The Board of Trade met last week for 'ho purpose of plan ning some entertainment, and while the arrangements are not complete, some of the detail.; are these: A re ception will be given the teachers on Tuesday night at the school audito rium, when they will spend a social hour meeting oui' people and each other.

A week later a social entertainment, more elaborate in detail, will be given at tile auditorium, and at some lime during the term a trip to Clem son will be tendered the visiting teachers. We take this opportunity to extend lu advance, on tho part of our people, a hearty welcome to Seneca and to our homes. It has been suggested that during the sum mer school term arrange ments be made with tho librarian, whereby tho visitors can have access to the library. We think this a splen did idea, for outside of the pleasure and benellt tho plan might afford the teachers, it will bring beforo the public our pet Institution, the Pub lic Library.

Washington, June 17.-"ho Presi dent to-day vetoed the army appro priation bill. Ho returned the bill to Congress with a message indicating his disapproval ot the legislative pro vision which would oust Major Gen. Leonard Wood of tho ofllee of chief of staff on March 4 nnxt. In his message the President said: "The anny of the United States ls far too vital an Institution to the people of tbls country to be made the victim of hasty or imperfect theories of legislation. As was pointed out by the chairman of the Senate mili tary committee, it ls well known that the war college and the general staff have been for many months engaged upon a comprehensive plan of army reorganization. At the present time, therefore, lt is especially Inappropri ate, in my opinion, to force upon the statute books legislation enacted without the usual deliberation and care." The President gave six specific reasons for finding the bill objec tionable. While President Taft did not men tion Major Gen. Wood by name, he made it plain that oite of his rea sons for vetoing thc bill was its pro vision to legislate that officer from his office as chief of staff of the army on March 4, 1013. Tho President pointed out that the limitations im posed upon the incumbent of that office by the terms of the bill would have disqualified many of tho army's most brilliant officers. He also ob jected to tho provision which would have removed officers of the Phillp plne constabulary, the Panama Ca nal work and the bureau of insular affairs. So now, the army bill rests in com mittee and the anny's appropriation for the coming year will be unpro vided for until lt ls repassed without the features to which President Taft objected, or until a resolution ex tending tho appropriation of the pres ent year to the next ls put through.
