A New YORK judge in sentencing a
felon yesterday, said that it was "too
bad that the whipping.post is not in
vogue. II it we're | would certainly have
you publicly whipped as yen really de-
serve"
At meeting of the representatives OF
charitable organizations in Chicago,
President John q. Shortall of the Illinois
Humane Society, observed that criminals
have no relish for the whipping post and
are more likely to be restrained by it
than by imprisonment.
These two eminent gentlemen are
right. Delaware today cs more to the
whipping post than it does to the exis.
tence of its jais Crime is held in re-.
straint in this State by the whipping
post more than punished.
Noted burglars have ascribed their
non-appeafance in Delaware to the dread
OF this awful instrument of tarture.
Delaware's ''old blue laws in at least
this one particular seem to be regaining
favor in the other States in the Union
and the near future may witness ma.
tions adoption of Dplaware's whipping
post and perhaps the pilory.

Our Relations With the Old Worl d

Great as our glorious Republic is, and
made more vast, terrllorially, by our
Colonial acquisitions, We must not over
look the fact that there are other great
nations in whose GOings We are vitaIIy
interested bv all the ties that bind COM
mer"ial countries
Their great distance from US and the
magnitude III our own domain are calcu-
lated to make us overlook the value of
their social and business relations.
To say nothing of the frequent shift
ings OF the political dramas which NAV
change the destinies of nations, we may
recall our enormous interchange of trade
and commerce, with, happily just now,
the balance of trade in our favor and the
yellow gold from abroad flowing in a
steady stream into our coffers 1t is to
the vast markets of the old world that
our farmers must look to transform their
golden grain into golden eagles; from the
same sources we receive orders for our
factory and other products which help
to keep our wheels of industry hum
ming merrily, and 20 the foreign de.
mands for our cotton are due the re-
markable prosperity that prevails
tnrouRnOut tie SOiltn.
And then We must not forget the sup
plies we are compelled, by the demands
of modern civilization, to draw from our
neighbors over the seas. Not to speak of
the rare and rich fabrics and the thous.
and an one articles of use and orna.
ment that Great Britain and Continental
Europe send to us in exchange for our
exp 'rts, we are extensive traders with
far away China, japan, India and even
Africa, and the field is broadening all the
time.
1t is indeed an endless chain of indus
trv and its links are being added to and
strengthened every day. Knowing all
this we need offer no apology for surren-
dering the necessary space, each week
to keep the readers Of The Sunday SUN
posted on all the important and interest.
ing topics that make up the lives of our
neighbors over the seas.

THE Board of Trade will banquet the
Hon. George Gray when he returns t.
Delaware from Paris. This banquet
should be unparalleled in the history OF
banquets in Delaware. George Gray is
an honor t. every Delawarean. He rep
resents Delaware and Delawareans and
were it not for George Gray in Congress

1t is unfortunate that Senator Gray
will not be in Washington At the open.
ing OF Congress. The absence of Senator
Richard R. Kenney will not be noted 60
much, as mis- presence would not convey
an unusual credit on this State. Senator
Gray's voice always demands the re-.
spectful attention Of his colleagues in the
Senate chamber and also the ear Of the
Administration.
