of the veto power of the President

Contrasting Colonel Roosevelt and
Mr. Bryan the latter, said Mr. t)ies,

while.the former President professed
to be opposed to Socialism.
“Mr. Rooseyelt seeks to walk in the
path the Caesars trod," he said. “Mr
I Bryan will be content with a million
new subscribers for his paper, Roose
velt wants to emulate the bad examole
of Diaz of Mexico and bieak down the
constitutional barriers against presi
dential successison. Mr. ]^an gives
aid and encouragement to Roosevelt,
as against the Democratic party and
for the principles of Democracy, as
written in the constitution, he offers
no word ol encouragement.”
Mr. Dies, charged that Mr. Bryan
endorsed Colonel Roosevelt's policies
while condemning Speaker Clark, Gov
ernor Harmon of Ohio, and Represen
tative Underwood, majority leader of
the House.

Fools and Their Bets.
(From the 'Kansas City Jotimal)
The story recently printed that «
fool, to win a bet, put a billard ball in
his mouth and it took a suiffical oper
ation and the removal of five teeth to
gee it out, reminds Father Bec|^ of a
simpleton he once knew whose first
name was John. One day John waa
with some girls who were having fun
putting hens* eggs in their moutbtf
and John dedared that he conld put a
goose egg in his mouth and the girls
dared him to do it.
John was brave and wouldn't take a
dare, and by dint of perseverance he
got the goose egg in. Nit when he
tried to take It out it wouldn’t come,
and when he was threateiwd with
lockjaw the giris got scared and hus
tled John off to a doctor. The doctor
after diagnosing the case, doubled up
his fist and with an undercut belted
John one on the chin. John was re
lieved, but the egg never amounted to
much as a goose ^^g afterward.
a.e sorry to relate, says Father Beck
that the experience did not do much
good in curing John of the silly habit.
He kept on biting off more than he
could chew for the remainder of
life.
