NEWSPAPER OPINION

From the New York Journal
In the State of Delaware they put up
United States senatorships at auction
and fog 14-year-old boys in public for
stealing perfumery.
Four years ago Johnny Aucker. then
10 years old, picked up bag OF bones,
valued at 8 cents. in a lot For this
the State of Delaware took three
years of his life through a sentence TO
Ia reform school This made him liable
to punishment as an 'incorrigible
criminal" when he and another boy
took the box of perfumery from a for
gotten freight car. Then he was sem
fenced to ten lashes on the bare back.
Delaware prides itself upon its con-
lservatism. A certain amount Of con-
lservatism is a good thing, but COM
immunity that clings to all the outgrOwn
barbarities Of the past simply because
they are old gives itself a reputation
| that is not desirable. When the whip
lping post was established in Delaware
lit was in general use throughout the
Iother colonies and in Europe. But at
THAT time it was in harmony with the
general scheme of things. 1t was a

their enemies. when persons refusing
TO plead in courts of justice were
lpressed to death with sharp stones
under their backs. when the law pun

J stake for petty thefts.

GROSS ExAeGERATloN

In another column we reprint an
editorial from the New York Journal
on the uses and abuses OF the whip
ping post in Delaware. It is in keep
ing with the well-lnOwn character OF
that paper for gross misstatement and
distortion of fact.
10 begin with, the people OF Della
ware do not put up United States
senatorships at auction. On the con-
trary, for eleven years they have re-
sisted successfully the man who pub
licly declared that he proposed TO buy
a senatorship, and who has attempted,
time and time again, to carry out his
project. SO much for that part OF the
New York journals senseless ranting.
For long time the p, w. & b. Rail-
road Company had been annoyed by a
gang Of burglars who, night after
night, broke into freight cars on the
sidings in the West Yard Detectives
were detailed TO put a stop to the de-
predations. and after many nights of
Watching they caught three boys, and
two others escaped. The grand jury
ignored the bill in the case of one of
the boys. The two indicted pleaded
guilty and were sentenced TO be whip
ped with ten lashes by a court which
always is prone to exercise it's Glenn
ency when there is the least ground
for it. The lashes were laid on light
| ly; there was no drawing Of blood, nc
fainting, or any of the other features
set forth in the disgusting exaggera.
tions Of the New York Journals news
land editorial libels. Many a boy, OF
that same day. received punishment
much more severe at the hands of an
lgry parents.
The boy who was sentenced to tn
? reform school four years ago was al
incorrigible in every sense of tn
5 word, and ne and his relatives and tn
e public at large are the better for tn
T. restraint and discipline under whic
he was placed, for that school is main
