MONEY AND SOUTHERN QUESTION

HE Washington Daily Times of
Sunday, May "a, 1908, has this to
say of Senator Money;
One OF the features of the extra
session OF the Senate was the
speech of Senator fernando d.
Money on the race question, and it
has Occasioned a great deal Of dis
cussion in political and social cir
olaa. II was q nlain. candid. even

upon the consent Of the Colombian congress; and
this congress will consent for the reason that it
believes the concession to the Freuch company is
not legal and that the $40, 900, 900 should be paid
into the Colombian treasury Forty million dol
lars is large sum OF money, and enough to make
Colombian congressman believe almost anything.
Without going into the merits OF the case we may
quote for public information the argument of the
COlOmbians, which has recently been presented in
the columns of the Chicago Record Herald by Mr.
William E. Curtis: The original concession grant
ed to the French company expired in 1898 and was
renewed for seven years by President Saclamente
upon the payment Of S1,000,00O. He accepted the
money, and the company accepted the concession,
but the transaction was never ratified by the Col
Ombian congress, and is held to be an unfinished
proceeding. President Saclamente acted under what
is termed an emergency clause of the constitution
which in time Of war gives the president authority
to do whatever is necessary for the welfare OF the
country. There no foreign war at the time, but
the people wsre in a state Of revolution, and the
81, 600 which was paid by the French company
was decidedly for the welfare Of the government. A
still further objection is that the constitution re-
qures all emergency acts of the president to be rat
fed by congress at its next session. The renewal of
the concession has never been submitted in fact
there has been no meeting of the Colombian con-
gress since it was granted. The country has been
in state Of revolution all the time For these rea
sons, the opponents OF the treaty hold that the
cessOn which the French company is now selling to
our government for $40 600 900 is illegal and there
fore worthless, and that it is not becoming in the
Colombian congress to participate in such fradu-
lent transaction. They claim that under the terms
OF the original concession all the property and
rights Of the French company reverted to the Col
Ombian government upon its expiration in 1898

IfS5N%S9A approve measure providing that
-EEETS&Ih parents be forced to send their
SssE9V ESsSG children to school . certain number
of weeks in each year. The chief
objection advanced to the proposition was that it
would be distinct infringement upon personal lib
eTty and an undue meddling with private affairs.
1t should not be overlooked that compulsory edu-
cation, especially in the South, is not only narrow
view Of broad subject, but it is largely impracti
cable when it is remembered that in no Southern
state are there proper accommodations for children
who are willing to 90 to school. Education is not
matter OF cOmpulsiOn. IL the childs parents are
opposed to education, and if the child himself is
cOnsttutionally opposed to improving his mind and
thus equipping himself for higher and better duties
and fields OF labor, very little will be accomplished
in sending him to school. His own nclinatlons, en-
cOuraged by the views of his parents will make
him an inapt and hopeless pupil. Education is
largely matter OF ambition The savage who is
satisfied with his low standards Of life will be slow
to improve them or to rise above his surroundings
This recalls the story Of the man who sent his
stupid, thriftess to school, and was advised by
the teacher to take him home because he did not
have the capacity to learn, whereupOn the parent
advised the teacher that he was perfectly willing to
pay for the capacity, and the teacher would please
furnish it..
Education must come from within, involving am
bitiOn, pride and desire to rise higher in the scale
OF civilization. Compulsory education may furnish
lODs ana salaries 70 multitude OF school superln-
tendents. teachers and others. But until public
sentiment demands higher standards, broader
ideals and better citizenship it is better to take
position against compulsory education on the
ground Of fundamental principle than to nulliy the
principle and follow farce along this line that
cannot be enforced in opposition to public senti-
ment any more effectively than can the ordinary
criminal laws, which are, as q rule, trampled under
foot and insuted wherever public sentiment is weak
and vacillating
