VARDAMAN AS A CRITIC
Condemns Acsion of President Wilson
 on Platform Pledges.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington. - Senator Vardaman criticised President Wilson for failing to keep the pledges of the Baltimore platform. He referred to one of the presidents speeches in which he said the Democratic platform was mot mo- iasses to catch flies with
 '1 trust" he added, that 1t will not be out of place for me to suggest that it becomes the duty of the president to see that the interests of the Ameri. can people are not flies to be caught with somebody else's molasses."
 Declaring that he regarded a plat form pledge as binding as the oath of office. Senator Vardaman continued: ::
 "The idea of any one human being, however great in his own conceit or wise in the estimation of others. to imagine he has the power to absolve himself from such pledge to substi- ute some theory of his own in place thereof, is a heresy in political re- lgion in the United States, which is now being preached and practiced by the leaders of the Democratic party for the first time. It may be treason to the crown. but 1 cannot approve it I will not subscribe to such a doc trine"

 Niagara Falls, Ont.-Mediation We'd nesday waited on General Venustiano Carranza. The Constitutionalist com mander in chief has in his possession a communication from the mediators that opens the door for Constitutional ist representation in the conferences here. Upon his word depends wheth- CT the Mexican problem will be set tied by diplomacy or whether the Con- stitutionalists will continue to fight their way to Mexico City.
 The mediators have smoothed the path for Constitutionalist participa- tion. The United States government wants them to accept. A rejection may mean the Washington government s withdrawal of the moral support it has been causing.

Assessment of Bauxite.

What is the equitable assessment for taxation purposes of mineral prop critics lying below the surface, unde- veloped, and whose extent is largely problematical?
 That Is the question that is to be passed on during the coming month by the Saline county Circuit Court. The case is that of the American Bauxite Company, which was assessed last year by the assessor at 1000 900, upon the basis of estimates made by geologists of the possible deposits on the lands owned by the company. This was reduced by the Board of Equali- zation to s4,000.000 An appeal was made to the county judge, who refus, ed to make any further reduc ion, and now the question is to. be taken be- fore the circuit court. Previous to this assessment, the company had been paying on an assessment of about S800,000, The case is set for a hearing June s.

Goinu to Frisco.

Governor Going to Frtsco.
 Gov. Hays is preparing to leave for San Francisco June 20, with a party of Arkansas Boosters, for the purpose of looking over the grounds prepara- tory to making an exhibit from this state at Panama Exposition. He has sent out a number of invitations to prominent men in all parts of the state to join him, and has already re ceived a number of responses, and more are expected. It is the inten- tion of those back of the movement to see that Arkansas is adequately rep resented at the exposition, notwith- standing the failure of the legislature to make an appropriation.
 Nothing has been done relative to actual plans for the trip to Frisco as the governor is awaiting response from all of those to whom he address ed request to join the party. The trip will likely be under the direction of General Superintendent J. w. Dean and Assistant General Passenger Agent Fred E. Schroder of the Iron Mountain.
 Failure of the Arkansas legislature to make an appropriation for the ex- hibit left the matter up to the people of the state. With Governor Hays talk ing the initiative and the states most representative citizens assisting, pros- poets are bright for the placing in Frisco of an exhibit in keeping with the states resources.

HER MEDITERRANEAN Proved a Wise, Good Friend.

A young woman out in Ia. found a wise, good friend in her mother-in-law Jokes notwithstanding. She writes:
 T was greatly troubled with my stomach, complexion was blotchy and yellow. After meals I often suffered sharp pains and would have to lie down. My mother often told me it was the coffee l drank at meals But when I'd quit coffee I'd have severe headache.
 While visiting my mother-in-law remarked that she always made such good coffee, and asked her to tell me how. She laughed and told me it was easy to make good coffee when you use Postum.
 "1 began to use Postum as soon as got home. and now we have the same good coffee (Postum) every day, and I have no more trouble. Indigestion is thing of the past and my com plexion has cleared up beautifully. My grandmother suffered a great deal with her stomach. Her doctor told her to leave off coffee She then took tea but that was just as bad
 She finally was induced to try Post um which she has used for over a year She travelled during the winter over the greater part of Iowa, visiting, something she had not been able to do for years. She says she owes her present good health to Postum"
 Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to We'll ville." in pkgs.
 Postum now comes in two forms
 Regular Postum-must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages.
 Instant Postum--is a soluble DOW der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickl, fin a cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar, makes delicious beverage dnstantIy. 3oc and 5oc tins.
 The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same.
 There's Reason for Postum.

 What can be done? How can this wasteful school system be speedily remedied so that it fills its real func. dion and sends out into the world boys and girls developed according to their individual talents as far as those talents permit? It is a big question ebut in my next article, I propose to outline a rational, practical system of public education which will serve chose ends.-Pictorial Review

Suffraoette Problem Serious

London.-How to deal with the grow, ing menace of the militant suffra- gette agitation is becoming a problem of tremendous importance not only for the government, but for the com munity at large. Efforts of their well. wishers to persuade the militants that they are retarding the cause have been in vain; they are convinced that noth- ing but force will achieve their aims and they have been applying them selves with renewed vigor to outrages. Prison has no terrors for them.
