Kentucky Burgoo "Kentucky Burgoo" is the celebrated stew which is served in Kentucky on Derby Day, at political rallies, horse sales and other outdoor events. This recipe is from a at handwritten copy by Mr. J. T. Looney, of Lexington. Mr. Looney is Kentucky's most famous Burgoo-maker and it was for him that Mr. E. R. Bradley named his Kentucky Derby winner "Burgoo-King." Mr. Looney uses a sauce of his own in the preparation of this truly amazing concoction. Mr. Looney is invited to all parts of the country to prepare Burgoo for large gather-ings. This is not a dish to be attempted by an amateur though it can be prepared in smaller quantities. It is a very picturesque sight to see Mr. Looney, aided by many assistants, preparing this dish over open fires and huge kettles which are kept simmering all night. 600 pounds lean soup meat (no fat, no bones) 200 pounds fat hens 2000 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced 200 pounds onions 5 bushels of cabbage, chopped 60 ten-pound cans of tomatoes 24 ten-pound cans puree of tomatoes 24 ten-pound cans of carrots 18 ten-pound cans of corn Red pepper and salt to taste Season with Worcestershire, Tabasco, or steak sauce Mix the ingredients, a little at a time, and cook outdoors in huge iron kettles over wood fires from 15 to 20 hrs. Use squirrels in season... one dozen squirrels to each 100 gallons.

"It is no sin for a nation to protect its industries when the rules of trade have become a race to the bottom. Yet tariffs, wielded without foresight or reason, are a bludgeon where a scalpel is required. The objective must always be the preservation of employment, the encouragement of enterprise, and the stability of demand — not the mere satisfaction of national pride. If tariffs serve these ends, they are a tool; if they inflame tensions and impoverish the many for the vanity of the few, they are a folly."
