When, year after year, their
children were told IN the school
history that at the beginning

citizens of the South were Georg-

the school patrons of Little Rock
finally arose in protest and de-
Imanded change in text books.
The fight was led by represen-
tatiyes of the Confederate 0rganl-
cations of the city, who appoint
ed a committee to investigate the
various school histories and Sc
lect one that was free from sec
tional bias. 1t was no easy task.
| Dozens of books were submitted
by publishers all over the coun-
try. And it was surprising how
many of them were claimed to be
written by former Arkansas his
torians. The committee did not
seek prejudiced Southern book
any more than they sought to
avoid partisan Northern text.
They sought book that woul be
fair, impartial, and honest, one
that would state historical facts
as they are, and not as sectional
prejudice desired them to be.
After months of investigation
the committee, in conjunction Will
the School Board, finally agreed
upon two books, Matthew Page

Another matter to which much
attention is being given is the
campaign against the devastat-
ing spread Of hog cholera. 1t has
been estimated that 10000, 900
pounds of pork has been lost IN
Arkansas since Sept. l, 1915, by
hog cholera, that could have
been saved by the proper methods.
That represents a loss of $1,000
900 at present prices. An invest
ment of 100000 for serum,
would have prevented the loss
and would certainly have been
good business. An effort is to be
made to enlist the cooperation of
every farmer in the state to
drive cholera out, just as the
cattle-tick is being overcome by
persistent effort. There are some
stern facts that must be faced If
the state IS to make the proper
progress. The people must cease
to deceive themselves with the
conceit that we are ahead Of ey-
erybody in everything. We have
long journeys to make yet yet
along several important highways
and the sooner we realize It, the
better will it be for us. For in
stance, Arkansas ranks 22d IN
hog production, and our hogs av-
erage only IS pounds, whereas
those of Iowa average 200. That
Arkansas can produce superior
hogs is demonstrated by the ex-
hibits at county fairs and the re-
suits achieved everywhere by
progressive swine growers.

DIR. C. II. Brough writes from
Maine. where he has been de-
livering a series of campaign adj
dresses for the National Demo
cratic ticket that the campaign
which has been conducted IN
that state by number of speak

that there are strong indications

YES OR NO?

United States on August first adj
dressed the following open letter
to Charles f. Hughes, republican
nominee for the presidency:
To the Honorable Charles E.
Hughes:
The professional writers who
sign this letter have small interest
IN parties, but very deep inter
est in democracy. 1t is our hope,
through this voluntary association
to assist in the promotion OF
honest, educational discussion in
order that fundamental issues
may not be decided in prejudice
and ignorance.
Mr.. Wilson S beliefs have
been expressed in law and de-
elared policies. He has made an
open record by which he may be
judged. Wise choice is not pos
sible unless you yourself make
equally specific statement of pur-
poses and convictions.
!" Without intent to offend, we
feel justified in charging that in
no single public utterance have
you filed bona fide bill of par
ticulars, nor have you offered "a
single constructive suggestion.
" Generalities are without val
Ne. Blanket criticism is worth
less. What we desire to know,
what it is fair that the electorate
should know, are the exact de
tails of your disagreement with
President Wilson. What has he
done that you would not have
done, and what has he failed to
do that you would have done or
propose to do Honesty and pat
riotism demand that you put
yourself upon record in such "a
manner as to permit people to
judge you as they are now able
to judge President Wilson For
example
90 Would you have filed
instant protest against the in
vasion of Belgium and backed UP
that protest with the United
States navy?
"(2)Z 1t is arrant nonsense to
talk about action that would have
prevented the Lusitania tragedy
The vague advertisement did not
appear until shortly before the.
hour of sailing. The occurrence
was one of those things that
civilization has made the world
regard as incredible The only
honest question is this: Would
you have made the disaster the
subject of diplomatic negotiations
or would you have broken rela-
tions with Germany at once?
"(3) Would you have urged
upon congress an embargo upon
the shipment of munitions to the
Allies?
80 Would you urge umver-
sal compulsory military service
90 You are frank in stat
: ing that Huerta S morals were OF
no concern to America. Does
this mean that you would have
recognized Huerta2
80 As matters stand today
would you be in favor Of inter
: vening in Mexico?
" O Does your attack upon
the Wilson shipping bill mean
that you are in favor of ship sub
sides?
r (8) You speak enthusiastic
ally of the rights of the worker.
" Does this imply that you indorse
the Clayton antitrust law and the
> seamen's bill? Or will you urge
their repeal?
CO. What are your specific
= reserve law?
1O) As governor of New
; York, you opposed the income
q tax amendment. Does this antag-
onism persist Do you or do you
t not believe in paying for prepar-
edness out of a tax on incomes,
n inheritances and munitions?
