State, the provisions for public schools at that time seemed liber- al, and, indeed, they were liberal.
 We are now on the highway of great prosperity. Our rich materi- al resources are in great part yet untouched. The time has come when better and more liberal pro- vision should be made for the edu- cation of our youth.
 The greatest resource of Arkan- sas is to be found in the brains of her boys and girls; every energy of the State should be utilized to provide for the proper training and development of these youths The dominant party has declared itself in favor of increased taxa ton for school purposes. When this Is done, when we provide bet ter teachers for the schools and better schools for the children then, indeed, will we take ou1 proper place in the galaxy of the great American States.
 The legislature passed the reso- lution submitting this amendment to the people; the governor sign ed the resolution. It now remains for the people to say whether or not they want better schools for their children.
 Concluded next week.

NOTES FROM OKLAHOfiA.

To The Newark Journal:
 My family arrived here the 20th of February and are as we'll satis- fled as could be expected, but they do not enjoy the wind It blows from the southwest most of the time, but we have been having great deal from the north and northeast, which has been pretty cool. We had a light frost here on the 9th of May, but it did no damage.
 l did not come with my family, but went on with my mission work until the 20th of April when I came. But 1 will remain only short time and expect to go back to northwest Arkansas and continue the mission work. Farm ing operations here are we'll un- der way.
 One hand with sufficient team and tools can plow from 40 to 50 acres. There is a splendid pros pect for fruit here. We live on the prairie and can see two towns, Gushing miles away and Avery, eight miles away. We see Indians almost every day, but most of them are mixed bloods, there are not many full bloods here. The prairie land Is not as good as the creek or branch bottom land. Cot ton and small grain does we'll on the prairie, but the bottom land is better for corn. Cotton Is seldom hoed but once. Some plant their cotton on ridges while others break their land, harrow and plant 1t level. They usually plant with two-row planters and can plant from 15 to 20 acres day. There IS lots of cattle raised here and as we have stock law noth- ing Is on the commons. But the pastures are fenced with two and three wires which hold them all right. Cows sell from $20 to S25.
 We are in the Sack and Fox country. Much of the land is al- lotted to the Indians and 1t cannot be bought, although some will be on the market this year, am told. But few of the Indians work. They lease out their lands and gad around in their double rigs.
 Relgiously, we have all the de- nominations represented. Cush- ing is town of about 1900 and has splendid school building and five nice church buildings. Land sells for from twelve to twenty dollars per acre. Most of the houses are small, especially on the farms-from one to three rooms is the usual size.
 l will close. May write more after l get to attend an Indian festival. J. l. MARTIN.

Sch00lS. h AfkansaS We afe spen ding only S5.6S. The country at large is spending for every child of school age in the United States, S10 51; in Arkansas S3. 73. Our towns and cities are doing fairly we'll under great difficulties. Nearly every town and city in the state has been forced to borrow money to build and equip school houses and to keep the schools open to the children. The rooms are crowded, the teachers are oy- erworked and underpaid, despite the fact that only 50 per cent of our children attend school regu. larly. At least four 6fths of the people are in the country. The schools for the country children should be made more efficient and this cannot be done without an in- crease in our school revenues. The great business enterprises, the timber lands, the zinc fields, the coal mines and all other az gregations of wealth should aid in the upbuilding of our schools. Their own protection demands this. All the wealth of the state should be taxed to educate all tue children of the state. It Is true that the centers of the wealth pay more than the poorer districts and that the poorer districts de rive greater benefit in proportion to what they pay. This is right. They should pay according to their ability. All of us should unite to build good roads and pub lie highways, yet we must not close our eyes to the fact that all over the state the people are con tinuously moving into the towns and cities not because of the bad roads but because of the poor schools.
 This is critical time in the history of the state. No more im- portant question has been submit ted to the people in thirty years. The tariff, free silver, gold stan- dard, expansion and imperialism and a hundred other questions discussed on the hustings are as trifles compared with the educa- ton of our children and our neigh bor's children. It makes differ ence whether or not every locality has a good school, in a comfort able and healthy school house, un- der competent and capable teach CT and for a sufficient number of days. 1t makes difference whether or not our neighbor S children have good school. One bad man can burn more houses than a hundred honest carpentens can build. One vicious character can blight more happiness than a hundred good men can make.
 This Is the first opportunity the people have had for thirty years to express themselves on this question; they may not have anoth. CT chance in the next thirty. When the present constitution was adopt ed, we were just beginning to re. cover from the rayages and deso- lation of four years of civil war, and a period of so-called recon struction, which was even more disastrous than the war itself. Considering the condition of the

PROPOSED SCHOOL AMENDMENT
Abstract of an Address by State Superintendent fiinemon on
 Amendment No. s.

address of Hon. J. II. Hinemon, state superintendent of public in- struetion, on the McFerrin amend ment which will be submitted to the people for approval at the coming September election. Ev- cry voter should read it.
 Education and prosperity are absolutely inseperable. No igno- rant people were ever prosperous. Education creates ideals, arouses ambition, stimulates effort and inn pels man to labor to gratify his ambitions and aspirations. Dis covery and invention follow in the wake of education. Germany dates her new birth from the es- tablishment of system of univer- sal education. Japan has offered the latest proof of the immediate and uplifting effect of popular ed- ncation. During the last ten years every time Russia has spent one dollar on her elementary schools she has spent twenty dollars on her army and navy. During the same time Japan has spent only four times as much on her army and navy as she spent on her elemen- tary schools. Russia spent many millions of dollars and engaged tn e finest engineers the world could furnish to make Port Arthur absolutely impregnable. No finer fleet has sailed the seas since the days of the Spanish Armanda than Admiral Rojestyensky took to the Straits of the Sea of Japan. On land and sea alike Russia knew only a succession of defeats and Japan a succession of victories. The world has again learned that victories do not depend upon Notifications and battIeships, but upon the men be- hind the guns. The superiority of the Japanese cannot be credited to anything but general intelligence and character of the masses the rank and file-of her soldiery.
 Strike down all that intelligence has done to benefit and bless hu- manity. and pail of gloom would oyershadow our whole country. Destroy all that education has done through invention and discovery. and we stop the wheels of industry
 Labor should be made to think as we'll as to work. It should be made to think, first, for political purposes 1t may vern wisely, intelligently and well. It should be made to think, next, for Industrial purposes h al h e thinking brain may give guidance, direction and help to the working hand. There is no difference be- tween the man who thinks and the man who works, but there is q diff ference between the man W h c works without thinking and the man who thinks while he works. Labor should be made to think as Mccormick thought when he in- vented the modern method of har- vesting wheat. The telegraph, the steam engine, the cotton gin, the telephone and other inventions are the results of thinking. There was a time when muscle ruled the world. but that time has passed. Thought, in the brain of labor, Is the alchemy of industry. The day of muscle has passed; the day oi brain has come. The survival ot the tittest IS no longer dogma oi science; it is fact of life.
 The masses of the people will do what is right. They may be

REVIEWS MARKET LETTER.
Furnished by Clay Robinson Co. the
Well Knowing Omaha Commits
sion Firm.

South Omaha, Jan. 8, 1906.
Supplies of cattle have been moder-
ate here the past week. Closing
prices last Friday were right at a
quarter higher for the week on beef
steers with any degree of desirability.
Nothing we'll finished has been offered
for sometime, the rest coming selling
around SIS. 25 to $3.50, with the fair to
good grades at S4.75 to $500, and the
common and short feed classes at 81. 90
to $3.50, according to flesh and quail
ity. The butcher stock market also
showed considerable improvement dur
ing last week. Supplies were pretty
fair of these classes and some pretty
good quality stuff was received. Good
to choice heifers sold at So. IS to $500;
good choice cows and heifers So. IS to
$3.65; fair to good $500 to So. 35; can
ners $500 to 1925; cutters 1925 to
$3.50. The stockers and feeders in
quiry has been only fair the past
week, but the supply has also been of
meager proportion. Prices as rule
have held just about steady for any
thing useful. The heavy weight de-
horned steers get the most attention
at this time, and the good to choice
kind are selling at So. rs to $500; fair
to good $3.50 to 1878; good to choice
light and medium weight feeders
3d. SO to So. Is; fair to good $3.35 to
$3.5 SO. There are but few yearlings
and calves coming at this time, the
demand is also very slack and in a
consequence trading is of very small
proportions. Z.
The hog market has been fuctuat-
ing considerably of late, although
prices at this time are as high as fol-
sometime past. The heavy weights
brings the best prices now, and the
bulk of all hogs sold today at SIS. La
to $5.22a with top at $3.50. There
seems to be a good healthy undertone
to the trade, however, and there is
very good reason to believe prices will
firm up to some extent.
