MATTHEW F. NlAURY.

In yesterdays paper We reproduced
from IIarper,s Weekly an article in which
al1uson was made to the movement in
paris to erect monument to Lieutenant
Malry. Il, the main The article was
very complimentary, but there were one
or two expressions which we are unwill-
ing to pass unnoticed. We quote:
$50 far as we are aware, no one has
ever proposed a monument to him over
here. He seems to have been rather eff
fectually forgotten. Part OF this, no
doubt, is due to the fact that Lieutenant
Maury was Virginian, and when the
war broke out forsool the service Of
the nation to go with his State into the
Lost Cause When the fighting haft
ended, feeling still ran too high to take
back a:to the service a man who was
looked upon by the North as a traitor.
even though he may have done, as
Maury did, a great work. "
A strange sort of a traitor, to be sure.
In those days Southern men believed with
all their hearts in the sovereignty of the
State, and it was considered the height
OF patriotism for a man TO be true to
his native State. Yet, this Northern pub
LEGATION says that Lieutenant Maury, a
NirGinian, was regarded as a traitor be-
cause he took sides with Virginia against
the invading North.
Is it possible that any patriotic citi-
zen Of a Northeli-: State would think
more of Maury if he had deserted Nir-
ginia in the time Of her need and taken
up arms against her? Is it possible that
the patriotic man Of any Northern State
would to-day revere the memory of Rob
ert Z. Lee as they do il Lee had drawn
his sword against Virginia rather than
in her defaIse? Is it possible that any
patriotic citizen of a Northern State to-
day thinks as highly of General Thomas
as he does of Lee or aIaury? We do
not believe it. II Lee and NIaury were
typical traitors, this country would be
lucky, indeed, if it were full of traitors.
1t is stated in Harper's Weekly that no
one Las ever proposed a monument to
Naury on this side CT the ocea,7. That
is mistake. The late Kenton C. Muir
ray, editor of the Norfolk Landmark.
time and again urged, through the col
umns of that paper that monument lie
erected, TO Marry on the Rip Raps at the
entrance Of Hampton Roads. And there
was talk Of starting up an association
with that purpose in view, but we be-
lieve that nothing practical was done. It
IS high time that movement We're start
ed in Virginia to erect a monument on
some suitable spot to that noble man.
We believe that his admirers all over
this land would literally contribute to
such a fund.

GOOD roR MISSISSIPPI.

An interesting piece Of news comes
through the Washington Post from Jack
son. Miss The Posts correspondent
says thst what IS known as tho NC
Ailistcr Resolution was adopted on
Tuesday by an almost unanimous vote
by the members of the General Assembly
and created great excitement. He fur
tier states that the resolution virtually
cuts Mississippi loose from Organism. 1t
urges and indorscs an alignment between
the South and East on political and busi-
ness lines and sewers all connection with
the Vest. friends Of AR. Pryan did
their ttest to stem the tide. but it was no
Ese-the House would not hea- them.
It is added that this change of scnti-
7,ient is a matter of surprise, even to the
advocates of the resolution, as they had
not expected to secure its passage. 1t
IS also significantly added that letters
and kilograms from Mr.. German, APPROX
ing the resolution, were received and
printed in Jackson during the day and
that these ;ublicatiaas did much to Sc
cure the adoption of the resolution.
This is !, hopeful sign. In 1896. under
the lead OF such men as Tiilman, the
Democratic party in the South determined
tc separate from the West and to ally
itself witt, the Pcpulistic West. 1t was
claimed that the East was dominated Ivy
The money power, while the West repre-
sented the peoples interest, and that,
therefore, Southern Democrats should
logically cooperate with the West. So
the representatives from the East were
made 10 taEc a back scar and the affairs
IF the party were committed into. the
bands of the Western leaders.
This was the worst mistake The South
yer made The Democrats of the North
had proven themselves to be our friends
insneed and they had stood by US when
such. friends were almost necessary to.
cur political salvation. Our af1iliation
was naturally with the Democrats Of the
North. But we turned our backs upon
these friends and gave tie right hand
of fellowship TO the Wcsterners. What
was the result After a few years We
Two or three insignificant Populstic
States of the West and our powerful
and sincere friends of the North were
alienated In other words, we found
ourselves affiliated with the Populists OF
The West instead OF, with the Democrats
OF the North. 1t MAS an unnatural at.
filiation and could not in the nature OF
things last. It is Significant, we say
aid encouraging that the Democrats OF
Mississippi are now determined to repu-
date that unnatural alliance and to make
friends with the Democrats of the North
once more.

AND iHEa UNFAIR CONTEMPORARY,

I'VE confess that we arc disappointed
in President Roosevelt. He is the SAINT
reckless rougll-ridcr that he was in The
Spanisil-American war. There is no
Browning when his revolutionary spirit
will break out of bounds We do not
believe that conservative people of this
country will trust him for another term.
The esteemed Richmond Times is moved
to the above remarks because The Pres
iaent has seen fit TO require the Attor-
ney-Gcncral 10 inyestfsa e Pie"i,ont Nor
gan.s stIgpendous trust scheme-The
Northern Securities Company-and, if 1t
Is considered best for the interest of the
country. to dissolve it and put 1t out OF
business.
All that is necessary to throw The Times
into writing sT,asms and bring down its
anaiedictions upon the offending head is
To make even a feeble protest against

articles as the above do not anger The
Times; they distress us. There is abso-
lntely no excuse for the comments which
the Valley NirsiEian makes upon our
Roosevelt article. In this article we
reviewed the brief career OF Mr.. Roose-

The Rights of Parents.

Not very long ago we outlined our OBJ
jections to a compulsory education law.
These objections We're not due to any dis
position to underestimate the Importance
Of education in a country with a popular
form of government, but related to the
inevitable tendency Of such a law to in
wade the exclusive domain of parental
authority and to destroy the sanctity Of
God-given rights. We do not hesitate to
say, however, that if we were limited
to a choice between two such evils as a
compulsory education law and the meas
urc now pending before the Legislature
of this State. looking to the uncondi-
tional prohibition of child labor, we
would choose the compulsory education
law as the lesser CT the two evils The
same objection applies to both PROPOSE
lions in that they both contemplate usur-
patton of parental authority. The COM
sive because it does not seek. to have the
State usurp parental control over the
child any further than to require the at

children within a specified age limits

when the State is to relax its control
and restore the rightful authority of the
fathers and mothers Of the Common
wealth. This would be paternalism in its
most aggravated form. 1t relegates the
most communistic schemes of Populism
TO the shades of obscurity.-Danville

O ygamy in Utah.

The Ministerial Alliance Of Utah re-
iterates its statement that polygamy is be-
ing practiced by large numbers Of per-
sons in that State. While some of the
rapers far away from Utah have been
insulating that the assertions of the
alliance are eXaggerations, it is well to
remember that many of the members
composing that body are on the ground.
and may be presumed to know some
thing of what they are talking about.
Utah cannot afford to have al anti o.
lygamy crusade started throughput the
country. 1t would keep settlers and
caTital away from that State and retard
its growth, which is now proceeding at
4 fairly rapid rate The way for the
Mormons to head off the crusade, how
ever, is to remove any cause for it.-St.

In a recent communication to The
Times from DR.. Linus w. Kline, OF the
Farmville Normal School, he said that
he could easily count on the fingers of
one hand all the educators of the State.
whose opinion on educational questions
before competent tribunal would be
accepted as authority and as rejecting
original, independent thinking.
We expressed ourselves at the time
at such a sweeping statement from a man
in DR.. Iline's position and subsequently
addressed a private note to Inn, asking
him to explain exactly what he meant
His reply is to be found in another
column to-day. and the former statement.
in the light of his explanation, is quite
different. DR.. Kline writes in admirabl
temper. He is net disposed to say harsh
things. He is simply trying to do some-
thing TO aid in the movement which is
now making to improve the public school
system Of Virginia.
