they should do, but the instances
are few and the evil is corrected
to a great extent by our laws

five or six months in the year.
In our farming sections, and es-
pecially in the cotton growing
region of the south, the children

We organize public free Schools
and colleges all over our country.
We are taxing ourselves heavily
for the maintenance of these
schools. We are boasting of our
education, and yet we are drift-
ing more and more toward abso-
lute monarchy, where education
of the masses is not needed.
Certainly something shouldlbe
done to relieve the children in
districts where they are over-

lific field for federal office hold-
ers, for spies, for trouble mak-
ers and for courts.
And again; every amendment
to the constitution, giving to the
federal government additional
power to regulate the morals,
the habits and customs of the
people, is a thrust at their in-
telligence and a weakening of
their responsibility. If the gov-
ernment is going to take over
the management and general
control of the people, what is
the use of anyone onidering
himself responsible as a member
of civilized society?
We laim that we have here a
democracy—a republican form
of government—in which respon-
sibility for sane and intelligent
self government is thrown upon
the people. We maintain that
the education of the people is

would find themselves totally un
fit for any of the duties that
would confront them.
This is surely an evil—an evil
that is a disgrace to our civiliza-
tion, and one that should be
done away with. The national
