STATE CAPITOL LETTER.
O o o . o o o o .
(By Clio HarperD

| W! NlIO hdIptIl
LITTLE ROCK, Aug. 23.-The war
and the raising of the National Army
and the H. c. l.. problem cannot Who'll
ly obscure the political situation in
Arkansas Like the poor We have 1t
with US always
Judge l.. C. Smith of Dewitt says
that he is going TO run against Gov
ernor Brough for a second term, but
Governor Brough's friends declare
they are not particularly alarmed;
that they are willing TO stand upon the
constructive record that has been
made by the present administration.
Judge Smiths advisers think other
wise, however, and il is a difference
of opinion that produces political con-
troversies and struggles.
For the first time in several years,
there promises to be a lively tilt for
the office of State Treasurer, from
which the incumbent, H. G. Mcdaniel,
will retire after two terms of service,
Ernest Upton, deputy, and son of a
former state treasurer, and J. W.
Crockett, a former state treasurer
both of whom are now in the office,
Uncle" Joe Ferguson, clerk of the
Board of Control and w. NJ Shaver
a former legislator from Jackson
county, are among those who are talk
ing about running, and there are prob
ably others.
There may be a few other contests
for state offices, but they will not be
numerous, as most of the important
officers are serving only their first
term, and the candidates for the 9th
ers have not developed yet.
But the big fight may or may not be
for United States senator 1t all de-
pends. Senator Joe T. Robinson is a
candidate for second term, and has
been back home several times within
the last few months looking after his
political fences. The one thing that
is certain is that Senator Robinson
will be a candidate for reelection.
Beyond that all is speculation. Smeade
Powell of Camden, recognized as one
of the best campaigners in the state,
has been saying for some months that
he would be in the race, and so far as
known he has not said that he would
not be a candidate. And yet it is just
possible that he will not. Politics Is
pretty much Of gamble, and some
times a most expensive one, especially
when the gambler loses. And to run
against a man for a second term is
always a handicap These facts may
or may not influence Mr.. Powell
whose friends say that he has plenty
of time yet to decide. Should he en-
ter the contest, as he has said he will
the old dry bones Of politics will agair
assume all the evidences of vigorous
life.

ardize the public schools than any.
thing else done in many years and
there has been some most important
school legislation during the last ten
years.
The advantages OF a uniform series
OF text books, interchangeable among
the districts Of the state, and not sub
ject to change at the whim Of school
boards, have been so thoroughly dis
cussed that they are understood The
system adopted by the Commission
after weeks Of examination anc con
sideration, seems TO have met with
general approval, as no opposition has
been heard to the books chosen No
change will be made for six years, and
in counties where uniformity had pre-
viOusly been adopted, the text books
now in use will be used until the con-
tract expires, when the state ADOPTION
will obtain.
Probably even more important is
the compulsory attendance law which
becomes effective September /, ap-
plicable to all counties in the state
1t had been a law in some counties
for several years, but the last legis-
lature made ii a general law 1t will
require every child between seven and
fifteen years of age, both inclusive, to
attend some public, private, or paro-
chial school at least three-fOurths of
the sessions annually in which the
child resides, They must enter school
not later than two weeks after che
opening of the school term.
1t is believed that this law will be
the means of greatly increasing the
attendance in the common schools,
and that it will eventually have the
effect of materially reducing the de-
gree of illiteracy in the state COmpul-
sorry attendance prevails in nearly all
the states, Arkansas being among the
last to adopt it.
Directly in line with these reforms
is another that is still subject TO coun-
ty Option-that of county superintend-
ency. A dozen new counties were ad-
ded to the list by the people at the
May election-and when superintend
ency is adopted, it cannot be repealed,
but if it is defeated at any election, it
can be re-submitted until it carries.
But whenever it has been given an
honest trial, experience shows that the
people have no desire to make any
change, or to return to the old hap
hazard manner of conducting school
affairs. ~
A. B. Hill, for several years princi-
pal of the Little Rock High School,
