The proposition advanced by the cattle
growers of Texas. recently assembled in
convention at Fort Worth, that the most
rigid inspection of cattle intended for in
terstate or foreign expectation should be
continued, and that there should be equally
effective laws for the protection of the
American people against the Importation
of adulterated or impure articles of food
from foreign countries. is one that must
commend itself to all fair minded people.
1t ought to have the favorable considera-
ton of Congress, as well. 1t is poor rule
that will not work both ways. If Euro
pean countries exercise the right to keep
out American pork and beef If found or
even alleged to be diseased or unwhole-
some,. they certainly should not complain
If America Is equally careful in guarding
the health and interests Of her own peo-
pie against foreign imposition. But
whether they are pleased or not should
make no difference. Neither should the
measure be regarded as a retaliatory one.
1t Is notorious that this country Is flooded
every year with ship load after ship load
of impure. adulterated and even injurious
edibles and drinkables, and the authorities
owe 1t to the public to correct the abuse as
quickly and thoroughly as possible.

In view of the recent action of the New
York state senate in passing the new Gerry
whipping post law. the paper by Mr. Ell
bridge L. Gerry, the author of the BILL in
the March issue Of the North American Re
view in answer to the question: Must we
have the cat-o'-nne tais?" is of unusual
interest. In this he states the object of
punishment to be to discourage the repeti-
ton of an offense either by an offender
or. as he says the old law books have it,
'by other evilly minded persons In like
manner offending" 1t Is not a retributiye
compensation for the injury inflicted nor is
1t intended solely to accomplish the indi-
vidual reformation of the offender. Mr..
Gerry goes on to point out that the aver
age criminal belongs to a class of persons
for whom a prison has few terrors; the
man of that sort in prison leads a purely
animal existence and in general he Is
quite satisfied with his condition. He has
been often known to commit crime anew
upon emerging from his cell in order to
return at once to what he considers his
normal state of existence. The author asks
whether. under such circumstances, some
other means in addition to Imprisonment
may be judiciously resorted to that would
tend to lessen the commission of crime He
speaks specially of crimes against children
such as Lord Coke says are not so much as
to be named among Christians, and shows
there has been startling. appalling in
crease of these uncomfortable offenses in
the city Of New York. In 1893 there were
there recorded forty-fve such cases, in
1904 f1fty-three cases, and the first month
Of 1895 indicates that on that basis there
will be seventy-two cases for the present
year.
Mr.. Gerry meets the argument that the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1895-03-14

revival of the whipping post is degrading
and barbarous by the assertion that moth
ing is more calculated to awaken in the
criminal a sense of appreciation of the
enormity of the offerse than direct argu-
nent applied to his person. The average
criminal, he says, Is more afraid of the
lash than of long term of Imprisonment
and he declares that there are many cases
on record of reformations caused by ju-
dcious applications of the whip as ancilla-
ry to the cell.
The Gerry law proposes to punish any
male person convicted of felony that re-
suits in the infliction of physical pain upon
the person of another by administering
strokes or lashes not to exceed forty in
number to be laid upon the bare back of
the convict within specified time by an
officer of the prison in which he is confined
in the presence of the warden and of
duly licensed surgeon. The court has the
right to adjust the number of lashes to the
physical condition of the convict and the
enormity of the offense. 1t is not to be
thought that any person can possibly be In
jured permanently or even seriously by
such punishment. 1t might be better to
provide for the appointment of small
boards of witnesses to make doubly sure
| that keepers shall not be brutal or abusive
In the discharge of this duty. If this pun
ishment should be adopted every precaution
should be taken to make it orderly. Public
whippings are not to be considered as
either desirable or effective. There Is that
element in men that causes any exhibition
of human sufferings to be immensely at
| tractive. There is bred in the minds of
| many of the spectators feeling of resent
ment against the law and its operation that
| counteracts much Of the good results Of the
punishment. Yet no corrective penalty
should be applied in secret. The presence
| of a few representatives of the unofficial
world would give to the proceeding GER
tain quality of publicity that would go very
| far toward accomplishing the good results
| that this law is designed to attain.
