A SMALL PIECE OF BUSINESS
Ishpeming Correspondent OF Mining Journal
Robs Beltrand Flood Of His Victory.

Robs Bertrand Flood Of His Victory.
The report sent to the Marquette
Mining Journal by its Ishpeming cor.
respondent last Saturday was piece Of
petty journalistic lying. The said
correspondent deliberately robbed
Flood of his victory over the two crack
bowlers of Ishpeming by big headlines
that belied the scores printed elsewhere
in -the article. The headlines read
rDobbs Defeats Crack Crystal Falls
Bowler" and in the body OF the article
the statement is repeated with the ad-
dition that Dobbs victory was by n
score of 56-pins
The score Of the Dobbs- Flood contest
which was mixed in with lot of other
scores was as follows
Dobbs 1853 1914 104 Total 5l1.
Flood 1888 I0l 1873 Total SGT.
This score was the only correct part
OF the article for Flood not only de-
feated Dobbs hut did 1t after ne had
defeated Saline. rated as next 60 Dobbs
among Ishpeming's bowlers. by score
OF over 100 pins. Dobbs was sure that
he could beat Flood and insisted In
waiting for his favorite alley. No. 3,
keeping Flood from accompanying the
basket ball team on one Of Its visits.
Those who saw the contest say that
Dobbs has big case Of 'swellvd head
and when Flood tipped him over the
kids about town got after him and kid
ded him numerically. Flood rs but
10 years old and his bowling against
the fellows OF older years is remark
able.
We hope that our Ishpeming bowlers
will show more sportsman blood in
their veins next time and not try TO
rob hoy Of his victory.

SIXTEEN CENTS A FOOT
Property Within Two Squares of
Pennsylvania Ave

Sixteen cents foot for ground with
in two squares of Pennsylvania avenue
at Washington Circle is the rather re-
markable price in transaction that was
recorded during the past week. The lot
has the same dimensions as when it was
laid out more than one hundred years
ago. under the direction of the first
President of the United States. At the
present time it is not improved. and it is
probable that it has lain in that condi-
tion during the century and more since
it was changed from a portion of a to-
bacco field into a city lot.
The immediate surroundings in the
square of which it has been a part dur
ing this long period have not been altered
much, although in one part is one Of the
immense holders of the Washington Gas
Light Company that, by the purchase of
this lot on the south side of II street be-

Rallies Tramways.

From the Pittsburgh Chronicle.
An innovation calculated TO cheaper
materially the cost of trolley car systems
is the railless tramway now on trial In
the Scotch city of Dundee. There are
no tracks, the cars having control over
the full width of the roadway TO pro-
vide a complete circuit for operating puf-
poses. two trolley poles are used and the
overhead equipment is of the usual KIND
The cars are comparatively light, weigh
ing only three and one-half tons. ana they
accommodate only twenty-eight passen-
gers. The cost of construction per mile
is thus reduced to One-tenth or that or
an ordinary street railway.
To what extent the use of such cars
may be feasible remains to be demon
strated Their chief availability, 1T may
he presumed. would be on well-paved
streets within city limits. In suburban
districts on macadamized roads the wear
and tear would necessarily be severe and
the comfort of travel would be impaired.
The reduction of cost. however, is so
great that. If the device works we'll in
Dundee, its extension to other places on
the largest possible scale is certain and
it's introduction into the United States
may be reckoned a strong probability.
The cheapening of transportation sys-
TENS is just much of a desideratum
on this side of the Atlantic as it is in
the land O. cakes.

On Beating Children.
By Err. FRANK CRANE.

good while. It is a comfortab BILE lodging

We enjoyed our minds there, except on
Sundays, when some workman, who lived
across the wall, would regularly get
drunk and beat his children. 1 can hear
the shrieks of those innocents yet in my
sleep, and it has been some months since
l left.
And now comes a professor of the
Teachers College who presents a report
saying: In our judgment the regulation
totally forbidding corporal punishment
is unwise. So long rs ii exists many an
unruly child will attempt TO take adVan-
tage of it, and thsu cause trouble that
would not otherwise be.
There is another and better way,

teachers competent by natural gifts and
training to lead children and not to beat
them.
Which leads me to a few animadver-
sions re child-beating:
NV general position may thus be stated: :
I have no objection to the act of spank
ing a human being-that is. to the per-
Torrance itself. Only l think it is the
parent or teacher that should be spanked.
First, he is better able to stand it. His
tissues are mature. His growth is not
liable to be stunted his eyes put out and
his hearing destroyed by cuffs admins

Second, he needs 1t. The child does not.

Locality Accounts for Price.

The character of the locality, of course.
accounts for the price, and it is in keeping
with quite a recent instance where a large
corner lot at 25th and f. streets was
transferred for a consideration of % cents
per square foot. 1t is not a residence
section, although right on the edge of
one.
A short distance from the west of this
property is 9th street, which passes
along the river front. where wharves are
located and quite a good deal of the
river trade is carried on, especially in
building materials. Here is, located a
street paving plant and in the vicinity
are two large breweries. A more ade-
quate explanation of existing conditions
is found in the proximity of the Potomac
flats region, which has only in compara ra-
lively recent years been transformed
from noisome and unwholesome swamp

where as rule in cities there is not
much to be found that is attractive in the

PANAMA CANAL TOLLS.
W-THE DISPUTE IN CONGRESS-
By Frederic J. Haskin.

it is asserted by Senator Root that If
We have our coastwise traffic England
also has hers, and that to exempt our
coastwise shipping from tolls and not to
exempt that of England and other coun-
tries is a violation of the treaty. He re-
minds the country that We once had the
we protested so vehemently that Canada
receded from its position. Under the
treaty of 1871, which gave to the ship
owners of Canada and the United States
equal treatment in the canals of the two
countries, Canada. which had fixed
toll of 20 cents ton on freight, RENTED
Is cents a ton on all freight destined to
Montreal and beyond, thus leaving but
. cents ton on Canadian coastwise
shipping. while charging the full 20 cents
on American shipping. President Cleve-
land figuratively' jumped on Canada with
both feet, saying in message to Con-
gress that for Canada to promise equal
ity and then in practice make it condi-
tional upon our vessels doing a Canadian
business instead of their own is to full
fill a promise with shadow of perform
ance.
Those who combat this view cite the
Bartlett article In the English Law Mag
azine and Review of London. This emf
nent writer asserts that vessels following
coastwise trade never have been placed
on an equality with those engaged in COM
merce with foreign nations. nor could
they be without violating national laws
or the inherent right Of a nation to con-
troll its domestic shipping.
He says that the practice of restrict
ing domestic commerce to American yes
