Nc-l For Culliiur Kluvp Flock
Five pounds of low grade wool
represents the annual production of
the uverace sheep in Kentucky,
cording to L. J. Horlacher. in charge
of the sheep work at the College of
Agriculture. In addition to this,
many animals can be found in
practically t-very flock In the Stale
that furnish strong evidence for the
uttd of culling the flock at this time
of the year, be said.
'.As average annua) production
of five pounds of wool for each
blieep in the State means that many
uouuals are producing as low at
two pounds. Every flock hat its

certain breeders or uusouud in some
irsjitct occur frojuenlly even In the
bet flocks. Frequently, raked ud-
oers result from lack of attention at
weaning time with the result that
the ewe is of i.o further value as a
breeder.
'Additional importance is attach

The BiuiarM Man' Party ' f
Washington, July' 8. The Re
publican party hat lost sympathetic
contact with the business Interests
of the country. The demand for the
disproportionate . , and ', haphazard
scheme proposed by Mr. McCumber
comet from himself and other Sena
tort who expect to .reap desirable
political benefits, and not from the
business Interests of . the country.
Loult Selbold, National political
correspondent, New York Herald.
' The foregoing statement by Mr.
Louis Sulbuld, one of the group of
famous and sound political writers
who report and comment upon na-
u worthy of ,er,ou
and "sober consideration of the busl-
11M8 nHn ol th, countrv. There is
UUcy Jn pom)cg than

extent than u under a
crarri! -dmln8tratlon. The worst
(hlng that can happen tQ bwlnel
a fluanca, r econon, panlc .and
panics than Republican tariff laws.
The great panics of 1873 and 1893
I came when Republican tariff bills
were the law of the land. The Re-
niihllAan nnnlf In 1021-29 rpflllltlnff
economic breakdown of
Europe( Iouowing the defeat of the
brought on by the
Repubcan pollcy of oppOBitlon and
MhoUge. M j8 now proposed to ex-
Practically every big Republican
newspaper in the country bag oppos
ed and denounced this pending tariff
bill. The legitimate business inter
ests ot the country are opposed to it.
Its effect upon business generally
will be disastrous, and yet tbe reac
tionary Republican leadership per
sists in trying to fasten upon tht
country it policy ' of commercial
isolation and economic " absurdities
in the Interest of ft few manufactur
er. Tbe Democratic party, still hold-
. Ing fast to the doctrine of '.equal
rights to all and special privileges
to none," is preeminely the party of
honeet and legitimate business and
the foe ot profiteering and predatory
interest. Its attitude toward the
business interests ot the country Is
definitely set forth In a recent decla
ration by Cordell HullChairman of
tbe Democratic National Committer.
Judge Hull said: .'
"The Democratic party- welcome
Into its rank every class of persons
and of business whlcb desire only
intelligent, equitable and fair treat
ment at the hand of tbe govern
ment. Dt-mocrata have shown . by
their recent record that they 'are
friendly towards all individual and
legitimate businesses, big and little,
so long aa they do not seek tome
special advantages or favor from
the government h to which they are
not entitled. Tbe national democ
racy Is not reactionary, but 1 keenly
alive to existing condition and to
modernised, wholesome remedies tor
any evil or threatened evil ot our
material or' social affairs. It alone
has a clear grasp ot all phase of
our national life." ,
The business favored by tho Re
publican party 1 crooked business,
profiteering business, and business
seeking special privileges and .favor.
The business represented by the
Democratic party is honestt busi
ness, seeking no favors and opposing
discriminations, asking only equal
opportunity. Honest business may
be little or it may be big it matters
not how big if it be honest and
legitimate,
Is It not time that honest . aud
legitimate business, big and little,
separate itselt from tho Republican
party and ally Itself with tbe Demo
cratic party? ' la it not time that
honest aud legitimate business recall
to mind the defeat by Republican
nartisaushiD ot the great recon
struction programme pffered by the
Wllsou administration in 1919 wbich
would have solved practically all of
the probloms with which business is
confronted today T .
The correspondent of a great Re
publican newspaper dec-lares that
"the Republican party ha lost sym-,
patbetlo contact with tbe business!
interest of the country." Sympathe-i
tlo interest wltb honest and legiti-
mat business Is ever present in tbe
Democratic party. I It not time,
that honest and legitimate business
should a rail Hself to it, thus serving J
it own iuterest aud tbe Interest of
the nation? .' ' '
' Ship Bubftidy Questionnaire .
It is to be hoped that Republican
Congressmen, who have' taken .
vacation aiatll August It. when
there wa plenty of work to keep
thera In Washington, will ' follow J
the advice of President Harding
and try to learn tbe view ot their j
constituent concerning the Ship'
Subsidy bill. If they do there will
be no Ship Subsidy bill 'passed by
this Congress, and no one will he -
seriously disappointed except Chair-j
tnan Lasker, ' the Shipping ' Trust
and President Harding. I
1 In order to aid the Republican
Congressmen In learning 'the view) ,
of their constituents on the Ship
Subsidy bill we suggest that they
ask thera the following questions:' 1
1.-" Do yon wish the Government'
to turn over to the Shipping Trust'
$3,000,000,000 worth of ships, most j
of them steel, and 76 per cent of.
them ollburners, the best on the

tion, and to pay tbe money on the perhaps, to tbe average citizen to
condition which will enable them
to pay for the ships out of the sub-
sidy, and thus practically get them
for nothing?
4. , Do you wish to see the army
and navy transport services abolish
ed and the function , of carrying
troops and munitions, even in time
of war, turned over to tbe Shipping
Trust? ' - .
6. Do you wish subsidies to be
paid under this bill to the Standard
Oil Company, the tnlted States
CaaI fintA Inn a n A Allia. In .a '
concerns which own and operate
their own ships, transporting their
own products and which are not
required to operate as common car
riers? 6. Do you wish the passage ot
this bill which does not require the
Shipping Board to make any re
port or accounting to the Presi
dent, the Congress or anybody else
at any time? . ( " . , ,
7. Do you wish the owner of
these ships to be exempt from the
payment of all Federal taxes pro
viding the amount is set aside for
investment In new ship construction
at a i time when there are many
more ships than necessary to carry
the amount 'of commerce?" ' '
8. Do you wish this bill passed
in the interest of tbe Shipping Trust
which profiteered upon tbe Govern
ment and the people during tbe
war, and now gives no guarantee
under this bill , of any cheaper ocean
freight rate a bill which doe not
even protend to provide for any
regulation of such rate?
These are but the principal ques
tion Congressmen may ask their
constituent. There are many more
they can ask if any of them have
taken the trouble to read the bill.
Tbe . alternative ' question Is,
Would you not rather turn over toj
a Democratic Congress the task of
providing an bonest and efficient
hipping act, designed for the up
building of a permanent merchant
marine Instead of an act to destroy
the one we now bave? , -
