Elementary report from the Superintendent of the PEN

"There is one fact disclosed in the supplementary
Report, extraordinary in ITSELF and SO honorable to
the white female population of this State that deem
my duty to make honorable mention of it the Gen
era Assembly, and thus to afford opportunity of its
becoming ultimately known to the whole civilized
world 1t s that for the last four years. but one white
woman has been convicted of Pententiary offence
within the Commonwealth of Virginia, and ii appears
that only two white women have been confined in the
population of Virginia, exceeds 100000 souls. How
small the number of convcts particularly of the white
female population, compared with the aggregate popu-
laton How wonderful the fact that only one white
woman has been convicted of Penitentiary offence
within the last four years!
From the usually small number of convictions, com
pared with the whole population, presumption might
arise, that there nattenton, laxty in the adj

observation upon that point since came into Office
am satisfied that the fact is otherwise and recently
several calls upon the Executive for revisons and par
dons, have exhibited indications which induce me to
fear, that the penal laws were in some few instances
executed more in rgor than in Justice This most ia
vorabe general result of the small number of conyc-
tons, compared to the whole white populations is rem

DELAWARE REGISTER.
WILMINGTON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1928.

In the course of the last week or two we have read
accounts of twenty thirty persons having been dan
gerousy wounded or killed by the accidental discharge
of fire arms. In loaded gun was dischar
eed by little fellow scarcely old enough to hold it,
and boy of six years old fell victim to the unpar
donabe negligence of placing loaded within the
reach of children Many of the accidents occurred
on cunning excursions. IT'S pity that so many warn
ngs have so little effect.
WILLIAM B. GILES has been reelected, by the Lee
gislature, Governor of Virginia. His Message is
well written and very interesting document He re-
commends at considerable length and in able man
ner, the adjustment of Imprisonment for debt, and
that such notifications should be made in the laws as
would insure to the creditor the faithful delivery of all
the property of his debtor except the beasts of the
plough and the necessary implements of the debtors
calling. We should be glad if this subject would en-
gross the attention of the Legislature of Delaware
Here as in Virginia and some other States, the debtor
may be stripped of every thing he possesses his fam
lily may be left without bed to lie upon the last loaf
of bread may be taken from his children even his
Bible may be sold and his working tools taken from
IN all conscience, is enough to break down the spirit
of an unfortunate man, to make him curse the day of
his birth, and to doubt that he is in christian land
and that christian and christian laws are dealing
with him. In State, the creditor gains nothing by
ncarceratng his VICTIM for in prison he is an idle and
unpToductlve man, whilst the family of the prisoner
perhaps suffer all the distress and misery incident to
pnchng poverty and either become tenants of poor
house, or are thrown the charity of world whose
crying sin is not by any that of being over-much
benevolent. We may be told that man may, by the
bases hypocrisy, obtain credit and turn out an arch
Vlaln and deserve mercy at the hands of those he
has deceived and wronged. Grant it. But let not the
wife and children of even such a man be totally de-
pved of the necessares Of life, because of the rogue
fy OF husband and father. The law could certainly
be so modified, and leave it to the superior wisdom
OIL our Legislators TO arrange it, as to discriminate
between the unjust and the unfortunate debtor. 1t is
indeed hard case and one of no unfrequent occur
renee, that debtor who has been unfortunate but still
retains his integrity, and is disposed and anxious to
pay his debts should be rendered unable to carry his
good designs into execution, by being deprived by the
law, OF all the means whereby he might effect them

pay you all" But the law barbarous relic of the
