Herbert Spencer has chronicled
this fact: "Wives in England were
bought from the fifth to the eleventh
century, and as late as the seven-
teenth century. Husbands of de-
cents station were not ashamed to beat
their wives. Gentlemen arranged
parties of pleasure for the purpose
of seeing wretched women whipped
at Bridewell. 1t was not till 1917
that the public whipping of women
was abolished in England"

THE SPEAKERSHIP.
HOW THE ASPIRANTS STAND AT
THE PRESENT TIME.
Four-Fifths Of the Democratic Com
gressmen i'm Washington Ex-
press Their Prefer
ellces.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The speakership
contest today shows increasing activity
and it is evident to all that crisis is rap
idly approaching. Gossip is no longer di-
rected SO much to relating claims of candi-
dates as to speculation regarding the prob
able Withdrawal of weaker aspirants AT
the various headquarters Of the five
candidates this morning, it is conceded
from present indications with every man
remaining in the field, no nomination will
be possible onthe first ballot With four
fifths of the democratic congressman in the
city this morning indefinite claims are no
longer possible, since nearly every man is
now quite free to express his preference for
his fayorte candidate. The relative posi-
tions Of the various candidates at the pres
ent writing seem to be as follows: Crisp
first; Mills, second; Springer third; Nc
MILAN fourth and Hatch, fifth.
Strenuous efforts are being made today
to effect withdrawal of certain minor
candidates, by working disintegration in
their forces. Only in the candidacy of
Springer have there been any disquieting
evidences of possible disintegration. The
Iowa delegation, which up TO this
time, has been unfaltering in its allie
glance to Springer, this morning met
again and expressed It's individual and col
Elective preference for Springer, but decided
that should events indicate that Crisp
might be nominated on the first ballot the
vote of the entire delegation would be
thrown to Mills, at the conclusion
of the first ballot. To prevent that
result Representative Hayes, spokesman
of the delegation, said to an associated
press reporter: eve desire it understood
we are for Springer just as long as there is
possibility Of his election. We are unani-
nous and will vote as a unit. Should it
become evident between now and the date
Of the caucus that Crisp is likely to be nom
mated on the first ballot, we will even up
on the initial ballot and castour vote solid
ly for Mills to prevent such result. We
will do this because we are convinced the
sentiment of the great northwest is for
Mills as opposed to Crisp"
