Little Rock, Aug. 2S.-Dr. A. c. Jor- dan. mayor of Pine Bluff, was in Little Rock yesterday conferring with Fred A. Isgrig, regarding the plans for the campaign in behalf of Amend ment No. 15, the bond issue amend ment, to be voted on in the state elec- tion September 9. Dr. Jordan says that the people in Pine Bluff are much interested in the adoption of the amendment, and that the measure will carry Jefferson county.
 Mayor Taylor spent yesterday in Fort Smith in the interest of the amendment, and probably will go to Texarkana today. The supply of lit- erature regarding the amendments is now being turned out by the print CTS in sufficient quantities to keep all hands busy in the mailing, but Sec retary Isgrig stated yesterday that 1t will require only three or four days more to complete the distribution Of pamphlet to every voter in Arkan- sas.

centage would be relatively high in those sections, where the negro pop ulation is small as com pared with the total population and would be higher in the North than in the South. In general the results are in agreemen with this presumption. In New Eng land and in the East, North, Central and Pacific divisions about one-third of the negro population were report ed as mulattoes, while in each of the three Southern divisions the propor- ton is only about one-fifth. In the Middle Atlantic division for some reason the percentage is not higher than it is in the Southern divisions. This may possibly be due to the rapid growth in negro population ill that division through immigration from the South.

Not In Favor of q Return of the Car. pet Bag Rule. Says Governor.

Walnut Ridge, Aug2S.-sArkan- sas is not ready yet to permit Gen. Clayton or his henchment to rewrite our election laWs,'' declared Con- gressman Robinson in a speech here this afternoon.
 This statement was made in the course ot asn attack made on Pro- rosed Act No. 3, initiated by the Re- publicans, proposing certain amend ments to the election law
 The Democratic party mas enacted election laws which, in the main, are Fair.' said he. Representatives of the Republican party are hypoeritical when they pretend to favor fair elec- tions. They have deliberately com mitted frauds in state and national elections throughout the history of the Republican party.
 'In 1871 the Republican party the means of more corruption and op- pression during the few years it was :n force than has occurred under Democratic administration since Ar kansas was admitted to the Union.
 Under the Republican election law the county assessor prepared the reg istration list and admitted such per- sons as found qualified, denying leg islation to all eX-Confederates. The governor was empowered to set aside any registration which he regarded as fraudulent and to ordser new one. -=.-s-.-ss.=

ARKANSAS BLACKS
 NUMBER 442,891
Total Negro Population for COntinen. tai United States 9,S27,763, Gen.
 sus Report Shows.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Arkansas had 442,S91 negroes, of which num- Der S1,371 were mulattooes, in 1910, according to preliminary statement issued today by Director Durand of the Census Bureau. The total number of negroes in the state in 1890, 309,- IF, af which number 39,630 were mu- lattoes. In 1870 the total negro popu- lation was 122,169. Of this number, 12,33S were mulattoes. The percent age of mulattoes is given as follows: in 1910 1894 per cent; in 1890, 12.s per cent; in 1870. 10.1 per cent.
 The term "mulattos' as used in the census of 1910 inclules all person not fullblooded negroes, who have some proportion of preceptible trace of negro blood. The Bureau of the Census does not regard the returns as being beyond question since the classification of negroes as full-bloods or mulattoes was necessarily to a con- siderabl degree dependent upon the personal opinion and conscientious ness of the enumerators. The results, however, are believed to approximate the facts for the country as a whole and for large aggregates.
 Figures for Whole Country.
 In 1910 there were in continental United States as whole, 9,S27,T63 ne groes. of whom 2,050,6S6, or 20.9 per cent were reported as mulattoes. In 1909 there were 1,132.060 mulattoes reported, of 15.2 per cent of all the negroes, and in 1870 total of 5S4, ,049, or 12 per cent Thus the figures taken at their face value show that about one-fifth of all the negroes in 1910 had some mixture of white blood as against about one-eighth in lS10 It may be noted, however, that an ln- crease in the mulayto element does not necessarily imply increasing in termixture with the whites, since the children born of marriages between blacks and mulattoes would be mu- lattoes according to the census defl- nition.
 The percentage of mulattoes report ed varies widely in different states and different sections of the country. [t was to be expected that the per-

Hudlin, a ne- gro, and his family this city is spend ing $15 day or $45O month to guard his home from possible attacks by whites who resent what they term a negro invasion in their residen- tial district.

81 notice that President Taft
also has the mob idea" In his
speech last night, he shows his
entire inability to grasp. the
meaning of the progressive
movement, when he assumes that
progressivism is synonymous
with revolution, and that sim
cere friends of popular govern
ment are ''neurotics and emotion
alists." The reason President
Taft cannot understand this mat
ter was disclosed in his utterance
to the New York Bar association,
where he announced his belief
that the people are not fitted for
self government"
Evidently all the thinking men
know that present conditions
must change. Gary and the mil
lionaires are scared to death.
Wiley, the socialogist, sees the
only hope for the future, and the
end of cheating and fraud. Nor
ris, the Progressive Republican,
sees the triumph of the Progress
sives at the polls.
The only depressing thing
about the discussion so far is that
the president of the United States
seems to think as do the Garys.

PAIAMA CLAD CAMEL ON
PAROLE IN PARADE re-


camel, clothed in pink pajamas,
walked through the streets here
today at the head of a Shriners'
parade.
The camel was on parole from
Judge Montgomery's court, and
on each side of it marched squad
of police. The police were detail
ed to keep the camel moving as
ordered by the court.
The owner of the camel was
arrested few weeks ago for ex-
posing the poor beast to a tenn
perature of Is degrees below
zero. Judge Montgomery order
ed that the camel be kept indoors
until March l.
Then came the Shriners' par
ade. The Shriners wanted the
camel. They went to Judge
Montgomery and pleaded with
him to let the, camel out on parole
-"just this once"
At first Judge Montgomery
was firm. Never would it be said
that a camel had been allowed to
catch cold in Minneapolis. But
at last he was moved by the pitt
full pleading of the Shriners., But
he made two conditions-the
camel must wear pajamas while
exposed to the cold air of the
city, and it must be kept moving.

which Minneapolis was treated

Just as Hilda Evans and Charles w

to enter the home Of a minister in

through the marriage ceremony a
cold hearted policeman of the old

However, their plans were in the class
of those of all mice and men. and went
