What is Being Done Toward the
Early Commencement of tho
New Building In
ksskuh.
THE PLANS EXAMINED
Gsheva Club Picnic Tomorrow Nigh,
and Plans Being Made for
4 juno Excur-
sion.

The advisory board Of the Young
Women's Christian Association at
their last meeting looked very care
fully over the plans for the new build
ing. They recommended some very
radical changes in the basement and
in the third story which Is the board
ing department, but approved in gem
eral the plans for the first and second
floors on which the main features of
the association are to be conducted.
The trouble with the boarding home
located in the third story is that the
present plans did not give sufficient
ventilation and not enough sitting
room space for the girls. In the base
ment there was not convenient, con-
nection between the shower bath and
bath locker, and the boiler room was
complained of as being too cramped.
These obstacles are not thought to
be sufficient to cause any serious de-
lay in the commencement, as every
thing Is under active advisement and
in a very short time will be adjusted
satisfactorily to all concerned. The
changes can be adjusted or abandon
ed without much trouble, and will not
interfere in the least with the general
plans outlined in the beginning
The money subscribed is being paid
in rapidly and new subscriptions are
being received to give the most graft

long before the first shovel full OF
dirt will be taken from the grounds

Geneva Club Picnic

Tomorrow evening at 6 O'Clock the

ticipated picnic at Kilbourne's park, a

Washington's Toast.

Washington's consideration for the
feelings of others is we'll shown in the
following story:

CORVALLIS at Yorktown, and the Eng

French commander. Rochambeau, was
dining with General Washington.
According to custom. ROchambeau
was asked for toast, and in answer
gave:

How to Fight a Consti'
tutional Amendment.

An important truth which
should be known to all voters is
that they cannot beat any of the
proposed amendments to the con-
stitution by refraining from vot-
ing. A failure to vote will count
neither way, and the affirmative
vote on any proposition, if it is
greater than the negative vote,
will carry the proposition through
The constitution provides two
ways for making amendments.
The proposition may be made by
the legislature; and if it is so
made, submission must be at the
next election for senator's and
representatives: ''and if a ma
iority of the electors voting at
such election shall adopt such a.
mendment, it shall become part
of the constitution" Or amend
ments may be proposed by a con-
stitutional convention; but mo
amendment agreed upon by any
convention shall take effect un-
til the same shall have been sub
mitted to the electors of the state
and adopted by a majority of
those voting thereon.
The latter method, of course,
is the one employed this year.
Therefore it will not matter how
many voters stay at home. A
majority of those voting on any
proposition will adopt or reject
| it. The man who will not take
the trouble to vote one way OF
the other is simply eliminated
from consideration. Thus, if but
5000 electors vote on a PROPOSE
ton and the remainder of thu
million electors ignore it, 25O-
affirmative votes will write it In
to the constitution.
The way to fight one OF thes
propositions to amend is to tigt

VOL. 8l-EstabIishediS32.
The Constitutional Pro-
posals.

ference to various Of the propos-
ais of the constitutional cCnven-
ton which are to be voted on
September 8, next. Most men
have probably decided whether
or not they favor license sys-
tenn, the initiative and the ref
erendum, woman suffrage and
various other of the better known
matters touched upon.
Some other features are less
understood. Some are not to be
considered individually because
of their unavoidable connection
with other affairs and interests.
This is particularly true of some
of the proposals in reference to
hours of labor, the minimum
wage, employers liability, the
force and effect of injunctions
and decisions by two thirds Of a
jury.
These are all subjects that
should be studied carefully. If
conditions relative to labor and
production were uniform in the
several states less importance
would attach to some of the mat
ters mentioned. But if manu-
facturers in Ohio are to be plac-
ed under restrictions that are not
made in adjacent states it is easy
to see the handicap that will be
imposed upon them.
It is an old but true saying
that you can't eat your cake and
keep it. Neither can cost of pro-
duction be increased without
corresponding cost to the con-
sumer. If limitations are placed
upon production that are not
placed upon contiguous produc-
ers of the same commodity it is
easy to understand that the lat
ter are given an advantage that
is bound to be felt by the form
er.
To illustrate:
Here are two concerns, one up
on one side of the Ohio river-ln
West Virginia or Kentucky-the
other in Ohio. Or in same line
of illustration, one in Indiana or
Pennsylvania, and the other in
Ohio, but both operated by the
same company.
If certain conditions prevail,
or legislation is enacted which
makes the restrictions upon the
manufactures in Ohio much more
severe, which naturally increas-
es the cost of production in Ohio
as against the cost of production
in West Virginia, Kentucky, In
diana or Pennsylvania, how long
are those establishments going
to continue to do business In the
state? And how much less is
the chance for the Ohio manu-
factory to compete with similar
ones under other management in
those states that may be free OF
handicapping conditions?
A popular clamor has gone up
in behalf of some of the propos-
ais for the new constitution
which should be analyzed care
fully by every voter and espec-
tally by those whose main inter
est is to preserve a market fol-

Why Your Heart is Hurt
by Hurrying.

/
active than were the men of a
generation ago.
Everything nowadays is hurry
and hustle and struggle. In the
olden days man took his time a.
bout everything, to the great
benefit of his health and espec-
tally to his heart action.
When man wanted to jour-
ney a long distance he did it by
J stage coach, took several days a.
bout it, stopped at inns each
night, and was generally COM
| Portable. When he wished to
communicate with any one he
leisurely wrote a letter and sent
it by the next post, which might
have gone the same day or a few
days later, and he did not worry
about it.
Today when a man makes a
journey he looks up his time
tables, figures the hours and min
utes he can save, sleeps or tries
to sleep on the train, rushes a.
bout his business and meanwhile
keeps up continual worry a.
bout when he can get through
his task and what connections he
can make to get him back to his
home again with the least loss of
minutes.
All these things act on the
heart. Every noise and worry
and shock and emotion causes
the heart to pump faster, it may
be only for a second, or it may
be for minutes. Every jangle
of the telephone bell acts in this
manner. So does the receipt OF
telegram, although it may be
but for a feeting moment. The
rumble of heavy teams over city
pavements, the roar of elevated
trains, the thousand and one dis
cordant sounds all have their ef-
| feet on the heart.
And the result of this is that
man is too frequently broken in
health at fifty, whereas with his
| same health he would have pro.
