THE WEBB BILL VETOED.
Mr. Taft vetoed the Webb In
terstate Liquor Bill. He assigns
as his reasons therefor that he
thinks the bill is unconstitution
al. This position is assumed by
some other great lawyers. He
also says that Congress did not
provide anything to take the
place of the deficit which the
passage of this law will create in
the revenues of the country. He
says that it will cause a loss of
revenue annually to the extent of
$77,000,000.
His last reason is easily reme
died. Not so the first one. If
the law is unconstitutional the
Supreme Court is the proper
tribunal to pass on this question
and not the executive. This gov
ernment is divided into three
great departments for the trans
action of the business of the peo
pleThe Judicial, The Legisla
tive and the Executive. Neither
division has any right to encrdach
on the other. President Taft
argues otherwise. He claims
that when the executive knows
that a bill is unconstitutional, he
should veto it. On the surface,
it seems that he is right but on
reflection he is entirely wrong.
The judicial department is com
posed of nine great lawyers each
one selected because of .his emi
nence as a lawyer. To them the
constitution has delegated the
right exclusively to pass on 'the
constitutionality of laws. The
President may in good faith be
lieve a bill to be unconstitutional
and yet the Supreme Court may
unanimously declare it to be con
stitutional. To carry out the
idea of the President means to
" unhorse the courts and allow the
President to unhorse the legisla
tive branch of the government.
In other words, it makes .the
President the legislative and the
judicial as well as the executive
branch of government, a condi
tion that was studiously guarded
against by the framers of the
constitution.
While we entertain for the
President the greatest respect,
we believe that he was radically
wrong in his act That the Sen
ate and the House took this view

9-lyr
of the matter is evident from the
fact that the Senate in less than
two hours after the veto mes
sage was received, passed the
bill over the President's , veto by
the crushing vote of 63 to 21 or
a three to one vote. In the
house his veto fared but little
better for the house promptly
passed the bill by the decisive
vote1 of 244 to 95. .
In both House and Senate,
there are great lawyers who know
something of the constitution
themselves.
It is now up to the Supreme
Court to pass on the bill.
A copy of the law is given on
the local page.
Now let our grand old Demo
cratic party make good. It has
been panting for the opportunity
for many' years to show the peo
ple how the government should
be run. .
The only difference between to
day and yesterday is that one
party is in and the other out,
A dollar in tax money should
buy a dollars worth of good
things for the country. ,
Good roads, good bridges, good
schools and good churches.
Retrenchment and reform.
We
stand for both.
Edmund Vance Cooke
Edmund Vance Cooke, the
poet, actor, and philosopher, who
was heard at the Normal Chapel
on Saturday evening was greeted
by an enthusiastic audience.
Mr. Cooke's adaptability to all
ages and conditions, his clear in
sight into the weaknesses and
follies of mankind, his love of
child nature with its wonderful
possibilities all proclaimed his
genius, his versatility, if indeed
further proof were needed, after
hearing his matchless "Nineteen
Hundred and Now."
From a simple rhyme of child
hood, he would soar "above the
flight of common souls," into
realms of beauty and poetry and
carry captive the imagination.
His closing words were an in
spiration, and sounded a note of
cheer to those who scorn the lit
tle things of life; "the test of
greatness is the way we meet the
eternal every day."
President Perry
Our good friend Dr. H. L. Perry
went to Louisville last week with
out any political asperations, to
attend a meeting of Rexall Drug
gists. At this meeting the genial
Doctor was elected President of
the meeting. The honor came
unsolicited, unsought, and unex
pected and took the Doctor by so
much surprise that he blushed
like a sixteen year old with her
first at a country picnic and could
scarcely return thanks for the
honor. Dr. Perry is a most ex
cellent man for the office.. He
will fill it admirably and to the
satisfaction of the Rexall pill
rollers:
Mr. President, we salute you.

closed an evening of pleasure, interest, and
profit Beside the club members there
were present quite a number of gaests
who enjoyed the hospitality of this rwpu
lar young hostess.
When one thinks of France unconcious
Iy the mind pictures sunny shores, sunny
slopes, sunny streets, and so it was not
surprising that an afternoon of f ranch
music should be one of sunny strains.
The Cecil ion Club- held its last meeting
with Mrs. Pickels and for the second time
this year gave an afternoon up to the study
of French composers. Massenet and his
opera Manon were the chief consideration,
but there were other selections by him
as well as other writers. Mrs. Neale Ben
nett gave the story of the opera, and Mrs.
Middle ton a sketch of the composer. Both
the first and second Concert Suite from
Manon were given in duet form,, the form
er by Misses White ana ricKeis ana tne
latter by Mrs. Denny and Mrs. Dean.
Mrs. Hanger gave two lovely songs, "Dost
Thou Know" and "Thou Art Mine," Miss
Giunciuguam playing a delightful accom
paniment Mrs. Kellogg played the Medi
tation from, his opera xThois. In the
sweetness and recuirence of, his motifs,, its
occasional orchestral effects and the fre
quent change of tempo, one is led to be
lieve that Massenet was a close s.tudent of
Wagner. The other numbers were a most
attractive talk by Miss Gladys Perry on J
the Original Carmen, and some particu
larly interesting Current Events by Miss
Helen Bennett and two exquisite things
from Godard. Mrs. Hoskinson played his
Joycelyn Berceuse, and Miss Marie Louise
Kellogg his yenetienne Barcarolle. At
the close of the program one of the guests
being so desirous for more of "the food
of love" these last two ladies played on
and each responded with much ea&s in
delightful, encores.; - Twice nothing was
ever completed without the womanjn the
case Miss Florence Rogers played the Air
de Ballet No. 3 by Chaminade, with the
daintiness and lilt with which the com
poser herself might have done it There
were a number of guests present and the
social part of the afternoon was keenly
enjoyed, by all as they partook of the delicious-
luncheon and chatted . informcilly.
