STATE CAPITAL NEWS

Little Rock, Dec. Git is now an assured fact that one of the three amendments to be submitted to the constitution at the General Election in 1922 will be that which is being initiated by the educational interests of the state Thousands of petitions are being circulated throughout the state and are being signed by almost everyone to whom they are submitted. From reports received at the Depart ment of Education, it is apparent that there is no general opposition to this movement, it being recognized that the schools of the state must have this additional support if they are to continue to function properly. The crux of the amendment as proposed is found in the following paragraph.
 "A majority of the electors in any school district voting at the annual school election may vote such amount of tax as they deem necessary to pro- vide suitably for the building and maintenance of schools in the district, provided that the General Assembly may authorize the Quorum Court of any county to reduce any accessive rate of district tax voted"
 This provision is deemed an ade- quate safeguard against the levying by popular vote of any accessive ,or unreasonable tax. It is not probable however that such an emergency should arise. All arguments appear to be in favor of the provision which will permit the taxpayers of any com munity who are more familiar with their own needs than any one else, to vote such amount as may be neces- sary to conduct their schools.

AMERICANISM.
By Theodore Roosevelt.

These times that call for ringing declaration
of our Americanism.
Since: we became nation of free men, haven
for the oppressed of other lands shrine for the
worship Of Liberty and Justice.a millions have come
to our welcome shores Today they part Of our
flesh and blood-Americans all-no less loyal be-
cause of alien birth.
Yet admidst these multtudes are few whose
ideas are hostile to They reject the nations
ideals; abuse its hospitality
They flout government and defy our courts
They use violence, sabotage. and other nefarious
means to undermine respect for law and order.
There has been growing tendency to impose the
will of few on the many-to discredit our democ-
racy. Obedience and respect for the peoples will
is the keynote of this naton otherwise per-
ish. Ours is land of free speech free opportunity
and the free ballot Here each mans opinion, ex-
pressed at the polls, counts as much as that OF
another, be he high in rank or great in
power.
This is Americanism-a privilege and heritage pre-
cious and inalienable. And every man who cher
ishes this ideal of democracy should do his utmos
to extirpate un-Americanism wherever found.
This is land Of Law and Liberty-not license
reason, not rebellion right, not riot the ballot

Americanism flourish

THE WAY TO GROW.

Most people want to grow. They would like to
advance in their work. earn more. have greater in
fluence, do bigger things Yet strange to say, the
world is full of people who do not grow up"
They have lost the secret Of their youthful days.
They come to half in self development. and folks
say they are getting old"
This is the opening paragraph of article by j.
Ogden Armour in The Armour Magazine which is
well worth reading. The article continues:
But a person is never old until he quits growing
and he need not quit growing until the end Of his
years The most conspicuous fact about great men
men who do big things and keep doing them
is that they never cease growing. They are per-
petually young.

Yet. almost every one you meet has something
important to teach you tell you, or show you, if
you know how to ask intelligent questions. and if
you are genuinely interested in learning Some will
