for sale at the same price, wouldn't you choose the best?

Insistent as this journal has been in many years in urging to build cornbclt stock-fannesilos, it reiterates its tidvico. more emphatically and with more confidence than hitherto seemed compatible even with the utmost faith in the economic virtues of silage. Every year's experience yields convincing evidence that silos are paying investments on stock-farm- s regions. If in the they pay when grass, hay and oats are successful crops it is reasonable to suppose that in a year like this they should give much greater returns. Every argument heretofore strong for silos is by the now magnified many-fol- d eye of common sense. No farmer who grows corn and raises .stock con 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 husbandry 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 stock-farA plain case is presented. A feed shortage is a fact. Corn is more than likely to be high in price, which means cash sale for much of it, and the sacrifice of stock on the altar of a temporary and costly expedient.

The first requirement of comfort is bodily cleanliness; the second is comfortable clothing. Women are too prone to economize on footwear, especially for house wear. Often when mother's feet ache because of patched stockings or runover shoes, her temper is stretched to the snapping point and husband and children long for peace. A cold foot hath and a clean, soft pair of stockings each morning, two pairs of really comfortable shoes, changing the shoes early in the afternoon, will make a brand-newoman of her.

CONVICT'S CURIOUS POSITION. mor of William Everett, "the fighting schoolmaster," who recently died in Quincy, Mass. He had a wonderful fund of good stories, which he always told well, and he never lacked a ready and appropriate comment to cap another's tale. Once when he and Secretary Root were dining with President Eoose-velt- 's 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. Eoot's story had subsided somewhat, Doctor Everett turned to his host with that rare smile of his and said: "It is very evident, Mr. President, that our friend was not born and brought up in New England 1" A moment's pause before offering the explanation gained him the eager attention of all; then as he would correct one of his boys, he HIS REASON FOR HESITATION said : Big puffed rice, wheat and oat grains are probably made under an old German invention and patent for making potato whisky. No matter how long a potato is boiled its minute cellulose framework, or skeleton, 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 suddenly and automatically opened and discharged all the boiled potato into a big vat as if it were shot out of a gun. Of course when the pressure was released tho steam in the potatoes 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 bread resist baking and pass through the system without being digested or assimilated, so causing a waste of millions upon millions of dollars annually, besides straining and taxing the digestive powers of mankind unnecessarily. The police of Marseilles are worried concerning a curious dilemma which confronts them. On April 17, a man named Joseph Edel died at the Hospital of the Conception, and wi'fl buried. He was a returned convict. The other week two policemen arrested Joseph Edel in the main street of Marseilles. The man who had died in the hospital had escaped from the Prench settlement, h and, boforo doing so, had stolen Edol's papers. The police are jKTwJn a quandary. Joseph Edel has been arrested, and ought to go to prison for returning to a country which does not want him, but, legally, Joseph Edel is dead, and by French law he may commit any" crime he likes murder included without fear of punishment; for, being dead, his country's laws will have nothing to do with him. The Marseilles police are now trying to have the death certificate altered, but this will be a lengthy process, and, meanwhile, they will be obliged to set tbeir "dead" prisoner, the real Joseph Edel, at liberty.

Manx Laws Allow Right of Franchise, Among Other Things, to the Gentler Sex. Manx laws, as Mr. Hall Caine ha3 pointed out, are far more favorable to women than our own. Every woman, widow or spinster, in the Isle of Man, whether she bo owner, occupier or even lodger, enjoys the franchise for the house of keys election. A law respecting women, winch Is probably unique, was repealed early in the last century, years. "If a after being force man take a woman against her will, if she be a wife, he must suffer death; if she be a maid, the deemster shall give her a rope, a sword and a ring; and she shall have her choice either to hang him with the rope, cut off his head with the sword oi marry him with the ring." Popular tradition relates that one woman, wfio insisted on hanging her aggressor, repented after he had been suspended some time, cut him down and offered him the ring. He took it, but, remarking that one punishment was enough, refused to marry Jier. 0 "Why didn't you jump in and try to save him?" asked one of the people who had hurried to the spot where efforts were being made to resuscitate tho drowned man. "They say you were standing here on the shore at the time and saw him struggling." "Yes, 1 was here." "Well, did you suppose he was merely fooling in the water?" "No, I could see from the first that he was in danger." "Why in the world, then, did you do nothing to save him ? Can't you ' swim?" ...i-vrf;n' WITT "Oh, yes' I'm a good swimmer, M - Opera. The Louisville Post is the ablest una most aggressive daily paper in Kentucky advocating Judge O'Rear's election. Day in and day out, with reason and without reason, it attacks the Democratic party, denounces the Democratic ticket, advocates the Republican party and praises Judge O'Rear. And yet even the Louisville Post is unable to swallow the monstrous explanation advanced by Judge O'Rear in defense of his declaration at Louisville that Senator Bradley "is one Senator on whose character there is no blot, and on whose record there is no stain." In his speech at Elizabethtown Judge O'Eear devoted many hun dreds of words to an attempted defense of that statement, alleging that due to some threat convoyed by some unidentilied representative of Senator Bradley to some unamed opponent of Governor Bradley that Governor Bradley would surrender the caucus nomination unless he was elected immediately. Commenting on this the Louisville Post says: "We admit that the assertion that Governor Bradley, eyen with the aid of Mr. Reno, scared Lillard and Charlton and McNut and Mueller into voting Mr. Bradley into the Senate sounds very much like comic opera, and the last touch of the absurd is given to this version of the transaction by the appointment of Lillard as private secretary to the new Senator A man so easily scared cannot make an eflicient secretary to a Senator. Is there a single intelligent man in the State that believes that explanation given by Judge O'Eear of Senator Bradley's election is accurate, is even plausible? Lexington Herald.

BOY'S QUESTION yourself of the The wheels of commerce ancU manufacture would cease to move if the products of tho soil were withdrawn from the marts and. Banks, markets of tho world. would close, industries would! cease and manufacturers would! suspend. Millions of people would languish and die and the whole earth would appear as it 1 palsied by drought. Agriculture is the life of the na tion, the sustenance of the people.

AH .that goes to sustain life is the,fruit of the soil, while from the bowels of the earth wp get our coal, timber and metals. But is the farm appreciated as it should be, even by its owners and those who till the soil? The lure and dare of the city has taken away many a stalwart youth boy and girl to learn some trade or to accept some clerical position. The farmer with his broad acres, comfortable home and conveniences and , well filled larder owes allegiance to no one. His citizenship is of the noblest and his position politically and religiously as independent as that of a king. Back to the farm is already heard as thelifdofh city is one of pay as you go Fresh air, sunshine and exercise are necessary health essentials and nowhere are they in such evidence-aupon the farm. Give to the boys a share in the business of the farm and to an interest in tho dairy and poultry products and the bright glare of tho city will have no charm for the stalwart youths and the rosy cheeked maids of a thousand homes. "What is worth doing at all doing well," is a saviner that can be strikingly exemplified upon the farm. The thoughtful farmer is always ready to act when the. proper time is at hand. Things left undone on the farm are often sources of disappointment, especially from a financial standpoint. The successful farmer is he who pushes his business instead of letting his business push him. He-imaster of his affairs and directs-hibusiness with promptness and dispatch. fThe most serious mistakeHB rm some' farmars make is trying too much overcropping. While the farmer is trying hard to bring up every feature of the work necessary to handle big crops of wheat, corn and tobacco,, the little things about the place are left to go undone and financial loss is the result. By all means reduce your farm, operations to a size that will enable you to take care of your business. The- farms of Central Kentucky are as a rule too large. Intensive farming upon tho acreage will secure better results. Better grow five acres of tobacco and grow it well than to cultivate ten or Gfteen acres and only half do it.The waste about the farm ifcfesi-culatonly for Central Kentucky is annually hundreds of thousands of dollars. Stop the leakage and more money can be made with half the capital, labor and worry. s r s s to-taone-fourth J - ed -- FOR TH- EKentucky State Fair TH- E- u, opportunity?
