TT veto Few cr En- ohio.

The question ia often asked why the
people Of Ohio have not clothed the
Chief Magistrate of the State with the
veto power, which is done in all the 9th
er States Of the Union The reason was
this: Before Ohio was organized as
Stat, in 1902, and while it was under
its Territorial government, the Govern
~, General Arthur St Clair, had an ab-
soIu;e ve5o over ali the acts of the Ter
y,t0rial legislature. He was Federal
1T Of tie hottest kind The Legislature
Was Democratic The consequence was
hat he vetoed nearly all the laws that
we're passed His exercise of the veto
power Was so sweeping and indiscrimin-
a;e hat il dis4sted the people. When
they came to form State Constitution,
5hp delegates assembled, under bitter
feeling Of resentment to the abuse of the
veto prerogatiye They refused to lodge
the power in any future Chief Magistrate
This provision OF the Constitution of
1902 was continued under that of 1851.
There are great many who are igno.
rant of the fact 1t was only a few years

him;
"T wish to recommend most earues y
that some more definite and effective
provision be made for instruction in vo-
cal music All children should be taught
to sing. 1t can be done in the public
schools better than anywhere else A
competent teacher can be secured at very
light expense. In my opinion the same
alpount Of motley cannot he expended
SO advantageously in any other way
The teaching Of vocal music will have q
good effect, physically, mentally and
morally. Scholars who are taught to
sing viii study more diligently, and will
behave better. l Ibelieye it would pay to
teach vocal music simply as q means tc
sccnre good hchayior and rapid progress
