ADVANCE OF PENSIONS.
fFrom the Boston Traveler. )

(FfOm the sBOSIOn ITdNelef.J
 peeeimtstic citizen of Brighton asks three questions:
 Why don't you say something about the pension game? How far is 1t going. and where will it end? Who is to pay the bills when all these who seek pensions get what they eeek?'
 Keep cool, Mr Citizen. Long before the pension game as you call it, ends, the present and next generations will be byond the reach and need of pensions. It is progressive game, " if you like to put it that way, and eventually it will end because there will be not more than one unpensioned person left to pay pensions. When he dies the pensions will die.
 If you don't take it overserious1y the game is interesting. Originally pensions went to military heroes and their dependents. Afterward they went to heroes in civil life who did police or other dangerous duty. Now, Of course, there is no limit. Old-ase pensions are coming and. widows and orphans pensions are coming. All kinds of pensions are coming.
 Those who have jobs in the public service receive pensions mainly be- cause they have the political influence that is necessary to obtain legislation. Special pensions are granted by spe- cia1 acts of the Legislature, but later that will be remedied by general and sweeping, pension acts. Why should you be unpensioned, MT. Citizen, when your neighbor is pensioned? He had a fine position in the service of the city for years; you have worked for a private employer for more years and at less salary. You have helped to pay his pension, but you don't have one.
 That is wrong, of course. There fore the, government should pension all who have-worked anywhere for a certain number of years. Later those who have not worked, but have ser1- ously talked of working, will have to be attended to- You and the other taxpayers will have to pay for the pensions, but what does that matter? Advocacy of pensions for everybody is a proof of progress.
 Was your grandfather killed by a premature blast? You are entitled to a pension for being his grandson. There are philanthropists-alm in- variabIy non-taxpayers-whoI lie awake nights while they devise plausible pre- lenses for pensions. To speak unfa- vorably of pensions, high or low, spe- ciaI or general, is conclusive proof that you are a reactfonary Therefore,

PRESIDENTS VETO POWER.
tFrom the Boston Hera1d.l

For the rest of MT. Taft's adminis- tration his veto over bills is as abso- lute as that of the czar of Russia. That has, in fact, been true of all the legislation that has reached the White House since last Thursday, according to this provision of the constitution:
 "If any bill shall not be returned by the President within 10 days Sundays excepted) after it shall have been pre- sented to him, the same shall be a law in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their ad- journment prevent it's return. in which case it shall not be a 1aw.''
 The provision-incidentaI the near est to a recognition of the Christian religion of anything in the constitu- power on the President His veto in any form is very effective. Many presidents get along without ever hay ing a bill carried over their veto, and in not a few of the rare cases where this is done 1t is in correcting a mis- take which he had inadvertently made and so hasShis approval. It has occa- eiona11y been done at his request.
 1t is difficult task to get a two thirds vote in both houses. Witness the recent immigration bill, which passed a Senate overwhelmingly, but in the House fell four votes short of the necessary two-thirdS. The num- Der of important measures passed, in spite of a presidents emphatic objec- ton, is very small. The President most often overrtdden was, of course, Andrew Jackson. But the second man in this respect-Six bills having been passed over his veto-wae none other than Abraham Iincoln, a fact incl dentally illustrativA. of the changed estimates which time has made.
 The trouble with the whole veto system is not in the instrument itself, A-.- H. AE E.z.-- president could only veto items in the appropriation bills. he could be ineal- cuIably useful as the sole representa- tive of the general welfare.

 MT. Bryan as secretary of state was, you may say. a political inevitabttty. in the appointments of MT. McAdoo the president has paid another political debt, but not at the country's expense Mir. McAdoo ought by rights to make an excellent secretary Of the treasury. MT. McReyonlds as attorney general is really a promotion on the merits; his experience as assistant to two Repub- lican predecessors-Kno and Wicker sham-should be worth a great deal to the administration and to the coun~ try. The new secretary of the inte- rior, sMr. Lane, is a Pacific slope law yer, as MT. Ba1linger was when ap- pointed; he has been by report a capa- ble interstate commerce commissioner, and it's a big point in his favor that MT Hearst detests him. Of the new secretary of agriculture, MT. Houston. the country thus far hears nothing but good. We said our say about MT Redfleld, the new secretary of com merce, earlier in. the proceedings; it
 may be doubted whether the Demo cratic President could have made a. more promising choice. It's cabinet without New England Yankee in it.

 ''Gent1emen,'' continued the court, addressing the jury which had just given it's verdict, you seem to think that a drunken schauffeur can run recklessly with his machine through the streets and go unpunished. At least that is what you say by your verdict. But in this case your state Of mind. in order to reach that yer dict. can be best described as the peace of heaven that passeth all un- derstanding.''
 Gerard was indicted for the murder of Mrs. Mary Dithridge. a cousin Of District Attorney Whitman, whom he ran down last April.

(From the Newark. N. J., NeEws.)
 The new secretary of war has hab- 1t of making good in whatever he un- derfakes. His versatility of talent is well known to his intimates. Before he achieved reputation as a lawyer he did some excellent newspaper work, and would probably have won success in Literature had he devoted himself to writing. It is to be hoped that there will be no occasion to develop whatever military abilities he may possess
