The Whipping Post
BETTER MEANS OF PREVENTING CRIME
AND MORE HUMANE THAN LONG
IiPRIsoNMENTs.
Washington Correspondent

Washington Correspondent
Mr.. Editor:
You will please allow me brief
SPACE for some remarks III support
OF the above proposition.
"And it shall be, if the wicked
man be worthy to be beaten, that
the judge shall cause him to lie down
and to be beaten before his face, ac-
eording to his fault, by certain
number. "-Deut. 25-2.
The following Potter g. Co.'S.
Bible) accompanies the above:
at is remarkable fact that for
the more effectual prevention of
certain crimes, most experienced
magistrates and Legislators of this
century have felt compelled to
adopt the Mosaic punishment of
whipping" ..
Punish a man lightly and turn
him loose, and he will have some
chance to reform. But long con-
finement, with hardened criminals
will be apt to make him ten fold
worse. In proof of this I will state
that, not long ago | noticed, from
statement Of some newspaper
relative 70 Wells, Fargo & Co.'S
express that during the twelve
months next preceding, they had
been robbed, in roand numbers
of some SSs, 900, and had expended
some $4,000 in apprehending and
convicting the criminals.
Out of some twenty, thus appre-
hended and convicted some twenty
two were old jail birds. An appli-
cation of the whip soon after said
parties embarked into crime would
probably have saved them.
Stand firm, little Delaware, some
Of your larger sisters will probably
soon find it necessary to resort to
the whip as the best method of
preventing crime.
Capital should not be made out |
Of crime, therefore penitentiaries
should be abolished anil no more |
built.
First, try the whip lightly, and
i it fail to have the desired effect
which is not often the case, come
lown y little harder, for the second
Buff the criminal still
continue in the path of crime, there
1eingno signs of reformation, break
his neck, and lay him away.
Society can do better better with
'ut all s'lch people.
