PUBLIC SCHOOL PROGRESS.

The public school statistics for the year ending June 30, 1910, which are now being compiled by State Superintendent Cook, show the av- craze length of school term for the year to be 106.5 days for the entire state, with an average daily attend- ance of 255,135. The year before the length of term was 9s2 days, with the daily attendance 24S,232. The increase of actual schooling for the year, over that of the year before is equal to giving to 2,60S children the full common school course of seven years with nine months school each year. Or, the net gain is equal to the common school education of 4,4oS children, based on the present length of school term in Arkansas.

made speeches there and asked them to pass the act and then make the required changes under the author ity given by the amendment itself.
 If any court holds this amend ment is not valid as it stands, then the governor will lead the petition to the legislature to make the desired changes, but I do not think it will require a petition.
 When I was asked to come to Arkansas I did not know there was any real opposition other than the apathy of the voters. This is the worst opponent, for a vote not cast is one against want you all to study your ballot after you get to the poll, and then vote for No. 10 straight

One of the Hot Springs papers asked if the Gazette would treat the speeches of MT. Bryan and the gov ernor as fairly while on their state tour as it would if they were on the other side of the question, and the Gazette answered the question by printing in full the speech of MT. Bryan at Fort Smith Tuesday. While many state papers often disagree with the Gazette on public matters, they will have to admit that the old lady is generally on the square when it comes to business.

IS the same here as it has been ad- vanced everywhere. It means dis trust in the intelligence of the peo- pie. What do you think of man who says the people have sense enough to elect but not to represent themselves? This is what these men are doing. Is this not a reflection on the men whom we send to the legislature and who do not there all ways carry out the dictates or the wishes of the people they are sent there to represent. But to go fur ther than that the constitution of the state casts reflection on them or
 it would not require roll call. Why is the roll call required? Simply to keep a check on the representa- tives of the people. I have seen men vote one way. on question:, and then when there was a roll call where they would be placed on re- cord, flop to the other side real quick. When a measure is up to fix something, the members try to make it so there will be no roll call. The Initiative and Referendum will make the legislators act in the open and if they are wrong, will punish them.
 The representatives of the people cannot be as good as the people. There is more virtue in the people than any one man. Take the re- cent exposures of what men in pow CT have done, in Pittsburg and in the New York legislature.
 The intelligence of the people now is such they don't have to elect people to act for them and to tie their hands. I believe at the back of this opposition to the Initiative and Referendum you will find mistrust of the people themselves. I don't mistrust the people of Arkansas. I would trust them anywhere. I have been three times the Democratic nominee for the presidency and each time the people of Arkansas have shown their wisdom and their in- telligence in picking the man to trust.
 Oklahoma has this law. Missouri has it. If Arkansas comes in now it will be the seventh state. If it waits two years it will be way down the line. Are the people in Mis- souri and Oklahoma more to be trusted than the people of Arkansas :? Are they more capable of speaking for themselves? Taft went to Okla homa and spoke against this same amendment and the people voted 100000 majority for it. The people of Oklahoma are not afraid to run their government, so why should those of Arkansas? The fight i'll Oklahoma was the same but I

WEIGH GAR ATTRACTS

That Los Angeles is the ideal auto
mobile center of the country is amply
demonstrated in the number of high
class cars noted on the streets of the
city and along the country highways
every day, and one of the cars that is
attracting much attention is the model
1910 We1ch car, being handled through
the agency of Blinn & Kinehan, from
their Flower street garage.
Wherever the Welch car stops it is
soon the center of attraction because
of its splendid appearance, showing
class, style and quality in every way.
The Welch car is destined to occupy a
prominent position in the motoring
fields of California in the near future.
At the automobile show at the Grand
Avenue rink, February to 13, model
1910 seven-passenger Welch car will
occupy very important position
among the exhibits of high-clas auto
mobiles.

University of Chicago Coach Has Sug-

Football

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-Before Coach A.
A. Stagg of the University of Chicago
left for New York today to attend the
meeting of the national football rules
committee he announced that he had
heard from football officials of many
states, all of whom want rules that
will lessen the liability of players to
serious accidents and death.
Stages suggestion at the New York
session will be regarding the forward
pass. He will seek to have the rules
changed in such a way as to make the
pass more popular.
1.-THE real reason the forward pass
seems to have increased the injuries
is that it has been tampered with too
nuch.' he said. 1.-THE rules for the
last two years necessitated playing the
men in such a way as to leave the
tackles unprotected and thus invite
mass play, the real cause of injuries"

CLAIM HIGHWAYMAN is
OF PROMINENT FAMILY
Philadelphia Police Believe Captured
Thug to Be Matthew Kelly of
New York

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Held upon
his home at No. 1911 West Lehlgh
avenue last night by an armed man,
who threatened to kill him if he did
not give him $500, Henry Reutschlin,
president of the Textile National
bank, this morning gave thrilling ac-
count of the attempted robbery in
Central police station, when his assail-
ant, Stephen Brown, was arraigned for
a hearing.
Magistrate Scott held the prisoner
in $2500 bail for court. The police are
of the opinion that his real name is
not Brown but Matthew S. Kelly, a
member of one of the most prominent
New York families, whose brother is
said to be a member of one of the
largest firms in that city.
Mr.. Reutschlin testified that he and
his daughter Ethel had just returned
from the Huntingdon street station,
where they had gone to meet Mrs.
Mrs. Reutschlin went upstairs to
dress for dinner, and the doorbell
rang Miss Ethel answered. as the
maid was busy in the kitchen. She
opened the door and Brown, pushing
her aside, rushed in with drawn re-
volver. He walked up to Mr.. Reut-
schlin, and said:
"GiVe me $500 or I will kill you!"
The banker rushed at him and the
two grappled. They fought from the
parlors into the diningroom and from
there to the kitchen. Pictures and
bric-a-brac and furniture were scat
tered all over the floors. Ethel, the
daughter, was crouched back in the
corner of the diningroom and her cries
attracted her mother, who appeared
at the top of the stairway, and when
she saw the man with the revolver she
screamed, "Murder!"
1t was this cry Policeman Eek of
the Park and Lehigh avenues station
heard. He broke into the house and
had to club Brown into submission
Most of the furnishings in the three
rooms appeared as if a cyclone had
gone through them, and bits Of wall
paper and pieces of carpet had been
torn off.
Policeman Eek said he had heard
screams of murder and had found
Brown in the house. He took the man
to the station, where he said he had
come to Philadelphia as a strike
breaker for the Transit company and
that he had been discharged. This was
later denied by the company. He
said he needed the money and that he
was hungry and was afraid he would
have to St--y out all night IN the colu.
Mr.. Reutschin said that if he had
asked for few dollars he would have
gladly helped him out, as he has other
needy ones He did not know Brown
and never remembered having seen him
before.
1t is said that the police have re-
liable information that Brown is
Matthew S. Kelly of New York, and
not Of No. 66S North Eighth street,
which address he gave the police.
