The President and Army Records.

The question whether the recent vetoes
by President Roosevelt of bills affecting
soldiers records shall be considered to
Indicate settled policy on his part has
caused much discussion at the Capitol
Apparently it is not to be a settled rule
at least that no old soldiers record can
be changed.
The matter came up in the Senate yes
terday. In reporting favorably to the
Senate bill for an honorable discharge,
Mr.. Hawley announced that though one
for the same beneficiary had been recently
vetoed by the President, he had been
given to understand that the present bill
would meet with Executive approval. a
slight change has been made in its
phraseology.
Mr. Gallinger, chairman of the Commit
tee on Pensions. expressed his gratifica-
ton. He said he had been forced to be-
lieve that bills providing for honorable
discharges and correction of military rec
Ords could not be passed. He had so
written many applicants.

Quoted From the Bible.

He shall not see the rivers, the floods,
the brooks of honey and butter
Mr.. Dolliver. defender of the butter Of
centuries before the dawn of history,
quoted from the Bible at least three
times in his speech, with great effective
ness
In the course of his joint debate with
job, Zophar. the comforter, undertakes to
show the state and final portion of the
wicked" Mr.. Dolliver said. Curse after
curse he utters as he tries to reach an
adequate statement of their misfortunes
He shall suck the poison of asps. and
the vipers' tongues shall Stay him. But
that is not all; the climax of loss and
penalty Is not yet reached. 1t is no sud
den retribution; no swift judgment from
the skies. He hastens to present it TO-
the Imagination of the afflicted patriarch.
He shall not see the rivers, the floods,
the brooks of honey and butter Not
even the brooks. A pictorial way, obvi-
ously. Mr.. Dolliver commented, of say
ing that the worst thing that can happen
to man is to be sentenced to eat glucose
and oleomargarine all the days of his
life"
A burst of laughter from the galleries
greeted this unique Interpretation.
The second Biblical quotation is
Surely the churning of milk bringeth
forth butter" this time from the royal
sage of Israel, ages ago"
One reference he made which was not
quotation. and no one in the press gal
lery of the Senate recognized IL. but ii
was Enthusiastically of Biblical origin:
I'VE have no anxiety-none at all-for
fear the simple bill OF fare which Abra-
ham and Sarah set before angels from
heaven at the very dawn of history as
they held picnic together under a friend
ly tree will ever lose its place in the
menu of civilized man"
But the erudition Of this new Senate
orator is not confined to the Bible. He
quoted also from Pliny. and this time
showed that even the renovated butter. 4"
SO often referred to in the oleo debate
had its prototype in ancient Rome. The
kind the Romans used was made from the
milk of goats, and OF this variety Pliny
says, il MIR. Deliver quotes him correctly.

And that we send them forth 10 fill
The world with coed results or i'll.

Speeds 10 the oarth's remotest spot,
And leaves its blessing or its woes
Like tracks behind it, as it goes.

In your still chamber as you sit
With thoughts you would not dare have known,
And yet make comrades, when alone.
These thoughts have life, and they will fly
And leave their impress, by and by.

Breaths into homes its fevercd death.
And, after you have quite forgot
Or all outgrown some vanished thought.

Money by Telegraph.

People often want to telegraph money,
where time is an important element, but
owing to the expense are debarred from
transmitting funds by wire said Mr.. E.
T. Powers, San Francisco banker, at the
Raleigh.
Il am not making a plea for Govern
ment ownership of the telegraph, but it
is doubtless true that if the Government
did control the wires they would be
used almost as freely for the conveyance
of money as they are now for ordinary
messages. In fact, the telegraph might
easily become the common mode of max
ing cash remittances. The present sys-
