LABOR BODY ENDORSES
THIRTEENTH AMENDMENT

AT recent meeting Of the executive
board OF the Arkansas State Federation
of Labor. the following resolution was
adopted
Whereas. the organized workers of
the United States, connected with the
American Federation of Labor, have
always worked for the upbuilding and
advancement of our Public Schools,
and
Whereas, the Arkansas State Feder-
alton Of Labor honestly believes that
only through proper education may
we hope to raise our State from the
position in which it is now placed, and
Whereas, we realize that sufficient
revenue is not now available, from the
present sources of revenue, to main
tain our public schools, and while we
believe the only permanent relief will
come from revision of our present
tax laws to the end that all property
in the state shall bear its just burden
of taxation with a sufficient revenue
to adequately support our public
schools, we also realize this cannot be
accomplished in time to give the much
needed relief, therefore be 1t
Resolved, by the Executive Board
Of the Arkansas State Federation of
Labor, in meeting assembled, this the
2lst day of August, 1926, that we I'M
animously endorse Amendment No. ID.
and call upon our membership to rem
der every available assistance possible
to the various educational agencies in
the State to the end that this Amend
ment may be adopted.

WHY THROW WRENCH IN
WHEELS OF PROGRESS?

In the Walnut Ridge Times Dispatch
and the Walnut Ridge Blade last week
there appeared an article signed sc.
Bush, Alicia, Arkansas" and headed,
"Why Throw A Wrench Into the
Wheels of Progress" The article, in
referring to petition signed by a
number of Pocahontas citizens pray
ing that the Arkansas Legislature bar
the teaching Of the Darwinian Theory
of Evolution in state supported schools,
said:
"While reading the petition publish
ed in several of the papers last week,
requesting the Forty-Sixth General AS
sembly of the State of Arkansas to en-
act law TO bar the teaching of EvO-
luton in the unsupported schools of
the state. | was reminded of the eX-
preston of L. G. CharleswOrth, in
light verse:
"Oh, the rising generation
"Has lost its generation
''For the fables and fancies of old.
"In the study Of Geology
"And the science of Biology
'Their hearts and heads l fear are
growing cold.
"Since this dreadful (EvolutiOn)
"Has caused their revolution
"And Geology has given us such shocks,
"We1l have our legislature
Repeal the Law of Nature
"And pass a law abolishing the rocks.
"Any citizen or number of citizens
of the state have a right to petition
the members of the legislature of this
state requesting the passage Of any
measure. but do not believe that the
gentlemen in Randolph county who
are requesting a law similar to the
one I'm Tennessee AN Authorization
Law are unduly alarmed about the
dangers confronting the boys and girls
IN our public schools and the High
schools and our young men and wo-
men in our colleges and the Uniyer-
sitv. because they fear that Evolution
as a theory or a fact will be taught
IN those schools. There is no pressing
demand for such a law. There Is no
real need for such law, unless we
want a closer view of the effects or
the Tennessee Law upon the schools
and colleges of that state. Unless we
want re-enactment before our very
eves another Scopes Trial" with its

HIGH FOOTBALL TEAM
DEFEATS ALL STARS

The POca Hi 1926 football team APP
peared in action the first time last
Friday when it engaged in a practise
game with the "All Stars" a group
of boys and men of the town past high
school age.
In spite of the intense heat the game
was snappy and well played. The Hi
team received the opening kickoff and
the ball was downed on the two yard
line. Failing to gain, Richardson
punted, the ball going to the All Stars
on their 30-yard line. The first quar-
ter was played with the Hi team back
ed against the Stars goal line, fighting
desperately.
The other three quarters were play
ed nearer midfield, slowed down some
what by the heat. The schools lone
touchdown came when Leon Brown
slipped around left end, cut to the
right and lodged through the All Stars
for a fifty yard run to his goal Cloyd
Spikes drop kicked for the extra point.
The Hi team this year, though hav-
ing lost four or five good men by grad
uatiOn, looks almost as good as the
1925 team, which went through the
season without being scored on by a
high school team.
Coach Edwards is working hard on
the new material for his team and Is
confident that he can produce another
winning combination.
