q Ols(t .from ST. Micbolas

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through
the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
Ihe stockings were hung by the chimney with care.
In hopes that st. Nicholas soon would be there:
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar pums danced in their heads:
And mamma in her kerchief and | in. nv can
Had settled our brains for long winters nap-
When out on the lawn there arose such catter
sprang from my bed to what was the matter
Away to the window IaAew like flash,
Tore open the shutter and threw up the sash,
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave lustre of midday to objects below;
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer
knew: in moment it must be St. Nick
More rapid than eagles in his courses they came
And ne whstled and shouted, and called them by
Nov Dasher! Now Dancer! Now Pranccr! Now
Vixen
On Comet! On Cupid! On Donder and Blitzen!
10 the top of the porch to the top of the wall!
NOW dash away, dash away, dash away ALL"
AS dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
When they meet with obstacle mount to the sky
SO up to the housetop the courses they flew,
With sleigh full of toys-and St. Nicholas too.

Motor Company puts out these films
without cost to us and our only ex-

VETO NOW SHORN
T. s. Supreme Court Hands
Down Important Decision.
TWO-Thirds Vote of Quorum
Sufficient To Pass Bill.
KANSAS COURT IS UPHELD
Mahin Case Went Up Following
West Opinion.
The Decision May Affect Much
State Legislation.
KANSAS COURT IS UPHELD

Power of a legislative body to pass
measure over a veto without the
support of a two-thirds vote of the
entire body, has been upheld by the
United States supreme court in its
affirmation of the state supreme court
in the Mahin law contest. The ap-
proval of the legislative procedure is
the first ever given by the United
States supreme court and is matter
of vital concern in view of the coming
legislative session in Topeka.
Not only does the new court inter-
probation affect future legislation in
Kansas and other states, but may have
an important bearing on previous leg
islation. The Kansas supreme court
upheld the new theory in an opinion
written by Justice J. S. West when the
Mahin act was tested. The state court
upheld the Mahin law. as well as the
general provisions of the federal
Webb-Kenyon act and declared that
the passage of the federal law by the
United States senate over President
Taft's veto was legal.
Veto Loses Power. ~
Under the new court ruling the bars
are let down to legislative bodies in
the passage of measures over a veto.
The former accepted theory was to the
effect that a veto could be overridden
only on a two-thirds vote of the con-
StltuUonal membership OF both houses
The new rule, however, provides that
a veto may be set aside when two
thirds of the quorum present votes in
support of the measure under con-
sideration. Justice West in the orig
inal opinion by the Kansas supreme
court held:
TN passing a bill the senate upon
reconsideration after a veto, it is not
essential that two-thirds of all the
senators vote therefor, but it is suffi-
cient if two-thirds of a quorum sup
port the BILL"
The original Webb-Kenyon act upon
which the Kansas Mahin law was
based. had passed both branches of
congress and was vetoed by President
Taft. Two-thirds of the quorum in
the senate sought to over ride the veto.
The Kansas law was contested on the
theory that the Webb-Kenyon act had
failed of final passage and that the
senate vote against the veto had been
insufficient.
The court ruling on the theory now
enables congress and state legislatures
to- overdue a vetoe without a consti-
tuional two-thirds vote. Thus in the
votes are required for a two-thirds af-
firmative. Under the new court au-
thcrity the senate might convene with
might pass it over the governors veto
with 20 votes. Should a bare quorum
of 81 members be present, the veto
might be overcome with IA votes, or
seven less than the number required
with a full membership when the bill
was under consideration for original
passage.

GOOD ROADS FIRST
In Missouri Legislature Is
Ready To Act.
First in Minds of Members Is
Permanent Highway.

Jefferson City, Jan. S.-That good
roads legislation is occupying first
position in the minds of members of
the fiftieth assembly of the Missouri
legislature, which convened at noon
today, was indicated when, despite the
closely drawn contests for the presi-
dency of the senate and the speaker
ship of the house, many legislators
were discussing the two good roads
propositions that will be before the
session for consideration.
The amendment of the present good
roads lawS providing for a highway
commission of one Republican, one
Democrat, the governor to act as ex-
officio member casting the deciding
vote, is recommended by some of those
who are giving the good roads move
ment their attention. The present
commission consists of four members.
Responsibility would be checked up to
the governor under the proposed plan,
they declare. Lack of progress in
building roads under the present pro-
gram, they say, demands a change.
A second proposition. which has the
support of Governor Gardner and is
being advocated by the Missouri-Fed-
Grafton of Commercial clubs, is the
plan to issue road bonds in the sum
of sixty million dollars to carry out a
definite program to build 5000 miles
of permanent roads to connect all
county seats and market centers in the
state.
Early action on the rccd problem
is expected.
