 Com mission is of immediate in- terest to all automobile owners Tn the state They have been paying the tax to the Secretary of State heretofore, $5 a year, and obtaining the tags from that office. Hereafter the tax will be SlO a year, payable to the tax col lector of the county in which the vehicle is owned, and the tags are obtained from the CommisS- ioner of State Lands, Highways, and Improvements upon the pre-. sentation of a receipt from the collector. The penalty for fail ure to pay the tax when due is seisure and sale, with fees pro- vided for all officers making col lectionS and seizures, The cars on which the tax for the year 1913 has been paid are exempt from the new law. The tax on the cars for which the 1913 tax has not been paid is now due and payable on or before April 10 without penalty.
 This information is contained in the first official bulletin issued by Ruben c. Dye, Commissioner of State Lands, which depart ment will hereafter be officially designated as the Department of State Lands, Highways, and Improvements.
 As soon as a few of the minor details in connection with the es- tablishment of the Department can be disposed of, system of inquiry among County Judges, and road officials and engineers will be taken to ascertain the To- cation, class, and condition of the roads in the state, with the idea of determining where l state system of highways can be built to serve the greatest number of people. In connection with the formation of districts to locate and build the main arteries, lo> cal districts will be formed lead ing from the principal highways through such localities as may desire them.

 The new law gives the Commis- sioner of State Lands the appoint i've power for the engineer Of the department, the assistant engi- neer, the secretary and three clerks. The engineer of the Un- iversity of Arkansas is made ad- visory engineer of the depart ment.

MELODRAMA MoDERNIzED
AND HUMANIZED

The easy drift of a man led on by
the dangerous lure of irresponsible
woman is a many told tale of today
and such is the fact that sweeps one
man out of life, another into a living
death, in the picture play entitled THE
Ne'er to Return Road" just from the
fine interpretive pen of Mrs Otis
Skinner. The highest values of psy-
chology seldom get more vivid and
trenchant treatment in the polyscopic
play than it secures in this fine study
of the evil light that lies in womans
eyes, and the deeper depths of pity
and virtue that make them merciful
to salvation, than is realized in this
petite tragedy in THE Meier to Return
Road" Out of the pother of sensation
alism and silly sentimentality, away
from the too raw or raucous plays of
passion that sometimes escape con-
demnation--such play is THE Meier
to Return Road which rises superior,
not relying on fiction to furnish high
err aim than fact but deity picking
straws from the flotsam and jetsam
of tangled and troubled lives, and
weaving them in a telling and fasci-
mating fabric. The appeal to the moth
er for mercy is just as unfailing and
potential as of yore, and the dram.
atist's direct supplication to the sympa,
thies need no argument to enforce con-
viction in the case of THE Meier to
Return Road" A two reel special at
the Lomo theatre tomorrow.

LUCKY" BAlDWlN'S VERSION
OF STORY OF PETER AND JOHN

The September American Magazine
articles entitled, Those Who Have
Come Back" This series is to show
how men and women who are failures
at forty have taken new hold on life
and are today reputable and success
full. The first story in the series is
about Christopher J. Baif, who Is
known as Lucky Baldwin" Lucky"
Baldwin was born on the East Side in
New York City, and, up to the time
he was thirty-seven years old, was an
all-round sport and "good-for-noth-
ing" He was then converted in the
Jerry McAuley Mission and, after sew
eral years, organized mission in
Chicago which he now runs. Follow
ing is one of the stories in the arti-
Gle, descriptive of Baldwins earlier
days:
1T was about this time that he got
one night into a Bible class conducted
by Or. A. F. Schauffer for the benefit
of Bible school teachers, and heard
him read a portion of chapter from
the Bible. The idea of what this

Mr.. gRYAN's LECTURE TOUR.


William j. Bryan's statement that
his expenses at Washington are in ex-
cess OF his salary of $4,000 a year
viii be readily accepted by all men
familiar with official life. To aug.
ment that salary Mr. Bryan has accept
ed invitations to lecture during the va
cation period, and Immediately there
has arisen very enthusiastic and Wig
orous complaint against that policy. In
the first fash of the situation it is not
unnatural that there should be some
disposition to oppose the suggestion
that the government of the United
States is not paying it's representa-
tives salary sufficient for their main
teLance, and yet, it is obvious, that Mr..
Bryan's four years at Washington will
mean a sacrifice on his part of, per.
haps, $4,000.
We will probably be told that he is
not compelled to make that sacrifice;
that he was under no obligation to
accept the position of Secretary of
State, and that If he is not prepared
to make the sacrifice he ought to de-
cline to continue longer In the Cabinet.
1t Is possible that close friends of the
secretary will disagree with his decis-
ion in this matter, but, after all, in
what way will Mr.. Bryan's acceptance
OF these lecture invitations offend
against the welfare of the nation? He
Is recognized around the globe as one
Of the worlds greatest, most accomp
lished. most powerful and finished
orators. His lectures constitute a
great source Of education. He is hon.
est, patriotic and courageous. He ex-
poses that which Is wrong and es-
pouses the cause he believes to \be
right. He does not fear to attack en-.
trenched evil because of its power, nor
does he compromise on issues simply
because II would be popular to do SO.
Bryan as public speaker performs a
service to his country equally as great
as any service by any official any
where.
OF course. the question Of finances
should not enter into the discussion.
In accepting the state portfolio, Mr..
Bryan did so with his eyes open. He

knew what it meant to him to accept
1t. In the course of years the office
of secretary of state has. grown to be
a Temple of Silence. Its occupant is
supposed to be as immutable as the
Sphinx of Egypt We have recog-
nized diplomacy and silence as inter
changeable terms, but when Mr.. Roose-
welt wanted to send Mr. Root into New
York state to assail William Randolph
Hearts, the then Democratic candidate
for governor, the secretary of state did
not hesitate on the mission. When
Mr.. Roosevelt went from the office of
the secretary of state to boss a New
York Republican convention there was
no charge that a great tradition was
being cracked. These missions were
purely partisan-and many believed
them to be partisan without the adjec.
tive. Mr.. Bryan's is a patriotic SER
vice; Mr.. Roots was a political
service wholly indefensible.
If Mr.. Bryan desires to spend his va.
cation on the lecture platform there
Is no fair or reasonable objection that

honestly differ with him, but the more
they examine into the proposition the
less they will find to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

physically or mentally. But this need

a revolutionizing of our present edu-

inadequate children. I lay stress upon
the fact that apparent inadequacy and
inferiority with the consequent incom-
potency are frequently due, not as is
so often believed to stupidity and
obstinacy but to the fact that the

our schools has been unable to find
the key to the mental life of these
children.
