THE
The Treatment OF Wife, heaters Dis-
cussed Edi orlaiiy.

cussed Edi orlaiiy.
The Washington Post is a warm adj
vocate Of the whipping post for wife
heaters. and halls with approval the
occasional demand for It's use. In a
recent editorial the following remarks
are made: 1t has been commanded by
wise and humans men and by benevo-
lent organizations of thoughtful and
progressive men and women to the
legislatures of a number of states, in
GLIDING New York. But up to this
date Maryland Is the only state of the
Union In which the lash for the wife
heater has statutory sanction. II we
except Delaware. whose whipping post
is at the service of a variety OF Offend
ers. In that state the Jogging, instead
Of being the only penalty, Is In addi-
ton, and often q cruel one. to other
methods of punishment. II Toes not
take the place Of imprisonment, and
thus save the taxpayers the cost of
feeding and sheltering and guarding
culprits and at the same time, giving
them freedom to work for the support
of their dependents. II simply supple
ments the sentence that is customary
elsewhere with a flagellation. This.
like several other Della ware institu-
tons. is i~ndefensible. The latest and
one Of the loudest demands for the
whipping post for wife-beaters comes
from the good old county OF Berks. in
the state of Pennsylvania. The magis-
trates of that county. at a recent meet
ing In Reading. unanimously resolved
that the adoption of the whipping
ers would be a proper means Of lessen
ing this inhuman practice" The mem
bers Of the magistrates association
pledged themselves to exert their in
fluence in all proper ways to get a
whipping post law passed by the legis-
lature-a whipping post for wife-beat-
ers only-and the last to be the entire
punishment, not a vengeful annex to
the regular penalty. 1t is the opinion
of the Post that nothing but a whip
ping will appeal to the fears of the
wife-beater, and says that thousands
Of such brutal husbands are found
among the immigrants that yearly
crowd into this country, and nothing
but such a punishment will prevail, as
the common Jail fare and treatment is
luxury and ease to them. Common
sense dictates the lash to the Wife
beaten" says the Post. 1t is a nice
question. 1t Is undoubtedly true that
many immigrants are persons not
amenable to reason and recognize only
brute force, but that Is believed by
many to 5e most demoralizing.
