"The spirit and intent of the entire
amendment is to give to the cities and
villages of the state the fullest oppor-
tunity for home rule in local matters
affecting their inhabitants, solely or
primarily, as distinguished from the
people not living within corporate
limits. 1t is clearly in line with the
trend of development in city life in
all countries and not least in the
United States. 1t will make possible
and easy development in all matters
which make civic betterment-the ex-
tension of the park system, the work
ing out of the proposed civic center,
the better utilization of our parks and
other open spots for recreation pur-
poses and the making of the city a
place where all sorts and conditions
of our people may really live under
better coalitions instead of merely
existing under conditions, some of
which are not credit to city civiliza-
tion in the twentieth century.
At the same time the proposed
amendment retains in the hands of
the state the power to limit the rate
of taxation and creation of indebted
ness for local purposes, thus guarding
inexperienced cities against the
dangers of unwise municipal specula-
tion in untried fields.
"Since more than one-half of our
people live in cities and villages this
amendment is beyond question one of
the most important which the con-
vention has been called upon to con-
slider, and it is certain that its adop-
ion will usher in new era in Ohio
municipal matters and will enable the
urban residents of this state to obtain
for themselves those opportunities
which the cities of many other states
have long enjoyed, but which the
rigidity of our present constitution
has prevented us from having.

BREADS.

For those living in the country or
small towns, where fresh compressed
yeast cake is not obtainable, the fol-
lowing method of making bread will
be found most satisfying, in fact 1t Is
used by many city households. who
prefer it to any other:
Cook six medium-siZed potatoes in
water to cover; mash and strain the
potato and water in which It was
cooked over four tablespoonfuls Of
-four, four tablespoonfuls Of sugar, a
tablespoonful Of salt. Steep packed
tablespoonful of hops In a cup OF
water; pour this water over the other
ingredients, add a quart of water. and
when the mixture is luke warm add a
yeast cake that has been softened in
a little water. The yeast is now ready
for bread.
About two hours before the bread is
needed, prepare the sponge, use cup
or cup and half of the yeast mixture,
adding more salt and some shorten
ing, with -four enough to knead as soft
as it can be handled. Knead ten min
utes, make into loaves or buns and
when light bake without further knead-
ing.
This bread is so simple to make, so
good in favor and one can prepare 1t
on short notice, that every housewife
should keep some of the yeast on
hand.
Graham Bread.-Take three cups OF
graham flour, two cups Of sour milk,
two teaspoonfuls of soda, two-thirds
of cup of dark brown sugar. a pinch
of salt. Mix all together and bake one
hour in a slow oven.
Brown 5read.-Three cups Of gra-
ham -four, two of white -four and one
of cornmeal, a half cup Of sugar, a
teaspoonful Of soda, two teaspoonfuls
of salt, two cups each Of warmed
sweet milk and two of water; add q
compressed yeast cake, beat well, put
in tins at night, cover air tight. Bake
in the morning one hour. This makes
two loaves.

Municipal Ownership Possible.

This obviously makes it possible
for any city, If it so desires, to under
take enterprises for civic betterment
without having to wait for specific
authority from the legislature. This
should obviate in a great degree the
logrolling which has hitherto been 80
characteristic o. legislation affecting
cities and villages in the state of
Ohio. In a word, the municipalities
will have a free hand to carry on
their own business so long as they
do not, in working out their desires,
interfere with matters affecting the
general welfare of the state as a
whole.
"Third.-The proposed amendment
specifically provides that all munich
palities shall have the right to pur-
chase, construct or operate public
utilities for the purpose of supplying
their service or product to the munic-
ipality or it's inhabitants, and to a
limited extent it may supply that
product to people outside of the mu-
nicipal boundaries. This provision is,
of course, a distinct recognition of
municipal ownership as applied to
public utilities and will confer upon
cities and villages all needed power
for the accomplishment of that pur.
pose, but with sufficient Limitation to
prevent any danger of it's abuse.

New Era for municipalities.

AS seen by Professor George w.

convention from Franklin county, the
adoption by the convention and ratifi-
cation by the people at the polls of

development for every municipality in

campaign issue of the late Tom L..
Johnson of Cleveland, mayor of the
city on the hill, is becoming a reality,
as Ohio is seeing the wisdom of allow
ing each community to enjoy larger
freedom in questions of government.
There is only negligible opposition
to the proposal and its early adop-
tion is forecast. Mr.. Knight has pre-
pared an outline of the "home rule"
proposal.

Find charred Body in Ruins.

Columbus.-Fire of undetermined
origin reduced the c. & E. Shoe Fac
tory, go East Fulton street, to smok-
ing heap of ruins, with loss esti-
mated roughly by Chas. B. Wolfe,
president of the company, at close to
100000. OF this only $4,000 will
come back as insurance. James Ar
mold, watchman at the plant, is dead
and 900 are thrown out of work. Ar
nold's death was probably caused
when he fell down the front steps,
on his way to call the fire depart

The fire originated in the rear of

ton street just west of Webster al
ley. Arnold made his a. m. call and
the fire was discovered within five
minutes after his 3:2O call was due.

WAYS OF PREPARING FISH.

Fish is usually so well liked and in
most places cheap and plentiful, that
different ways of serving 1t will be
welcome.
Boiled Fish In Court Bouillon.-
Mince one onion, one stalk of celery,
three sprigs Of parsley, and fry, In a
little butter; add two teaspoonfuls OF
salt, six peppercorns, bay leaf, three
cloves, two quarts of boiling water
and a pint of vinegar. Boil fifteen
minutes and keep to boil fish in. Rub
the fish with salt and lemon juice, tie
In thin piece Of muslin and boil un-
til the fish falls from the bones.
According to good authorities, fish
loses from ten to fifty per cent of its
weight in their preparation for cook
ing. They should in all cases be killed
Immediately upon catching, both for
humane reasons and for their food
value.
Fish Hash.-Melt a tablespoonful or
butter in a saucepan, add a cup or
milk and two cups of any kind OF
cooked fresh fish, freed from bones and
skin and picked into small pieces.
Season to taste, simmer five minutes
and serve on slices Of dipped toast.
ANY fish sauce left over from a preVi-
GUS meal may be used in place Of the
milk in the hash.
Baked Fish With Dcessing.-Bone
or leave the bones in. 1t is not dlf-
ficult task to remove the bones, and
it is much easier carved. Make
dressing, using bread crumbs and sea-
soning of salt, pepper, onion juice
and lemon peel and nutmeg. Rub the
fish we'll with salt, stuff not too full
sew up and lay pieces of breakfast ba-
con or salt pork over it and under 1t
while baking.

legislature power to enact minimum

fort, safety and well-being of work
men The proposal is broad enough to
allow enactment of laws to limit the
hours of work of all sorts of labor.
1t will allow passage of an act, fix

Has Been a Worker.

AS member of the judiciary com.
mittee, the taxation committee and
the committee on corporations other
than municipal, the man from Geauga
has been in the thick of the fight all
the way through. But most men have
hobbies and the hobby of Judge Smith
Is his desire to have the office of pro-
bate court retained as part of the jul
dicial system. So he has been fight
ing all the way through tc defeat a
well-defined movement to have the
probate court abolished and seems
now to have the fight fairly won
This sort of victory he prizes
keenly.
For 62 years continuously, or from
1867 to 1909, Judge Smith was pro,
bate judge of Geauga county. Three
years ago he retired after having been
reelected IA times, and the people
gave him a banquet and a gold
watch for remembrance. But some
of the people at the banquet were
mere children and others of them
weren't born when Judge Smith be
gan as probate judge.
'T grew up with the people and they
died, and then had to begin over
and grow up with their children" is
the way Judge Smith graphically ex
presses it.

Saves Cities Expenses.

'First-Relief from the restriction
Of the present constitution, which
seems to require that all cities shall
have uniform type of government
and all villages uniform type. Un-
der the proposed amendment it will
be possible for any city or village
which desires to do so to frame for
itself, through a charter commission
chosen by its own electors, charter
providing such form of government
as 1t may desire. This would enable
Columbus, for example, to adopt a
commission form of government, re-
gardless of the form provided by gen.
eral law for cities in the state. Sim
ilarly, Cleveland, if it desires pure
federal plan of city government, may
adopt 1t without reference to other
cities in the state. This is obviously
municipal home rule in the completest
sense so far as organization and ma
chinery or government are concerned.
1t will relieve small cities from the
expensive burden of maintaining a
cumbersome system merely because
the larger cities need it.
Second Hitherto it has been pos
sible for municipalities legally to do
only those things which they were
specifically authorized by the general
assembly to undertake, and it has
often happened that the needed power
could not be exercised because it had
not been specifically granted in the
general municipal code. Under the
proposed amendment all municipali-
ties will have power in matters of
local government on all subjects
which are not specifically denied by
general laws of the state.
