 Railroad avenue, Messrs. Officers? Is there not a tacit agreement, or is it not generally understood, that women of the underworld shall not ply their vocation on that thorough fare, or anywhere else in Williams except in that part of town espec- ially set aside for them?

Notice to Property Owners

Owing to the unsanitary con- dition of the town, it is necessary to have all alleys, vacant lots and other places where rubbish or gar bage has accumulated, thoroughly cleaned. A complete renovation of all premises will serve to destroy the disease germs and thereby pre- vent typhoid fever, malaria and kindred diseases.
 Complaints regarding the refusal of any one to clean up their prem ises should be made to the town health officer.
 Prosecution will follow if this order is not carried out at once.

Sought Surcease of Sorrow

Despondent, discouraged and her mind perhaps temporarily unbal- anced by her troubles, Cora Miller, on Friday afternoon of last week, placed pistol to her breast and fired the shot that eventually resulted in death. The weapon used was 38-caliber revolver. The bullet went entirely through the body, puncturing the left lung in it's passage, causing internal hemorrhage. She fingered until Monday morning, when death mer- cifully relieved her of her suffer ings: Miss Miller, it is said, had been in depressed spirits for several weeks past, and had threatened to end her existence, but none of her associates supposed she intended carrying her threats into execution. The coroner's jury brought in a verdict that she came to her death by self-inficted wound. She was 23 years of age.

After a life Of sixty years, the pres.
ent constitution of Ohio Is to be re-
vised The delegates to do this work
will be elected on the seventh of No,
yember. They are placed in nomina,
tion directly by petition. Each peti'
ton must have not less than two per
cent OF the votes of the county, All
nominating petitions must be fled by
the seventh of October
Names of candidates are printed on
separate ballots, without party EN-.
blems.
Each party has the same number Of
delegates in the convention as it has
members in the lower house of repre-.
sentatives. Delegates receive the
same salary as members Of the legis.
lature.
The constitution that they draft
must be submitted to the direct vote

Under the law, the convention must

into mere party squabbles for party
advantage, with no thought. 1t least
no action, for the public welfare. Cor
porate and individual interests often
overshadow the public interests. It
is necessary to have a wholesome
check upon a Legislature so that when
it will not act for the public welfare
1t will be powerless to force vicious
legislation upon the people There
can be no more wholesome check
than the whole body of the elector-
ate, which, while it may not always
act wisely, will not designedly act
yiciously and will seldom do so even
by mistake.
THE adoption of an initiative and
referendum amendment to 0Tr con-
stitution would not change sbe form
Of our government. It would not nee
essarily change anything that is good
in our legislative system, for as long
as the legislature acted for the peo-
pie it would not be necessary for the
people to use their veto power over
legislation or initiate legislation for
Themselves. The fact that the peo-
pie could at will exercise tie veto
and the initiative powers would be
sufficient to keep corrupting inau-
ences away from the legislature and
to make the members of the leglsla-
ture careful in all its actions"
After discussing the details OF
method, Judge Brantly said that the
initiative and referendum would de-
stroy the opportunity for corrupt
practices BY dissipating the money in
duence, and would in large measure
take away entirely the inducements
which designing and corrupt men now
have for going into the Legislature.
The actual, Independent power of the
would be swept away, and
.rade and jobbery would be much
more difficult The citizen would |
rave no cause to complain of any
me but himself in, case things should |
20 wrong. The honesty and Judicious-
less Of legislation would be gauged
~ the honesty and intelligence Of the
people, and the responsibility would
est upon them alone if we did not
hen have a government of the peo-
lie, by the people, for the people,"

is already practiced in the case of
constitutions and their proposed
amendments. 1t is not proposed in
the coming constitutional convention
to so amend it that these principles Of
direct legislation may be abused or
be invoked by a handful Of voters at
caprice.
"The I. r. will simply give the peo-
pie, all the people, equal powers in
legislation. If you cannot trust your
fellow citizen to help make the laws
then our government isn't much of
democratic republic. A fundamental
error among many opponents of the
/. r. is the innocent delusion that it
is proposed to initiate and refer all
laws"
