1t appeared as though the natural
elements had combined for the purpose
of entertaining the visitors and giving
them view of genuine Minnesota
weather. The dust clung to the pave

sweet-laden perfumed zephyrs and the

Gov. Hogg's Quart Bottles.

"Do YOU know that You rarely see a
quart bottle? | mean by that bottle
that holds Il quart" said B. B. Hart, of
Mineola, Tex, at the Lindell. A few
years ago when Jim Hogg. who is now
governor of the state of Texas, was
prosecuting attorney of Wood county,
he filed complaint against every liquor
dealer in the county who had quart
license. He had been investigating
the matter and found that the bottles
they were selling for quarts would
hold enlv a pint and half. A little
figuring showed that there was a saw
ing to the dealer of eleven gallons of
whisky on every barrel he sold by the
quart. Scores of cases were filed
against each dealer, but by pleading
guilty to one case against each man
and promising to sell full quarts in the

THE VETO POWER IN OHIO.
Why 1t Was Taken Away from the Gov
erDor of That state.

The question is frequently asked
why the governor of Ohio is not clothed
with the veto power. The fact that he

cent of the population.
OhiO's first governor, when it was in
the territorial stage, possessed the
veto power, and the peculiar manner
in which he exercised it when the ter
ritorial legislature submitted two bills
for his approval burned so deeply into
the souls of the Buckeyes that almost
a century of political, social and ma
tional progress has not effaced it.
When Gen. Arthur St. Clair was ter
ritorial governor he was entitled by
law to receive as a part of his perquis-
ties fee of 81 for each marriage cele-
brated in the territory. Two dollars
at that period was pretty large sum.
and the members of the popular branch
of the legislature came to the conclu-
sion that it had a tendency to discour-
ace matrimonial ventures.
The young ladies didn't like the idea
of the governor regulating the ques-
ton of maria ge, and the boys couldn't
understand the necessity of paying
him so much money for permit to
get married.
The uDshot of the matter was that
the general assembly concluded to, re-
peal the marriage fee grant and give
the boys and girls a chance. There
was no love lost between Gov. Stellar
and the house of representatives, but
the latter were chivalrous enough to
make up the governors loss in another
direction.
Accordingly, they figured out how
much the governor would receive an
nually in marriage fees. Then they
passed two separate bills-one abolish

correspondingly increasing the COVER.

Clair, but they were willing to treat
him fairly in this matter.

accompanying the one abolishing the

the bill over the governors veto, bu

A few years later the first constitu

bers of the territorial legislature were
in the convention that framed it. The
convention refused to give the ques

later, in 1852. the distrust OF the exec
utive veto had not died out in the
hearts of the Buckeyes, and the at

power was again defeated.
But for that 81 marriage fee the gov
ernor of Ohio would, no doubt, be in
vested with the veto power.
