What Flint, Michigan, Has Done.

What Flint, Michigan, Has Done.
Reference has been made in the
News of the accomplishments of the city
of.Flint, Michigan. A recent census
shows marvellous gains-showss what
good situation. and intelligent push
and vim will do for town.
A few years ago that town was ''on
the ragged edge so to speak. 1t was
making no hes wav ssandsssswas about
ready to start a ward. It.. seems
to be law of &c that it is impos-
sible longsto till.
Latterly tn of Flint began an
active canvas. industries got
them. Once the ball was rolling, they
came easily and more easily.
A recent census of the city indicated
between 5000 and 5000 hands employed
in industries and what is more strik-
ing-that the industries now being
erected will employ morei than 1900
hands.
Flint has certain advantages. Pro-
badly as many, and doubtless no more,
than Ladysmith. We are where mar
ket .and material meet-and that is
always the strategic point.
How about Ladysmith?
Ladysmith has done handsomely.
This city has had splendid growth.
It may well be proud of it's record.
And the Ladysmith News is confident,
emphatically so, THAT the future will
show growth to discount the past. Re-
cent achievements are but the forerun-
nefs of the future. All the elements
of the situation demand growth.
The Ladysmtih Commercial club and
every citizen has field Of usefulness
in this development. AS the News has
said before, we are making a record
are you in it? We have noted the work
of the recently organized Commercial
club and we are confident that nothing
will be left undone for the advance
ment Of the city's interests. We know
that much has already been done and
is being done.
Here is suggestion to other towns
Get together, form organizations to
push your towns to the front. 1t takes
some effort and a little cash-but it
pays dividends. The time is near at
hand when our water powers will be
harnessed and cheap power prevail to
be divided as demanded. In this legacy
of nature there is room for many good
towns. Go after the proposition.

Confession Of Murder.

Confession of Murder.
In an article on 'tUntrue Confessions
in the January Times magazine by Prof.
HugoMunsterberg ofHarvard. university
the startling statements made that con-
fession is by no means conclusive evil
dence of the guilt of the person making
it. Especially true is this in the case
of person charged with the crime of
murder. Prof. Munsterberg goes so far
as to say that in his scientific opinion,
Richard G.. Ivens, who was hanged in
Chicago last June on his own confession
of the murder..of woman, was an in
nocent man.
Prof. Munsterberg claims that this
young naan..was thrown into an hypnotic
state at the time of.his examination by
the police, and that his. confession was
the. result of auto-suggestion. The pro-
lessor cites cases of confession where
afterward the murdered persons re
turned to their homes, the confessed
murderer" meanwhile having been exc
cuted. He refers to the confessions in the
Salem Witchcraft cases, and says that
these must have been cases of auto
suggestion.
What so scientific a man as Prof.
Munsterberg has to say about the unre-
liability even of that evidence which the
accused furnishes against himself in
capital cases is an additional argument
of great weight against the inf1iction of
capital punishment which forever re-
moves the possibility of rendering just
ice to those who may have suffered I'M

URGE new WHARF
ALONG RIVER
Board Of Trade Asks Council
TO Take Up the
Subject

After considerable discussion by the
members Of the navigation and transpor-
tation committee Of the Board OF Trade
on the river front wharf subject, the
committee last night recommended to
City Council that wharves and piers be
built. The accommodation is embodied in
this resolution:
THAT the navigation and tIanspor a.
tion committee of the Board of Trade
favors the building of wharves and piers
on the Delaware river and that City Coun
Gil be asked 70 ascertain the best point at
which such pier and wharves could be
located, to ascertain the cost Of construcr-
ing the same and that the committee
favors the construction of a river front at
the expense of the city of Wilmington. or
Wilmington, and Of the railroads and troll
ley systems leading to the same"
The secretary Of the trade board was in
structed to take the matter up with the
Street and Sewer Department to ind out
what streets along the river the city hae
title to and which could be opened or
purchased should it eventually be decided
to establish whaves and piers at this
point.
Clement H. Lppincott, William Lawtoa.
A. d. Warner, Captain Philip Reybold. +.
II. Melvin, ]. H. Wright and r. J. Mac
lean. took part in the discussion. Mr.. War
ner was the only speaker who thought
the plan could not be carried out.
He said he believed it to be the most un-
likely proposition ever presented TO the
people of the city Of Wilmington. TIE
ground along the river front, he said, is
not suited for the building Of houses rs
it is unhealthy. It would be impossible TO
induce foreign steamships to stop there.
In stormy weather a boat would have a
difficult time getting into a dock where
the river is so open and the proposition
had been tried before and had failed.
He said the project was III advised.
The other speakers took the opposite
view. They favored the city building
the piers and the wharves. 1t was Mr..
Lawton's idea to build a pier 1900 feet into
the river from land 10 he owned by the
city. The benefit to be derived by she city
would be incalcuabls. he declared. All tce
speakers were enthusiastic in their ad-
vocacy of the river front wharf.
