WHATN. HERALD
THINKS OF JAS. K.
Says Zone of the Wilful is Disciple
of the Commoner," Intimates
That He Struts.

The New York Herald Of recent date
under Washington, D. G., date line,
contains the following rather humor-
Gus write up of Senator James X.
Vardaman of this city:
"Since the newspapers throughout
the country have published the names
and the photographs of the "little
group of wilful men who recently rem
dered the United States helpless and
contemptible" there has been an al
most national inquiry regarding them.
From sections where photopraghs of
these men have beep circulated there
is an especial interest in how Senator
James X. Vardaman acts like when
normal, what he ever did to affect the
joy of living and how he ever got
anywhere anyway with his terrible
makeup.
"In order to allay all amused cur
iosity and to make clear many things
which a picture of the member from
Mississippi can reveal few facts re-
garding the man and the makeup are
set down here.
"In the first place Mr.. Vardaman
likes Mr. Bryan, always has supported
him at all times in his political career
and likes his better lately than ever.
Aside from his political belief, Mr..
Vardaman has sartorial faith in Mr..
Bryan, following his scheme Of dress
in some factors, but beating the
Commoner out in the sartorial stretch
by wearing a wider sombrero, longer
hair and a theatrical cloak such as
Mr.. Bryan unquestionably would hesi-
tate about.
"Early in his life, when Mr.. Varda-
man became the sole owner and un-
questioned editor of the Winona Ad-
vance, q Mississippi publication, he
The daily commonwealth. (Greenwood, Leflore Co., Miss.) 1916-1919, 1917-04-03

ceased walking and begun to strut,
and in the ensuing years he has per-
fected that means Of locomotion to the
last jota. Even in dead calm he can
so walk that his cloak floats out be-
hind his little heels, his flowing hair
blows hither and yon and his whole
appearance indicates upon reaching
any street corner that something has
arrived. To say that he breads him
self ia. an outright error.
"When any two great minds in the
Senate clash in the discussions Of any
known subjects Mr.. Vardaman can be
depended upon to begin parliament
ary advance into the discussion, after
which it ceases to be discussion and
becomes something Of mystery. The
subject is invariably led out and lost
by the roaring member from Misis-
sippi. For years he has been on the
point of saying something and nervous
Senators have long yearned to have
him say it and have it over with.
"Senator Vardaman's recreation is
horseback riding, and even that di-
version he leaves entirely to the will
of the people. If for any reason
Pennsylvania avenue is thronged with
persons, whether suffrage uprising,
a parade or the arrival Of sightseers,
the member from Mississippi dons
white riding suit and the largest black
sombrero north Of Yalobusha county,
Mississippi, and rides right down in
view of every one. So if you cannot
dig us throng there is no chance of
seeing Senator Vardaman recreating
himself.
"To those who do not know Mr..
Vardaman his latest action is astound-
ing, but to his intimates it is precise
ly what they aexpected. For years
they have expected anything"

request that it declare that state.
Of war exists between the United
States and Germany. The prospects
are that q resolution to that effect
will reach the floors Of the House and
Senate during the afternoon and il ia
taken for granted that the declaration
will be adopted by Congress within
two or three days at the most.
. The President in his. address espsc~
tally asked Congress to declare ta1nE
the recent course Of the German gcv-
ernment was one Of war against the
American government and the people
of the United States, and that this
nation accept the status Of belliger-
ent forced upon it.
Congress today, acting for the peo-
pie Of the United States took steps
looking to enabling the nation, as the
President expressed it, to exert all
power and employ all resources to
bring the government Of the German
empire to terms to end the war"
While Congress went ahead with
the work the Cabinet met in a virtual
war council. The President in his ad-
lress did not make it clear exactly how
he proposed to raise the army Of half
million men but it was assumed he
would authorize the National Guard
md Regular Aarmy to war strength.
