The Proper Public Sentiment

Our people must realize that'
while it is their duty to pay taxes
for the protection of life aud prop
erty, it is their still higher duty t'
paw taxes for the education of Their
children. They must believe that
it is the inalienable right OF every
child to demand and to receive the
benefits of an elementary educa-
ton at least. and that the most
profitable Investment OF the body
polite, measured III dollars and
cents, is the tax fund invested i'll
the brains and capabilities of chill
dren. They must feel deeply thai
conception Of truth and recogni-
ton Of duty are not alone essential.
hut that works must justify their
faith. taxes must be levied and col
lected, and wise. intelligent super
vision of the public agencies Of ed
ncation must be maintained. john

Jack and His Bean Stalk, or the
Decrease of Elliteracy in the
South

OOutH.
II Jack climbs his bean stalk at
the rate of Il mile il day and the
bean stalk grows at. the rate OF Il
mile aud a quarter day, when will
Jack reach the top of his bean
stalk? Plainly, only after he has
begun to climb faster than. the
bean stalk grows.
If in thirty years the number Of
ilijterate white voters i'll a state has
increased 2l.363. ut the same rate
when will there cease to be iilitprate
white voters in that state? Plainly,
only when-they are disfranchised.
But when will there cease to he
native white males Of voting age
who can not read and write? Ger
tainly. not until better schools are
provided and lazy and Indifferent
parents are required to send their
children to them.
1t is probably not generally
known that in every Southern state
there has been in the last thirty
years an increase in the number Of
white males twenty years cd and
over who can neither read nor
write. Yet it is true; and it is
Furthermore true that in no state
South of The Ohio and the Poto-
mac has there been decrease in
the number Of iliterates Of this
class in any decade since 1870. On
the contrary, there has been an IN.
crease in iiltnrates Of this class in
every state i'll each Of these three
decades.
In 1900 there were in Virginia
8,847 more illiterate native white
men twentv-one years old and over
than in 1870; in West Virginia H.
351 more; in North Carolina q, 1868

more; Arkan as 0,Gi3 mere. In
1890 there wee in al these states
175.895 more i!iterate native white
men than in 1870. At this rate,
when will there cease to be a large
number Of illterate native white
voters in these good states? This is
matter for the earnest cOnSidera-
Of every legislator and every good
citizen in all Of these states, and

overlooking the essential features;
the crowds will be there from all

event will be of the same satisfac-

possible. Three skilled workmen
are employed, and If the demand
increases, an addition will have to
be made to this force.
The managers have recently
made an Improvement In the lawn
frame for the swing, arranging 1t so
that an awning can be placed over
the person who Is reclining so pleas
antly In the swing. 1t Is a very
valuable addition, and will add
greatly to the demand for the
swings for lawn purposes.
Judging from the sale the first
season, there Is no question but
that In a year or two, the manu-
featuring of these swings will be
a substantial addition to the In
dustrial life of the city. Powers &c
Smith realize that they have a good
thing, and are pushing 1t with their
usual energy.
