unhappy victim. But If he knew that
every blow he deals will be repaid him
with the singing lash. he would stay his
hand for he is essentially a coward,
physically as we'll as morally and men,
tally.
1t does not need the experience of Della
ware to convince the observer of this
sort of man that the whipping post will
be an effectual deterrent to the Wife
beater.
To the objection that flashing degrades
the criminal it may be replied that there
are no lower depths of degradation pos
sible to the beast who will strike his
wife. If the whipping moves him at all.
therefore, it must be in an upward direc-
ton Nor can it be truly said that such
punishment is shocking to the public
morals for it too exactly suits and salts
fies the public sense of justice.
Let us give the whipping-post trial.
If it works we'll with wife-beaters. as
it undoubtedly will. it's operation can
then be extended to other persons guilty
of crimes based upon brutality.
Despite all this. the arguments against
the whipping post have not yet been
answered and probably cannot be.

FOLLOWING FALSE LEADERS.

Great Falls Leader: The labor repre-
sentatives in the state legislature are
just beginning to understand that they
have followed false leaders and that they
have been given what might be termed a
cold DEAL" There is no doubt but what
the democrats could not have elected Il
single man in any county had it not been
for the labor vote, which they courtel
and to which they made promises, but
the present situation of these men must
certainly be eXasperating to them. AT
tiny rate, they have been treated in such
a way that they have formed their la 1t
alliance with the democracy, and. while
they thought they We're gaining some
thing, they have in reality been obliged
to see the democracy take everything
that there was in sight. The members of
the labor party are largely, of course. TO
blame for the conditions that have been
obtained, and the rank and file have
commenced to see it.

more insiStent. more and more denuu-
ciatory. more and more determined to
thWart the president before it is too late.
The latest proposal of persons thus
disposed is that congress adopt a joint
resolution to apply to the Philippines
similar in terms to that adopted con-
corning Cuba. An effort is being made
to get up a petition to present to con-
gress asking for the adoption of such a
resolution. Probably this petition will
secure some signatures: most petitions
do. whatever their nature. But the
adoption of such a resolution would be
an act of unspeakabe folly. without
Justification or excuse. calculated to do
harm beyond estimate both to the ma
tives of the Philippines Islands and to
the United States. The effect of such
resolution on the antives would be to
plunge them at once into the midst of
political problems and enterprises
which it is necessary to their well-being
that they be permitted and assisted to
avoid: the effect upon the United States
would be to tie the country's hands. at
the same time removing not one parti-
Gle of it's International and insular re.
sponsibilities.
Such policy as this ought not to be,
probably will not be, considered for one
serious moment. The way in the Phil
ippines is clearer today than it has been
at any other time since the victory Of
Manila bay. There is every reason to
believe that the passage of the Spooner
bill. now proposed as an amendment 10
the army appropriation bill. will pave
the way to general pacification and es-
Establishment of civil rule. II there is a
reasonable complaint against the rigors
Of a purely military policy. this is the
way to obtain relief from it.-New York

FOLLY ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES.

The ultimate success of a rational and
common sense policy in the Philippines
is gradually becoming apparent. The
beneficial effects of the changing of Ger
tain localities from military to civil con-
troll are becoming more and more et;-
dent all over the islands. and Just now
at least. the fashion among the Fill
riros seems to be taking on a pacific
aspect All this is encouraging. 1t is
not likely that civil rule. once establish
ed on a proper foundation and continued
long enough to be understood. would he
disturbed by any further general ont 1
break. The worst that has to be dealt
with in the Philippines is native dis
trust, born of ignorance partly and
partly the result of careful propagation
by persons who ought to know better
With the daily lesson of justice ad-
ministered by civil officers, it is not; like
L. that such distrust will long survive
1t is. of course. much less likely to sur
vlve under a civil government than un-
der military however ably and hon
estly the military government may be
administered.
Under these circumstances the best
which could happen to the Filipinos
would be pacitication. quiet and indus
trial development. To attain these it is
not alone necessary to smother out the
last smouldering fires of insurrection; it
is necessary also to induce the Filipino
to return to the pursuits of peace, to
give up agitation and politics" and de-
vote himself to the opportunities of adj
vancement offered him by the new con.
oitions of his life. AS the possible at
tainment Of at least some of these aims
comes into view. it is not in the least
surprising that those who have bitterly
opposed the policy of our government in
the Philippines should become more ana

The result Of Italy's census. the first
one taken in twenty years, has proved
a big surprise. During the twenty years
since the last report, the country has lost
over 5000, 600 people through emigration
to America. and the highest estimate
made on the present population was 81
OOo,o 900. Yet this report shows that Italy
now has a population of So. 900 0O0 which
is only 1000, 900 less than France. The
conditions prevailing in the two coun-
tries have been just the opposite during
the twenty years. France has prospered
as never before, yet it's population has
been almost at a standstill though there
has been little emigration. Italy. on the
other hand, has more poverty than any
other nation of Europe and yet has made
a phenomenal gain in population. 1t is a
striking illustration of the truth of the
old lesson that the poor invariably null
tiply more rapidly than the prosperous.

THE DIVORCE LA VS..

There i in Illinois a sensible statute
which requires the judges of the state
courts to report each year to the supreme
court such suggestions with regard to
defects in the Illinois laws as the trial
of cases may have suggested.
Judge Gibbons. of the superior court
of Cook county, recently sent in his re-
port. and it is particularly interesting
as touching upon the divorce evil in Chi
cago REGARDING that matter Judge Glib
bons said:

prevails Here is nothing less than legal
lied concnbuage. am not an alarmist,
but l do say that our present divorce
law must necessarily result in the de-
basement Of public morals. | should
amend the law 50 as to permit an abso-
lutte divorce only for infidelity and i'm
potency. 1t is the mecca Of all the mis-
mated portion Of the human family to
seek solate in free love. If a man be-
comes dissatisfied with his Wife. or a
wife prefers another to her husband.
here he %. she applies for divorce with
out much danger Of its being refused If
the legislature should not be prepared
to so as far as ! suggest it ought to be
a misdemeanor for tie guilty party to re-
marry either in this state or elsewhere
within a certain number of years of
the granting Of the divorce.
Judge Gibbons also touched upon the
employment of convicts, suggesting that
in Chicago they be put to work at re-
claiming the lake front and required to
work 10 hours a day: that elsewhere in
the state they be employed in breaking
stone and preparing material for ma
cadam roads.
The work of the grand jury, Judge
Gibbons thinks, should be limited to
cases in which imprisonment in the pen-
tertiary is the penalty. and says:
Experience has convinced me that more
than tWo-thrds Of the time of the court
and jury is occupied in the trial Of mis-
demeanors. To economize county eK-
penses is not the only reason why make
these suggestions Witnesses should not
be dra eyed from their business day after

trate second to appear before the grand
jury and third before the trial court.
