COMPULSORY SCHOOL LAW.
Sentiment (irowing in Favor of a Mild
Law of this Kind in North Caroliua.
The IJreensboro TtJcgrnm. with a
view to stimulate thought and action
along the lino of carrying out the
proniNe of the Demoeratie party to
furnish an opportunity to every child
in North Carolina to obtain an edu
cation, h:is interviewed a number of
loading men of tho State in ditTerent
profession on the question:
'Is tho time now ripe for a mild
compulsory educational law in North
Carolina, or for oven a step in that di
rection?" The answers are varied, but almost
unanimously in favor of some plan for
compulsorv" attendance. The presi
dents of all the colleges of tho State,
leading law vers, manufacturers, teach
ers and business men give their opin
ions, all of w hich make very interest
ing reading matter on this burning
tpiestion .
The first letters were published by
tho Tclorrum September 1st, and will
be continued in its Saturday edition
for a week or two. When all have
been published, a synopsis of the
views will be made "and printed in
brief phamphlet form for distribution.
Everv one desiring a copy of this can
obtain same as soon as issued by

Mr. II. F. Beasley, the Telegram,
Greensboro, N. C. "This is the most
important contribution that has for
some time occurred on the subject of
education in North Carolina, (let a
copy and road both sides.

on the above says:

reference to compulsory school at
tendance. We endorse it thoroughly.
The day is past when a child should
be permitted to grow up in ignorance,
even if it desired to and its parents
were willing that it should.
Illiteracy should be made a crime
w hen it is "possible to acquire an edu
cation, for nothing so tends to crime
as ignorance.
In the city of New York, and per
haps in tho State, a parent is com
pelled by law to keep their children
at school for a certain number of
vears. If they are unable to pay for
their tuition at more select schools
then they must send their children to
the free schools, supported by the
citv. and incidentally we would say
that New York City expends annually
more than thirty million dollars for
her free school system.
It is surprising to know the illit
eracy in this particular section, nor
do we have to go to the census taker
to learn of the precentage. Day after
dav, during the summer men would
drop in our oflice from the country j
hunting customers for their produce, j
we often solicited them to subscribe j
for our weekly when the answer in a
majority of the cases was that they
could not read, and many of them had
not a member of their families who
could, and with this deplorable con
dition facing us for men to say we
should not have an educational quali
fication. The newspapers of our State should
be keenly alive to this matter, they
may make it a matter of person
al interest if they desire, for most as
assuredly it is a'vital question with
newspapers. We can only have
subscribers among .people who can
read and the more people who can
read, the more subscribers a news
paper will have. As a rale, people of

the West are better educated, and for
this reason it is but little trouble to
sustain a paper. I5ut this is the sel
fish side of the question. If we only
regard the individual interest who
should be educated, we have all the
incentive that wc need to encourage
every one to favor compulsory educa
tion. 'The traveling men have lost C',
000, OOU in salaries. This is quite an
item to the families of men who have
been compelled to live a life of open
handed generosity, and whose earn
ings must necessarily be small."
Oregon and the Negro.
Look on this picture, then on that.
North Carolina has just adopted a
Constitutional amendment withhold
ing the ballot from illiterate negroes.
Hy the adoption of this amendment
the race question in its worst form is
eliminated from North Carolina poli
ties. Hereafter whites and blacks in
that' State will live together in peace
and work out the industrial destiny
of the Commonwealth. At the last
election in Oregon the people were
called on to vote on a proposition to
strike out of their Constitution a pro
vision distinctly hostile to negroes.
Bv that provision negroes are forbid
den to come into the State or to hold
real estate therein. Oregon, bv a
majority of 10,000. refused to repeal
this provision of their State Consti
tution. Yet Oregon is a I'lepublican
State: and Republicans claim to be
the special friends of the negro.

HOUSE
CRUSHED BY THE TRUSTS.
How Commercial Travelers Hav e IJetn
Made to Suffer.
.John M. (juinu. in an address at a j
meeting of the Commercial Travelers"
and Hotel Men's Anti-Tru-t League, j
in the League's hall, on Broadway 1
and Houston street, Now York, said:'
Of the rtoO.CMO traveling men in I
the United States. i'.j.OOO have been j
thrown out of employment by the j
trusts anil L'.'i.mii) more have been
compelled to accept a deduction of j
over 30 per cent, in salary. Half f
the 12o,0'i0 whose wages have been
reduced have Icon taken from the
road. This item of it-elf is impor
tant, but it is of small import com
pared with the great loss to the coun
try at large.
If Go,0"U commercial travelers
have been so injuriously affected by
the trusts, the mail merchant the
"Teat middle class, which is the Loen
and sinew of a republic has suffered
intinitely mere. And if the middle
class ha suffered, the laborer, who is
dependent upon the middle, class, has
been compelled to bear his share of
loss.
Let I. see what the enforced idle
ness cf the commercial traveler
means. The statistics have been con
servatively prepared by the 1'r'j.-: lent
cf tho Travelers' Association, who
shows that it represents an annual
loss of f 11 i,0.0oo. This means that
$114,000,000 has been withdrawn
from the annual distribution of
monev in the legitimate channels of
trade.
The items arc divided into a loss
of $27, 009.' '0 to the railroad, express
and sleeping ear companies an
amount equal to the entire surplus
earning of thf railroad compan? of

The Han Behind the Negroes.
( Win-ton Sentinel.)
It is tho man behind the gun that
does the work of devastation in war.
It is the in 0:1 behind the negroes that
have created disorder, tleviltrv and
bad government in North Carolina in
the patand would like to have power
to do the same things over again.
F.ven should the negro not be in evi
dence in the coming election we must
down the fellows who have been the
prime cause of raee troubles. Call
this raising the race issue, if you
please, but we belic-ve the most of the
folks opposed to negro postmasters,
as well as negro magistrates, look at
the situation from this standpoint and
propose to make it warm during the
campaign for those who have stood
behind the negroes in the past and
used them as slaves and tools and
who would now lull white folks into a
false sense of security by the siren
song that the negro is already elimi
nate! a a political factor, while these
same fellows hope to get a last bite at
the ignorant-negro-cherrv.
