and that the people do not.
The question is, VIII the people
throw off the rule of special priv
ilege and become self governing men
in fact as well as in theory?
Dc not The great holders OF legiti-
mate wealth realize that the over
throw of machine rule, of corrupt
goIe;nment, IS essential to the stabil
ity of society and the safety OF
their fortunes? Win they wait for
revolution?
How is the condition to be rem
edied?
We should emphasize again ;he
declaration OF our democratic national
platform OF 1908:
The conscience OF the nation is
now aroused and will free the gov
errment from the grip of those who
have made it a business asset of
the favorseeking corporations. Il
must become again peoples govern
ment. and be administered in all de-
palt,nents according to the Jefferson
ian maxim, Equal rights to all, spe-
cial privileges TO none
Shall the people rule?' is the
overwhelming issue which manifests
itself in all the questions now under
discussion"
That such is the primary issue has
become perfectly clear. Only where
there is a properly framed system OF
direct primaries aud other up-to-date
governmental mechanism do the peo-
pie rule or can the people rule.
Let The democratic party leaders
assure the entire people that the
democratic nominees for the legisla-
turc will each be invited to make
the following pledge in writing:

The advance models of hats,
coats and dresses, to be worn
during the fall and winter, are
every day arriving from Paris.
A private view of some of the
choicest of these creations has
made three things certain. The
first is that the kimono sleeve
will be as popular as ever during
the coming season, the second is
that many short wasted frocks
will be worn and the third fact
cleaned is that all skirts, except
in pleated tailor styles, will be
narrow.
Coats are to be made with
slightly larger sleeves than has
been the case this summer. This
is especially the case in all long
garments intended for automo-
bile wear. A good many Of the
suit coats are semi-ftting, but
others are made with straight
lines and do not curve in at the
waist. Another point to be no
| ted on these coats is that they
| do not flare but are narrow a.
round the bottom. Coats fast
ened over at one side in shield
effect are shown and also coats
| with long, narrow revers. Blu
these latter fasten high on tn
chest, making them PRACTICABLE
for cold weather.
Short sleeves, especially tn
quarter sleeves, that hav
been so fashionable this summer
will continue their vogu
throughout the fall and winte
and are to be used in all hanC

Attractions At The Fair.

Attractions At The Fair.
The Darke County Fair Board
has made a radical departure in
regard to the free attractions to
be given at the Fair the last week
in August of this year and have
spared no pains to secure them,
each of which are individual acts.
They are Mile Rafin, with her
troupe Of performing monkeys,
one of the greatest trained ami
NAL acts in the world; Miss Eta
Victoria in a novelty contortion
act; Rice Bros. the Farmer and
the Chinaman, in a comedy bar
act, who do stunts that will make
even the most sedate sit up and
take notice of feats performed
on the horizontal bar that seem
incredible. Eight performances
will be given daily.
Other attractions at the Fair
in conjunction with the free acts
will make the Fair we'll worth
attending.
To lovers of horse racing the
speed entries are large. Never
in the history of the Fair BoarC
have there been so many horse:
entered, and the races this yea
promise to eclipse any ever ye
given on the race track at tn,

and displays this year promise t.
be bigger and better than ever.
