U. S. RUSHING TO RUIN.
Cardinal Gibbons Moralizcs on Dam
ger of Sclf-Indulgencc.

That the Americans are closely ap-
proaching"a reproduction Of the age
of.eXtravagance and mordinate pleas
ure in which the Romans lived just
before their city was destroyed, is
the belief Of Cardinal Gibbons. He
made that plain IN an interview last
week
81 think we are very closely ap-
preaching the age Of extravaganza
and inordinate pleasure enjoyed by
Rome just before the fail" said the
cardinal. "The cry is for more and
more riches. The rich man is
greedy for more. He seems never
to have enough to satisfy his desire.
1t Is the same with the weil-to-do.
The cry is the same everywhere.
"Then there Is the desire for inor-
dinate pleasures. We have many
channels Of pleasure than were in
the days Of Augustus Caesar, yet
there is the desire for new pleasures,
and for greater enjoyment.
II have been told that many peo-
pie mortgage their homes to buy
automobiles. If we did not have the
automobile, there would not be the
desire to mortgage the home for
ure brings it's demand and it's toll"
When the cardinal was asked
what he thought woulG be the result
of this condition Of extravaganza, he
replied:
'I believe the Gospel of Christ will
save the situation. There was no
Christ, you remember, to save Rome.
| hope the people will see their folly
and realize the true situation. The
spirit Of self-denial, unselfishness
and love, the principles Of Christ's
teachings, will be practiced by the
| people then more largely, and will
save us where Rome could not be
saved.
"This great desire for riches is
making people very SELFISH he went
! on. 81 do not speak OF individuals.
| for we have many generous ones
among the rich, but ! wish that more
of them would be little less selfish
and little more considerate of the
unfortunate"
The cardinal spoke Of the great eX-
! travagance of women and added that
| the women Of Rome were very eX-
! travagant, too.

Wish Il Hunters License.

When legislators continuously

cannot he expected to act for their
constituents. They wait for the peo-
pie to point them the way. That is
playing safe" for the legislator, but
it does not make his services valua-
BILE to his constituents
At the last session Of the General
Assembly the way was pointed
whereby the Audubon society could
be made self. sustaining in South Car
olina and furnished With means to
do vastly more for the benefit OF the
farming industry and for the conser-
walton OF game for this and the next
generation. But legislators we're
timid. While the gun tax had been
an approved success in many OF the
States, operating always for the ben

would be particular beneficial in this
State, whose chief game belt is the

afraid TO act. They feared the peo-
pie back home" would not approve.
They feared the farmer would prefer
having game destroyed and the de-
stroyers of crop destroying insects
eXtcrminated to paying dollar a
year as a gun tax. In fact, they
| rated the farmers as without Wis
dom or the capacity OF understand
! ing what is to the real interest Of

asking for the hunters license re-

Perhaps the strongest argument in
justification OF States enacting a
compulsory education law is that by
so doing 1t protects itself against fu-
ture i%"orance, crime and corruption.

school system and compelling its
children to avail themselves Of the

securing its own safety than for the

ever important that may be for the
child's ultimate good. The wishes Of

forefends itself against every kind Of

forefends itself against every kind Of
evil.
With respect to the enactment OF
law compelling children to attend
the public schools, the only question
that need be considered is whether
the State as 10 make the passage Of
a compulsory law necessary. Every
thing else, such as the right or au-
thOrity of parents over their chill
dren. or the personal liberty OF the
chud, should be excluded, on the
ground that the stability and welfare
OF the State are paramount to all
other considerations. If. therefore,
it can be shown that ignorance is
the most prolific source OF the evils
which anlict societr, it follows, as a
matter Of course, that society has the
right to destroy 1t as far as it can and
in such a way as it may choose. The
proof that ignorance is continual
menace to the peace and dignity OF a
State, or that where it preponderates
society is impossible Of being so or
ganized as to secure the best results,
Is quite abundant. TO find such evil
dence, it will not be necessary for
one to betake himself to the Fiji is
lands or to visit the savage tribes Of
Africa, Here at home, among the
ignorant and illiterate, he can find
ample evidence Of the blight OF su-
perstition and immortality. The chief
curse Of our State is an absolute
lack Of education among large
class Of people who most threaten
our civilization. Unfortunately, this
negro population, for were that the
case the danger would not be nearly
so great; but there is q large propor-
tion Of whites that are very ignorant
and inclined to viciousness. There
Is no estimating the harm they are
capable of doing to the State, nor
the extent to which they may go in
undermining social safeguards and
making an entire wreck of organized
society. In such work at disorgan-
ization they have the countenance
and support, oftentimes, of political
demagogues.
Now, to do away with the evil
which threatens through lack OF edu-
cation, or to minimize it as much as
possible, 1t IS the duty Of the State
for the sake Of its own organism. it's
well-being and welfare, to compel
parents not inclined to do SO 10 give
10 their children the advantages Of
fered by the public schools. For the
State not to do this is a crime, which
1t commits against itself. 1t is to all
intents and purposes social suicides.
an act abhorrent to all intelligent
/ and right-thinking men and wo-
| men. Besides being constitu-
tional, such compulsory edu-
| cation law would tend to solve
many OF the social difficulties which
the future will store up against us

| dangers which threaten, the State
| should pay no attention to the
| mouthngs of the demagogue, but 20
