SUPPLEMENTAL
REGISTRATION
Yesterday Was the Last Day For Ab
sentees To Get On the
Books.

The supplemental registration tha
began Monday morning at the Court
House, closed last night at nine o.
clock. The number of new names
added to the books was not up to
expectations. Less than 100 were
registered the first two days and yes
terday there was no great rush of
the absentees to get on. The early
registrations showed slight advan-
tage for the Republicans.

been "a Republicans, Ga Demo

OF
Wild GEESE
Vast Numbers of Live Airships That
Pass In the Night.

Vast numbers of wild geese are
now making their annual migration
from the lakes to the gulf and Hop
kinsville being on the direct "goose
line" they are passing over the city
by hundreds. They are flying most
ly at night and making the nights
hideous by their squawking as they
fly.
Yesterday morning in the early
hours between one and five o'clock
nineteen separate flocks passed at
brief intervals keeping people awake
by their noise. The migration has
been in progress several nights, the
geese seeming to rest and feed in
the day time and travel only at night.
In one Indiana town a man who had
a domesticated flock of wild geese
complained to the police that his rest
was disturbed by the calls of the
wild geese that made his own flock
dissatisfied and visited them in large
numbers. The laws permit the shoot
ing of wild geese after August Is,
and it is lawful to bag them if it can
be done.
During the flight over the city one
bird became exhausted and alighted
within the city limits and night Chief
Hawkins promptly arrested it for dis
turbing the peace and the bird is
liable to suffer capital punishment
at the hands of the officer.

PRES. WILSON
VETOES PROH|-
BITION BILL
HOUSE ACTS PROMPTLY AND
REPAssEs 1T IN THREE
HOURS
SENATE MAY DO THE SAME
Bases Refusal of Measure on Fact
Wartime Measure Fulfilled
Its Object.
SENATE MAY DO THE SAME

Washington, Oct. 29.-President
Wilson unexpectedly vetoed the pro-
hibition enforcement bill Monday
and within three hours the house had
passed it over his veto by vote of
176 to 55. The vote was barely
more than a majority of the entire
membership.
Dry leaders in the Senate immed-
lately began laying plans to repass
the bill there. They expect to ask
unanimous consent for its considera-
ton, claiming enough votes to put
it through.
The president refused to sign the
bill because it included the enforce
ment of wartime prohibition.
The objects of wartime prohibi-
ton, the president said, in his veto,
had been satisfied, and "sound public
policies made clear the reason and
necessity for It's repeal"
1t would be difficult, the president
held, for committees to deal separate
ly with the two issues.
The veto hit the committees Ike a
crack of lightning. The house, get
ting on its feet again, deserted its
leaders who wanted to defer consid-
Grafton until Thursday so as to
round up all the dry members. The
drys swept into the chamber and
showed there was an overwhelming
sentiment among them to give the
government ample weapons for deal
ing with the liquor traffic, now out
lawed throughout the land.
Nobody had really prOfessed to
know that the President would veto
the bill. Republicans and Democrats
alike-and the countless multitude
that had sOrrUwfuIly watched the
passing of the bRrs-thought it
would become a law without his sig
nature. Attorney General Palmer,
it was said, had declared it constitu-
tional.
But the president, propped up m
his bed, dictated and then signed a
veto measure and sent it along to
Congress without worrying, appar-
emily about what Congress might do.
With the re-passage of the law by
the house and the prospect of the
same in the Senate, hope of the big
"wet spelr' that would run over the
Christmas season, vanished into
thin air.
Prohibition leaders predicted to-
night that the refusal of the house
to accept the presidents veto meant
that the sale of liquor would not be
permitted again in the life of this
and many other generations.
Senate Follows Suit
Washington, Oct. 29.-The Sen
ate yesterday passed the prohibition
enforcement act over the Presidents
veto and made Immediately effective
machinery for preventing sale of
beverages containing more than one
half on once per cent of alcohol.
The vote was 65 to 20, or eight
more than the necessary two-thirds
majority. While there was wrangle
over taking up the measure in the
place Of the peace treaty, which had
the right of way, there never was
doubt as to how the Senate stood.
1t was overwhelmingly "dry" like
the House, which repassed the bill
after the President had vetoed it.

MARTINS EAT INSECTS
FIX BONES FOR THEM

Doubtless everyone knows the val
ne of the purple martin. which usual.
ly makes its appearance in Kentucky
from April LIST, to the 18th, and
which is one of the greatest insect
destrOyers of the bird specie And
since farmers of Kentucky lose thous-
ands of dollars annually through the
medium of the insect and since it is
most imperative that the blue mar
tin be encouraged to the fullest ex-
tent to come and remain with us, !
feel. that injustice to the hungry.
starving millions. that every house
keeper and every farmer in Kentucky
should at once erect poles and place
upon same a simple and substantial
martin box as home for these most
valuable birds.
1t will only necessitate little time
and expenditure of a very small
amount of funds and will result in
a saving of almost an unlimited
amount of foods and feeds.
Therefore, please do not put it off,
or "let George do it," but begin to-
day the erection of homes for these
busy. useful and badly needed little
birds.

MORE MISREPRESENTATION

That bunch of misrepresentation
of farmers at Washington continue
to misrepresent them by urging in
their name the government owner
ship and operation of the railroads.
Farmers do not favor any such pro-
gram. Most farmers believe as do
most other business men that the
railroads should be returned to their
owners and run under the super
vision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. without some of the re-
strictions that hampered them in the
past. An increase in operating ex-
penses of $1.14S, O00, 200 in 1918 and
an increase in receipts of only $780,
900, 900 during the same period, in
spite of the highest passenger and
freight rates ever known, doesn't
make farmers very enthusiastic for
government ownership.

and sympathy with shat expression
and that message?
Is that the reason?
/ And II il is not. what is it?
We know, of course, that Mr.. vii.
son has told America, that what lies
before him - dc in Paris ia trans
cends in importance those home du-
ties and responsibilities connected
with the Congress. And we know
further. that the President threaten
ed us with disaster because Congress
was obdurate and refused to see
things the Wilsonian way. hoping
that the new congress might be con-
vened and those who hold the latest
mandate of the people might thus be
permitted to give that mandate eff
feet.
We know now, further. that the
threatened disaster-the stagnation
and bankruptcy of the railroad sys-
TENS of the country-is nowhere ex-
pected to materialize. 1t causes no
apprehension in those circles that
should be most concerned. Those
circles are hopeful. They place or
ders. Was it then little better than
a play to the gallery. little better than
a bluff under cover of what it was
hoped to disguise the Presidential
determination to have things his way
and only his way?
And now, it appears, Paris has not
been marking time pending Mr.. Will
sons return; not only has not been
marking time but has made such
progress with the peace terms to be
imposed on Germany as to encourage
the hope that within a week of Mr..
Wilson's return to the Palias Bour-
bon the document may be ready for
signature. Worse yet, there is much
good reason to believe that the
famous constitution America was in
vited to sign without consideration
and almost without perusal will eth
err not be an integral part of the
peace treaty or else be most radically
amended.
Apparently the President is not as
indispensable in Paris as he has been
giving us TO believe. Here we may
be brought to regard one man as
the whole works. In Paris they do
not.
Possibly. by the time our wanderer
returns to US we may be cured like
wise.
There's no telling Disenchant-
ment is contagious.

q. o. r. TO PUSH
BUDGETS FIRST

Washington, March. 1.-THE Re
publicans of the next House do not
intend to be caught mapping by a
call for an extra session of Congress
earlier than had been anticipated by
the President. A preliminary legis-
lative program was discussed by the
steering committee and further dis
cussion will be held next Monday.
1t was informally agreed that the
deficiency bill, carrying the $780,
900, 900 appropriation for the rail-
road administration which failed of
passage in the last Congress, should
be the first appropriation measure to
be considered. The sundry civil bill
will be taken up next.
Hold Advance Hearing.
In order to expedite the passage of
the appropriation bills 1t is proposed
to have the committee handling these
measures hold hearings in advance of
the converting of Congress. Much of
the ground work already has been
laid, it was stated and no exhaustive
sessions will be necessary. The COM
mittees should have the bills ready
for introduction shortly after the
opening day. it is thought.
Representative Mondel, of Wyom-
ing. the new Republican floor leader.
will consult with the committee chair
man and urge upon them the neces-
sity of beginning hearings before the
session is convened.
Republicans and Democrats alike
are beginning to believe the extra ses-
sion will be called by the President
before June, the date indicated in his
talk with Senator Martin, of Virginia,
before his return to France. Recent
dispatches from Paris, reporting un-
expectedly rapid progress in the
peace conference have raised hopes
that the Presidents work abroad can
be finished in time for his return to
this country early in May.
If this proves to be the case, many
of the leaders on both sides expect
call for Tuesday. May, 10. This
would afford ample time to get the
appropriation bills out of the way be-
fore the current appropriation be-
comes available July 1. This plan is
calculated to give the important re-
construction legislation free sway,
soon after the extra session opens.
