"FALLINd GODS"

Puck recently contained a car
toon entitled Failing Gods" It
is splendid conception, power
fully worked out. The picture
represents a scene upon the River
Nile. -Four gods patterned after
Egyptian models, and representing
High Protection, Partisan Poll
tics, Bossism and Plutocracy sit
enthroned upon the banks of the
Nile. Others have fallen into the
water and High Protection" is
topping; the foundation Of part
isan Politics" is being washed
away, and the waters have even
reached the base of "Bossism"
and "Plutocracy."
The cartoonist has told story
that furnishes both warning and
encouragement warning to those
who defend the wrong and encour-
agement to those who stand for the
right.
Time removes all evils and re-
dresses all grievances; time will
finally overthrow the high tariff
fetish and restore justice to the
consumers; time will correct the
evils introduced by that blind part
isanship which puts an immediate
party triumph above the perma-
nent welfare of the country; time
will drive bossism out of politics
and restore to the people the con-
troll of the party organization;
time will at last dethrone plutoc-
racy and make our government in
fact government of the people,
by the people and for the people. !"
The tide of reform does not
move with an even pace, but it
moves, and sooner or later it over
whelms opposition. Puck is to be
congratulated on having SO force
fully portrayed a great truth

A COUNTY FAIR.

Now that the preliminary steps

In the first place, we can not
we fair without beginning.
be safest plan, we believe, is to
bgin on small scale and build
Iup from year to year. The great
iate Fair at Nashville was small
bginning, SO to speak, but it was
success from the start. The IL
stration is not used for compari-
IN, but to show what can be done
patient, hard work by the right
md of men behind it.
1t will require some capital to
Ecure a site and enclose it and
ect the necessary buildings for
fair. 1t will require time to do
4 this, but in order to make it q
ornament enterprise lets begin
DIV with this end in view.
In the meantime every effort
pssible should be made to make
creditable showing at the fair to
