This is fair specimen OF hundreds Of
ca.es that occur every year in this State.
Imprisonment has no terror for men like
Kerns; they are insensible to disgrace
aud do not regard free feeding and blank
els as a thing to be dreaded. They con
tinue their system of stunning work and
stealing what they want and accept oc-
casioual imprisonment as incidents in
their slothful and generally pleasant
lives.
When we reject that probably such
thieves are detected in only about fifth
of their crimes, that many Of them will
live scores of years at an annual cost to
the taxpayers of $50 or more and that
they steal and consume hundreds of dol.
lars more while producing absolutely
nothing, we can understand what tire
mepdous dra n they make on the resources
Of the country.
Tha remedy is easy. If Kerns, for
instance, knew that conviction of larceny
would cause him to receive from twenty
to forty lashes we'll laid ON his bare back
he would limit his thieying to the rare
opportunities when detection isapparent.
Iy impossible, and would work for his
bread. The punishment would be real
one, which he could feel and understand
and would dread. 1t would be ine1pen
sive and quick and, would deter other
thieves from stealing.
There is no valid objection to the use
IF the whipping post for criminals like
Kerns-certuinly no objection which can
Weigh against its advantages. Iudiscrim.
male whipping which would include
whipping women and men in bad health
would be brutal. But legal safe guards
c.n be devised to limit the use of the
lash to criminals physically able TO en-
dure it who cannot be controlled BY other
methods.
The restoration of the VIII. ping post
would save thousands OF do,ars every
year to the people of the State and d.
minish crime thirty per cent.-GreenviAe
