Who are the Imperialists.

In all those countries where the
personal rights of the citizen are
the least, the management of chill
dren Is in measure usurped 10y
the government, while in this
part OF the freest country on earth
the management or control of chill
dren is left almost entil ely to MS
parents and natural protectors
The State of South Carolina doe
not exercise the care of a step
mother, but the child's natural
mother is trusted TO care for her
own. Whenever the government
attempts to take the control
of children from their natural
guardians and protectors, it is a
step leading to the abrogation of
the rights and obligations which
have not been denied to the lowest
of the animal creation.
That there are instances of
abuses of children, in all the vari-
cd pursuits of life, is net to he deni
ed, neither is it to be denied that
many mother makes he self u
slave to shield her children from
work.
1t is also true that there are
one orimore vagfant men ut any
or all of the cotton mills.
These vagrants should be look
ed after, ard if able to work,
should be required to take lux
urious place on the County chain
gang.
Many well meaning, but igno-
rant people, are urging that laws
be enacted for3idding children to
work in cotton mills. Any mar
who would think for n moment
would shudder at the corrupting
influences of enforced ldleness
on great aggregations of children.
ldleness Is said to lie the dcvil's
workshop, and the immortality re
sulting from crowds of children
assembled together would be ap.
paling to any honest or codScien
tious citizen.
If, therefore, children should |
be forbidden TO work, they should
be required to attend school. En-
forced idlcness would have most
injurious effect on men. womer
or children.
The impcrialists would assume
responsibility of parents, and act
the part of step mother for the
children of the State - Able
