The Rajah OF Bhoag," which comes

The Rights of Children.

I'm the name OF God" exclaims our
contemporary The TlmeE-Dispatch, in
burst OF fervld eloquence on the sub
ject OF compulsory education. "have the
children no srlghts2"
Certainly, friend; they have number
less rights which they will never secure,
and which no sane State will ever under
take to supply. They have right to be
washed and comfortably dressed and fed
they have right to good beds to sleep
In, to careful religious and moral training
They have even right TO DO properly
spanked for their souls health when they
need it.-Richmond Evening Journal.
Certainly, friend but the State OF vir-
citizens to support the schools. and gives
every child the right to attend such
schools without paying a cent for TUT
tion. Hence tho right OF the child to be
education Ar THE PUBLIC EXPENSE
Is a recognized and established right, and
all the lucid logic OF our contemporary
cannot alter the fact,
Does the right OF parent override this
right OF the child? Hns the parent the
right to deny to the child the opportunity
to enjoy Its right7 Some talk as though
the rights of parent over child were ubso-
Lutte. No such thing There are various
limitations.
a parent Is not permitted in law to
hire his child (under fourteen years of
age> to any person for the vocation OF
rope-walkins. begging or peddllns. or as
gymnast, contortionist. ETC., or for any
obscene. indecent or criminal purpose,
or in any business. exhibition or voca-
ton Injurious to life or limb, health or
morals Of the child. Nor Is a parent al
lowed to hire his child under twelve years
OF age to work in any factory or mine.
Moreover, whenever 1t 1s made to APP
pear to any court having Jurisdiction to
appoint n guardian that any child under
the age Of fourteen, by reason OF the
neglect. crime, drunkenness, or other
vice OF parents. Is growing up without
education or salutary control, the court
may order such child to be committed
to any legally incorporated humane 30
ciety. etc. That statute tsection s795a 81
OF Pollards Code involves every principle
OF compulsory education.
Let US not be m!sled, fellow-citizens, by
bubbles. The education OF the children
at the States cost Is the established
policy of Virginia. She has vouchsafed
to her children tho right to be educated
In the schools which she has provided.
and 1t is absurd to say that che may not
enforce by statute the right which she
has thus established.

Sympathy for Meyer, ct al.

DENVER, Col, Feb 19.-Without
going into the merits of the charges
of completely ir the assa assination of
Ex-Governor Steunenberg, public senti-
ment here favors Meyer and Haywood,
because they were given no opportunity
to combat the allegations. Legal au-
thorities declare that the Idaho and
Colorado authorities acted illegally and
can be prosecuted for kidnapping
Meyer and Haywood.
A dozen Pinkerton detectives and
deputy sheriffs are rounding up other
union miners alleged to be connected
with the. Steunenberg murder. Cover
nor Mcdonald refuses to discuss the
arrests beyond stating that on the face
of the evidence ne could not do other
wise than allow the men to be re-
moved from the state. The sentiment
among union men is strong against
Mcdonald and he is rOundly con-
demned. 1t is claimed that the men
could have been taken at any time and
there was no necessity of secrecy,
special trains and national guardsmen.
None of the prisoners was given a
chance to consult attorneys or to send
a farewell note to his family.
