the session. He is named as chairman
of the committees on banks and banking
and the industrial home for boys, the

usual amount of work to do as mum.
Der of important changes are to be pro-
posed in the banking laws, while the
work of the latter committee will
appeal to Sen. Rosenkrans because OF
the fact that he served as a member OF
the board in charge of the school prey

District Must Furnish transportation

Corunna, Dec. 31-Judge Miner
in the circuit court Tuesday morning
caused to issue a warrant OF man
damus, compelling the school board
of Caledonia and Shiawassee fraction
al school district NO. II to furnish
transportation from that school to the
school in district No. 1, Shiawassee
township, for Ethel and Helen Dennis
young daughters Of George Dennis.
The case grew out of the alleged
fact that the statute covering this
matter, is not entirely clear. Tne
school board of the fractional district
together with the voters of that dis
trict, ordered the scnool closed, as
there were but two children to attend
II was also voted to pay the transpor-
tation expenses Of these two children
| to the nearest school in another dis
trict. but Just what this amount
should be was not definitely decided.
In his opinion Judge Miner declar-
ed that the board must either furnish
the money for the hire of horse and
buggy or provide the rig. 1t is be-
lieved that either plan will cost about
IS per week. The court expressed
the belief that the members Of the
school board were acting in good
faith in the matter, and he ordered
that no costs be assessed to them
He said the statute is not clear on the
subject, and declared that inasmucl
as Il is the policy of the government
to give all children education,
would not be proper to deprive these
two children Of means of reacaint

LAND SHARKS.

Wherever there develops an oppor- sunity for a certain class of real As- tate operators to misrepresent their holdings for the purpose of swindling trusting buyers, they are alert in inn proving it. Many are the instances where people have invested their hard earned money in land development schemes with attractive promises of fast increasing value, only to find the plots under water or in the center of a meadow on the far outskirts of some city. Canada has experienced this propositions to settlers. Without know ing the facts many from the east take the word of the agents as to the con- ditions, and are sorely disappointed upon making their investigation. Such operations are detriment to the le- gitimate real estate market and are deserving of punishment
 So long as such transactions are put down to experience. so long will the practice flourish. The remedy lies in the courts and a western Canada case has but recently been decided in behalf of the confiding buyer. who gets his money back and the annuI- ment of the agreement. All those who have experiences of a similar nature can do the most to discourage that kind of business by laying open the facts and showing the nisrepresen- tations. Land sharks are swindIers of the worst type undermining honest business and gaining great wealth from the class of people who are least able to lose it.

LET MEDIATION PREVAIL.

Mediation cannot start too soon for the adjustment of the trouble in the Balkans, if that war is to be ended without involving more countries than are already actively engaged therein. The acceptance by the allies and Tur- key of mediation means that the pow CTS will be entrusted with the adjust ment of the situation. The longer Turkey fights the less she has to de- fend and the fate of entire exclusion from Europe is faced if the continu- ance of the war is insisted upon. The allies are justified in most of their demands and the probability is that they will obtain them including the indemnity upon which they insist They have conducted a successful campaign against the Turkish stronghoIds and the oppression by the Ottoman empire which means better conditions Tn that country, and there should be no longer delayed than necessary in permitting these to start.
 The entrance of Austria into the trouble is only what has been threat ened through the war. Austria has manifested a jealousy of serxia which has not been concealed and her desire to profit in the way of new territory and also prevent Servia from gaining anything by conquest which would in terfere with her plan Of expansion has been an open secret Both countries have the backing of other powerful European nations in their activities but open rupture should be avoided with an adjustment of the trouble within sight. If the powers can see the situation impartialIy they will has len the mediation.

LIPTON'S ArEITIInE

Action of 8 nature to be expected was taken by the New York Yacht club when it declined the challenge of Sir Thomas Lipton for an fnterns- tional yacht race in 1914 wherein he stipulated that the length of the racers on the waterline should not exceed 75 feet It would have been surpris- ing had the challenge been accepted in view of the arbitrary conditions which were imposed by the famous Irish yachtsman. The action. while not a surprise here, ought not to be one to Sir Thomas when considera ton is given to the fact that it was in 1907 that a similar challenge was de- clined, the dimensions having been restricted therein, not being in accord ance with the deed of gift under which the cup is to be contested for.
 What effect the answer for a sec- ond time, will have upon the challenger is uncertain but if he is interested in making another try for the trophy he should promptly send on another chal- lenge in accordance with the r1lles and show himself the sport which he la 8 alway been declared.

not infreQuent intervals, and now the plan of converting Dwight hall into an Academic Union until such time as the University Union is built, has been proposed The first floor of this build ing, which is devoted, first of all, to the religious interests of the college con sists of a main reading room and four class prayer meeting rooms. The new plan is to convert this first floor into one large room or use at least two of the large side rooms and the main hall for this purpose. This use would fol- low out a plan that has been success fully carried out in Byers hall. the re- ligious center of the Scientific depart ment, and has made it real center in fact as well as in name. One of the most noteworthy features at Byers is a series of wood-fire talks given weekly during the winter by well known mem bers of the faculty on a variety of top ics. thus bringing to several hundred students weekly information and an faculty that could be gained rarely in as enjoyable a manner. Such plan is proposed for Dwight hall, to con- vert this part of the main floor of the building into social center where there are comfortable chairs and fur nishings, and where men may meet in- formally and bring their friends. In spite of some opposition. it seems pos sible that the plan may be carried into effect. While Yale today is not as bad
