Mother Goose Next? Blue Law Extremist Now After Famous Jingles | BLUE LAWS threaten to exterminate that mighty | institution, the rhymes of Mother Goose. These famous jingles “teach no morals” and must be elimi- nated, Katherine Blake at « convention of the | National Educational association. No morals? Oh, lady, lady! The “Mother Goose Rhyme:, Chimes and Jingles” embody all the philosophy produced thru the ages by the intellect of man.

There are many morals to the troubles of the Spratt |family. Two of them: Marry your opposite to insure |harmony. By a just interchange of commodities, the wants of all are satisfied.

Let credit be given where it is due, | Jet */\and in vetoing this vast.sum, the governor has, indeed, |exhibited a good deal of resolution and courage. Not that we agree with him in detail. Far from it. It is hard to believe that the veto of an appropriation for the orthopedic . st!hospital, and for other charitable institutions, amounting The fanfiy|in all to less than $100,000, is either in good taste or, in unclasp, and show with;the long run, economical. There are, perhaps, a half| deaths | dozen other places where the exercise of the veto would | SS oriuly |have profited the state more. We may question the discretion and the good judgment of the governor, but not the boldness of his decisions. He this — the power of the veto, and he is not too modest to use it. This brings us to question whether it is not giving too much power to this one man. Take, for instance, the ortho- fedic hospital appropriation. There was hardly a dissenting vote on this bill in either house of the legislature. Is the combined judgment of 139 men to be given less weight than the governor’s single view? The constitution never intended that. It provided that the legislature may pass measures over the governor's veto by a two-thirds vote of both houses. But the legislature has adjourned. The governor’s veto comes in many cages after adjournment. There is no opportunity for the legis \lature. to override a veto, however improper it may be, |until the next session, two years hence, In actual practice, oy et ial veto after an adjournment by the legislature is final. fs . Surely, this is not to the best interests of the state. tte tie eo pe ag yp rer | There ought to be some way to permit the legislature to Fied, and then stun him right quick|pass on each and every veto of the governor.
