Reported By Barre Delegates to UA.
versalist Gathering at Baltimore.


Principal and Mrs. 0. X. HoIlister,
Mrs. G, B. Milne and Mrs John Jones,
who left here about week ago to at
tend the national convention of the
Universalist church at Baltimore, Md,
returned home last evening, having
visited during their trip, Washington,
ID. c., and New York City. At New
York City Prin. o. X. Hollister met a
young Spanish lad, Gandres Caballero,
jr., age 20, who had Just arrived from
British Columbia, South America. and
who was on his way to Barre to enroll
at Goddard seminary. This young man
is the son of Gandres Caballero, super
intendent of the Havana branch of the
New York Life Insurance Co., and
comes to the United States to learn the
English language and acquire a knowl-
edge of commercial work so that he
may later assist his father in the in
surance business.
AT the Universalist convention no
less than 600 representatives of Uni
versalist churches throughout the
country and a few from Canada were
present and displayed an unusual
amount of enthusiasm for the future
church work. During the course of the
convention it was divulged that the
million dollar drive which for several
months has been conducted in all parts
of the United States was more than
successful, for ST ,265, 900 had been sub
scribed The wQmen's missionary as
sociation of this church, which raised
100000 recently, ordered that kin
dergarten school costing $4,000 be
erected in Toxic, Japan, in connection
with the Blackmer home, which is
financed by this association. 1t was
also voted to send two more mission
AIRY ministers to North Carolina, and
it is expected that when the general
convention is held, which will be some
time in the near future, another mis-
sionary will be sent to Texas to estab
lish a John Murray lecturcship.
John Murray, the founder of Univer
salism in America, arrived on the
shores of Massachusetts, in l770, so at
Gloucester, Mass, sometime during the
latter part of next summer, the l50th

TRY TO FORCE
BILL OVER VETO
After House Passed Prohi-
bition Enforcement Bill
Senate Took 1t Up
UNPRECEDENTED
SPEED IN HOUSE
Senate INDUCED in a Sharp
Wrangle Over Pro-
cedure

Washington, d. c., Oct 2s-An effort
to have the Senate act on a motion to
re-pass the prohibiting enforcement bill
over President Wilson's veto was made
soon after the Senate convened to-day.
Several Democrats objected and long
parliamentary wrangle over the rules
ensued.
When the bill was received from the
House, Senator Sterling, Republican,
South Dakota, who had charge OF the
measure when it passed the Senate,
asked unanimous consent for immedi-
ate consideration. Senator Robinson,
Democrat, Arkansas, objected and then
Senator Sterling moved that the Sen
ate, which was in open executive ses-
sion for debate on the peace treaty,
proceed to legislative business.
Objection TO laying aside the treaty
was made by Senator Hitchcock, Ne
braska, the administration leader, who
has opposed prohibition measures IN
the past Although Senator Sterling
said he was sure the bills disposition
would require but very short time,
Senator Hitchcock urged that debate
on the treaty continue, declaring the
people were beginning to believe the
Senate was deliberately delaying the
treaty.
Senator Nelson, Republican. Mime
sofa, chairman Of the Senate judiciary
committee, endeatored to cut of dis
cussion by declaring Senator Sterling's
motion non-debltable. Republican
Leader Lodge and Senator Smoot, Re-
publican, Utah, also quoted rules de-
elaring the prohibition bin was privi-
legged.
Senator Lenroot, Republican, Wis
consin, who was presiding temporarily,
decided that the motion was debatable.
Urging that the presidents veto be
sustained. Senator Underwood, Demo
crat, Alabama, said war time prohibit
tion was unconstitutional because it
involved eonfscation of private prop
crty without adequate compensation.
Why Wilson Vetoed the Bill.
In his veto the president said that
he could not sign the measure because
it provided for enforcement Of war
time prohibition, which, he asserted,
sound public policy makes clear the
reason and necessity for its repeal.
Confidence was expressed that the nec-
essary two-thirds would be obtained
to override the veto Should action not
be taken to-day it was considered GER
tain that the measure would be
brought to a vote tomorrow.
The vote in the House yesterday of
l76 to 55, p more than necessary, came
within three hours after the presidents
veto was announced from the White
House and followed an uproar in the
chamber lasting from the time the ex-
ecutive message was read until the
final roll call The prohibit:onists set
a record for congressional action, for
so far as veteran members and EN-
ployes could remember, never has
presidential veto been overridden with
in three hours after ii was announced.

The Railroads.
(From the Nation. J

Federal operation of the railways con-
tinues to show unfavorable financial re-
suits. Director General Hines has re-
recently pointed out that the govern
ment's deficit for the first three months
of this year, or the difference between
net earnings and one-fourth the guar
anteed annual compensation, was about
1892 900 900. and that the correspond
inf loss for the whole of 1918 was $780,
100000. 1t is only fair to say that MIR.
Hines 8 estimate OF the deficit for the
first quarter of 1919 greatly exceeds the
figure arrived at by the Bureau of Rail
way Economics, and the director general
explains that his method of figuring
gives an unduly unfavorable picture of
the financial position. None the less,
| the loss is serious one, and it lends
point to Mr. Hines s plea that the roads
/ be returned to private ownership at the
earliest possible moment. If the ship
per and the travelling public had reaped
any gains commensurate with the cost,
there would be more voices raised in
favor of the retention of the reads, but
i in view of largely increased rates and
| fares. combined with deteriorated serv-
ice and financial deficits, it is hard to
make out a case for operation by gov
eminent as inefficient as our own. Sena'
3 tor Cummins, in a recent address, truly
/ asserted that transportation is as i'm.
portant a function of government as the
maintenance of order. Yet he went or
i to declare that he advocated private
operation of the roads, because it had
been demonstrated that the government
could not manage them either economic
ally or efficiently. Our experient-
made under difficult conditions, to b,
sure-has been sorry failure thus far
Yet the old feeling against the abuse!
of private ownership, combined with tbs
newer industrial unrest, has led -four
thousand striking shop employees II
