The Rights of Children.

The juvenile laws OF Colorado are out
lined in an article appearing In the
March number Of the Green Bag. Tho
article Is by Mr.. Ben b. Lindsey. and has
a local interest because questions treated
by him were recently discussed In con-
nccton with the proposal to adopt COM
pusory education in Virginia. In that
discussion The Timcs-Dispatcl, contended
for the rights of the child. taking the
ground that the child had rights which
even the parent could not lawfully In
fringe. That is no new principle, and is
recognized in the laws of Virginia.; but
the principle has been farther extended
In the juvenile laws of Colorado.
Tho Colorado law permits child to be
corrected in n chancery court Of an net
which would otherwise constitute crime
If prosecuted in n criminal court, by
quent or juvenile disordcrly person This
court, says AIR. Lindsey, has unlimited
jurisdiction with all chancery cases or
criminal cases involving children or those
who offend against children. In 1t Is en-
forced the child labor law. the compul-
sorry school law, tho adult delinquent law.
the juvenile law. the dependent and the
neglected child law, the law for the pro-
lection of children against the non-sup-
port lawn fact. every law affecting q
child or an adult who has offended
against the child.
Again. the Colorado law holds parents
and other citizens legally responsible for
the moral welfare of children under six
teen years of age The first law of a
general character OF this kind, continues
Mr. Lindsey. was passed in the State OF
Colorado three years ago, although be-
fore that time the school law was very
particular in holding parents responsible
for the. tr,,ancy and disorderly conduct
of their children. In 1885 the same general
law was enacted in Illinois, Indiana,
Nebraska. New Jersey. Utah. oregon,
Kansas and some other States. 1t is
termed the adult delinquent law" and
the purpose of 1t is to compel careless
parents to take care of their children.
1t Is clear that this law does not de-
sign to trcspass upon the rights OF pa
rents. but merely to protect the rights
of the child It's purpose is to establish
the best sort of family discipline by hold
ing the parent up to the mark of pa
rental obligation. SO long as he dis
charges his affectionate duty. there Is
no Interference. 1t is only when he is
delinquent that the law looks after the
childs' rights and interests.

Monument 10 Poe.

Editor OF the Times-Dispatch:
Sir Great has been my de-
light to note the movement TO
erect In Richmond a monument
to Edgar Allen Poe. In such eaues-
trian statues as those OF Washington
and Lee, Richmond may proudly boast
that she is unexcelled.. The other monu-
ments to statesmen and to military heroes
which adorn. the capital city OF the South
stands as an additional testimony that
our people ure not unmindful of their
duty to honor the memories of those
who have achieved fame for our South
land.
The people OF the South love. and
read the best literature. .The better
part OF the life of Poe-tho one man
recognized in Germany and France as
tho foremost American poet--was spent
in Richmond. Surely the good people OF
Virginia 1tnd Richmond recognize the
genius OF Poe, and wish Ato have in
Richmond some memorial as witness
of their appreciation.
New York has honorcd the memory OF
j. Marion Simms. the great surgeon.
and patriotic. ci,izsns OF Virginia have.
with equal thoughtfulness. remembered
Or. Hunter Mcclure. In New York are
monuments to Irving. Holmes. Lowell.
Longfcllow. Bryant and others. but so
far as I have observed. none to Poe.
Let the Capitol Square at Richmond
contain a suitable monument to Poe.

TUESDAY. MARCH 10. 1906.
Not he who has little, but lie who
wishes for more, is poor.
Two Sides to Rate Regulation.

Members OF Congress and others WHO
have so earnestly advocated that the
Interstate Commerce Commission be
clotheds with the power to fix railroad
rates and that the order of the COM
mission so into immediate effect, are
beginning to see that there are two
sides TO the question Their attention IS
now called to the fact that under sucn
conditions shippers might sometimes be
greater sufferers than the railroad. BY
way of Illustration the Washington Post
makes the following citation:
las the rate from New England mn
points to Chicago, of 80 cents hundrel
pounds. is 90 cents below the first-class
rate ii is difficult TO SEQ on what theory
IL could he further reduced except that
il ought to be lower in comparison with
the same rate of 81 cents from Atlanta.
AS Atlanta is about 20 miles nearer Chi-
cago than the average distance from
New England mill points, it is not at all
Improbable that court OF review wouia
refuse to justify a reduction in the New
England rate either on the ground that
ii was unreasonably high in and of 1T
self or on the ground that 1t was too
high as compared with the Atlanta rae.
In that event If the courts could nos be
permitted TO suspend the order OF the
commission pending the review. the
Southern mills would be subjected to the
discrimination resulting from the illegal
lowering of the New England rate on
every shipment made while the case was
pending There would be no one from
whom they could recover damages and
their loss would be irrcparable.
1T seems to be obvious that the dam
age that would pc done to shippers or 10
communities ina case like this would
be much greater than would be inflicted
on the carriers. 1t is difficult to conceive
OF an order of the Commission changing
the rate on "A single commodity that
would bankrupt a railroad, unless it
might be done by n heavy reduction in
the rate on coal or on ore on u roal
carrying almost exclusively coal or ore;
bur 1t is entirely conceivdblc thnt an or
der changing a single rate nigh. so ar
feet the relation of rates as 10 Lark
rupt shippers and permanently injure
cities or communities. II It should be en-
forced pending review"
There is IL pure object lesson, the dan
ger of class legislation Congress cannot
outlaw the railroads without outlawing
the shippers. 1t cannot deprive the rail
roads of their rights in eourt without
depriving shippers of their rights In
court Bad rules, as well as good rules
usually work both ways

last getting their eyes open?

The Victory" in the Philippines.

The report of the battle which took
place last week near Joio, in the South
ern Philippines is not such. we believe,
as to make agreeable reading TO the
great majority of Intelligent Americans
The engagement resulted in the slaugh-
ter OF some six hundred Aioros wholly
annihilating,. according TO the reports,
an entire .tri1!a. THESE natives are care
fully described il, the dispatches as out
laws and dangerous characters. but there
is some ground for believing that their
outlawry consisted principally in re-
luctance to accept the American admins
tration. No wounded are reported among
them, from. which it is not unfairly as
huned that there were not any.
Many months ago General Mood as
sured the country that the Moros had
been thoroughly pac'tIed, and that no
further trouble was 10 be EXPECTED from
them. succeeding period of compare
tive quiet appeared to substantiatc this
statement. The Jolo engagement now
proves 1t TO have been wholly erroneous
The impression is rapidly gaining ground
that any future report of complete paciR-
cation is likely to be similarly mistaken.
j Is becoming one of the commoncst
OF newspaper pleasautries to assert that
tho only way 10 pacify Moro is 10
kill him. Our present policy in Tie Phil
ipplncs may easily result In the exter-
mination of all hostile tribes, but 1t is
difficult TO see how 1T Is moving toward
any other end.
This is the view taken by General
Corbin. by Major r. l., Billiard, In his
recent Atlantic Monthly article. and by
Representative Longworh. whose visit

the distinct conviction that this country
ought to sc; rid of them at the earliest
