The consensus or opinion is that the nom
necessity OF keeping the dogs on the
bench for four days will lead to a larger
entry than In any previous year.
There is more danger of dlstemper in
confinement Of four than in three days
on the bench and that Is the fear of all
owners in exhibiting at the old and un-

Milk Prices.

Consumers of milk in the District Of
Columbia are naturally shocked at the
disclosure that although prices for this
necessary article of food continue high
there is actually an oversupply. With
milk spelling for lack Of customers the
price remains at the top point. This
is fragrant and unbearable violation
of all laws of economics. There is no jus
tifcation whatever for a milk price
scale that has no fe1ibility for the
benefit Of the consumer when the sup
ply is excessive. The health officer,
though without authority TO regulate
the price. is going to urge the dealers
to scale the rate in accordance with the
excess. There is doubt of his success.
The truth is the people of the Dis
trict have no protection whatever in
the matter of milk prices, or any other
prices, indeed. They are not singular
in this. Residents of other communi-
tlcS diC III thS SAINT SitudtlOH IlCCS
are high and remain high, and there is
no prospect of reduction. In the case
Of milk not even nature, which has
been beneficent this year and granted
a good pasturage, can come to the help
Of the milk users. Unfortunately,
milk is an article the use Of which can
not be reduced easily, for on it the
health Of multitudes depends. If, how
ever, the people could manage to get
along with smaller amount it is pos
sible that the lessening of the consump-
tion added to the present excess of sup
ply might bring the dealers to reali-
cation Of the need of some adjustment
between quantity, consumption and
price.

Music and Politics.

The musical selections at the Chicago
convention are all right. The brethren
are sticking to America. "The Star
Spangled Banner" columbia, the Gem
of the Ocean" and 1.-THE Battle Hymn
Of the Republic" have gone with a
swing that made hearts jump. And
Dixie" was remembered, and rendered
to the relish Of the great crowd.
This will be repeated at San Fran
cisco. Airs and words in celebration
OF America have the right ring and
are popular in all truly American cir
cles. A gathering on the Atlantic
coast, one in the middle country, or
one on the Pacific coast will feel the
same patriotic pulse and manifest the
same patriotic spirit when questions
Of country are under consideration.
America first is the inspiration.
1t was very different at the social
list national convention recently held
in New York. The delegates talked,
not in national, but in international
terms. America did not inspire either
their orations or their songs. They
went outside the country for their
inspirations. American forms of no
sort seemed to suit. As they conceived
matters, American institutions had
failed. So what remained to them Of
the sentiments contained in songs that
celebrate the glory Of the country
They either did not know them, or did
not think them suited to the occasion.
At any rate, they did not sing them.
But it was appropriate enough. As
America is not for socialism, social
lists are not for America. They want
something very different, and sing
songs that fit their longings and inspire
their activities.

Three Planks.

Three planks III the republican plat
form. necessarily long. stand out con
spicuously as stout and worthy of the
highest praise.
(l Railroad transportation. Men
maneuvering for state socialism saw,
as they thought, an exceptional OPP
portuniV to promote their cause by
insisting on a long retention and OPP
Grafton by the government of the rail
road properties, taken over for war
purposes. The republicans in Congress
defeated the maneuver, by returning
the roads to their owners for private
operation again. The platform in
dorses that action.
Co Another proposition smacking of
state socialism was that the govern
ment retain the merchant ships built
for war purposes, and engage perma-
nentlv in the ocean carrying business.
Congress rejected the proposition, and
ordered the ships sold for private op-
Grafton, providing, however, for Ameri-
can ownership and American uses in
time of war. This policy is Endorsed
by the republican platform.
(3) The tariff. No general revision
Of the tariff was attempted at the re-
cent session of Congress because Of
the seriously disturbed state of bust
ness here and everywhere. In the cir
cumstances. new schedules and rates
could not have been safely and intel
ligentlv arranged. But normal condi-
lions will return. when revision will
not only be possible but imperative;
and the platform pledges the party
if in power at that time to such ac-
ton as by the application Of the pol
icy Of protection the home market shall.
be preserved for the benefit Of "Amer-
lean labor, agriculture and industry"

has given Presidents certain advan-
tages in that they could nullify acts OF
Congress without risking check
through overridden vetoes.
The decision by the Attorney Gen
eral is. of course, not conclusive. The
validity of law signed by the Presi-
dent after adjournment would be sub
ject to challenge in the court on con
stitutional grounds. Any administra
tive action taken under it would be at
the risk Of overthrowal. 1t is unfor-
tunate that the water power bill. sup
posed until the Attorney Generals de
eision was rendered to have been sub
iected to pocket Veto" should. If
now signed. be thus rendered of du-
bious validity.
In equity the proposition that the
President can sign within ten days
after adjournment does not square with
the veto right of Congress which the
Constitution grants. 1t is gravely
doubtful whether the Supreme Court
would sustain this ruling irasmrcn as
it thus denies 20 the legislative body
the power &C enactment despite execu-
tive disapproval which the Constitu-
ton grants.

Belated Bill Signing.

1t has always been understood that
the Constitution of the United States
was explicit in its provision regard
ing the approval of legislation by the
President Clause of section of
article l, after providing that every
bill that passes the House and Senate
shall be presented to the President for
his approval or disapproval, continues:
off any bill shall not be returned
by the President within ten days (Sun-
days excepted) after it shall have
been presented to him, the same shall
be law, in like manner as if he had
signed it, unless the Congress by their
adjournment prevent its return, in
which case it shall not be law"
Now the Attorney General has ruled
quite to the contrary effect, that the
President has period Of ten days
Sunday excepted) following the ad-
journment of Congress in which to
sign bills.
There is no precedent whatever for
this ruling, for uniformly since the be-
ginning Of the government the prac-
tice has been in accordance with the
literal language of the Constitution,
and bills remaining unsigned at the
time Of the fall Of the gavel declaring
Congress to be in adjournment without
data have been ~ dad - thoush
vetoed and the vetoes sustained. This
hos led to the phrase pocket Veto" II

traders. They know the game from
A to 2. They are familiar with all
quarters Of the globe, and with what
is necessary to secure and hold trade.
Naturally, they want British interests
in British hands everywhere, and par
ticularly in places distant from base.
Let US take leaf out of this British
book. Let us, wherever possible, in
trust American interests to American
hands. Let us keep the run of our
own affairs. In other words, let US
apply in the field OF trade an order
once applied in our field of war: "Put
none but Americans on guard.
Trade is sort of war. Competitors
watch one another. each taking ad
vantage of any mistake made by an
other They have, and try to keep,
secrets. Within certain and we'll
recognized rules, the proposition is to
"get there; to seek new markets, and
cultivate old ones; to make the beet
possible impression on customers.
This calls for much confidential in
formation. Hence, in establishing and
extending American trade, Americans
are the ones to be employed. They
are the proper and the safest custo-
dams of American trade secrets. and
will feel not only trade pride but pa
triotic pride in whatever success they
achieve.

The District Ignored.

Denial of plank in the repu bhcan
platform at Chicago favorable to ma
tional representation for the District
of Columbia was put on the ground
that this is local question of kind
that national political organization
cannot touch upon in lis formal derla
rations of principles. It WAS argued
that if this were done for the Dis
trict the party would be compelled to
give heed to all other local questions
affecting the states The argument is
not sound For there is no parallel
for the Districts condition, No state
in the Union is So situated, The Dis
trict alone of all the continental
United States is denied the basic
American right of representation. Its
citizens alone of all the people of
this country are deprived Of voice in
their own government. There could
be no possible jealousy on the part
Of any Of the states for the devotion
of few lines in the republican party
platform expressing the wish that the
American principle of representation
should be applied here at the seat of
government as elsewhere in the re-
public
Another reason given for failure to
include the Districts plank in the
platform was that this is a matter for
Congress to handle. So on many other
matters on which the party platforms
touch. Legislation is the essential end
and aim of most party deliverances and
declarations. Congress is the medium
through which a party acts to accom-
rlish the results sought and declared
for in its quadrennial pronouncements.
What is the reason for the failure
at Chicago' Is it lack of interest on
the part of the platform writers and
the convention itself in the welfare of
the people of the District This can
hardly be. The people of Washington
are not unknown to those who com
pose the convention in Chicago. Their
political situation is well known. The
absolute injustice of the deprival of
American rights must be appreciated.
1t is true that there were many mat
tiers calling for consideration and ex-
preston in the republican platform,
and that the work of framing it was
done quickly and under pressure of
time. But surely matter so clear,
so free from partisanship. so intimate
~ part of the true republican prin-
eiples, which are also the principles
Of the democracy, which are, indeed,
the principles of Americanism, should
have been entitled to the few minutes
and the few words necessary to ex-
press the hope that the right Of suf-
frage, the right of national representa-
tion should be granted to the people
Of the National Capital, even as the
platform expressed the hope that the
work of extending the franchise to
women of America should be complete ed
speedily:
