CUMBERLAND, Mp, October 10, 1908.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Your comment on the McGilI case,
which, by the way, has attracted great
attention in Cumberland, is both wise
and timely.
Sooner or later the School Board has
got to face the question of corporal pun
lshment with some definite and decisive
action.
At present, while few teachers in
tiict such punishment, the majority do
not.
The result is DISASTROUS
Expulsion and suspension are poor
remedies for refractory conduct.
OF course, we will be met by the old
thread bare objection that many teach
erS are not fit to administer such pun
ishmeut.
How about all parents, guardians,
magistrates, judges:
Are they all fit?
AS matter of fact, is not all good
beset by some evil?
Must IA line of action be abandoned
because it is not perfect?
Even our great Protective Tariff is
believed to work some inequalities

TO the MINING JOURNAL.
Kindly allow me space in your valua-
BILE paper to express my views of mat
ter which concerns many of our people,
namely-a merchant of this town stands
indicted before the Court for violating
the Sunday law.
There is no doubt in my mind that
somebody is guilty of this offence, as
the law has been openly violated by
more than one.
This brings up phase of the matter
that should be looked into by the people
who have been busy securing evidence
against the violators of the Sunday law,
and the investigation should he followed
till the facts are thoroughly sifted out
| understand from IA reliable source
that the names of number of parties
who hal been seen purchasing goods in
a certain starc m tOwu-and when | say
goods | do not mean lCe-cream, but
cigars and candy whose names We're
sent to the States attorney, and who, it
was claimed, could not be found when a
summons was issued for them to appear
before the grand jury.
| also understand that the Summonses
We're returned to the States attorney
without having been served, as the pro-
posed witnesses could not be found.
| have been told also that some of
the witnesses wanted We're seen on the
streets every day the grand jury was in
session.
If these statements be correct, some
officer or officers have not performed
their duty.
Or if the summonses We're not issued
by the States attorney, then some eX-
PLANTATION should be coming from him.
My reason for making these state
ments is this-that while the party who
