The Gibls in the Schools.

A somewhat liberal discussion
oG the proposition to place the
Bible in the public schools is be-
ing indulged in by educators in
many sections Of the country.
The consensus Of opinion appears
to be that very distictnationality
should have the advantage OF
some kind Of religious teaching.
Those who may disagree with
Biblical authors by reason Of
religious beliefs should have the
right to say whether their child
rem shall be required to study the
King James version Or otherwise.
The idea is shat since all religious
beliefs are advantageous III the
advancement of civilization, the
instructive period should not be
allowed to pass without giving
the youthful mind some idea OF
the fundamental principles OF Che
religion Of their forefathers. The
Old Testament is acknowledged
to contain some Of the best anci-
emit history the world has ever
produced. If, then, parents wish
their children 10 be wellread they
must include the Bible in She
curriculum they would have them
pursue. Some Of the ablest
writers Of the past century form
ed their style from their intimacy
with Biblical literature, Surely
it is an accomplishment Of which
any man might be proud to say
that he possesses q fair knowl-
edge Of the Bible and the noted
characters Of which it treats. 1t
could be no disadvantage for the
schools 10 include the Bible,
leaving it to the opinion Of par
ents whether their children should
be included in the Bible classes.

Proyd Of Arkansas.

The Rev. q. Gordon Smeade,
rector of Christs church, Little
Rock. Ark, was in Washington
yesterday On his way from Ar
kansas to Philadelphia, Mr..
Smeade is a native of Virginia,
and was educated at the Virginia
theological seminary at Alexan-
dria. Eour years ago he went to
Arkansas and assumed his pre-
sent charge.
"When / told my friends that !
was going to Arkansas some Of
them threw up their hands in hor-
ror and acted as though / were
about to leave civilization" Mr.,
Smeade remarked yesterday af-
tenoon at the Metropolitan hotel,
"All that they knew Of Arkansas
was what they had read in the
Arkansas Traveller. That paper
has done the state great injua-
lice. It has rs great resources as
any state in the Union, I doubt
whether there is q city in the
United States which contains
more cultured and refined people
than Little Rock.
Railroads are rapidly bringing
Arkansas out Of the ruts. It's
mineral wealth and timber are be-
ing developed very rapidly, 1t
has been discovered that southern
Arkansas is one Of the finest cot
ton districts in the United States,
and people are beginning to ap-
preciate that Arkansas raises
better fruit than any other state.
The population Of Arkansas is in
.crea8ing at rapid rate. It will
not be long until people will be
compelled to quit poking fun at
old Arkansas" - Washington

The Essence Of Democracy.

The essence Of democracy is
equality before the law. Is not
the Jelfersonian principle OF Equ-
al Rights for all, Special PriviI-
egos to None violated when a
mere handful Of men, relatively
to the whole number, are permit
nd year after year to use the tax
ing power oG the government to
heap up fortunes for themselves
beyond the dreams Of ayarice,
from exactions that are es8enti-
ally robbery Of all consumers?
On the simple issue Of pros
perity itself there is ground for q
contest ON an unequal division OF
its benefits. The average cost OF
living has advanced from 25 to 30
per cent within four years. The
average increase Of wages has
not been 10 per cent. Is this an
equality to confirm by ballot?
Export facts published Saturday
shows that our highly protected
manufacturers are selling their
products on an average Of 40 per
cent cheaper to foreign consum-
ers than to our own. In this a
phase Of prosperity TO propetu-

HOT ONES FROM DAVIS
You criGcise me, Myers.
Why, you havenever accomplish
ed anything in your life.
| would not for anything On
earth get out and wear Powell
Clayton's collar-thats what You
DO, Myers, You won't wear it
Greaves, and that's to your ever
lasting credit.
Why, Myers uses bad grammar
and one of his choice remarks is
Il have saw"
The England convicts heard
that might be defeated for gov
ernor, and | am informed that
there was almost an insurection
among them.
You know, Myers, that Greave5
knows of Powell Clayton in
famous rascality. That's why
you don't want him in this cam
paign.
It was nv idea to get Greayes
and Myers into the same ring
and bump their heads together,
But Myers wouldn't fight.
Myers, will ask every white
voter to remain away from the
polls and run with you among The
niggers. And I'll beat you.
You have the efirontery, you
little iackanapes, to talk about
your superiors.
If Myers was Governor you
would have to chain him in his
office at night to keep him out Of
the treasury.
There isn't enough in Myers to
put me on my mettle. He's just
a little spewy, sicllly baby.
When women come TO me cry
ing and screaming about their
convict sons and brothers it
touches my heart, and in nine
cases out Of ten I will pardon the
offender. | just can't help it,
MYERS HOT ONES.
I demard Governor Davis to
point out one solitary act of his
that has benefited Arkansas.
You can't feed children on
tombstone epitaphs. We are
looking to the future.
Nero was a pretty hard Old boy
but in his palmiest days he was
not the equal of Davis, who be-
ieves himself the uncrowned king
of Arkansas.
Of all the yillainous abuse |
aver heard it was Davis on Jones
during the senatorial campaign.
1t was behind his back and cow
ardly, too.
Davis says Clayton permitted
me to run. Wei, maybe he did
and maybe he didn't, but I'm
running just the same.
l predict that If Davis is re-
elected there is not Democrat
in the state who can be chosen to
office without consulting him.

belongs IN the galaxy Oh sUaVeS'
Trusts are flourishing SO pro-
fusely in Little Rock that the

will find that the insurgents are
not "Mammy" when milking
time comes.
