why goods of all kinds cannot be

Identical: rents are not so high; the

our steps back and get in the path o.
duty and of destiny where JEFFERSON
intended US to walk"
The prophecy OF Governor Marshall
should not be taken merely as politi-
cal nlatitude uttered for political pur-
poses. In the concentration OF the
nations wealth in the hands Of indi-
yiduaIs. the continued robbing of the
many for the interest of the few by
means Of adroit schedules and tarin
walls that break down competition
and saddle burdens upon the laboring
classes, already toiling beneath load
of high living and low wages, there Is
a source of danger that should not be
overlooked. It would be far better 10
remedy the evil before it grows larger
than to await developments and find
that the stream that could have been
turned has swollen to such proportions
that it will sweep ALL even the very
fundamentals of government, before 1t
into that maelstrom of revolution that
history teaches follows close upon the
heels of oppression.

will THE HAND TURN BACK.

Governor Marshall, of Indiana, IN
discussing the tariff before the Ma
tional Democratic Club, at banque'
given at the Hotel Savoy, upon the
celebration of the birthday Of Thomas
Jefferson, sounded warning note "
the "malefactors of wealth" VINO
would exploit the government Ior
selfish purposes. The most striking
assertion in his lengthy argument 1or
the perpetuation of principles tnal
mean .'eoual and exact justice to all
was that the hour would soon strike
when monopoly must cease its greedy
clamor or revolution would follow.
In this respect he said:
"That man has not reached we"
of the high ideal of Democracy VINO
does not relaize that, So far as the
law is concerned, the rights, priv

Gen. Washington closed at noon and

Attorney General Garner opened for
the State after the noon adjournment.
Il will take very little of the courts

to show that the attorneys for the

General Garner discussed the de-

ing on the verdict. They claim that
when the jurors reported that Sharp
was not guilty and that they were
hopelessly tied up as to the Coopers
the court should have declared the
case mistrial" Garner said that the
defense could not cite single decision
sustaining either contention. He
spoke only ten minutes.
Judge Anderson, for the defense.
confined himself to the proposition
that the verdict was not supported by
the evidence and that, therefore, the
verdict should be set aside. He de-

COMPULSORY SCHOOL At
TENDANCE FOR TENNESSEE
cRx Prof. P. P. claxton.l

(By Prof. P. P. Claxton)
| Few who have studied the question
carefully doubt the justice or wisdom
of such laws. The following is fair
summary of arguments on the subject:
! /. Universal education is essential
to the material, intellectual, and moral
welfare of the state and its people.
Illiteracy and ignorance are burden
and constant menace to public
morals and civil liberty, and threaten
the very existence of the state. The
state provides schools at public ex-
tense, collecting money ioF their sup
port by law, and by force II ntces-
sarv. IT therefore has a right Lc on
force attendance, that its money may
not be wasted and that It's interests
nav be protected. A state must pro
tect itself and its essential interests.
2. Individual welfare depends
upon the general welfare. Having
taken the money of one man to edu-
cate the children of another, the state
must protect the first mar and his
children from the burden and dtngers
of illiterate neighbors and fellow cfti-
zens and from the low state OF In
dustrial. social and po.i'ic life
which is unavoidable in a state a
large per cont of whose citizens are
iIliterate and uneducated.
8. Children have rights as well as
parents, and the state must protect
them in these rights. CHIEF among
them is the right to such education
and training as will enable them to
live useful and happy lives, to be-
come intelligent and self-supporting
citizens, and to work out for them
selves the highest destiny which God
and nature have made possible for
them. The importance Of this right
and the necessity for its being re-
cognized increases as competition
becomes more fierce, the use of mach
inery more common, the demand for
intelligent labor greater, government
more democratic, religious liberty
more perfect, and the obligations OF
the individual to himself, his family,
his country. and the world more COM
plex and binding Without extreme
Injustice it may not be disregarded
and a state in which the right of sun |
rage in any way depends on the
ability of the citizens to read and
write, as is the case now in many
counties in Tennessee.
4. Such a law cannot Interfere !
with any right of parents, for no
parent has the right to make a slave /,
of his child or to rob it of the oppor-
tunity of obtaining an elementary
education. Parnts who would commit ,
this crime against their children
should be restrained and, il necessary,
punished. Such law cannot be a
burden to those who would educate ,
their children without 1t. AS the
laws against stealing are not burden
some to honest men so a reasonable
school attendance law
cannot be burdensome to parents who
are willing to deal justly and honestly
with their children.
The experience of other states and
countries has demonstrated that such
avs may be made effective and that
hey need not work hardships on
honest citizens.
