Mining men will watch with in

tai smelling plant to be erected at
ESault Ste. Marie, for if the claims of
Frank E. Hatch, the inventor, are
true, the tremendous iron ore ton-
mage of Lake Superior will not be
sent to Lake Erie for treatment, but
will be converted into iron and steel
by the power of Lake Superior's
waters. The Hatch Electro-Smelt-
ing company, formed by a combin-
alton of Detroit men to push the
Hatch process, has contracted for
200 horsepower from the Clergue
canal, and yesterdaya site was Sc
lected for the plant, in which the
electric smelling project will be
tested.
Inventor Hatch, during a long
series of laboratory tests, has re-
duced many kinds of ore by elec-
trolysis. He claims that all ores will
submit to the process and at saw
ing over present methods of nearly
half. If this claim justifies the. De-
troit capitalists investmentssin the
new company, capitalized at $4,000,
a revolution:.in smelling will result.
Sault Ste. Marie is but half as far
from the source of the ore as are the
smelters of the present day, and
success in electro-smelting there
means that twice the amount of ore
could be transported by the fleet
now in the ore trade, and that with
the present equipment the output
of iron and steel on the great lakes
would be doubled. Along with the
development of the new industry
would come the introduction of a
line of steamers to carry iron and
steel from the producing works to
Buffalo and Georgian bay ports.-

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
biblical Recorder.)

The Supreme Court of North Caro-
Ina has recently handed down a dec.s-
ion that is likely to be OF much impor-
t:Eco to the S:a:7 and of interest espa-
tally to those who have enlisted in The
movement for advance in public educa-
tion.
The decision is concerned with
case from the town o! Gresnyille. That
town undertook to establish Graded
School. The enactment providing for
his school Vas 50 drawn that it apre If
ID that the Intention was to deprive
the negroes of its advantages and to
'eave them without opportunity Of ed
ucation. The Court declared the act
unconstitutional.
In the course of the decision the fol-
loving language occurs
But the next ground alleged is mat
ter of which we IL ust take notice, to-wit,
that the act establishing the graded
schoo! discrlminates in Its provision
against one race and In favor OF the
other. If this is SO, it is in violation
of article X. Section 2 OF thu Constitu-
ion, which provides as follows: "And
the children OF the white race and the
children Of the colored race shall be
taught in separate public schools; but
there shall be no discrimination in IA
vor. OF, Or to the prejudice OF either
race J'1atis, one white child OF the
school age shall nave the same amount
Of money per capita as colored child,
and no more; and the colored child
shall have the same amount per capita
as any white child, and no more that
both races shall have equal opportunl-
ties for an education, SO Tar as the
public money il concerned.
We understand that this utterance is
IN the nature Of an obiter dictuIn, and
that it stands not as the opinion Of the
Court-the Court not having passed on
this matter particuIarly-bnt as the
opinion of Chief Justice Furches, who
writes the decision.
But its presence in decision OF the
Court is Of course highly significant.
1t at least raises question on Il point
# great Importance and at a time when
Is effect will be most iar-reachlng.
We are IN campaign Tor local taxa
ton. That campaign will be stalled,
we fear, until it shall be made clear
hat The free school funds will not be
divided per capita. For to divide them
Der capita will enable the schools !or
negroes to run longer than the schools
Tor whites, since the schools for negroes
t.un more cLeaply. SO lar from being
lust, this amounts to . Discrimination
against the white children.
This being so, we cannot expect the
white people to increase the school
funds in any way.
The demand Tor a remedy Is impera-
i've ard urgent. We should like to
see the real question IN the utterance
If Justice Furches considered by the
Court. If the decision OF the Court
shall accord with his opinion then We
nave only Ole recourse, namely,-to
,mend the Constitution, SO that each
own OR township shall be required
,nly 10 mzinta:n the schools for each
ace four months each year and to add
section permitting each race to tax
IS mem be:s and to apply those taxes
IS it shall choose.
At the present We are left in disas-
rcus confusion.
