“FOR UOD’S SAKE
DO SOMETHINO!”
We have answered this cry in
our new book, “Fighting the Traf
fic in Young Girls,” by Ernest A.
Bell, U. S. District Attorney Sims
and others. The most sensational
indictment of the white slave trade
ever published. It tells how thou
sands of young girls are lured
from their homes annually and
sold into a life of shame. The Cin
cinnati Inquirer says, “Of all the
books of the season the War on the
White Slave Trade is the most
helpful; it should be read by every
man, woman and child.” Agents
are making from $8 to $17 a day
selling this book. Over 500 pages.
Many pictures. Price $1.50. Best
terms to agents. Outfit free. Send
15c for forwarding charges. Book
sent to any address postpaid upon
receipt of price. Address, dames

LET THE PEOPLE RULE
Thats What They Can do Under
the Initiative and Referendum
Senator Robt. L. Owen of Ok
lahoma has put this pertinent ques
tion to the country: “If the peo
ple rule, why don’t they get what
they want?”
His answer is, “Machine poli
tics. ”
What does he propose to do
about it* Three things. He says
we must have the direct primary,
publicity of campaign funds and
the Initiative and Referendum.
In the dune number of the
Twentieth Century Magazine he
writes: “Plutocracy is the rule of
the rich: aristocracy is the rule of
the few: democracy is the rule of
the people. The Initiative and
Referendum is the essence of a
pure democracy—the rule of the
people. Under the Initiative and
Referendum the legislature tries
to meet the will of the people, but
where it fails to pass the laws the
people want, the people pass their
own laws through the Initiative.
If their representatives in the legis
lature pass a law the people do
not want, the people veto it
through the vise of the Referendum.
“When the Initiative and Ref
erendum shall have been estab
lished, it will be the open door to
the passage of any law the people
have the patriotism and intelli
gence to devise. The sword of
the state will no longer be in the
hands of the arrogant, despotic
commercialism that is now shak
ing the foundations of this coun
try and has recently been making
a spectacle of itself in Phila
delphia.”
The voters of Arkansas have the
direct primary and they can get
the Initiative and Referendum by
passing Amendment No. 10 next
September. No power on earth
but the votes of the people can
change the Constitution. The
legislature has done all it could
for you by submitting the amend
ment for your decision.
Mr. Sovereign Voter, it is now
up to you.
You have been doing a good
deal of kicking about what the
legislatures have done and have
not done, and you have said that,
on some questions at least, the
people could have done a heap
sight better themselves — havn’t
you?
Well, you now have a chance to
fix your State Constitution so that
you can do a little legislating on
your own account in the future,
and incidentally let the legislature
find out that you know a good
thing when you see it.
What Amendment No. 10 needs
is not grumbling, nor even good
wishes, but VOTES.

SOME SCHOOL PROBLEMS
The (jreat Need of Better Country
Schools in Arkansas
The only real objections to the
.consolidation of small rural schools
into larger ones and the transpor
tation of the children in wagons,
to them, are that it removes an
ancient landmark, and is a decided
innovation. These are unfortunat
ely objections of great weight with
a considerable class of patrons of
rural schools who choose to live,
move and die as their ancestors
did. But things of the past are
not good enough for the people of
today, and along with such things
as rural free delivery of mails, tele
phones and good roads, the free
transportation of children to good
public schools is likely in the near
future to play an important part
in the betterment of life on the
farm. '
The great number of rural
school district, keeps the amount
of money available for school pur
poses in each district at so low a
level that it is difficult to procure
efficient teachers. The low rate of
wages prevents the employment of
teachers. The low rate of teachers
who have had a normal or even a
high school education. Many of
them have had only a limited edu
cation given by the school in which
they teach,and many rural schools
have too few pupils to stimulate
the teacher to do his best work, or
provide competition for the pupils
either in the class room or on play
ground. This is most discouraging
both to the teacher and the pupils.
Arkansas has over Hve hundred
schools with an enrollment of ten.
These two faults of many rural
schools can be largely overcome by
consolidating small school districts
into larger ones, and transporting
the children who live too far to
walk.
The funds from several districts
go to a single district, general ex
penses are cut down, and better
| teachers employed. At the same
the number of children in attend
ance increases, for the pupils find
the school more interesting.
If we are to improve our agri
culture and compete on the best
terras with our rival in the world's
markets, if we are to make the
markets, if we are to make the
conditions of country life attrac
tive enough to keep bright boys
and girls on the farm, we must
give immediate attention to the
needs of the rural schools. And
this matter the farmers have in
their own hands. Committe
