Ten-Day Rule.

When a bill Is sent to the President
for his approval within the last ten
DAYS Of a session of Congress, it is
plain that II he does not sign IL. the
provision. that it may become a law
without his signature does not prevail,
since the Constitution provides that
this shall not happen IN case Of an ad-
iournment Of Congress. SO the Presi-
dent sometimes does not veto a bill
sent to him the last ten days Of
session. but allows # TO die by reason
Of the adjournment OF Congress. This
IS called a ''pocket-vtto," and has been
often employed as a means Of prevent
ing a bill from becoming a law In
the Fifty-fourth Congress-. at the last
session at that Congress. President
Cleveland permitted several OF the
great app ropriation bills. which con
tanned matters he did not approve, 20
fan IN that way.
After the President has signed a bill.
or after a bill has been passed over
his veto by action OF twO-thirds OF
each house. II IS sent 10 the Secretary
OF state. there to be preserved amons
the archives Of the Government, and
for reference iL future time II a ques-
ton should arise as to the exact word
ing of the Ia,y, or II by any inconceiv-
able contingency AL the other printed
copies OF the law should be destroyed.

Many WaIs 10 Orlglnnte.

Many Ways TO UTlginhte.
There are various ways 10 which a
bill may be originated. The ancient
method. and one which to some extent
is in use at the present time. IS most
in harmony with the ideas OF a gov
eminent by the people-the origin
through petition. Certain people who
feel that they are aggrieved by some
existing law. or lack OF law, address
a respectful petition 10 one or the
other of the houses Of Congress. pray
ing for the legislation which they de
sire This petition, il addressed 90 the
House, is forwarded TO some member of
the House, or to the Speaker, and Is
I'm due time introduced into the House
and referred tc committee, which
committee may draw up a bin en-
bodying the legislation desired by the
petitioners. But in the later practice
of Congress this somewhat slow, al
though safe, action from the people.
is not awaited; but a member in
formed by conversation with his con
sutuents. or with other persons who
make representations as to existing
grievances and the desire for leglsla-
ton, draws Up a bin and introduces
III into the House for reference to "a
committee. The committee may re-
port this bin TO the House. with or
without amendments.
The President Of the United States
frequently suggests legislation that IS
desirable, and sometimes transmits
drafts of proposed bills Frequently,
also, the heads of executive depart
ments, who are members of the Presi-
dents Cabinet, By communication,
suggest 10 one or the other of the
houses of Congress legislation that is
desired. ana even communicates the
forms or drafts of bills. the enact
ment of which they would recommend
During the most strenuous years Of
tine civil war much Of the financial
legislation was drafted ny AR. Eeszau-
den. Secretary Of the Treasury. who
had had long experience IN the Senate
and was familiar with its methods.
In later years. the Senate has shown
some seusitiveness at the activity OF
Cabinet officers in drafting bills for
It's consideration. but In the House
these drafts have always been, and
still are, received as suggestions for
legislation.

- HE action Of Congress- as a
whole, is expressed usually in
/ laws, and the inquiry naturally
arises, In what form does the
law begin to exist, and what are the
various processes by which il is per
tectedP"
Either house of Congress alone may
express itself by orders or simple
resolutions. These forms are not used,
however, for the making Of laws, but
are employed for expressing the de-
examinations IF the House as &c its
Drga nization or its opinions. Some
times the two houses by concurrent
resolutions express their opinions, it
being understood that such express
siols do not have the effect of law.
What, then, are the forms assumed
In its carly stages by that which
af-erwarj become the law?

these, also, will be q few called Joint
resolutions If these bills and joint
resolutions be examined. it will be
found that each contains a project of
some proposed law. IL will also be
discovered that generally the joint
resolutions are used when minor mat
tiers of legislation are proposed, like
the correction OF an error in an exist
Ing law, or declaration OF the Gov
eminent as TO some matter, while the
bills contain the larger and more inn

the patients will sleep out of doors.
This is to be used for the more robust

The reasoning of Representatives j.

discussion in the house at Montpelier
on the bill to abolish offsets in taxa

Governor Prouty's decision not to

bly, goes throutll again over veto, so

tension between the chief executive

was good Judgment, in view Of every
thing likely to arise, for Governor
Prouty to return this bill with his
approval, or at least not with a veto.
Randolph Herald.
Principal Bishop Of the Montpelier
seminary has made a sensible ruling
which prohibits the use OF tobacco by
seminary students while within Mont
pelier city limits. The boys in this
seminary are from IA to l8 years old
and ought not to use tobacco in any
form for physiological reasons more
than any others. Tobacco and grow
ing boyhood do not mingle we'll.
Psychologists and doctors generally
agree with this. !vhen the boy reach
es the college age he is nearly through
growing and while the use Of tobacco
probably does him no good he must in
most cases decide for himself whether
he will use it or not. In this as in
other things he should be given fullest
knowledge and then given freedom.
Most young men, who nave not smoked
before they are Is years old can be
trusted to choose what is best in their
individual cases. The young man Of
10 who believes it wrong to smoke Or
with whose health smoking interferes
will not smoke. The young man who
sees no moral turpitude in smoking and
whose health is not affected will prob
ably smoke when he cares to. At
any rate this is the program that most
of the fathers are following Bellows

Peanuts, Popcorn and Pop Drop to
Level Of Car Fares In Cleveland.
Three cent fare threatens to put the
monetary system Of Cleveland, O., on
an aluminium basis and make the city
a three cent town throughout. With
the advent of the three cent fare the
nickers displacement has begun. The
aluminium disks to be used as car tick
cts are already circulating at face
value.
Many Cleveland merchants have an
nounced that they will receive the
disks in payment for goods.
In the city parks peanuts. popcorn,
pop and the like are selling for 8 cents
instead of s cents. and the booths are
accepting disks.
Several moving picture theaters have
cut the admission from 5 to 3 cents and
announce that disks are good.
Merchants are preparing to stir up
some business with special three cent
sales.
