The Maupin high school stu dent body held its regular meet ing Monday evening.

A Hallowe'en party was given by the Misses Winifred Kaiser and Jean Wilson at the horne of the former Tuesday night. The guests were requested to appear as ghosts, giving the party a very haunted appearance when all had arrived. When all had gathered, the ghosts paraded the streets, knocking at several doors and having a general good lime. On returning, the ghost cos tumes were removed, followed by delicious refreshments servi d by the hostess' mothers, Mrs 'II. K. Kaiser and Mrs. R. E. Wilson. All guests reported a delightful time.

God gave parents their children KB Governments cannot rightfully take them away AMERICA has always stood for the protection of natural and !nalien J- able rights, among which none is so sacred as that of parents over their children. ABRAHAM LINCOLN said: ! "ThFamily is the corner-stone of social order and the guaranty of public safety. No Government cau take the place of the Parent, and . should never be permitted to usurp it." (Speech at Quincy, Ills., 1859.) The results of the campaign against the ao-callcd Compulsory Edu cation Bill, which is in fact a Bill to Ettabliah State Monopoly of Educ tion, may be grouped under two heads i Facts demonstrated Tht FACTS DEMONSTRATED, no Inngei striously disputed by anybodv. arc these That the Bill ftas 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,Schools. 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 $1,1100,000 each year, and require from $3,000,000 to S4.0O0,. 000 investment in new public school buildings. That it vests in the County Superintendents ar bitrary and unappealable power to grant special privileges to the wealthy and influential, by ivhich 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 ifom being united in support of the nll. 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 thai the Grand Lodge indorsed it. j That the best elements in the social, religious, educational, and political life of the Slate are op posed to the measure. I That the educational leaders, inside and outside ef the State, are opposed to the Bill Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia University, says: 'Mi should be called a Bill to render the American system of education impossible in Oregon " The Presidents of Yale. Princeton. Chicago. Lelantl Stanford and other great Universities have em phatically condemned it. ' That the private schools, under the exist'inu law, are reiiircd 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 Stat authorities. t That the proposed law will close up every orphan asylum, home for defective and dependent children, and other private charities, where an elementary instruction of the inmates is at tempted. Thai it destroys the rights of minorities, the most vital and valuable principle of Americanism, and the one that has preserved this country from the tyrannv 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 Arguments unanswered t THE LUTHERAN ARGUMENT ' If you sec fit lo send your child to a school in which your religion is taught, not one day in the week, but every day. and the whole training of the child is permeated by such religion, the State, under the Constitution, must not prohibit you from so do ing This lull is manifestly unconstitutional " . 2 THE PORTLAXDCiTIZENS AND TAX. . PAYERS ARGUMENT "If the number of chil. drcn now attending the public schools is to be in creased by adding those now taught in the private schools, it is inevitable that overcrowding must result unless new buildings are supplied, and it IS al'o certain that taves niuM be materially increased " ST HELEN'S HALL (EPISCOPAL) AR GUMENT "No invidious fact or condition affect ing public interest has been called to our attention that would furmr.h in the slightest degree an excuse for the propo'M Ifcriitation " 4. THE PRINCIPALS OF PRIVATE SCHOOLS' ARGUMENT "It is against the best American ideal, of freedom, in that it denies to men and women freedom of thought and action in the choice of environment and influences lot their chil dren " , 5 THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS' ARGUMENT. "We are not at all certain that a man educated in the public school is more intelligent than if he crc educated in a private or sectarian school, nor have we heard any convincing argu ment that a person is necessarily more patriotic ll educated in a public school, than if he were edu cated in a school not supported by public taxa tion ' r, THE CATHOLIC ARGUMENT. "There ts no occasion row 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 errate divisions.' 7. THE PRESBYTFRIAN MINISTERS' AR CU ME N T ' It is based on the philosophy of autoc racy that the child belongs primarily lo the State: it is an unjustifiable invasion of family authority, and threatens ultimately the guarantee of our American liberty " The foregoing 'Negative Arguments' are Strong today as when written and filed They re main unshaken and unshakable after three months of public discussion. The great International Convenlion ot the Episco pal Church, meeting in Portland recently, adopted strong and unequivocal resolimons condemning this bill The State Conference ol the Methodist Episcopal Church, at its meeting in Salem last August, refused to entertain any movement looking to an endorse ment ol the bill, by the enptesi ruling of the Presid ing Bishop 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 are lo prevail in this state.
