And When It's Done We've COPIED
and Eyened Another.

For twenty innings of nip-and-tuck
baseball the Indians and GrIffmen
struggled, and when It was done, the
Griffs had hung up a 7-to-5 victory,
and had gone eleven frames to a
1-to-1 tie. No such day can be re-
called by the Oldest fan. unless II
be the day before. The present Cleve-

most bitterly-fought since Clark Grit

The second threatened to be a de-
feat for Griff's boys, Harper baking

Neither team could break the tie un-

easily recognized by every intelligent

The opposition, however, to the new
constitution came, not only from those
entrenched interests which see the
handwriting on the wall, said the
speaker, but by we'll meaning conserv-
atives who fear that revolutionary
measures for governmental procedure
might be included in new constitu-
ton
Professor Lindley referred humor-
ously to those persons who regarded
the state and national constitutions
and the Declaration of Independence
as sacred cows, stating that while he
respected those documents, as the best
expression of their day for conditions
which existed then, that he did not
regard them as ''hallowed"
AS inelastic as the Indiana constitu-
ton is now, however, Professor Lind
ley emphasized the fact that it's max
ers had had sufficient foresight to
make it elastic enough to cover the
period of its so far existence and that,
inadequate as it now is, it is still a
monument to their wisdom.

COL, CODY'S DEATH
BRINGS Up MEMORY
OF annie OAKLEY

Remember Annie Oakley. the Annie
Of wild west fame who is noted
throughout the world for her connect

Course you do, because she has at
one time or other been the heroine of
greatest fame to every boy and girl.
In her childhood dage, she was espec-
tally well known In Wayne county and
Greenville, O., which is only twenty

being the birth place Of the champion

Woman Beats Champion.
The recent death of Col. william
Cody has recalled to the memory of
Darke county people the black haired
Quaker miss of eighteen who chal-
lenged Frank Butler, champion shot
of the world, who in the eighties was
travelling with show which stopped
at Greenville. The young woman beat
the champion.
Butler and Miss Oakley met again a
year later. An hour after, the mar

Of schooling, "Anne Oakley and Frank

West show in 1885. Buffalo Bill. then
at the heighth of his fame frowned at
a girl entering his show but the deadly
accuracy of the girl with a rifle was
not to be laughed at. AS time grew
on, the friendship between the Darke

cell. They will attract Industries and
people," said Mr.. Leeds.
1t was explained that after the COM
mission plan had been in force some
time in other states 1t was found to
be not altogether satisfactory When
ar investigation was made, 1t was
found that probably the reason was
that people selected the department
heads. All departments require ex-
perts It Is the common fault of people
to vote for a man because they like
him without considering his qualifica-
lions. 1t was also found that '1og
rolling was q common practice with
the commissioners.
Then came the city manager plan
which was probably borrowed from
Germany" Mr. Leeds said.
Under this plan, people elect three
or five commissioners who serve with
little or no pay and who appoint "a
manager for the city. They make the
selection after carefully considering
all qualifications. This plan is prov
ing successful in some forty cities
where it has been adopted. This man.
ager has no political debts to pay. He
appoints his five department heads
who are responsible to him and for
whom the manager is responsible to
the people.
Manager 10 Responsible.
The city manager Is responsible for
the conduct of city affairs Laws are

endum and recall. The city manager
and the commissioners are subjected
to the recall.
The peculiar thing is that the recall
has been used only two times. 1t
serves as a club over officials who
have inclinations to do wrong or neg
lect duties, 1t was explained.
II feel reasonably sure that the legis-
lature will make 1t optional for cities
to maintain their present form of gov
eminent or to adopt the commission
or city manager plans" Mr.. Leeds said
in conclusion.
After Mr.. Leeds had finished the ex-
PLANTATION of the various types of city
government there was considerable
discussion of the merits of the plans
by members Of the association board.
From the trend of talk 1t could be con-
cluded that the city manager type was
favored.
'Tf knew vas going to vote myself
out of a job tomorrow by voting for
city manager form of government for
Richmond, l would vote for it," said
Alfred Bavis. president of the board of
public works.
William Haberkern, who has an
nounced his candidacy for the Demo
cratic nomination for mayor, declared
that he also favored the city manager
form of government.

To Auoid Dandruf

You do not want a slow treatment
for itching scalp when hair is falling
and the dandruff germ is killing the
hair roots. Delay means-no hair.
/, Get, at any drug store, bottle of
zemo for 25c or $l.O0 for extra large
size. Use as directed, for it does the
work quickly. 1t kills the dandruff
germ, nourishes the hair roots and i'm
mediately stops itching scalp. It is
a pure, reliable, antiseptic liquid, is not
greasy, is easy to use and will not stain
Soaps and sf1ampoos are harmful. as
they contain alkali. The best thing to
use for scalp irritations is zemo, for it
is safe and also inexpensive.

The people hold a check over these
officials through the initiative, refer

What Initiative Permits.
The initiative gives the people the
right to propose legislation.
The referendum gives a specified
per cent of the voters the right to de-
mand that legislation be submitted to
a vote to be either ratified or rejected.
The recall is the same right that
any business holds over its employees.
explained the speaker. The recall
gives the voters means by which
they can discharge an incompetent Of

of the voters decide that an official
is not qualified for the position he
holds they may petition for a recall
election. On the recall ballot the
