Tho approach iof the season of
transcontinental summer tourist
travel should bo & signal for us to
do something, if wo can, to develop
the stop-over habit for Omaha. This
travel is headed in both directions,
people from tho cast going west to
tho mountains and Pacific coast, and
people from tho West going oast to
tho lakes and Now England resort.
Omaha is precisely the place to
break a long trip, otherwise likely
to be tedious And tiring, and hun
dreds of tourists would unquestion
ably take advantage of an excuse to
stop here If given half-way assur
ance of enjoying reasonable comfort
and spending tho time ploasantly

Enlarging the Veto Power.
One of the hills lntrodnced into
congress by Senator Nolsoa of Minne
sota proposes to enlarge tho presi
dent's veto powor by pormitUng him
to ct oat soparatfl Item afappro-
prfation bills that appear' objootiq

tloular appropriation Items is vested
in the governor by many ot our state'
constitutions, noticeably in Ne
braska, and It is exercised In this
respect as a rule oven moro frio
quontly than the veto power as ap
plied to goneral legislation.

ment in favor of permitting him to

Vetoed tho sundry, civil appropria
tion bill Just before ho went out ot
office to which a clause had boon
attached designing to nullify the en
forcement of the Sherman anti-trust
law upon labor unions and farmers'
combines. Again, onactments havo
been smuggled Into tho statutes
which would never have escaped a
veto except tor tho fact that they
were hitched on to appropriation
measures which tho president did
not feel warranted in holding up.
It must not bo supposed, how.
ever, that this enlargement of the
president's veto powor can be easily
or quickly brought about, The only
way it can be accomplished is by
amending tho federal constitution,
which is a slow and cumbersome
process at best It must be remem
bered, too, that there is some senti
ment against vesting tho executlvo
with any check whatever upon the
lawmaking body a sentiment which
has manifested Itself in the com
plete Abolition of tho veto power
In a few states, and many cities. As
suming that the amendment is ap
proved by congress and submitted
for Ratification by the states. It
cannot count with certainty upon

Drift of British Kmlfrrants.
One ot the cheering signs of th times
for England Is that while emigration goes
forward steadily thef drift toward the
colonies Is Increasingly marked. Some
Interesting figures on this point were
given by Mr. TlarooUrt In tha Rouse of
Commons recently. In 1506, of 189,000
emigrants, 77,000, or more than half, went
to foreign countries, Last year, of 268,000
emigrants. 120,000, or about SI per cent.
went to the British empire. Only about
one in six ot those leaving the country
Is lost to tho Sag. This tendency Is th
more important because the numbers ot
