Sometimes, if I can stand still
long enough without screaming,
I have it made to order. Other

Just send it" and rush out.
This gives one a bad name

History Upholds Presidents
In Use of Veto Power
By James T. Williams, T.

Courage consists not in h0z-
Grding Without fear, but being
Tesolutely minded in just
cause. -PLUTARCH.
Rare even in the annals of
his exalted office is the courage
revealed by President Roosevelt
in his veto of the Independent
Offices Appropriation Act for
1885.
And the message to Congress
accompanying the veto. will
take high rank not only among
the messages of President
Roosevelt but among the state
papers of the Presidency.
In this message, Mr.. RooSe-
velt argues clearly and most
earnestly and persuasively in
support of his conviction that
veterans service-connected dis
ability "is a question Of fact
rather than a question Of law"
And the fair-minded among
his opponents will not deny the
President the commentator
due his valor in standing reSo-
lutely for what he believes to
be "justice to the war dead, jus
tice to the wounded. and justice
to the American people"
Test of Courage
The veto power puts to the
test the courage of every Presi-
dent. All Presidents have en-
ployed it sparingly, the earlier
Presidents more sparingly than
those of recent years.
Of more than 600 vetoes to
the credit of previous Presi-
dents, less than so have been
overridden by the Congress.
Only eight Presidents have
failed to exercise the veto
power. These were John Adams,
Thomas jefferson, John Quincy
Adams, Martin Van Buren, Will
liam Henry Harrison, Zachary
Taylor, Millard Fillmore ana
James A. Garfield.
In Garfield's case, there was
no opportunity for him to en-
ploy the veto power because he
died before the session of Con-
gress convened. He was the
only President since the Civil
War from whom Congress re-
ceived no veto message.
Washington vetoed two meas
ures and Lincoln three. Grover
Cleveland holds the all-time
record for the number of his
vetoes, which totaled 800. This
was because Congress swamped
the White House with private
pension bills, passed in behalf
of veterans of the Civil War in
complete disregard Of the merits
of the case.
In fact, among pension bill

SPRING CLOTHES
By Robert Benchley

This did nothing to reassure
me, but I had to have the suit
and knew Of no other place
to go.
On visiting the tailoring
establishment of the great man,
I found that he didn't speak
English and thought that I was
a button salesman. An accom-
plished assistant, however,
translated to him that Mr..
Doaks had sent me, and he
asked me to step into his pri-
vate office. AS I crossed the
threshold I realized that had
on a ready-made suit which I
had bought in Hollywood! The
skylight was too high up for
me to jump through, and the
door was already closed behind
me.
The maestro looked me up
and down, and made some crack
to his assistant in italian. The
assistant laughed a nasty laugh,
and told me to take off my coat.
Although it is customary to take
off ones coat while being
measured for suit, I had some
how hoped that I could avoid
it this time. I thought some of
saying that all I wanted was the
the trousers, but he wouldn't
have liked that, was sure.
So I took may coat off and
doubled it up quickly, and tried
to shove it casually under a bolt
of cloth on the table. Then fol-
lowed a series of quick maneu-

fill in with imagination. But
this was the heart of it:
1.-THE white man was driving
us from our lands. Already he
had destroyed the buffalo on
which our people lived. Now he
wanted our homes, everything
we had. The red man had given
almost all. The Great White
Father in Washington h d
signed a paper pledging to the
Indians forever the Black Hills
for a home and hunting
ground. It was a promise made
to the Great Spirit. But the
white man never kept a prom
ise to the Indian. Always lies
and broken treaties.
whatever the Indian had
that the white man wanted, he
took. He wanted the Black
Hills because gold had been
found there. So he broke his
promise again. He tore up the
piece of paper the Great White
Father had signed. The min
ers invaded our lands. The SOL
diers came with them and shot
us when we protested. What
was the Indian to do? Where
was he to go?
Doomed Squadron
"Our old men counseled pa
tience. But the young men
were angry. I was young then
and all for fighting. So we
painted for war. Our great
medicine man, Sitting Bull,
promised us victory. We went
into the hills and laid trap
for Yellow Hair. We knew Yel-
low Hair and his way of fight
ing. Brave, but reckless as the
wind. He came with his riders,
thinking We were only a few.
But We were many. Six thou
sand Sioux and Cheyenne rose
up in front of Custer when his
troops came to the Little Big
Horn. We had them on every
side. There was no escape for
any.
For hours we rode around
and around Yellow Hair and
his Long Knives as they stood
upon a little hill. We shot them
one by one, as we shot the buf-
falo. When they had no bullets
left for their long guns they
fought with their little guns un-
til they had no bullets left at
all.
"Only a few were left then,
not more than I could count on
the fingers of my two hands.
Yellow Hair was of these, q
brave warrior, standing up very
tall. When the time came, we
charged these, and killed them
very swiftly. I do not know
who killed Yellow Hair. I think
it was Rain-in-the-Face. Then
the Great White Father sent
armies against us and We ran
away to Canada" 49,
This is the story as told TO
me by Standing Bear.

A Moral Obligation
Government and Banks.

There be doubt that the Federal Government has
moral obligation to to the assistance of the 100000
thrifty and industrious citizens whose money has been lost
to them by the closing of banks
THAT OBLIGATION STARTED TO RUN WHEN THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONDUCTED IT'S GREAT
ANT1HoARDING CAMPAIGN.
THAT OBLIGATION GREW WHEN THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT PERMITTED, IF 1T DID NOT DIRECT
MISLEADING STATEMENTS AS TO THE CONDITION
OF BANKS INTO WHICH IT WAS URGING THESE
CITIZENS TO PUT THEIR MONEY.
NOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ASKED TO
BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES OF THAT OBLIGATION. IT
Is ASKED TO PASS AND PUT INTO EFFECT THE BILL
INTRODUCED IN THE HOUSE BY REPRESENTATIVE
CLARENCE MCLEOD OF MICHIGAN.
Under this bill the Federal would not be
giving anything these citizens who misled into leaving
their money in unsound banks It would simply be ad-
vancng to them money which theirs and which would be
returned to the Government period of years.
Under the Mcleod bill the Federal Government would
never be without security the money advanced to the
distressed depostors.
Before penny would be advanced relieve the depositor
the Federal Government would hold securities assets
which within short time could be sold for possibly even
than the Government would be called upon advance
With this simple transaction of the way the country
would longer be trying buck depression while carrying
deadweght of thousands of millions of dollars of frozen
wealth
would be putting that wealth work in the fight for
recovery.
would be putting that wealth to work alongside of the
thousands of millions of dollars which the Federal Government
is alreaay pouring into the recovery fight
Is there anyone who believes that this wealth. belonging

News is a stone cast into the
great pool Of time. The stone
may sink-the present fact may
be forgotten for whole genera
tions-but the falling of that
stone causes endless ripples over
the pool which has no limits.
We are minded of that in hear
ing of the 100000 estate left
by a very old woman who was
the center, many years ago, Of a
grim tragedy in the history OF
our country.
She was Mrs. Elizabeth Ba-
con Custer, widow of that reck-
lessly brave and romantically
handsome cavalry officer, Gen.
George Armstrong Custer
one of Grants right hand men,
who bore the flag of truce at
Appomattox. And from the
Civil War he rode west to fight
the Indians of the Plains and
come to his end, with his regi-
ment, in one of the epic battles
Of history.
Yellow Hair
One terrible afternoon long
ago, in the hills of Montana, a
little company of blue-clad SOL
diers made their last stand.
Dismounted from their horses,
they fought, back to back, as
the circling Sioux and Chey-
enne warriors pressed closer
and closer, riddling them with
bullets and arrows. In the CEN
ter of the faSt-thinning group
was General Custer, fighting
bare-headed, his curling yellow
hair falling to his shoulders.
And finally, as the sun Slanted
to the West, he fell, shot
through the heart, almost the
last of his men. Presently there
was not a living white man on
the field. The red wave rolled
over the heaped-up dead. The
Seventh U. S. Cavalry was
wiped out in the Battle of the
Little Big Horn.
That tragedy of Indian war
fare seems a long time ago, and
was a long time ago. Grant was
still President and groaned when
the dreadful message came to
him over the White House wire.
But it all seemed very real and
fresh when I heard the story OF
Clusters last stand from the
lips of a 93-year-old Sioux chief
who was in the battle and saw
Yellow Hair, as the Indians
called General custer. die with
his men.
He's 81 now, old Standing
Bear, a chief of the Ogallalah
Sioux, but he was a warrior OF
81 when he followed Rain-in-the-
Face, Gall and They-Fear-Even-
His-Horses, in the battle Of the
Little Big Horn. Straight and
slim for all of his weight OF
years, Standing Bear has the
look of an old Roman. I can't
give you his words. They came

gaps between a picture one must

and me, he trying to get a look
at the label, I fighting my heart
out to prevent him.
While I was being measured
he took a peek, and then came
out with another crack in Ital-
ian which sent his master into
stitches and threw me into a
state of furious blushing. I
kept hearing the name of the
friend who had sent me intro
duction into the badinage, and
gathered that they thought he
had been playing some sort Of
joke on them.
So, as a joke, they went
through with the horrid busi-
ness, and I got my dinner
clothes.
I still have that suit, and I
think that when I go to get
my new blue suit this spring
I will wear it to the tailor'S. At
any rate, he can't Sneer at the
