I take them away MERICA has always stood for the protection of natural and inalien-' Aj able rights, among which none is so sacred as that of parents over their! children. ABRAHAM LINCOLN said: "The Family is the corner-stone of social order and the guarantee of public safety. No Government can take the place of the Parent, and , should never be permitted to Usurp it." (Speech at Quincy, Ills., 1859. )J The results of the campaign against the so-called Gmprdaory Edu cation Bill, which is in fact a Bill to Establish State Monopoly of Edxxca f ton, may be grouped under two heads: ft V Facts demonstrated The FACTS DEMONSTRATED, no longer seriously disputed by anybody, are these : That the Bill was given a False Title, to mis lead the public and deceive the voters. That it in no respect pretends to improve the existing law as to the Public Schooh, but simply destroys the Private Schools. That not one cent of public money goes to the support of any- private or parochial school in this State, "or ever. has, or ever can, under-the plain prohibition of the Constitution and laws. That it will increase taxation at least $1,000,000 each year, and require from $5,000,000 to $4,000, 000 investment in new public school buildings. That it vests in the County Superintendents ar bitrary and unappealable power to gTant special privileges to the wealthy aftd influential, by' which they will be exempt from the law. That it will prevent parents from educating their children in private schools both inside and outside of the State, as they cannot even send their children elsewhere to be educated. That so far from being united in support of the Bill, the Masonic Fraternity in the State is di vided, many of the leading Masons are openly opposed to it, and the Grand Master of the State Grand Lodge has publicly denied that the Grand Lodge indorsed it. That the best elements in the social, religious, educational, and political life of the State are op posed to the measure. That the educational leaders, inside and outside of the State, are opposed to the Bill. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia University, says: "It should be called a Bill to render the American system ofj education impossible in Oregon." The Presidents of Yale, Princeton, Chicago, Leland Stanford and other great Universities have em . phatically condemned it. That the private schools, under the existing law, are required to conform their course of stud ies to the public -schools standards, the English language is made compulsory, and they are sub ject to the inspection and supervision of the State authorities. That the proposed law will close up every orphan asylum, home for defective and dependent children, and" other private charities, where any elementary instruction of the inmates is at tempted. That it destroys the rights of minorities the most vital and valuable principle of Americanism, and the one that has preserved this country from the tyranny of Old World Governments. THE ARGUMENTS UNANSWERED against the bill are contained in the "Voters Pamphlet" issued by the State. The chief points of the same are as follows : Argumeitts unanswere L THE LUTHERAN ARGUMENT : II you . see fit to send your child to a school in which your religion is taught, riot one day in the week, but every day, and the whole training of the child. Is permeated by such religion.' the State, tinder the. Constitution, must not prohibit, yon from so do ing. This bill is manifestly unconstitutionaU' 2. THEPORTLAND CITIZENS AND TAX PAYERS ARGUMENT: "It the number of chit- ' dren now atterjding the riubUc.scholsU to be to? creased by adding those now taught in the private . t schools, it is inevitable , that overcrowding muit . result unless new buildings are strppliexL and1, it is also certain that taxes must be materially Increased-- 3. ST. HELEN'S HALE (EPISCOPAL) AR GUMENT : "No invidious fact or condition" affect ing public interest has been called to our attention that would, furnish in the slightest degree an excuso for the proposed legislation. ' ' ; ' 4. thtTprincipa4i;s of PRIVATE ' SCHOOLS ARGUMENT: ntis against the best : American ideals of freedom, m that it denies to men and women freedom of thought'and-action in the choice of environment and influences for their chil-' dren." .V:K-'- 5. THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS ARGUMENT: "We are not at all certain, that. av man educated in the public school is more intelligent than if he were educated in a prrvate or sectarian school, nor have we heard atrj- convincing argu ment that a person is necessarily more patriotic if educated in a public school, thart if he were edu cated in a school not supported by -public, taxa tion." - v. '';Vk- '--'i; 6. THE CATHOLIC ARGUMENT: "There; is no occasion now for. agitation that will estrange' old friends and neighbors, and that will divide our, people into classes and factions. No greater mis fortune can befall us than movements calculated to create divisions." ' ' t 7. THE PRESBYTERIAN MINISTERS ARV GUMENT : "It is based on the phitosophy of autooi racy that the child belongs primarily to the State; -it is an unjustifiable invasion of family authority, and f -threatens ultimately the guarantee of our American : liberty.". . The foregoing "Negative Aiguments. are -as strong today as when written andl filed. .They re-r main unshaken and unshakable, after three months of public discussion. ' V f The great International Convention of tSe Eptjco pal Church, meeting in Portland' recently, adopted, strong and unequivocal resolutions condemning this bill. 1 , The State Conference of the Methodlsl Episcopal Church, at its meeting in Salem last August, refused to entertain any movement looking to an enaorse ment of the bill, by the express ruling of the Presids ing Bishop. 4 - v Upon the, foregoing statement of the case we invoke the fair and intelli gent judgment of the voters of Oregon, confident of the result if a regard for the inherited and fundamental principles of reasonable liberty ere tPt prevail in this state.
