HAWKINS BOY

! desire to say word in support Of
a Compulsory School Law in Tennessee.
I write this to encourage the growing
sentiment for such law.
Not only is this law needed for the
sake of children who desire to go to
school, and are kept at the pillow handle
or in the kitchen aud for children who
are too young to realize their own in
terest, but to raise the standard of citizen
ship by decreasing the per cent of Hitter
acy Perhaps the Rambler needs no
such Law, as he will send his children
to school without any compulsion, but
we must remember that a large number
OF our parents in Tennessee are unedu
Gated, and have not sufficient zeal a

experience in dear old Lawrence has
shown me how bad we need such law.
| taught in a community with scholas
tic population of about forty and had
an average attendance of twelve.
If Mr.. Rambler will ramble over the
County he will find this the case, to a
large extent, in majority of the schools
In Lawrenceburg the attendance is
not two thirds of the scholastic popu-
latiOn. knowledge comes first in this
world, knowledge of mankind and Of
God, and to acquire this our minds
must be trained. This training is OBJ
tained in the school room.
An uneducated man is little more
than a weakling. A few uneducatet
men have acquired wealth and severa
are in the penitentiary.
| We, who support this law, are no
"pie seekers" as the Rambler woult
have it, but have the interest of tn
country and its citizens at heart Bu
remember Rambler, that the supporter
must abide by the same law. SayinI
the law is diabolical is no argument. 1

The Charleston News and Courier re-
news its advocacy of the deportation Of
the ncsro from this country as n solu-
ton of The race problem. II answers with
candor number of practical questions
put to il by the New York Times as 10
how the deportation should be- carried
out. the cost Of it. and so on. bur omits
TO mention the very serious constitutional
questions involved. The News and
Courier says. All Of the elements In
voIved in this settlement of the race
question have been fully considered. %
But has the constitutional aspect of the
matter been given the consideration that
it deserves Inasmuch as the advocates
of deportation evidently propose that the
national government shoulder the ex-
pense OF it, the question whether the
government has the right 10 deport 10
ooo-0G0 citizens is one that certainly needs
an answer.
For the negro is a citizen Of the United
States. and endowed with an the privi-
Ieges of every other citizen The News
and Courier says he is not freeman. but
he is assuredly citizen. whether a free
man in the same sense as the white man
or not Being n citizen of the United
states, upon what legal ground could he
be deportcd? We have never made "a
practice of deporting our citizens. even
when guilty Of heinous crimes. In fact.
We are always glad to get them back. so
that they may be tried and punished BY
what sort of legislation, not in violation
Of the Constitution. could the negro bc
deprived Of his citizenship? Could he be
denauOnalized and then as an alien. sent
out of the country? But even aliens
have the rights of citizens TO the pro-
lection of life. liberty and property.
They cannot be deported unless they have
come into the country in defiance of our
laws. or unless in time Of war they give
aid and comfort to the enemy.
How. then. does the News and Courier
propose that the negro shall be legally
put out OF the country? The moral. So
cial economic. and political reasons ad-
duced IN favor Of deportation are wei
known; what are the constitutional
grounds upon which deportation may BE
justified. and what are the constitutional
methods by which It may be carried out?

The conviction Of the New York Cen
tral Railroad Company on a charge OF
having given rebates on freight shipped
by the sugar trust shows that. while the
practice still exists. those who engage in
it may be brought 20 account. No one OF
the admitted evils of railway management
has been so effective in the upbuilding OF
large combinations Of capital as the grant
Ing of rebates to favored shippers. Upon
rebates and other concessions granted by
railroads WAS erected the huge monopoly
enjoyed by the Standard oil Company
The sugar trust is now shown to have
enjoyed similar favors. and we have no
doubt that many other trusts are in the
same boat
Apologists for the trusts and the rail-
roads Justify favors TO large shippers on
Tie ground that heavy tonnage should
be- given lower rate. The same principle
prevails in business transactions general
ly, and seldom meets with condemnation.

monopoly. The government has. there
