Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-10-10
submitted separately from the body
of the constitution and carried by
large majority Opp. 565, 611).

Turning from the Bill of flights,
the body of the Constitution is Found
to contain not a few innovations,
most of them admirable.
The oath of office required Of all
State and county officials is case in
point. In addition to the usual for
mula each must swear or affirm that
he has not used money improperly to
secure his election; has not violated
any election law; will accept TO CON-
pensation or fee except as provided
by law; nor any free pass. The Off
cial who is convicted Of swearing
falseli is disqualified from holding
that or any other Office.
Such an oath must be deterrent, in
measure at least, of corrupt prac-
tices in elections and of malfeasancc
in Office.
An advanced position is taken in
the limitation of public service and
of work in mines to eight hours per
day. Also in direct primaries for all
officers, including United States Sen
ators.
BY Article xviii complete home rule
is given to municipal corporations.
The voters Of each city frame and
amend their own charter, subject only
to the governors decision as to its
constitutionality. A number of cleo
tors equal to one-fourth of those vot-
ing at The next preceding election
can call a special election for chooS-
ing board of freeholders to draft
a new city charter. A like number
may initiate an amendment to the
charter and have it submitted at a
special election. In the same way,
the voters may ask for a specific or
dinance, and, if tlieir petition is not
granted, the mayor submits it at the
next election to vote Of the people.
So also, the voters are given veto
upon any ordinance passed by the city
council
Besides these forms of optional in
itiative and referendum, colnpul-
sorry referendum is provided upon
the grant or renewal of franchises,
none of which can exceed twenty
years.
Then occurs the following wise and
unique proviso:
"Nor shall the power to regulate
the charges for public services be
surrendered; and no exclusive fran
chises shall ever be granted"
A special Indebtedness may be in
cured by popular vote for the pur-
pose of putting in force the follow-
ing clause:
"Sec. 6. Every municipal ~corpor-
alton within the State shall have the
right to engage in any business or
enterprise which may be engaged Ill
by person, firm or corporation by
virtue of franchise from said cor
poration. :"

Worry Worse Than Work.

Worry is only the extra work, the
increased wear and tear for which we
are never paid. 1t always hinders,
but never wins. 1t means incapacity
for anticipated efforts and yet we con-
stantly blame circumstances rather
than our individual selves, The man
who is always ready and takes time
to he sure before he starts never need
hurry or worry low few can do this
consistently! Then comes the break
down which is so often charged TO
mere overwork. In 80 cases in 100
it is the worry, always useless, that
eventually weakens and kills.

MANY SOURCES OF SALT.

ally Most Nearly Pure.

The purity OF salt depends upon the

stances both as relishing condiment
and well-nigh universal food pre-
sentative, is exhaustless, yet even so
there is salt and salt. says the Pic
torial Review.
Formerly salt was obtained by evap-
Grating ocean water, a process that
left many impurities in the residuum,
TO say nothing of it's exposure to all
kinds Of dirt In its shipment from sea-
ports. The Turks island OF rock salt,

its arrival 1t is again handled, then

condition IL reaches the consumer.
Latterly, however, the product OF
salt springs has largely taken the lead
in this country not only for table salt
but for meat packing. The annual
production from this source In the
United States reaches more than 49,

In the vicinity of Syracuse furnishing
large proportion of this important

says:
Governor Conner in a statement is

give the railroad companies until Oc-

enacted rate law. If they do not COM
ply by that time he says he will call
a special session of the legislature and
urge the enactment of even more dras-

was the result of instructions given to
the federal grand jury yesterday.
Judge Thomas G. Jones urged the
indictment of any county or state Of

the injunctions issued by his court null

passed by the Legislature. Judge
Joness charge in an answer to the

GOMPERS DEFIANT.
Would Violate Injunction IL 1t Inter-
fered With His Rights.

Washington. Aug 22.-Following a
meeting of the executive council OF
the American Federation of Labor,
President GomperS said that most
probably the federation would bring
counter suit against the National Man
ufacturers' association, charging thar
BODY with conspiracy. He stated that
the association recently met in New
York with the object of devising
means for the injury of organized la
bor and that it has been made evil
dent that there is to be concerted ac-
ton against that interest.
Mr. Gompers charged that the re-
cent Vancleave injunction proceedings
against boycotts and publication OF
unfair lists were instigated by the
manufacturers association which, he
saws. recently decided to raise $1,50O.-
600 to crush organized labor. Mr..
Gompers added:
''The executive council of the Ameri-
ran Federation of Labor decided that
the case to be met in the courts shaif
take on the broadest scope. The ex-
ercise of our rights sought to be en-
iofned are not illegal or unlawful, and
we will continue to assert them.
