The southern sentinel. (Winnfield, La.) 1883-1910, 1886-02-12
Abolish the Free Schools!

So says Mr.. Kicks IN the Shrere-
port Times, and follows up his de-
mand by a savage thrust at the
powers that be. The essence OF
his whole argument lies l think in
his question 'sWhy should one
man be taxed to send other mems
children to school"
Mr.. Editor this very question
has been asked and settled in thir-
ty-seven States of the Union; last
OF all it shows ITS ugly face IN
Louisiana. Answered 1T must be,
and the sooner we meet it face to
face the better for us it will be.
What right has the State to levy
any tax? In that social compact
we call government, the individu-
al merges his right into society.
He ceases to be a unit and becomes
the part of a whole. Whatever
privileges he may have possessed
as an individual are lost when be
becomes a member of society if
those rights or privileges are in
compatible with the interest of
that society as whole. In q nat
ural state a man has a perfect
right to load himself down with
arms if he chooses; as a member
soclety whose lives are endanger-
ed by these arms, he may be for
hidden to carry weapons. In short
society (or government) has the
right to perform any uct which
may secure the peace, happiness,
or prosperity of the whole. 1t is
upon this principle that taxation
for public education Is bssed.
Recognizing that the safety of
government, the peace OF society
the prosperity of business interests
and the happiness of individuals
depend upon universal education,
every civilized nation on earth
now provides for public schools
supported by taxation. Is virtue
desirable? Is intelligence admlra-
BILE? Is honesty to be cultivated /?
Is morality to be Inculiatcd? Then
let us educate!
ssParsimoy toward education IS
extravaganza toward crlme."
There is a debt due from lndivid-
uals to society; it must be paid,
IN one way if not another. Put 1t
into churches and school-houses if
you will; if you do not it must be
put into jails ana penitentiaries.
One parish in this State has but
FIVE schools, but it has built a Jail
worth $12, ,OO0-and it needs it,
too. That is the way the matter
must be settled-schools or jails-
which will you take?
Admitted that our public schools
are not all they should be; that
their terms are short, that the
teachers are often incompetent,
that the buildings are in many ca
ses mclc huts. What then; shall
we throw away our loaf of bread
because 1t is not cake.
By no means. We would only
slip back fifty years by SO doing.
The public schools are not to be
abolished, but improved. Tax
atom for that purpose is not to
stop, but to increase. The State
Of Louisiana loses every year thou
sands of people who would stay
here or come here but for the lack
Of good schools. Invirture, Drawn
and money we loose IN this way ten
times the amount We raise for pub
lie education,
Let us not be deceived. every
tub cannot stand on its own bot
tom." No man liveth to himself.
We must educate or we perish.

SAN Francisco, July 3l.-Creed Hay

Railroad, states that the published re-
port that the southern extension OF the
road would be constructed from San Mi
guel eastward into Kern county was in
correct. Maps covering such route
were filed some months ago, thus secur
ing the right of way; but that this line
will be built for years to come is improb-
able. 1t will simply be a branch line
and not part of the extension which is
now being constructed under the South.

"Balsam of Tolu is a stimulant
stomachic with a peculiar tendency to
the pulmonary organs. II is given
with some advantage in chronic ca
tarrh and other pectoral complaints
in which a gently stimulating expec-
torant is demanded, but should not
be prescribed until after the reduc-
ton of inhammatory action. hide
pendently of its medical virtues, its
agreeable flavor renders it popular
ingredient in expectorant mixtures.
Old and obstinate coughs are said to
be sometimes greatly relieved by the
inhalation of the vapor proceeding
from an ethereal solution of this bal
sam"

all diseases of the lungs. II is manu-
