A c0INER OF WORDS.

Worlds Vocabulary.
The authorities seem TO assign the
origin of the word aristocrat to the
French Revolution. which coined its
opposite, democrat. Oddly enough. the
word seems to have been first applied
to our harmless military order, the
Cincinnati.
When the Cincinnati was organized
in l7S3 a storm of objection was rails

nounced the military order. of which
Washington was the head, fell into the
hands of Mirabeau. who Immediately

ing can be done until we get the
government back into the hands
of the people. To this end we
propose:
/. The direct primary, by
means of which every candidate
of every party, from president
down, shall be chosen by the di-
rect vote of the party voters, at
an official primary, surrounded by
the same safeguards as the gen
eral election, in place of the old
convention system.
2. Election of United States
senators by popular vote, which
will do away with the Lorimer
and Penrose type of senators.
3. Direct legislation, or the
initiative and referendum, where
by a reasonable percentage of the
people may, by petition, compel
the submission to popular vote of
a proposed law.
4. The recall of judges or of
judicial decisions, whereby power
will be taken from the courts of
setting aside as unconstitutional
popular laws, such as employers
liability laws, laws limiting the
hours of labor for women, etc,
by decisions which are based up
on no precedent, but are in effect
judicial legislation.

We propose to handle the trusts
by the creation of new indus

the lines of the interstate COM

commission will have power, to
investigate the securities, the

all unfair methods of competition;

We also propose to attack di- .
rectly some of the most obvious
evils of modern industrial life. We
will forbid the work of women
and children in factories at night
and limit the hours in which they
can be compelled to work during
the day. We stand for a mini

which employers cannot take adj

CITY refused 10 support a team. Bev-
Juest was present and told US just where
the game was lost, but he could not tell
where the fans we're. Baxter said that
he believed they were so busy in the
factories that they could not get of.
Jim VIM, Steve Naught and host OF
familiar fans were in too lac rymose
condition 70 attend, the latter, however,
later pointed out the foundations OF
their county jail. which was expected
10 hold at least 100 prisoners when their
railroad terminals we're all completed.

Blue Grass Crop Heavy in
Madison,

The farmers of Madison have been
actively engaged during the past week
gathering blue grass seed, which is one
of the heaviest crops known in many
years. Central Kentucky produces
practically all Of the blue grass Of the
world, and the crop Of seed is one of the
important revenues of the farmers Of
this section. The annual production
runs all the way from 800, 600 to 800, 900
bushels. and this year it is estimated
may make something like 1000, OOC
bushels. The price varies from 40 or 30
cents to 81 per bushel. In view of the
heavy crop the sales this year are start
ing at As cents bushel as it stands in
the pasture. An acre of blue grass will
produce from 10 TO 30 bushels Of seed,
and as the reaping OF the seed in no way
impairs the value of the grass for graz,
ing purposes, the sale of the seed stand:
as premium paid annually to the own
of blue grass sod.
