an average CT about seven GEMS

&C Company came into control OF the
the producers often receivcd
as much as forty cents a pound. The

in all ether parts of the world with

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN
SCHOOLS,

Discussing the question Of corporal
punishment In schools in the columns
Of the Virginia Journal OF Education,
MIR. S. r. McCnesney. superintendent
Of schools Of Bristol. Va. says In
part:
when the child Is continually IN
fear of bodily punishment. he soon
becomes a sneak aud hypocrite and
looks upon the teacher az his natural
enemy. He regards his FELLOWSHIP
dents as fellow-subjects OF a tyrant,
and hence we find pupils under a
teacher OF that kind lying to shield
a fellow-criminal and doing other dis
honorable things to undermine the au-
thority Of the teacher. Instead or
being with the teacher and for good
government. he is against the teacher
and for anarchy. Now. I maintain
that this is seriously wrong: that this
attitude strikes at the very foundation
OF school government and at the very
foundation OF character.
This might do In some European
country where It takes almost one
half Of the population to govern the
other halt; but we cannot develop the
RICH, kind Of American manhood and
womanhood in an atmosphere OF this
kind. We cannot bring about senti.'
ment in q school Of this kind that

-rARiEf eEpIAM At WASHING
ps TON.

s tSN.
II IL impossible to find fitting terms
In describe the tariff situation al
Washington. Such words as bediam
and chaos are quite inadequate. Con-
frsion and disorder run riot In both
pclitical parties in beth houses OF
Congress.
About the only clear conclusions
which may fairly be drawn up to date
are that there are a great many legis-
iators at Washington styling them
selves Democrats who ought to be In
the Republican party. and lesser
number of Republican legislators who
belcug In the Democratic party. and
that the representatives, OF neither
party, taken az unit. are capable
OF lesislating for the broadcast public
good when a tariff bill is up for con-
alteration.
Present indications are that grab
bag methods are going to rule In the
wihd.up and that the new bill will
come forth In guise that will put
/. shame any crazy patchwork for
nation ever before presented to the
public view.
Az an example Of what the people
may expect, Representative Clark, OF
Florida. elected as a Democrat, on
Monday las, declared upon the floor
Of the House that If the Republicans
put into the tariff bill the protective
provisions that his people-the peo-
pie of his own district-wanted, he
would not care what else the bill con-
t&iued.
That amounted to q declaration that

Carnival night, which means so much

city, opened last night and those who
We're in quest of thrills found them in

Everything is just as it is promised on

hurry. 1t is then practically too late
to improve the bill. Therefore the
four republican conferees may fill in
sections and to suit themselves,
and the republican majority in both
houses will rush the bill through.
Outside of the condition l have
pointed out, the bill is little or no i'm
provement over the Payne bill so far
as the interests of the south and west
are concerned. The measure is drawn
in the interests of the New England
states throughout, raw materials be-
ing Disseminated against in favor of
the manufactured articles.
"The senate bill does not reduce the
tax on gloves, hosiery, and other arti-
cles. as many believe, but leaves them
just where they are in the present law.
The Payne bill had advanced the duty
on gloves and hosiery, and the senate
bill lops off the advance. The action OF
the democrats in lambasting these ad-
vances caused the concessions"

basis, by business men, and each de-
partment has a head that directs and
accomplishes. One is reminded of the
big circuses of the present day, and
when you are invited to see an animal
show you see a real animal show and
not an insignificant bunch of NANCY
animals that an enterprising boy might
collect in a good half day in the foot
hills. The animals are not penned up
in illy-ventilated dens to be looked at
and admired, but all have that sleek
well-fed appearance which indicates
proper care and each one has been
educated to appear in public, and to
do themselves credit as performers be-
lore discriminating audiences.
Last evening, after having listened
to the we'll balanced claims of not
over important publicity man, the
spirit of the carnival seized upon the
Statesman man and impelled him to in
spect the maze of myriad attractions
presented by the c. W. Parker Shows,
during the course of which visit
was paid to the wild animal circus
where he was taken in hand by Col
Onel Al. G.. Barnes, an exceedingly
pleasant gentleman, who might give
eXPresident Roosevelt, Jack London
and a few others, cards and spades
when it comes to animal stories. Space
will not permit to enumerate and des-
cribe every act. however, and if over
looking any one act; it is not for the
reason that it is not considered worthy
of mention.
An impressive act was that Of Nine.
Barnes and her riding lion, Nero, said
to be the only lion in the world that
has been taught to ride on the back
of a galloping horse This act Is all
the more remarkable when it is re-
called that the lion and the hose are
known to be arch enemies. The act
which for genuine novelty and unique
ness, most impressed the writer, was
that of the boxing kangaroo, Jeffries.
and during the time that this strange
creature was engaged in three
round boxing contest with his trainer
the intelligence and cunning he dis
played was truly wonderful His Of
fensive and defensive tactics would do
credit to many a general of the prize
ring. Another stunt equally as as
tonishing and quite as interesting was
