vote is that only FIVE OF the original
Republican supporters of the nILI
switched over and supported t.,s
Delaware and Edge of New jersey,
ton; Cameron of Arizona end
of South Dakota, who recently was
defeated at the primaries. Not a
New Englander senator came to the
rescue. Senator Lodge annoupced
himself to be paired, but he might
without any great difficulty have
liberated himself from this obliga-
ton and thrown his influence to
the President. Thus he might have
rendered the administration a SER
vice of genuine value.
Too much may be made OF the
Democratic support of the. Presi =
dent, however. THE beneficaries of
the proposed pension legislation
belong largely in the North. The
civil way pensioners make the
greater number of the total con-
templated in the Bursum bill. che
Democratic senators do not expose
themselves to any severe crossfire
of criticism by voting for the veto.
But there energies the most dis
couraging aspect of the whole stu
ation, the apparent lack of any large
number of senators who are willing
to brave the perils of an snti-
pension vote.
This time the President took all
the risks. And we fancy the people
like him all the better for it.

One of the phenomena of the past
few yeats which have not escaped
the attention of astute political OBJ

in the Importance of 5. the Ex-
ecutive veto. Time was when the
veto power was but rarely used. 1t
was assumed by Executives that the
legislative bodies under them knew
what they were about.
Thai assumption is no longer safe.

TO MOBILIZE OUR DEFENSE

Any practical effort to educate the
people Of the earth to regard war in
its true light. to comprehend that the
solution Of the problems Of life are
not obtained by war, that war Of ag-
gression is intrinsically a crime
against humanity, deserves support.
1t must b% made unless civilization
is to perish by the sword to which 1t
unjustiy resorts. But an effort to
convince onespeopie that war may be
abolished by them and without CO.
operation throughout the world; that
the time has come for the lamb to lie
down with the lion. time to inculcate
the belief that II We win but scrap
our defenses and say to the world
We will not fight to defend ourselves
against aggression. that there will
come an end of aggression, II dam
gerous doctrine. We best awake to
the truth that this IL q very mis-
chievous effort, calculated not to end
aggression but to invite II.
Some have gone so far az to op-
pose any attempt to mobilize the
forces on which the country must
depend for its defense. 1t Is crafty
ing to note that their protests have
had no influence. The President has
authorized the. war department to
proceed with its plans for mobiliza-
ton on Sept. IL. On that day as
sembly will be blown on the hughes
in cities, towns and villages all over
the country and an army day for
regulars, for members Of the ma
tional guard and organized reserves
will be inaugurated by mastering
them into the service for one day.
In that way we may arrive at some
comprehension of what would be
necessary did danger impend. These
plans also contemplate a mobiliza-
ton on paper of all transportatio
facilities. projects for movements OF
heavy guns, for troop trains and YES
sci movements. AS Secretary Weeks
says. 1t is important that the public
should know Of these plans and un-
derstand the purposes therefor.

and who tells of the adventures of
his youth when through no fault of
his own, he became involved with a
Dand OF pirates, and was obliged to
i've on the same island with them,
although not mingling with them at
that time.
It concerns that theme which never

AS soon as Photographer Crane
had found his camera, he and Little
Jack Rabbit jumped into the Billy
Goat Ssagecoach and were on to
Carrot City.
OF course the little rabbit was
excited and hoped up and down on
the seat until the lopypops in his
knapsack almost dropped off the lit
tie sticks and the pink rings on his
candy cane nearly slipped on.

He could easy hop as far
AS his good old grandpapa."

little bunny rabbit boy, "but you

Then Photographer Crane took a
snap shot of the pretty blue bird as
they drove through the big gate and
over the field to the big tent. The
little rabbit looked out of the
window and nodded to the children
who were waiting for the show to
commence.

Driver, and out jumped. the little

AS soon as the children were

ing Government expenditures within
Government income has become so
fixed as to "place it beyond debate"
The test of that policy seems to lie

To preserve it, there must be an

One Veto Sustained

On. Y. Herald and Tribune)
The Bursum pension bill was an
outrageous piece of legislative et-
frontery. A similar bill, vetoed by
President Harding. was not even
brought to vote again. That
President Coolidge's veto should now
be sustained by the slender margin
of one vote is good index Of the
progressive generalization Of Con-
gress.
In principle this bin to shift money
from the pockets of the American
taxpayers. which il to say the Amer
lean people, into the pockets of
favored group is of a piece with all
the other legislative grabs which the
House and Senate have favored.
President Coolidge did his plain duty
in vetoing this bill. The American
people look to him to veto the bonus
bill and the fantastic substitute for
the Mellon bin that is in prospect.
Yesterdays vote is not in itself
promise of much for the future.
There is little enough glory for either
party in the record. But IT Is, at any
rate. 80 many dollars saved for
American citizens. AnG 1t is a be-
ginning. The minority possessing
courage and convictions have one
victory to build on. The response in
the country will be loud and clear.
May other Senators listen and learn.
