President Hoover almost made a record when he| vetoed two general pension bills in one month. His first pension bill veto was that of the Spanish War veterans, which was quickly passed over his head by both houses of Congress. This was followed the other day by his veto of a World War pension bill, which the House sustained. The latter bill was passed by the Senate overwhelmingly after the Presi- dent had warned that he was opposed to it and, in effect, threatened to veto it. The House sustained the veto by a very large vote. Few Presidents have lost favor through vetoing | measures that have passed Congress.

Westward Lore. (Seward Gateway.) Did you ever browse around in the real early history of Alaska, back in the times when men were trying to find out if Asia was connected with America? Mighty interesting; especially the, chronicles of those early voyages of Commander Vitus Bering and Captain Alexie Chirikov when they came over here from Kamchatka in 1741. They had made earlier voyages but this time they struck the coast of Southeastern Alaska and went right by Resurrection Bay although they were short of water. They were afraid to bring their sailing vessel close in. Then there is that mystery of the fifteen men that Captain Chirikov sent ashore with water casks' somewhere around Sitka and were never heard of again. The Captain cruised up and down for two weeks but all his small boats were gone and| he couldn’t land. Historians think they were mas- sacred but there still persist strange tales of a white strain among the native inhabitants of that coast. About fifty years later Kodiak was established and became the seat of the first Russian Governors; the first capital of Alaska. There are fragmentary | accounts of how they sent their malefactors to imprisonment on that lonely island of Chirikov,| south of Kodiak. They even tell of a man bemgw Cleveland was®called the “Veto President” because‘ he vetoed many times more bills than all thej Presidents before his time combined. Most of his| vetoes were of private pension bills, but he, too,! vetoed a general pension measure. While his vetoes‘ may have cost him votes in 1888, he received an| overwhelming majority in the election four yefirs} later. CANADIAN POLITICS. Canada is to have a National election July 28 and naturally Canadians are watching local elec- | tions in the various Provinces with interest. There- | fore, when New Brunswick voted the other day and sustained the Conservative Provincial Government there was rejoicing among the Conservatives through- out the Dominion. However, there was some con- solation to the ‘Liberdls .in the circumstance that their pafty gained six seats in the election and the Conservatives lost four seats. The Conservative plurality was cut from 24 to 14 and the majority over all reduced from 22 to 1¢. The Liberal leader | was defeated for re-election as were the Conservative Speaker and Minister of Agriculture. The indications are that the political contest in Canada will be very warm and probably very close. JUST HUMAN NATURE. The New York Times thinks the Chicago Tribune has no greater reason for declaring war on Chicago gangland just because one of its reporters was killed than if the murder victim had been otherwise con- nected. Theoretically that is perhaps correct, but naturally it is not. One usually lets the police make the war on heinous criminals, rendering such support as good citizenship requires, unless the association with the victim is close. The Kkilling of a reporter by Chicago gangland brought the crime close to the newspapermen. It was, in effect, notice to them that they must be careful about the manner they conduct their publications. Members of organizations are usually more zeal- ous in law enforcement when their organization or its members have been stepped on. Employers fre- quently offer special aid to the police when an em- ployee is killed or injured. We have often noted the increased energy of the police in running down a murderer when the victim was a member of the police. All this may not be just right, but it is human nature. OVERMAN AND SMOOT TO SHARE DEAN TITLE. When Senator Simmons retires from the Senate next March it will leave Senator Overman, his col- league, and Senator Smoot sharing honors as the oldest Senators in point of service. Senator Sim- mons became a Senator March 4, 1901 and Senator Overman, the other North Carolina Solon, took his seat two years later, the same day that Senator Smoot entered the chamber from Utah. When Senator Warren died recently it left Senator Sim- mons as the Dean of the Senate, a place that he 18 doomed to give up as a result of his refusal te support Gov. Smith, the nominee of his party, for President in 1928. The defeated North Carolinian will have been a Benator for thirty years when his presnt term expires next March. The other North Carolinian, who refused to follow Senator Simmons into the Hoover camp, will have served thirty years when his term expires in March, 1933. The fact that he remained loyal two years ago will probably give him a renomination and re-election two years hence if his health holds out. AMERICAN WOMEN GETTING MORE BEAUTIFUL. American women are getting more beautiful in the opinion of James Montgomery Flagg, the famous artist and illustrator. {to -be making an investigation for the benefit of buried alive there and the natives of the Westward still believe his spirit abides there along with the {300 head of wild cattle that range that wind-: swept |waste. ‘Then there are bells’ ringing in Kodiak today that were cast in Kodiak from bits of coppet scrap over a hundred years ago. Yes indeed, the| |Westward is rich in historic lore. ‘Football at West Point. (New York World.) It turns out, from an investigation made by the Washington Bureau of The World, that six of the |last nine captains of football teams at West Point |have been permitted to resign without serving tha | |required four years as officers. and that 26.6 per |cent. of the players during the past five years, | reckoning on the basis of the total squad, have| been former college stars, or ahout 50 per cent. reckoning on the basis of the actual line-up for | the games. The facts as to the captains speak| for themselves. They mean that these men were| brought to the academy to play football, and| that after they had received military educations in return for their football-playing they were al- lowed to drop out without giving the taxpayer any return for his money whatever. The facts as to the college stars are certainly arresting. There Is nothing reprehensible per se, of course, about col- lege players who go to West Point and play foot- ball after they get there; it used to happen oc- casionally, as in the case of the celebrated Daly, and nothing was thought of it. But when so many | of them appear, year after year, it is difficult to escape the suspicion that they were offéred induce- ments and the next question is: What induce- ments? As to this, the War Department is said Representative Hamilton Fish, and one hopes 1t does not fail to cover the main point here. It isj the same point as is involved in the case of the captains: How many of these college players wers permitted to resign after graduating from the acad- emy? When we know that, we shall know how much fire is behind all the smoke. Non-Combatant. (New York Times.) It is a mistake for The Chicago Tribune to de- clare war on the underworld because one of its re- porters has been assassinated by a ganster. The dead man was in intimate touch with many of the gang leaders, as he was with their natural enemies —let us hope at least—the police. He was shoi down hecause presumably he got to know too much, although hitherto he had never violated confidences acquired in either camp in the line of professional duty. It will be clear to The Chicago Tribune, on re- flection, that its reporter was a Red Cross casualty in effect. To declare war in reprisal for the death of a reporter would be like the Red Cross declaring war on a combatant nation for the death of a hospital worker. The life of a reporter has more than its share of hazards. They range from death by gunshot or diesase in war areas or in Chicago gangland to death by boredom while interviewing celebrities. It is for the Chicago police to square| accounts with the murderers of The Tribune re- porter, and for the reason that he was a man and a citizen and not a reporter. In view of current unemployment statistics, it is perhaps fortunate that so many of the current | college graduates have been prepared for life rather than for making a living.—(New York Times.)

There still seems to be some question as to how $250,000 can be spent on a primary in a dry country.—(Cincinnati Enquirer.) He also considers Catherine Dale Owen and Greta Garbo the most beautiful women on the screen today. “Beauty in women,” he explained, “has to do with the bone structure. If there is no good bone structure there can be little beauty.
