Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 12.-There will
be nc whipping post in Missouri for two
years at least. Hams of Saline introduced
such a measure, secured a favorable report
from the Criminal Jurisprudence Commit
tee, and this afternoon. after a hard debate,
was forced to see it killed by a vote Of Is
toss.
When the bill was called up, members
began s~troiling back into their seats. Mr..
Hams simply remarked that the COMMITTEES
had given it q favorable report and that II
should be sent to engrossment.
Doris of Oregon opened the fireworks
against 1t by stating that the measure was
a step backwards and a relic of barbarism.

asked If the measure applied to watermelon

that whipping posts would be a saving to

Tichacek Of st. Louis got back from home
to-day and entered into the FRAY in a way
which brought applause. Were they not
more honest go years ago than we are?" he
asked. 1T is a whole lot better to send a
thief to the whipping post than to put him
flowers and delicacies."
Gipson OF Charlton said 1t made his blood
boil to visit the County Courthouse and
see great. big, black whelps living at the
expense. of the people in jail. while honest
people have to earn their living. "Only
those who are afraid Of the whipping post
