Godfogle. of New York, who, he says. "gave much
thought to the subject, and, after some study, in
troduced resolution proposing amendment to the
Constitution which, if adopted, would give the Pres-
dent full power to veto any item or items in an ap-
preparation bill, while approving the rest of the
measure
| will say for the information of Mr. Stoddart
that Mr. Goldfoge's proposition is by no means a
new one that the contrary, it has been introduced
into Congress many times and has never received
favorable report, but on the contrary many adverse
reports, and l will say further that there is no more
prospect of its receiving favorable report than
there is of the Senate passing the House proposition
for the election of Senators by popular vote The
reasons for this opinion have been fully set forth in
able adverse reports in years past from judiciary
committees of both houses OF Congress. Mr. Gold
foge and Mr.. Stoddart should remember that with
the exception of the three "civil war; amendments
to the Constitution thirteenth, fourteenth, ard f-
teenth), there has been no increase of Federal au-
thoriy power no diminution of the powers of the
States, and surrender OF the powers reserved to
the people by Article X of the Constitution, and
while great crisis may force such action, it is
quite unlikely.
Ihe power OF governor TO veto Tor a limited
time items in bills dumped in" him in the clos
ing hours of session of the Legislature is perhaps
well enough, because affords the governor an OPP
portunity to scrutiilzc carefully the details of
such bills than he could possibly do during the last
hours of session, crowded with bills which have
been held up" to the last minute by obstruction tao
tics and otherwise 1t should also be remembered
that in many Substantially Ohio-the governor
has no veto power whatever. Mr.. Goldfogle's prop
osition is neither meritorous.

Not a Free Trade Democrat.

Il am not a free trader; l am a
Democrat" said Representative Stephen
NJ. Sparkman. Of Florida, at the Riggs
last night. Mr.. Sparkman is about to
return to his State to make a number
of speeches throughout the First dis
trict, in order that there may be no
chance of any defections from the party
there
AS the State is solidly Democratic,
the only excitement indulged in is at
the time nominations are made, and
there Is no pressing need for speech
making now. Mr.. Sparkman, however.
Is. desirous Of keeping up the large
Democratic majorities so that there may
be no possible encouragement for a
revival of the Populist propaganda
there OF crusade of the Lilly Whites"
on the Republican side.
Il cannot agree with President Roose-
welt that the tariff and the trusts are
not closely connected. OF course, it is
hard matter to draw the line, for
there is vast difference of opinion as
10 the proper place to draw 1t. We
don't think much of reciprocity for Gu
ba down our way, and / am decidedly
opposed TO any annexation of the
island as proposed by some Repuhli
cans. There ought to be something
done with the tariff where 1t aids the
trusts.
There Is little discussion of Bryan
ism in Florida nowadays, because it is
not an immediate issue In my speeches

things which are of most interest to
them now and will not refer to issues
simply because they were contained in
previous party platform
Bryan has worked hard for The party
and | am sure all Democrats have a
kindly feeling for him on that account,
even If they do not quite agree with him
in wishing to keep to the fore certain
issues of the past. My coming addresses
will be devoted to the trusts and the

Made His Own Money.

In 1926 Josiah Quincy, then a young
man but recently graduated from Har-
ward, says THE Youths Companion, +"
was invited by Judge Story. a member of
the supreme bench. to accompany him
TO Washington. Judge Story was one of
the great takers at period when con-
versation was considered a sort of sec
ond profession. In Figures of the Past"
Mr.. Quincy gives an incident of the Jour
ney from Boston to Washington, which
was made by stagecoach:
THE first night of our journey was
spent at Ashford, in Connecticut, where
We arrived late in the evening; and here
the bother Of wildcat currency, as 1t was
afterward called. was forced upon our
attention.
THE bills of local banks would not
circulate beyond the town in which they
were issued, and when Judge Story, who
had neglected to provide himself with
United States notes. offered the landlord
a Salem bill in payment for his suppe,
the man stared at 1t as II Il had been
the wampum of the Indians or the shell
money Of the South Sea Islanders.
~ know 1t is good retorted the
Judge, testify. And I'll tell you how /
know it. l made II myself
This reply, OF which the landlord
could make nothing. unless II were the
confession of a forger, did not mend
and II was fortunate that haa
provided myself with some national
notes, which ended the difYiculty. The
explanation was that Judge Story, as
president Of Salem bank, had signed
the biII.''

REFORM IN LEGISLATION
DIFFICULT TO ACCOMPLISH.


In an article entitled "Refonn in Legislation That
Is Badly Needed" signed by Armat Stoddart, re-
Gently published in The Times, the reform suggested
is either Federal legislation a constitutional
amendment empowering '.the President of the
United States to veto any item or items in general
appropriation bill to which he may have valid OBJ
lection"
Mr.. Stoddart saws that ''under the existing law
the President is duty bound to approve reject
entire an appropriation bill" That statement is
not exactly correct. but substantially Under the
Consultation the President is required if he approve
bill whether a general appropriation bill or not) !,
to sign it, and if not, he shall return it, with his OBJ
jections to that house in which it shall have orig-
mated, etc.
When the President rejects bill he 'vetoes' it
and returns it to the originating house with his OBJ
jections above cited, but he still may defeat the
bill by withholding his approval during the last ten
days of the session. and the bill receives its quietus
under what is called pocket Veto" Mr. Stoddart
may say all the harsh things he peases to the
travagant items which have been grated appro-
priation bills, "knowing that as separate measures
they could not stand the scrutiny of the Presidents
gaze and meet approval and ! will go him fifty
per cent better and state that many Presidents have
approved bills which they knew to be vicious, con-
tanning not alone obnoxious and improper propo-
sition, but many, and in eases have whipped
the devil around the stump" by agreeing to approve
an obnoxious general appropriation bill, provided
certain Objectionable items would be emascuated or
modified by subsequent legislation, which pledge has
not always been kept by Congress, while in other
instances the obnoxious law has been quietly nulli
fed"
Mr. Stoddart refers to the proposition of Mr..

The bees tfat seek their store
In blossoms pink abysses

And, oh. her laughter ringeth
Like some sweet fairy bell!

A song no words may tell,
When baby bloweth kisses
Ye men whose years increase,
While life the pathway misses
To summer lands of peace,
Now tell me If there fingers
Elsewhere a single bliss
To match the little fingers
That watt to you kiss.
