SEN. VARDAMAN
ASSA|LS WILSON
CRITlClSES WILSON FOR FAILING
TO KEEP PLEDGES OF BALTI-
MORE PLATFORM.

Washington, June f.-Jus. when
vote on the Panama canal tols eX.
emption repeal bill seemed certain
within a few days, the senate foreign
relations committee today surprised
the senate ard complicated the ei;Ua-
lion by reporting fayorablv a rcsou-
ton designed to lead to the submls-
SION of the dispute with Great Britain
to arbitration by an international tri-
bunal.
There was no discussion of the reso-
luton, but it will be taken up before
vote is taken on the bill itself.
So far as administration leaders
know, President Wilson opposes arbi-
tration unless the repeal bill previous
~ is passed and no word had come to
the capital tonight that he had
changed his position. Many senators
believe without the presidents APPROX
al no arbitration proposal can receive
a majority. During the debate today
Senator Vardaman, democrat, of Mis-
sissippi, a vigorous opponent of re-
peal, criticised the presidents position
and attacked Senator Root, one OF
the leaders of the opposite side.
The Sutherland resolution provides
for arbitration of the differences
that have arisen between the United
States and Great Britain" under the
ay-Pauncefote treaty, 'in the mat
ter of payment of tolls which may be
eXacted for the use of the Panama
canal" 1t is proposed under the
general arbitration treaty between the
two countries which provides for ar
bitration of disputes not affecting ma
ton honor, independence or vital
interest at The Hague or by special
tribunal. The resolution proposes
that the president "be requested" TO
open diplomatic negotiations with
Great Britain with a view to making

REMARKABLE GAIN
IN P. 0. RECEIPTS
SHOWING FOR MAY AS COMPARED
WITH ONE YEAR AGO SHOWS
GAIN OF OVER 60 PER CENT.

The postoffice of a city is a pretty
good business barometer, and when
the receipts of an office gain sixty
per cent over the same period of last
year it can truthfully be said, in the
yeruacular of the street, to be going
some" But the figures from the To-
cal office show that condition here,
and this in the face of the fact that
no political headquarters are located
in this city, with bunch of candi-
dates sending out literature to the
Dear Pee-pul" all over the state.
This increase was brought about by
legitimate business conditions only,
and is substantial.
During the month of May 1913, the
total receipts of the office were ST.
o9L27. For the month Of May, 1914
the total receipts were $2,761.60, a
gain Of $1O6i.33.

The National Red Cross has of
fered to send free of charge a vi
sitting nurse to every county in
the state of South Dakota that
will sell ten thousand or more
Red Cross Christmas Seals ct 1c
each. This nurse will spend one
month in our county and will
give free health lecture, better
baby" lectures, visit chronic cases
of sickness, report to proper au-
thorities cases of contagious and
infectious diseases, and do any
and every thing to promote bet
ter health conditions. The bene-
fit to county derived from vi
sit of one of these Red Cross MUIR
ses cannot be overestimated. Let
us by all means begin now to sell
the required number of seals and
get one of these nurses. Our la
dies clubs, our aid societies, our
churches, our public schools and
all other public organizations
should get busy at once and sell
seals. If each organization would
sell a certain per cent of the a.
mount required the work would
not be much for any. The seals
always sell for 1c and they will
be found in al the leading business
houses of our city. They are
used from now until January LIST,
1915, on all letters, cards and
packages as a Christmas Sucker,
but do not pay as postage. Buy
your seals early and remember
that every penny spent for Red
Cross Christmas seals, helps to
carry ON campaign for better
health conditions in South Dako-
