EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON writes of
the veto and treaty-making powers OF
the president in May Ladies Home
Journal" This Country of Ours" Sc
ries of articles. He discusses the
"pocket veto," and says concerning
the restraints against the exercise of
the veto power that are imposed upon
the president: There is another
practice in legislation that greatly re-
strains the freedom of the president in
using the veto power What are called
riders are often placed in general ap-
preparation bills-that is, legislation of
a general character having nothing to
do with appropriations is put into an
appropriation bill. This is equivalent
to. saying to the president, Give your
approval to this general legislation or
go without the appropriations neces-
sary to carry on the government =
"There are other practical restraints
upon the freedom Of the president in
the exercise of the veto power. Very
many laws contain more than one
proposition number of such
and the president must deal with them
DIS thus associated. In each of the
great appropriation bills many hun
dreds of distinct appropriations are
made. Some of these the president
may think to be wrong, either as a
matter of policy, or of constitutional
power; but he cannot single these out;
he must take the bill as whole. 1t
has been much commended that the veto
was given to enable the president to
defend himself against legislative at
tempts to encroach upon his constitu-
tional powers, or those of the judiciary;
and that he should exercise it only
where he finds constitutional objee-
lions to bill. But the power is not so
limited, and from the beginning has
been exercised upon the ground of the
inexpediency or unwisdom of the legls-
lation proposed, as we'll as upon con-
stitutional grounds. do not suppose
that any president has ever dealt with
the bills submitted for his approval up
onethe principle that he should approve
only such as he would have voted for if
he had been a member of congress.
Much Difference is due to the congress,
and vetoes have customarily been used
only when the fault in the proposed
legislation was serious in itself, or as a
precedent.

The only feature that will save him

dog is the property of Mr.. Richard
Howard OF Columbus, and answers to
the name of "Rosco." One day lately
Roscoe was at home when Mr.. Howard
called up some one there and told them
to put the receiver to Roscoe's ear.
When they did so Mr.. Howard said:
"Roscoe, come to the stable; there are
some rats to kill. The dog instantly
recognized the voice of his master, and,
evincing the greatest pleasure,
FASTENED to get out to go to him at
the stables where he willingly per-
formed the duty required.

A TRAGIC END TO LrPE.
Awful Struggle in . Torrent That Swept

Man to Death.
The most tragic death that has oc-
CURED in this country recently was Of
Chief Engineer William A. Allen, of
the Maine Central railroad, says the
New York World. Those who witnessed
1t will never recover from the horror
OF the scene they looked upon from the
bridge over Lewiston falls. Mr.. Allen
was on his way from Portland to Lewis
ton. AS the train passed onto the bridge
he stepped out upon the rear platform
to glance at some work that was being
done on the sidewalk of the bridge.
The train was moving quite rapidly az
Mr.. Allen reached the platform. Just
at that instant one of the uprights at
the side of the bridge struck him on the
head. He fell forward, clear of the
bridge. A number of workmen had seen
the accident and stood awe-struck,
peering down into the tossing waters
beneath them. They seemed to be de-
prived of motion by the suddenness and
horror of the tragedy taking place be-
fore their eyes. At the point from
which Mr.. Allen was hurled to his
death the railroad bridge is fifty feet
above dam. Before he struck the
water the unfortunate man rebounded
from the pole of the bridge and then
plunged downward into the waters
seething under the goad of a spring
freshet. Then the onlookers felt that
he had lost every chance of life, but, to
their amazement, they saw him come
to the surface of the mad torrent and
struggle wildly against the flood that
sought to overwhelm him. 1t was the
fight OF desperate but brave and pow
erful man against impossible odds.
Stunned as he had been by the blows
he had received in his descent. his
strength was marvellous. Time and
again he seemed to buffet the waves
with the fervor of hope But those who
watched him knew that he was doomed.
10 the men upon the bridge it seemed
as IL Mr.. Aliens struggle for existence
lasted long time, but the truth is that
his contest with the waters was only |
momentary. Almost instantly the mer- |
CHESS torrent swept him onward |
through the rapids until he reached the !
Whirlpool that boils above the cataract.
For nearly 500 feet he was hurled !
against jagged rocks by his pitiless foe.
HIS fate seemed certain. but for an
other moment the spectators hoped i
against hope that by some method he
would still be able to extricate himself
from his threatening environment
Suddenly above the foam of the whirl-
pool they saw upstretched hand and
lrm. Then the dancing waters were
Ill that their eyes could follow. and
hey knew that the man who had fought
10 hard for life had been hurled over
he cataract and would be no more seen
live.
