CRuEL TO THE YouNG

The efforts of the police to stop the reck-

the regulations as to bell and lamp attach

AZ IMrnoyEn VETO.

Every few years ln occasion arises DEM
onstrating the dcsirabiiity of modifying
the veto prcrogative of the President. At
present IL is the veto of the river and lar
Dor bill which points in that direction. Tie
present method is neither fair to the Presi-
dent nor TO The country. Hardly any ap-
preparation bill is passed by Congress but
contains some items which the President
would like to eliminate. He is pow erless.
however, in his objection TO them; he must
either approve or reject the bill in its en-
tircty There is no question but that If
discretionary power were conferred upon
the President in this respect, it would be
better for all interests. Nor is II only the
appropriation bills that would he improved
by this modification of the veto; many
other bills contain Objectionable clauses
respecting which the President might ex-
ercise his discretion without approving or
disappearing the whole measure. The
control of Congress over legislation would
not be abridged by the change, because It
would retain the power to pass vetoed
clauses the Presidents objections to
does now with vetoed bill.
No doubt there are many items in the
river aud harbor Lii which lack all merit
and have no valid claim TO consideration.
Some have been inserted. the President
declares, in opposition TO the recommenda-
tions of the engineer officers; concerning
others The engineers were not consulted
at all, and they got in through the IA
miliar system OF logrolling. Perhaps not
quite So large Il number of rivers has,
beeu remembered that are altogether dry
in summer, hut still they lave not been
kept out altogether. And yet, taken as
whole, the bill is preferable 10 others that
have bee n passed because of the continuing
contracts that are provided for. These of
themselves constitute no immediate drain
upon the Treasury, and only Il fraction Of
the S62, 500, 900 directly aud contingently
upon the Treasury for the next fiscal year
II is more than probable that the entire
bill would not have been vetoed if the
President had had il in his power to pick
out the, to him, Objectionable features OF
it and confine his objections to them. In
many Instances these objections would no
doubt command support in the branch Of
Congress where the bill originated and n
two-thirds vote for them could not be OBJ
tanned. From whatever standpoint con
sidered it would seem that the modified
veto would be a highly desirable innova-

WOMEN'S CLUBS.

From all over the country delegates of
women's clubs are gathered this week in
st. Louis in annual convention. Ii is
with women's clubs, pretty much as with
mems. there are good, bad and Indifferent.
The club, whether of men or OF women,
that caters simply to the social instinct. and
has no uther purpose than TO eDcourag gos-
sip and its concumiaDt evils, is to be
classed as entirely bad, especially for wo-
men, because it is an enemy of the home
life. Tie club which serves mainly this
purpose. but also mildly concerns itself
with seini-literary entertainment, comes
under the head of Indifferent. That club,
however, the aim and object of which
areto encourage women'ss sphere of thought
aud action, open up to her new fields of
activity, sharpen the intellect by the fric-
tion that is eDgendered by contact with
bright minds, that club is of the very best,
and its influence for good uDmeasured.
No good reason exists why women of
every age and condition should not fire.
quent clubs of this kind. They obtain there
a clearer insight into questions that con-
Germ not only public life. but the domestic
circle as We'll, for it must be remembered
that but little legislation is enacted that
does not cause some reflex action in the
home. The Intricate questions of the tariff
for instance. have a direct bearing upon the
expenses of the household, and Internal
revenue legislation equally affects the fam
lily cxchequer. Finance, the value of the
oil
jects that have a more or less close con-
ncction with the economy of the home, and
ii can only benefit women to know some
thing of them. In a general way such n
club must iibcraizc the thought of its mem-
bers, enlarge the horizon of their under
standing, and make them more fit to dis
charge the duties lcGitimately falling to
their share. as well as render them more eff
ficent as hclrmatcs of their husbands.
Another phase, however, remains yet to
be considered. There are today hundreds
OF women in every large city who con-
duct business establishments OF their own,
or as managers for others, or who are in
one way or another connected with the
store or the counting room. 1t cannot be
disputed that such women will derive ad-
vantage from being brought into contact
with one another and exchanging opin-
ions upon subjects of mutual interest. Al
together the right kind of woman's
club is good thing. If it has not get
reached perfection it is in that respect
very much like mems clubs and, like them,
too, it will improve with time
