Beat Child Must Pay $1,000

Kansas City, Mo-, May l4.-Foster-
parents may administer corporal pun
ishment to children, but if that pun
ishment is excessively brutal the child
may recover damages.
That was the tenor of a decision by
the Kansas City Court of Appeals to-
day.
Lucille Dix. II years old, was suing
Elizabeth Martin, a farmers wife of
Cooper County, Missouri.
Lucille lived with her granparents
and went to the Martins to spend the
summer. Mrs. Martin, the testimony
showed, beat her SO severely that the
child's back did not heal for several
weeks.
Mrs. Martin raised the defense that
she was acting as ''foster-parent" to
the child. Judge johnson held that,
even granting that she was a foster
parent" the child was entitled to the
81, 600 verdict on account Of the ex-
cessive brutality Of the whipping.

The Price of Beets

In Michigan, where the manufac-
ture of beet sugar is ansimportant in
dustry, the State authorities have been
investigating the prices paid to the
farmers for beets in the State and
across the border in Ontario. The
result is interesting as comment on
tariffs as they used to be made.
The Michigan farmer, it was found,
Is paid @4.5O a ton for his beets, with
an additional sum for beets having a
sugar content above a certain per
cent. The farmer pays for his seed
and pays the freight. There is a
tariff protecting" the American
farmer from the blighting COMPETE
ton Of the farmers just across the St.
Clair River in the Dominion. II was
found, however, that the base price
for beets was exactly the sane on
each side and that the Canadian farm
er gets his seed free and pays no
freight The only offset for this ad-
vantage ID that no bonus is paid on
Canadian beets having a high sugar
..cOntent. The conclusion Of the in
yestigators was that the Canadian gets
= little better price for his beets than

THE PUBTIC'S INTEREST,

Out of the maze of statements ISSUED by the
wage settlement one thing standsaout clearly
the operators and operatives both seem to for
get that there Is a vast proportion of our popu-
laton Belonging to neither class and which Is
as much concerned over the outcome of the
quarrel as those doing all the talking State.
ment after statement is issued by the trainmen
and counterblasts come regularly from, the rail-
roads and through it all seems to run the idea
that they and they alone are interested. Both
seem to think that the public is unconcerned
over the situation and that It makes little diff
ference to any but themselves how the question
f. settled or whether It ia settled ut all
The operators declare that they ccnnot pay
the increased wages demanded by the train
men. The trainmen declare that the railroads
will not arbitrate Efforts are made TO bring
them together at the White House for con-
ference and the trainmen cody declare that
they do not care to- attend any such conference
There is nothing to arbitrate, they affirm.
There Is something to arbitrate and whether
the opposing parties wish II or not It should
be arbitrated. The public is concerned about
the situation and II Is concerned just as much
as the railroads and Just as much as the EN-.
pioyes of the railroads. Out In Ohio there was
a strike of ice-wagon drivers and others, the
walk-out taking place In the midst of the heated
ice could be procured The authorities had
the revolutionary idea that no matter which
party to the controversy right and which
party was wrong, people had to have Ice and
the authorities proceeded to see that they go,

Some of these days such action this will
be the cause of no comment 1t will be the
expected. If employers and employees canno,
get together the city, State nation will step In
and operate things untn they can get together
Some Of these days the public will grow weary
of playing the part of innocent bystander In
Jured in the fracas.
Such drastic action may not be taken this
time. A general strike on all the railroads
in the East may be proclaimed and the public
may. usual stand by and watch the rail-
roads and their employees fight II out while the
public holds the bag 1t may happen this
time, we say. though there signs that IT
will not, but at no great distant time 1t will
be impossible Arbitration or public operation
until settlement Is reached is the inevitable
result OF strikes in the past and rumors OF
strikes in the future A few men have no right
to injure the public just because all OF them
or some OF them are unwilling to act fairly,
just because employers will not treat their EN-
ployes justly because employees demand more
than can be given them

Two weeks ago in a speech before the Mary

that these could and would be cut out with.
out injury TO general business, but rather 10 its

facts before him that the vast majority OF the
bankers of the country conscientious faith
full and sagacious and that they would be re-
leved and helped by the removal OF the reckless
ly managed, speculative and dishonest lnsti-
tutions. The closing OF a big bank at Pitts
burg, the conseauences-or absence of conse-
queensland the newspaper comment on the
event seem to prove the accuracy of Mr. VII.

In eighty-three cities and towns Many OF these
required continual financing done with the
money OF depositors of the bank 1t was one
of the most literal and complete cases OF watered
securities in the history of commerce.
No disaster has followed the closing of the
bank and It's associates and the receiverships for
Its dependencies. The country is not nervous.
Conditions sound and we are at hard pan
and on solid foundations. few years ago
such an occurrence would have sent tremor
through the country, caused profound shock and
scared everybody into fever and folly. AS It Is,
not even Pittsburg quivers. To the contrary
there is more strength and confidence, the
feeling that a weak and dangerous spot has
been taken away.
Almost daily evidence Increases the faith
among the business people that this present
administration intends to enforce honesty and
conservatism instead of giving itself to,radcalism
or extreme measures and while intent on
serving and protecting the public, 1T will avoid
harsh or drastic measures.
