Record Of President Hayes.

President Hayes found occasion to veto
eight bills, including one fixing a stand
ard silver dollar and three general ap-
preparation bills. The money measures
he turned down on the ground that they
contained general legislation. President
Garfield took no exception to any meas
ures that were passed up to him for his
signature. but President Arthur swatted
four bills river and harbor appropria-
ton act. he said, was mot for the COM
mon welfare.
Among the 3O1 bills vetoed by President
Cleveland during the four years of his
first term we're many pension and relief
bills minor in character. President Ben
jamin Harrison kept the veto power alive
by using it in nineteen cases, and Presi-
dent Cleveland during his second term
found occasion to disapprove forty-two
measures.
Few in number were the vetoes of
Presidents Mckinley and Roosevelt
President Taft seems destined 10 exceed
the record of the other two.

State Bills Disapproved.

Bills for the admission Of Colorado, Ne
braska and Arkansas he refused to sign,
and a resolution for the return into the
Union of North Carolina, South Caro-
lima. Louisiana. Georgia. Alabama and
F1orida-all southern states that had
Joined the Confederacy-was pronounced
by him TO be not in accordance with the
mode presented by the Constitution On
the ground that it strengthened the mil
itary rule he vetoed two bills supple
mental to the reconstruction acts and a
bill excluding the electoral votes of rebel
states he disapproved on the ground that
it implied previous erroneous views"
A copper tariff bill he turned down be-
cause it disseminated against other in
dustries.'
Gen. L. S. Grant was not slow to write
Il veto" at the end Of bills that he
thought were not proper. and forty-six
such bills are in the archives of this
country. signed by him while he was
President. Many of them were relief
bills affecting military men. and with that
branch of the government service the
then occupant of the White House had
decided views. A bill for the repair Of
Pennsylvania avenue he vetoed on the
ground that Ii fixed no date for fulfill
ment. and one initiating the currency he
said was unSound.

Looking for the Enemy.

Today several detachments of officers
are out scouting along the roads of Vir-
ginia, working as hard as If a real enemy
had designs on the city of Washington
They are working in what is known as
tactical walks" Now, one of these walks
looks dull to the civilian whose uninlagi-
native brain cannot see brigade of
Russian dragons where his eyes tell him
a turnip patch is basking on Virginia
farm; but the Districts soldiery can see
them, and act with as much bravery and
as much discretion as II they were actu-
ally part of an advance guard. Should
you see an officer lying fiat on his stom-
ach over in Virginia this afternoon, don't
try to wake him up. He isn't sleeping.
He's scouting. That patch OF dogwood
hides line of infantry Of an invading
force. You'll never find 1t yourself, but the
enemy's there all right, and should the
prone officer make any fool plays he will
get talking to when they all get back
to camp.
These tactical walks cover an immense
amount of territory. probably as much
territory as would be covered in actual
hostilities. The work today has to do
with advance guard maneuvers. The of
ficers are the ''feelers' OF the army which
Is supposed to be lying behind them
They are supposed to be creeping along
to find o1t what the other fellow is doing
and where he Is, and to mark it all down
on their maps and note books.

Tyler Exercises the Power.

Presidents Martin Van Buren and Will
liam Henry Harrison did not use tn.
veto at all, but President Tyler brought
It back into use for eight measures that
Congress sent to him. Among those
measures were two tariff bills two
bills for a fiscal bank of the United
States and two river and harbor appro-
priation bills.
+ Three measures passed by Congress
were vetoed by President Polk. He
found no pressing necessity for river
and harbor appropriation bill, pronounced
bill for internal improvements an inter-
ference with state rights and disapproveI
the French spoliation claims measure
did not attempt to thwart the will of Con-
them. but President Pierce turned down
nine measures. A bill 10 aid the INDECENT
insane. he declared was improvident and
unconstitutional. and bills for river and
harbor improvements of various kinds
were vetoed the ground that they
proposed internal improvements by the
general government
James Buchanan is credited with seven
vetoes one of bill to aid agricultural
colleges. on the ground that 1t was in
expedient and unconstitutional.
President Lincoln sent three veto mes
sages to Congress. but none of them af-
fected bills of great Importance Presi-
dent Johnson was not so considerate of
the feelings OF Congress, breaking the
record of veto messages by sending in
twenty-five such communications.

Two Vetoes by Washington.

Washington vetoed two bills that were
sent to him, one for the apportionmen'
of representatives. which was pronounced
to be impracticable. and the other for a
reduction in the size of the army, being
declared injudicious and unjust. Adams
and Jefferson did not veto any bills. bu,
Madison's vetoes numbered six. One OF
these-for the naturalization of aliens
was said by President Madison to be liza
BILE to abuse by foreigners: another-for
the establishment of United States
bank-was regarded as not meeting public
requirements, and a third-for district
court trials-was pronounced to be vi
cious"
President Monroe turned down one bill
during the eight years he sat on the lid
at the White House. declaring a bill
granting federal aid to the Cumberland
road to be unconstitutional. John Quincy
Adams followed the example of his Illus
trious' family predecessor by not vetoing
any measures passed by Congress.
Not SO with Andrew Jackson. 'Old
Hickory unafraid of anybody or any
thing, vetoed nine measures-the greatest
number that any President had dared to
turn down up TO that time Two river
and harbor bills he vetoed on the ground
that they provided government control
of internal improvements: a Waba sil
river improvement bill on the ground
that it was an unjust distribution of
government funds" and other similar
measures. including Clays land bill.

wAsHINGToN's MODEST RECORD
Precedents for President Taft to

EFFECT OF DIsAPPR0vAL
wAsHINGToN's MODEST RECoRI

Should President Taft veto the WOOL and
free list bills end the statehood resolu
tion it will by no means be the first time
that such a fate has overtaken a tariff
bill CT a statehood bill.
President Johnson put his stamp of
disapproyal on three statehood bills dur
ing the short time he held the Office.
President Tyler vetoed two tariff bills sent
to him by Congress, and President John
son refused to sign a copper tariff bill
sent to him toward the end of his admin
istration.
Some of the early Presidents used the
veto power sparingly. but during later
years a veto message from the White
House does not attract a whole lot OF at
tention unless it affects bill that has of
itself commanded widespread interest.
Over 30, bills have been vetoed by the
twenty-seven Presidents of the United
States and President Cleveland holds the
record for disapproval of the largest num-
ber. During his first term he returned
no less than 3O1 bills that Congress had
passed, stating that he refused to sign
them President Grant also kept in
practice. but his record did not run over
half hundred.

POLICE COURT HAS a DOG
DAY ON ITS CALENDAR
After the Smoke Of Battle Is Cleared Away the Dis
tict Finds Itself Enriched ID Excess Of 500. .
Some Humorous Incidents. s.

Dogs and dog troubles were aired IN
the xrolice Court yesterday. Some Of the
Persons concerned denied they ever had
owned q dog. and some OF the owners Of
dogs were ON the defensive. II was dog
day. before Judge PuEh. CANNES figured
In twenty-five cases Of alleged violations
Of the police regulations.
When the smoke Of battle had cleared
away, the District had nstted. more than
500 from fines and forscitures. Fifteen
persons preferred to forfeit sums rang
ing from 81 to 80 rather than appear
In court. One case was nolle pressed,
several persons were put under personal
bonds. and one case was dismissed. Five
persons paid fines.
The case which Judge Pugh dismissed
was the most interesting. When Mrs.
Caroline Bender appeared, Assistant Cor.
poration Counsel Schuidt started the pro-
secution. hut Judge Pugh raised the
question Of whether a dog Is not always
the property Of the man Of the house.
There was q short argument, when
Mr.. Schuldt asked Mrs. Bender II she
lived with her husband Apparently,
Mrs. Bender did. She handed Mr..
Schuldt q look OF scorn. and said, II
hope so.'' Then Mr.. Schuldt threatened
to prosecute the husband. Judge Pugh
told him to produce the husband. and
Mr.. Schuldt promised to consult the
police.
Judge Pugh said: II think there is
something wrong with this case. ] shall
have to dismiss 1t. It is my impression
that property Of this kind 10 under the
care Of the head Of q family. Then.

again, think Mr.. Schuldt forced this
with malice aforethought."
Mrs. Bender listened attentively, and
turned to leave the court room. when she
remarked that II Q nne point were to be
drawn, It would be found the dog was
owned and cared for by her son. who
sees to the mu1zling process. She de-
parted before Mr.. 6chuldt recovered. but
he said he considered bringing the son
before the Juvenile Court However. this
threat will not be carried into execution.
Mr.. Schuldt said, but the policeman who
made the arrest IL at liberty to do so. II
his feelings are hurt.
Two colored women. who paid fines
OF . each. put up novel defenses. one
said her dog had q double. which never
Jackson" always wore q nose protector.
Also, she had two muxxles, and said
II the court desires, III bring them and
show them to you"
The second, Of the pair said her dog was
at times almost capable Of. supernatural
agility. She said he would howl until
she took the muxzle of 20 he could eat,
and then he would disappear. Her plea
was in vain. for Judge Pugh says dogs
are dangerous in this kind Of weather.

who was forced to pay q fine Of several
dollars. He paid under protest. and then
informed the policemen he met that
others must obey the law and pay as
much a. he did. The policemen inquired

man. and started the arrests.
