ANOTHER WARCL0UD
HOvering Over the Far East.
Russia Refuses to EvdCudte Man
Churid and Japan Will
Help China.

Yokohama, Oct 6.-With the ap-
proach of Oct. S,the nominal date for
Russia's evacuation o; Manchuria,
great tension is observable among
the Japanese populace, but in dip
lomatic quarters 1t is reaffirmed that
hopefulness prevails of an amicable
settlement of the imbrogilo between
Russia and Japan on the basis of
minor concessions by Russia in Corea
and Manchuria, though officials do
not profess to expect that the evac-
alton of Manchuria will be effected
on the exact date mentioned.
BARONS ~ CONFERENCE.
Baron Won Rosen, the Russian min
lister to Japan, has returned here
from a conference with Viceroy
Alexieff. and had a conference with
Baron Komura, the Japanese foreign
minister.
Baron Komura has since given out
a hopeful interview, but the Japan
ese ministers for war and navy there
after had long conferences with
the emperor, indicating that prepa.
rations are going on to meet any
eventuality. The feet and the army
are both, without question. in readi
ness, and large supplies for botf
army and navy have been accumu
lated.
| JAPANESE STATESMEN CALM.
The Japanese statesmen remain
calm. Japan apparently considers
herself capable of dealing with Rus
sia single-handed. 1t is true that
England is supporting Japan strong
ly at Pekin and Seoul, Corea, but il
is thought here that England and
France desire peace at any price.
Germany is ostensibly neutral
The United States is chiefly concern
ed in her commercial treaty witt
China, to be signed Oct. s, but thu
Japanese press claims that Americ;
is ready to lend Japan her strong
moral support against any unfair en-
croachments.

undermining the Constitution.

Columbus Journal.
1t is fortunate thing for the state
that the supreme court has upheld
the validity of the Longworth con-
siitutional amendment act. Il
Almost beyond the shadow of a
doubt the decision means that the
constitution will be revised and mod
ernized. 1t means that the governor !
will be given the veto power; that
holders of stock in Ohio corporations !,
will no longer be held liable in dou- .
bic the amount represented by their |
shares, and that each county here
after will have at least one repre-
general assembly.
The governor of Ohio ought to
have the veto power. Tie confer
ring of such authority upon the chief
executive will act as a wholesome
check upon legislation and will les
sen the chance of enactment of fool
ish and vicious laws. The amend
ment upon which voters will pass
judgement on election day wisely
provides that bill may be passed
over the governors veto by a vote of
two-thirds of the members of each
branch of the legislature. Thus it
makes the governor directly respon-
sible for all legislation, while 1t does
not make an autocrat.
The double liability provision of
the constitution has done more than
any other one force to drive capital
out of Ohio. 1t was made part of
the states organic law when corpor-
ate business was little understood
and before there was any just con.
ception of the material advantage
I to the state of the investment OF
Ohio money in Ohio enterprises. We
believe there is practically no oppo-
sition to the adoption of this amend
1 ment. There should be absolutely
: none.
1t stands to reason that a lawmak
er who represents but one county In
{ the lower house of the Legislature
will give that county, where he him
: self makes his home, more intelligen
;, thought and attention than he coult
: possibly give 1t If it we're but ont
> county of joint district represented
!, by him. The adoption of the count,
;, Representative amendment will stim
: ulate local pride and assure the small
er counties of better treatment a
i the hands of the legislature.
/ The veto power amendment wa
approved by the Republican stat
! convention and a brief statement o
y its purpose will be printed in the Re
publican ticket on the official ballot
The leader of the Democratic part,
has bolted his own platform in SO ia
as to indorse this amendment. w,
= agree with Mayor johnson that bot
parties should unite to give the gov
ernor the veto power.
l. The double liability and count,
IS representative amendments were In
). dorsed by both party conventions an
either a straight Republican vote o
a straight Democratic vote will b
# counted for them. Their adoption
thus made certain.
n These three amendments are nee(
ed to make of the half-century-ol
. constitution, a modern instrument.

ISSUED by the Ohio Society
for the Prevention of

to Be Taken BY a Cen
Sumptive For the Protection of
Others and Himself.

We have seen that tuberculosis is
always caused by a living organism.
That in consumption, or pulmonary
tuberculosis, this germ is found only
in the sputum. Let this be promptly
cared for and the consumptive may
without danger mingle freely with
his family and the public.
Consumption may exist for time
with but little cough and no expec-
toration. During this period no spe-
cial precautions are needed. The
danger begins when there is expec
toration.

DR.. Bay reganed consciousness and 1t
is expected that his recovery will be
speedy.
1t is supposed that DIR. Bay. while
returning from call 70 the country,
was attacked by a bandit whose aim
was robbery However,, when he was
found, there was nothing missing from
his person.
After DR. Bay had regained con-
seriousness he told the following story:
He said that he was returning from q
call west of this city aud was nearing
the covered bridge west of Eddyville
about II o'clock Monday night when
kis horse suddenly became frightened,
AS he was crossing the bridge he was
struck a mighty blow on the head
which completely stunned him. and he
knew nothing more unSl he regaihea
consciousness a his home.
The road near the bridge where Dr..
Bay was attacked was made with
view to robbery. DR.. Fay states that
he believes there Was only one person
who made the attack, but OWING TO the
tia riSness he is unable to give de-
scription of the party.
The city marshal was g once notl1iea
of the attack, but with the meager IN
Formation concerning the affair 1t mas
been impossible for the officers to make
any Roadway in tracking the bandit.

OUR INSTINCT TO CHEW.
1t Manifests Itself In Numerous and
Curio1lsA Ways

Seeing that the maxillary apparatus
of man has for long ages past been put
to vigorous use, 1t is not surprising that
the need to exercise IT should express
itself as a powerful instinct. This in
stinct manifests itself In many and
curious ways. During the early months
of life the natural function of feeding
at the breast provides the infants
jaws, tongue and lips with all the need
full exercise, This bottle feeding fails
to do, and we frequently find bottle fed
children seeking to satisfy the natural
gers or any convenient object az hand.
The teeth are a provision for biting
hard foods, but even before they actu-
ally appear we find the child seeking
to exercise his toothless gums on any
hard substance he can lay hold Of, and
there can be DO doubt that exercise OF
this kind tends TO facilitate the erup-
ton of the teeth. a truth indeed recog-
nized universally, whether by the prim-
tive mother who strings the tooth of
some wild animal round the neck of
her infant or the up to date parent
who provides her child with bejewel-
ed ivory or coral bauble.
When the teeth have erupted. the
masticatory instinct finds among print
tive peoples abundant satisfaction In
the chewing Of the coarse, hard foods
which constitute their dietary; but
among us moderns, subsisting, as we
do, mainly on soft foods. afrording but
little exercise for the masticatory APP
paratus, 1t does not find its proper ex-
preston, and thus tends to die out.
long continues to assert itself. Witness
the tendency of children to bite their
pencils and penholders. have known
a child to gnaw through bone pen
holder much in the same way as q
carniyorous animal gnaws at bone.
This instinct to chew for chewing q
sake manifests itself all over the world.
In our own country not only do chill
dren bite pencils and penholders, but
they will chew small pieces of india
rubber for hours together. The prac-
tice of gum chewing, so common among
our American cousins, evidently comes
down from farotf times, for the print
tive Australians chew several kinds of
gum. attributing to them nutrient
qualities and the Patagonians are said
to keep their teeth white and clean by
chewing matri, a gum which exudes
from the incense bush.-Lancet.

Prize Sentences.

The winner of prize of guinea
offered by the London academy to the
person who should select the three
most pregnant and felicitous sentences
from any authors, chose the following
three quotations. The first was from
Ruskin:
Fancy plays like a squirrel in its
circular prison and is happy; but imag
ination is pilgrim on the earth-and
her home is in heaven The second
sentence was taken from the works Of
Mazzini: encouragement is but dis
enchanted egotism." The third was
the following from Robert Louis Ste.
yenson: 'The true wisdom fs to be al
ways seasonable, and to change with
good grace in changing circum-
stances. To love playthings well 40 a
child, to lead an adventurous and hon
orable youth and to settle when the
time arrives into green and smiling
age is to be good artist in life and
deserve well Of yourself and your
neighbour
