THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
A Final Plea For Its Adoption By Prof
W. II. Watkins.

Newport, Ark, Aug. 20
am sorry that | forgot to hand in
my little say on the amendment
last week. | am more hopeful
for the passage of the amend
ment now than | was a week ago.
| find that railroad towns, sdch
as Swifton, Tuckerman and New
port, are for it. | understand
that jackson county will so for
it. We need it much worse up in
Sharp than they do down here.
They have lots of money here,
but they want more. believe
that, if the amendment is voted
down, it will be done by the peo-
pie in the poor counties and poor
districts, where it is most needed.
You have probably noticed that
the man with a housefull of child
rem and a school tax of fifty
cents is more likely to vote
against @ school tax than the man
with one child and school tax
of fifty dollars. So | think |
have discovered that this
amendment is likely to receive
its hardest blows from those who
ought to be lis friends.
AS this is my last opportunity
to say anything through the COL
umns of the paper 10 behalf Of
Amendment Number Eight before
the election on the third Of Sep
tember, after which | fear it will
be everlastingIy and oternally too
late, | wish to call attention to
the Importance of every voters
going to the poll and casting his
ballot as a free and Independent
and thoughtful man ought TO do
I hope that every friend Of the
amendment will not only vote
right, but will spend the day at
or near the polls explaining the
provisions Of the amendment to
those who still do not understand
them. Our people are honest
and they love their children,
They will, therefore, vote for
Amendment No. 8, when they
understand it. If they are loyal
to their various organizations,
they are for the amendment, The
State Democratic Convention
endorsed it. The State Republi-
can Convention endorsed it. The
Farmers Union has endorsed it.
And various other conventions
have endorsed it. So it locks as
If the amendment is sure to 60
through, but we can not afford to
let up till the last vote is cast.
Allow me to call attention to
one other fact, and that is that
Monday, September Sd, is not
only election day in Arkan-
sas, but it is Labor Day also. No
one is required to- labor on that
day. Teachers may dismiss their
schools and work for Amendment
No. 8 very profitably On that day.
/ think that ali friends OF educa-
ton will lose an opportunity, if
they fail to spend Sept. 81 in
working for the amendment.
