President Taft Reviews G. A. R.
 Monster Parade
Especial from United Press.

(Spec1aI rom On1Ced PreSS.
 Rochester, Aug. 23-The annual en- campment of the Grand Army of the Republic was brought to climax, to- day by the arrival of President Taft and his review of the monster parade through the streets of this city, ac- companied by Governor Dix, of New York, and Major General Frederick Dent Grant, U. s. A. When the Pres1 ident passed, the lines of veterans stood ready to parade.
 More than 10000 veterans were in line in what was inevitably one of the last few great parades in the his tory of the fast dwindling G. A. R. The line of march was shortened to prevent the veterans from overtaxing g their strength. Numerous auxiliary organizations, United States regulars and militia also paraded in tribute to the grayhaired warriors.
 Following the parade the President was entertained at luncheon. Tonight, President Taft will speak at the camp fire in the auditorium, and then leave for Beverly, Mass.
 He arrived here at nine o'clock At Canandaigua, he spoke briefly from the platform of his private car and was roundly cheered from the throng at the station.

 Power For, Three Days.
Attorney General John H. Light has given Governor Simeon E. Baldwin the following opinion:

Attorney General John H. Light has given Governor Simeon E. Baldwin the following opinion:
 State of Connecticut.
 Attorney Generals Office.
 Hartford, August 21, 1911. Sir-You ask my opinion as to whether the Governor has the power, after the adjournment sine die of the General Assembly, to complete, by his approval, the enactment of bill, whether engrossed or unengrossed, within three days after it's presenta- tiOn to him before the adjournment when he has not endorsed the bill prior to its engrossment in the man. ner provided in Section 40 of the Gen eral Statutes
 There is no constitutional provision for expressing bills. This requirement is purely statutory.
 The constitution provides that every bill which shall have passed both houses of the General Assembly, shall be presented to the Governor, but it does not say by whom or how it shall be presented. Hence the Legislature has full power to provide ways and means for presenting bills to the Gov ernor, and it has exercised this power in passing Sections 36 and 40 of the General Statutes. The apparent req
  presented to the Governor while the Legislature is in actual session, and prior to its final adjournment These statutory provisions are directory; therefore biu may become a law without observing them, provided ev- cry step required by the constitution has been taken.
 I am of the opinion that the Cover nor has the power, after the adjourn ment sine die of the General Assem- bly,, to complete, by his approval, the enactment of a bill, whether engrossed or unengrossed, within three days af- ter it's presentation to him before the adjournment when he has not indorsed the bill prior to it's engrossment in the manner provided in Section 40 of the General Statutes
 Respectfully submitted, JOHN H. LIGHT,

The SENATORSHIP
Smith and Terrell do AL
phOnSG-GaStOn Act

Atlanta, Ga, July 13.-Senator-el-
ect Hoke Smith and Senator Joseph
NJ. Terrell, still differ Thursday as 20
who is now the junior senator from
Georgia, each holding that the JOB
belongs to the other for the time be,
ing at least The position of neith-
er is in exact accord with the prece-
dent of the United States senate re-
garding such cases.
Senator Smith is of the opinion that
Senator Terrell automatically contin-
ues as senator until his own commits
sion is sent to the senate, which, he
says. will not be until the United
States Senate meets for its regular
session the first Monday in Decem-
Der.
Senator Terrell contends that the

commission as appoihtive senator
pending the election of a successor
to Senator A. 5. Clay.
