THE WEBB BILL VETOED.

Mr.. Taft vetoed the Webb In
terstate Liquor Bill. He assigns
as his reasons therefor that he
thinks the bill is unconstitution-
al. This position is assumed by
some other great lawyers. He
also says that Congress did not
provide anything to take the
place of the deficit which the
passage of this law will create in
the revenues of the country. He
says that it will cause a loss of
revenue annually to the extent of
S77,OOO,OOO.
His last reason is easily rene
died. Not so the first one. If
the law is unconstitutional the
Supreme Court is the proper
tribunal to pass on this question
and not the executive. This gov
eminent is divided into three
great departments for the trans
action of the business of the peo-
ple-The Judicial, The Legisla-
tive and the Executive. Neither
division has any right to encroach
on the other. President Taft
argues otherwise. He claims
that when the executive knows
that a bill is unconstitutional, he
should veto it. On the surface,
it seems that he is right but on
reflection he is entirely wrong.
The judicial department is com.
posed of nine great lawyers each
one selected because of his emf.
nence as a lawyer. To them the
constitution has delegated the
right exclusively to pass on the
constitutionality of laws. The
President may in good faith be
lieve a bill to be unconstitutional
and yet the Supreme Court may
unanimously declare it to be con
stitutional. To carry out the
idea of the President means to
unhorse the courts and allow the
President to unhorse the legiSla
tive branch of the government
In other words, it makes the
President the legislative and the
judicial as well as the executive
branch of government, a condi
ton that was studiously guarded
against by the trainers of tn,
constitution.
While we entertain for tn,
President the greatest respect
we believe that he was RADICAL,
wrong in his act. That the Ser
ate and the House took this vies

surprising that an afternoon of french
music should be one of sunny strains.

this year gave an afternoon up to the study
of French composers. Massenet and his
opera Manon were the chief consideration,
but there were other selections by him
as well as other writers. Mrs. Neale Ben

Middleton a sketch of the composer. Both

GOSSIP CONCERNING FLYING MACHINES AND
 AIR PROBLEMS

l Most people already know that 1 aeroplanes are capable of flying eight l or ten miles, and can land a space 1 the size of the Boston Common, with 1 ordinary skill on the part of the avia- ] tor. But they have also learned that 1 the risks taken by the pilot, not par 1 ticularly for himself but for those be- meath him, are so great as to have led i to national and international agitation 1 against the practice
 In France and Germany the prohi- bition has been embodied in strict leg fslation which is rigidly enforced, while in England the same result is secured through the control given by the Royal Aero Club It will be recalled that at the time of the Oxford Cam bridge boat race so well known a flyer as GuStaVe Hamel was suspended and barred from the Gordon Bennett for flying over the course in the face of the
 warning issued by the British organ ization.
 Following the lead set in England the Aero Club of America, last June ruled against flights over the Thames at New London during the boat race, the action being taken in view of the announced intention of Atwood to perform the feat. It was stated that all pilots holding licenses would be disqualified. and that while operators without certificates could not be pun fshed, their work would be watched, and infractions of the rules would be chalked against the records of those who might afterward apply for their papers.
 The aeroplane is altogether too great g menace to assembled crowds to be allowed to start and alight without control. Accident after accident has attested the dangers to which specta- tors are frequently exposed. The most notable example; of course came year ago last May when the French Minister of War. Berteaux, was killed, and the Premier, Monis, so badly in jured that his administration was virtually ended.
 Trains monoplane. it will be re- called. came to the ground in a crowd of the highest officials of France, owing Even though today engines have been greatly improved they are by no means l infallib1e, and their failure when the ! machine is above a crowd could not ] help being disastrous.
 Especially do these criticisms hold | true in the case of a flight made with 1 absolutely no useful object in view |
 Some Aerial Fakes.
 The aeroplane has been seized upon 1 and exploited as means of amassing | easy money, and thousands of dollars | have been taken out of the public un- 1 der false pretences.
 A fayorite method of the four-f flush | variety of pilot has been frequently | worked at small country fairs and the | like. The advance agent comes along ] and signs a contract for an "eXhibi- | tion. The contract calls for the pay ment of a large part, perhaps half, of ! the amount when the machine reaches 1 the grounds. and the remainder after !

The suggestion was made to MT. Brick by Comptroller Dunn
 who says the Norwich constituency is to take similar action. Comptroller Dunn believes improved water ter minal facilities at New London would benefit Willimantic and he thinks the legislative drive against the appro-

 Water Flying Advances.
 Concurrently with the private and passenger hydro -aeroplane, the naval war craft Is being rapidly developed. The French navy, which already ] possesses a large number of hydro aeroplanes, has now announced its de- ctsiOn to offer a prize of S10,0O0 for the best aeroplane suitable for use on the high seas. The competition will be held at DeauvilIe about Aug. 20 this year. In addition, M. Delcasse, Min ister of Marine, has decided to pur- chase for 800 the winning craft and the next best for $10O00 These
 
 be offered by the French Aero Club. There Is every likelihood that the DeauviIle meeting will be far and away the most important yet held. In all proba bility it will also include the con test for the international hydro aero plane challenge trophy recently pre- scented to the French Aero Club, to- gether with an annual money prize of $5,000 for the first three years. by M. Jacques Schneider, president of the Aero Club of France. The regulations for this competition have not yet been framed but will probably run along the lines of the Gordon-Bennett con- tests. They will be drawn up at the next conference of the International in Paris on the twenty-eighth. Other important questions before the con ference will be the institution of a special hydro -aeroplane pilots certi- i f1cate and the creation of an inter i national 'triptyque" for air craft.
 Coming Aerial Service. Garros from Tunis to Sicily, q writer 1 in the London Morning Post says that | one may prophecy with more than little confidence that even the coming i summer you will see the institution of [ regular oversea passenger fiie hts. But | before then several problems will have to be faced and solved. The position. , roughly stated is this. The aeroplane of today has relatively small lifting capacity, and can at most carry a. i've load (pflot. passengers. and fueD of a little under half d ton. In hydro aeroplane. or airboat, however. this Is to considerable extent. owing to the increased weight and air-resist- ance of the floats. In practice. there

 Women Have Right to Vote Today.
 That there will be 8 big vote at the special town meeting this lSaturday) afternoon to ratify the $60.000 appro- priation for a new school building on the Natehaug site is conceded. The meeting is called at o'clock and a resolution will unquestionably be or 10 o'clock so that all voters, both women and men, will have an oppor- tunity to cast their ballots. At torney General King said Friday there was absolutely no question in his nina as to the legal right of women to vote on this measure and Attorneys liar Vey, Capen and Judge Arnold express the same legal opinion. The registrars officers to attend the booths, checking lists, etc. and the womens vote will be cast in separate box. An attor- ney stated Friday that move might be made by the opponents or the new school building project to secure a moderator of the meeting who would rule out the women's vote. In view of the overwhelming sentiment in Ia vor of the new school building. the registrars may allow the meeting to select the moderator. Friends of the project say they will take no chances of defeat and will watch every move from start to finish so that no un- derhanded or technical move to thwart the will of the people will be made.
