Hold the Fort for We are COmming.

Editor LEADER Some of the
better element of negroes of
Brookhaven met on Tuesday
night, Dec. 4th, to consider the
great question now at issue Of Sc
curing better law observance bv
members of the coIored race. We
decided unanimously that it is
our indisputable duty to put forth
every effort possible in line with
law and right-to assist the Off
GERS and courts to stamp out the
lawlessness now being practiced
by the bad element of the race.
A permanent organization was
effected, known as the CoIored
Law and Order League of Brook
haven. Such officers as were
necessary were elected and an ex-
executive committee was appoint
ed, and their duty explained. Our
aim and object is to confer and do
a. joint work with the white league
of this city in. clearing up these
pest dives that shame the good
name of our city. We don't mean
to do any one harm, but better
the condition of all concerned.
We hope to have the cooperation
of all good people to help US con
strain the weak.
We are,
Respectfully yours,
For Law and Order.

mer and ex-sherlff of Wilkinson
county, for superintendent of the
penitentiary, with J. G. Crosby,

In 1900 the per capita product in the United States was ten cents a day, in 1850 thirty cents day and in 1890 Gj cenrs What brings 1t home to us k to say that on an average every Arkansan produces twenty-six cents d day, while in the United States at large each in- dividual realizes sixty. five cents a day. Massachusetts annually gives her children over nine months schooling and cXpends yearly on each pupil S37 76; while the United States at large averages seven and one-half moath3 school ing and tweuG dollars per pupil. By this longer term and larger outlay, Massachusetts increased the per capita eurning capacity of her people forty cent~ a day over that of the average person of the whole country. When #lhe present producers were ia school, Mas sachu>etts appropriated annually S10. 600, 0no for her schools.

The contention is not made that this relation is aAsolu Q, for other factors may enter, such as differences in soil, capital, and character of educa tion. It might be said too that the wealth of the people deter mines their educational expendi
 ture, that if they are poor their schools will be poor, that if they are wealthy, thtlr schools will be good. This k la part true; for people will often gauge their ap- proprlatiOns fer schools by their wealth. This however does not affect the truth of our main thesis.

Relation of Education
 %e to Production 4. Address By Pref

ever the cause of the failure to provide them.
 Should these facts have any bearing upon the action of Arkan- sas! Our venerable charter of 1874 imposes upon the general as- sembly the duty of maintaining a general, suitable and efficient sys- tenn of schools, but this document which commands also with holds the power to perform. We have long since exhausted our taxing power, both state and local, and 1t has proved wholly inadequate. Many states place no limit upon the taxing power for school pur- poses; they find it safe because the people are not given to imposing unnecessary burdens upon them selves. The limit therefore of both state and district taxation must be raised. The child is the supreme interest of the state; its education is the highest duty of society. Nothing is too good for our child ren. In the light of what has been said the movement to increase school taxes Is not a charity cause, but wise financial proposition, a better investment than railroad bonds or Standard Oil preferred, one which will declare ten years hence from one hundred to one thousand per cent dividend, Ar kansas now realizes $50 or $50 per bale for cotton: let her establish cotton mills and we should realize several hundred per bale; the pig iron of Izard and Independence counties is cheap; convert 1t into watch springs and it will be worth it's weight in gold; our half million raw children are hot worth muel commercially, but educated they are worth millions.
 EDUCATION OR BIG GUNS.
 Does some one say that we are already hardened with taxes? We scarcely know what taxes mean. The French peasants before the Revolution paid eighty per cent of their incomes to the Publicans, as do the peasants of Turkey to day. Our tax burden is less than half what our European brother has to bear. Will we refuse to provide for our children when we appro- priate S25, ,000 for militia paradesl Is the education of our children of less importance, than battle ships and fortificationsg
 The figures below show the rel ative value which the great world powers place upon physical pro- lection and education:
 France, army and navy expen- ditures for 1905, SlS0,07I,O73; ex- penditures for public education for the same year, $46, ,02I,7 ,7S6.
 Italy, Central Government ar my and navy expenditures, S55,- 130, 454; educational expenditures, $10, ,661 ,231.
 Great Britian, army and navy expenditures, S321,164, $40; educa- tional expenditures, $S6, ,0S3, 435.
 Austro- Hungary, army and ma. " expenditures, S91, ,655, ,540; edu- cational expenditures, S26, ,34S.. 0S3.
 Stated in another form France expends four times as much on her army as on education, Italy Central Government five times as much. In Germany forty-four per cent of the imperial revenues
