Concerning Vetoes

The penal code having been passed by the house
by larger majority was expected and its
passage in the senate being assured by a strong
majority, the majority in each house being
than thirds the membership, there is still
some speculation regarding the the code.
1t is assumed that the governor again veto it,
and the question has been asked whether the neces-
sary majorities to pass it over the veto can be
retained.
We discussing the merits of the
code or the soundness of the governors objections
to it, though The Republican has already strongly
advocated those features of it which he objects.
We are dealing with general phase legis-
lation and not with this particular measure.
1t has usually happened in national,
state legislatures, that unless there has been
decided break between the executive and a large
majority of the members, many who support
measure on it's passage will when
proposition overriding of the executive is
involved.
That seems to be an inconsistency-a failure
grasp properly the functions of the two branches
of government. The legislature has exercised a
stitutional power in passing the measure. The ex-
ecutive has been within his constitutional rights in
vetong it, and thirds of the members of the
legislature have a constitutional right to pass it
his veto. The character the measure has
not been changed by the executives disapproval
it. If it meritorious when it went to him, it
was equally meritorious when it was returned
Now and then the accompanying veto message
contains an argument against the bill which appeals
to some members of the legislature. It points out
a defect which had been overlooked during its con-
sideraton 1t offers a good reason why the act
should not become law. In such a case it is not
inconsistent for a member who had supported the
bill to himself and to sustain veto.
But in the present case, there is no such sit
uation Every member before voting 10 the penal
code at this session already familiar with the
governors objections it, with every he can
possibly urge, why the code should not be enacted.

QUACKS AND LOAN SHARKS

Many newspapers give false figures and defend
the practice timeworn sophistries-that is, they
conceal their circulation from the advertisers
Newspaper advertising rates often as compll-
Gated crookedest tariff ever put out pH q
railroad, and for the same purpose-to make the
traffic pay all it will bear.
There are plenty of newspaper publishers who
see nothing officially wrong in getting twenty-five
or fifty thousand of their townsmen together ana
then invite skful pckpockets to work in the crowd
for thew print advertisements Of loan sharks,
quacks, tipsters, and fraudulent promoters with
that result to their readers.
These of the bust. ess snort -coilIlSs

On the afternoon of November Fl
the most extraordinary play ever Of
fered to the American public will be
produced at the Lyric theater in New
York, with Tyrone Power and Emily
Stevens in the leading roles.
The play is a dramatic version Of
Francois Coppee's novel, '.sThe Guilty
Man," adapted to the special pur-
poses of5a crusade which the Socio-
logical Fund of The Medical Review
of Reviews has undertaken to for.
ward. ..s. g..
This crusade has two objects: The
first, the introduction Of bill in the
senate and assembly of the state of
New York which shall authorize an
unmarried mother of previous
chaste character" to fix by judicial
action the paternity of her child and
by so doing confer upon it all the
rights and privileges of legitimacy,
including the name of the father and
the right to support by him; the sec.
ond undertakes to establish what
Frederick H. Robinson, president of
the association which will produce
the play, describes as ''the right of
the mother, to choose whether or not;
and when she shall give birth to her
child" and carries with it the legali-
cation of prenatal infanticide, now
classed as criminal operation" In
other words, it seeks to constitute
the members of the medical profess
sion privileged class, with the pow
er of life and death over the nation.
The extraordinary propaganda
which the Sociological Fund of The
Medical Review of Reviews has I'M
dertaken has no part in the novel of

she is made to plead with physician
to destroy her child.
"The Guilty Man" tells the story
of Christian Lescuyer, who, from mo-
tives of self-interest, abandons
young woman who is soon to become
the mother of his child. Later the
mother dies, and the child, after
term in the reform school, grows into
a manhood of vagrancy which hovers
on the borderland of crime.
Twenty-three years after the part
ing between his father and mother
this boy, Christian Forgeat, is arrest
ed in Paris, charged with the murder
of pawnbroker.
The father meantime has become
prosecuting attorney in Paris and is
confronted by the frightful duty of
prosecuting for murder his own son
whom circumstances have led him to
recognize. Instead, he makes plea
for mercy for his child, denounces
himself as the guilty man, takes off
his robes of Office, lays his cap upon
them and with bowed head and fall
.tering steps leaves the courtroom
forever.
The special committee which will
produce "The Guilty Man" has Nor

Weekly, for its chairman, and in
cludes in its membership Mrs. o. H.

FAVORS SPANKING FOR
CRUEL HUSBANDS

Spanking for cruel and unappre-
ciative husbands is proposed by
Judge John E. HUMPHREYS. who
stated that he thought it would DO
a world of good in relieving domes-
tic differences from the family
hearthstone.
"When man raises his hand on
a loving wife. or acts coldly toward
her he ought to be spanked" said
the court. 81 would just as soon
think of mistreating child as a wife.
Aim my and divorce are not strong
enough remedies for such man.
A good spanking by an official
county spanker, and then another
one in about thirty days to have the
lesson sink in would be about right.
And there ought to be holes bored
in tie paddle"

ia. This year the state board fixed
the school levy at exactly what it
was last year, although the amount
to be raised is slightly increased in
keeping with the increase in taxa

The educational institution levy
is fixed by mandatory law. The
state board is powerless to increase
or reduce the levy. This was und-
er law passed several sessions ago.
The million and a quarter in
crease in the two highway funds
was mandatorially ordered by the
last legislature. But for Governor
Listers fight the amounts would
have been vastly larger.
Of course it will be 1914 before
we shall have to begin to pay these
state taxes, but they will not grow
any smaller in the meantime,
Incidentally the state board of
equalization seems to have done its
work well, so far as it was permit
ed discretion by the laws. The
board consists of State Auditor c..

the death Of the late Rev. Cook. of

consented to finish the year, though
he had intended to retire from the

charge and SO successful was his
work that the conferences at Olym-

17-Many prominent editors and
newspaper publishers from all over
the country gathered here today to
discuss questions pertaining to the
business when the twenty-eight an
nual convention of the National
Press Association convened here. A
score of subjects Of interest to the
general public which came up for dis,
cussion today were, the effect of the
newspaper in the home, the advantage
of newspaper advertising to all kinds
of business, the power Of the press
in politics and the best way to "clean
up newspapers" and eliminate the
tendencies Of some yellow journals"
to color" and distort the news. The
program committee was composed of
Professor Charles Dillon OF the Kan
sas State Agricultural college, and
George B. Lockwood of Muncie, Ind.
A number of sightseeing trips have
been arranged for the editors and
publishers.
