FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 1910.
ARE WAKING UP
The Journal's editorial last week
on the relative importance of the
two amendments to be voted on in
the September election has aroused
an interest in Amendment No. 11,
and the newspapers of the state
are taking up the fight for its
adoption. Discussing the matter
the Arkansas Gazette says:
“Two constitutional amend
ments are to be submitted to the
people at the September election.
One provides for the initiative and
referendum. Thousands of people
are talking about that and so are
the newspapers. Thera is an or
ganized campaign for the adoption
of this measure. The other pro
posed amendment to the constitu
tion provides that new plants es
tablished in Arkansas during
the next ten years for
the manufacture of cotton shall be
externpted from taxation for seven
years. Who ever says anything
about this amendment, which
might make Arkansas a great cot
ton manufacturing state? What ef
fort is being made to have it
adopted ?
“Matters of such vital import
ance as better farming and greater
industrial development are passed
by in public discussion for the
more spectacular things of poli
tics.”

HALLEY’S COMET
[by j. l. brown)
Thou Pilgrim on the field of space,
We look with pleasure on thy face:
Thou trembling, traveling star,
So long you’ve been upon your flight,
Amid the hidden worlds of night,
So deep—So dark—So far!
Your visits have been oft, we’re told,
Amid the ages, past and old,
You come—You shine—You go
No one can tell or time your birth.
Or count your visit to this earth,
No record stands to show
While viewing thee this clear, calm,
night
The wings of fancy take their flight,
Along the trackless way,
Into the ether plains of space,
Where planets doth each other chase.
Throughout the ceaseless day.
The lips of ages long since dead.
Seem waking from their silent l>ed,
To speak and tell their tale;
And from distant parts of earth,
Nations arise with hidden birth,
That saw the on thy trail.
Before the wise men of the East,
Were born to let their vision feast,
Upon that mystic star,
That shed its silver light through
space,
To tell them of the King of Grace,
Ere that, you had been there.
Before old Rome did rise or fall,
Or aged China build her wall,
Of strength around her land;
Before these nations had their birth.
You made your visit to this earth,
Among the stars to stand.
But few there be upon this shore.
That’s lived to see the once before,
And few that live today,
Will live and on the earth remain,
To greet you when you come again.
As near the earth you stray.
Some the theory now maintain.
That you may never come again
As you have come before;
That your race is almost run,
That you'll be swallowed by the sun,
And perish for evermore.
So many things we’ve heard of thee,
Of where you are and what you l>e,
That we can only guess.
Whether you will oft return
Or in the sun fall down and burn,
Or which of these is best.
The hand that formed thy firey frame.
Has held and guided well the same,
These times, long ages through.
In all thy sweep through distant fields,
Thy form from him is not concealed,
In azures deepest blue.
Why should we fear thy coming
sweep.
Thou traveler through the mystic
deep,
In God’s own power we stand.
We stand with him as children dear,
The objects of his love and care,
And you are in his hand.
So standing here this calm, clear
night
We watch your trembling distant
light.
That in yon high heaven burns;
Like you, our lives may pass away,
To gleam within some distant day,
And then again return.
