frankly, and believe that in stating it am probably in agreement with those who framed the platform to which allusion has been made.
 q think that very few persons, per haps realize the difficulty of the dual duty that must be exercised, whether he will or not by President of the United States. He as President of the the United States is an executive changed with the administration of the law, but he is the choice of a party as leader in policy. The policy is determined by the party or unless up- on unusual circumstances by the de- termination of those who lead the party. This is my situation as an in dividual. l have told you that I be- lieved that the best way of settling this thing and the best considered principles of the Constitution with re- gard to it is that it should be settled by the States. 1 am very much ob- liged to you"

THE WORK OF THE SUPREME
 COURT.

The work of the Supreme Court of the United States should be a good ex- ample to other courts of the land. This great tribunal adjourns for va cation with only fourteen argued cases undecided. There have been 591 judg- ments rendered by the Supreme Court since last fall and many of these have been of vast importance and nearly all of them were rendered with una nimity. It would be difficult to recall time when the ideal which found expression in the creation of this court would be so nearly realized. Justice has been determined promptly but not without much labor. The members "f the court have not forgotten the fact that they are there for work. There has been no timidity, no partisanship and no respect for persons. There is scarcely a court in the United States that can not profit by the example. Our own Arkansas Court is far above the average in promptness in trans acting business. If courts which deal mostly with fundamentals can clear their dockets what excuse should there be for the congestion which appears everywhere among inferior tribunals which are asked to mediate only be- tween man and man.

There are several bills pending in Congress looking to the enlargement of the duties of the Inter State Com merce Commission. Necessarily every one of these bills would add something to the duties of the commission as well. For example the Ryburn Bill which proposes to give to the Com mission power to regulate the stock and bond issues, would increase it's powers, but would also increase it's burdens and perhaps at greater ratio. This fact suggests that if the powers and burdens of the Commission are to be increased, there ought also to be some provision for increasing its working capacity. It is a fact that the possibilities of the Inter State Com merce Commission when it is fully developed are very great indeed and it will doubtless become necessary to increase it's scope, powers and mem bership.

BIG BUSINESS IN MEXICO

It would seem that Big Business is to be placed once more on the grill in the United States Senate for the pur- pose of establishing exactly what part it has played in the Mexican sit uation. Under the circumstances senate leaders say that there is but one thing to do and that is to set to work a new sub committee to inves- tigate the conditions and probe to the bottom perhaps one of the greatest international scandals of the age.
 Nothing that has occurred recently has aroused such intense interest as

the publication of the private cores pondence between the Washington junta of the constitutionalists, the moving figures in which are attorneys of that city, particularly s. c. Hop kins, H. Clay Pierce, Chas. R. Flint who has large financial relations with South Central America and others in- cluding General Carranza as chief of the revolution.
 On the one hand the Standard Oil interests are backing Huerta and are in control of the situation so far as Mexican railroads and oil interests are concerned. On the other the Pierce Flint interests are backing Carranza. In the opinion of prac- tically every one who knows anything of the situation, until the difference between the great interests are settled the war in Mexico vii continue.

Mark Sullivan writing in Golfers says that the president himself initia- tes practically all of the bills and the work of Congress and shapes legis- lation on all important subjects. This statement is not true. It is true that the president is very important fig upre in all legislation of important subjects, but he is not the whole thing and does not pretend to be Every bill so far enacted and every bill that is meant for enactment at this session was initiated at the Baltimore con- vention. The president no doubt as a member and leader of the party had an interest in this, but he is not the whole party. He is simply trying to carry out the policies and promises of the party and so far is succeeding admirably well.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE
 LADIES AGAIN.

A laroe concourse of ladies have
 called on the president at the White House again and he has again demon
 strated his ability to handle deli
 cate situation. He was just as cour- icons this time as he was before, brt
 nerhaps a little more frank. He re-
 minded them that he was leader of
 great party and must be governed
 by the policies of that party to a large extent and that he could only state as an individual his own convictions on any public question. After the ladies had made known the object of their call and asked for an expression of his opinion and his approval of the |proposed constitutional amendment |giving the vote to women, he replied briefly as follows:
 "You have asked me to state my personal position with regard to the bending measure. It is my convic- |tion that this is a matter for settle ment by the States and not by the Federal Government, and therefore, that being my personal conviction and lit being obvious that there is no ground on your part for discourage |ment in the progress you are making, land my passion being for local self |government and the determination by |the great communities into which this Nation is organized of their own pol l icy and life, I can only say that since | |you turned away from me as leader

Goose was there, a busy old woman,

She gossiped and gabbed with the
Old Woman Who Lived in Shoe.
and together they tried TO calm the
nervous and dainty Miss Muffet.
They All We're There.
Old Mother Hubbard was there and
the Queen of Hearts, and Jack and
Jill and-oh, well, it was like one of
the Old Home days st a county fair,
with many old cronies to greet and
old times to recall.
1t all came about because Of an en-
tertainment given by Chapter No. 8
of All Saints Church, of which Mrs.
Linton Hopkins Is chairman.
The children, impersonating Moth
er Goose and her family, furnished
the most of the entertainment, pre-
senting a formal program, the first
part of which consisted of tableaux
and Mother Goose recitations, en- cos
tune, and the second of dancing and
singing, in which little Sarah Wag-
staff was quite the center of attrac-
ton.
