cry for vengeance breaks from his

Fortunate for him whose brutality
is branded on the flesh and written
in the blood of that child If he is
beyond the reach of those outraged
parents at that psychological Instant.
The moment of righteous passion
passes and comes a calmer mood,
then, too, comes a realization OF the
sickening fact that civilization, that
society, that school boards, that
learned professors, that cultured
teachers uphold and approve OF
such hardened and damnable bru-
tality. Ministers in Christ proclaim
against liquor, inveigh against pros
titution, denounce lying, lament
hypocricy and bewail political cor
ruption. They have time and in
clination to grow red and eloquent
over those evils, but they have no
heart to attack an evil ten times
more fendish than either of them.
Reformers of every breed and stamp
are weeping up and down the land
because Of the tyranny Of wealth,
but they have no word Of protest
aginst the cruelty of education nor
one word of sympathy for its victims.
THE TRIBUNE is not talking in a
personal way. 1t does not intend
to make a direct application. These
reflections are, it is true, inspired
by a recent incident. but we are not
placing blame in any personal sense.
The thing which happened here
and caused public agitation is hap
pening from day to day all over
the State-all over the world. We
are moved. therefore, to inquire
how much longer is brutality to be
nursed and approved in our institu
tons of learning? How much longer

BE BRAVETo DO JUSTICE.

The newspaper. men of the State
recently held meeting in Occur
d. Alene city, and they all had
COON time, invigorating their bodies
enlightening their minds, and
cementing fraternal bonds. Those
press meetings are excellent things,
and should be attended by every
newspaper man who can possibly
afford the time and money. The
writer laments that he could not 60,
personally, but THR TRIBUNE was
we'll represented by Mr.. c. J. Shorb,
SO the association lost nothing by
our absence. Mr.. Shaver of the
North Idaho Star was elected presi-
dent and Mr.. M. S. Parker was
continued as secretary. They are
both good men and eminently quail
lied to fill the high Offices to which
they were called. We do not recall
the names Of other officers, but as
they had to be selected from among
the fraternity, they may be vouched
for.
We have read some glowing &C.
counts of the meeting, the charm of
the scenery and the beauties of
Occur d'Alene City. The editors
have also dwelled graciously on the
Inequalities which were extended
to them all along the line. That is
all right, and shows that newspaper
men are not ingrates. They respond
enthusiastically to kind treatment.
But so far as we have observed,
many of them, in bestowing &C.
acknowledgements for favors, have
overlooked the railroads. Probably
it was through inadvertance, posi-
bly,, the result of timorousness.
Sometimes editors are a little skit-
fish about making suitable acknowl-
edgments for favors secured from
railroad companies. We are that
way ourself, because we are afraid
that our constituency will look upon
US as minion of the octopus. We
kind of want the public to believe
that we are in a state of perpetual
warfare against railroads, and would
rather die in our tracks than accept
a favor from them. That is what
we want people to believe, but
that kind of fame does not accord
nicely with the acceptance of rail-
road favors. So, when we get gen.
erous consideration from the rail.
roads, we are apt to refrain from
mentioning it out loud. Thus does
conscience make towards of us all.
But to be just we must all be brave
The railroads nearly always are
very kind to the editors. We un,

Not many of us could have attenoeo

candidly, we don't believe there
was any thought of brlbing the

Thew are not that kind of men.
So, we think, the State Press Asso-
cation, collectively and individually
ought not, in expressing aPpaec'a-
ton of favors received, overlook the
railroads. We sometimes feel that
if a man accept kindness, even
from the devil himself, he ought to
be brave enough to publicly &C

We, professed Christians, liftup our
voices in thankfulness to Almighty
God that civilization has advanced to
that stage wherein grown men and
women aud dumb brutes are pro-
tected from inhumanity. We thank
a gracious providence that the reign
of the bully is ended, and brute
force no longer inspires terror nor
compels submission, except IN the,
public schools. O, parents, fathers
and mothers, think of it: OF all
living creatures, your own offspring
blood of your blood and bone OF
your bone, are the only ones which
by consent of civilization and in
the name of human progress are
whipped and scourged till their ten
der flesh is broken and discolorei,
and when you dare to protest you
are heard with Indifference and dis
missed without redress. Aye, the
laceration of your child is approved
as a necessary measure OF educa"
tional discipline, while that same
education is insulted and outraged
if a horsethief, murderer, burglar,
embezzler, liar, hypocrite or ravisher
receive the same treatment that
your child suffers. You take that
tender child, around which the hol-
lest affections of the human heart
are entwined. You watch by its
bedside in the awful hours of sick"
ness, when its pure and innocent
soul hangs by a thread between
earth and heaven. In the silent
hours of night, as you watch the
thin pale form, and every labored
breath of the little sufferer pierces
your heart like dagger, then you
come to a realization of what that
child is to you, and be you Christian
or Atheist, there comes whispering
of hope, and with tears moistening
your cheeks, you go down upon
your knees and pray God to spare
that child. 1t is the agonizing
appeal of your soul in the last ex-
tremity of woe. Your prayer is
answered. The child passes through
the crisis, and, as it slowly re-
covers, the smile returns to its
lips and the roses to its cheeks, and
a Joy and thankfuluess comes into
the parental breast beyond the power
of human expression. With health
comes strength and playfulnsss,
often a wilful and mischievous spirit,
which is the inalienable patrimony
of most children-an inheritance
come down from untold generations
of savage and brutal ancestors.
One day that child is sent to school
where it falls under the dominion OF
an absolute autocrat, or perchance
half dozen of them. 1t is at once
enjoined to conform to straight laced
rules and perform irksome tasks.

CORPORAL PuMleHMEMT.

Last week subject was touched
upon in these columns which APP
peals to the humanity Of right
minded and wholesome hearted peo-
pie. Directly stated the question
was, Is Corporal punishment in the
public schools necessary to the
maintenance of good order?
THE TRIBUNE confesses to having
very pronounced convictions on this
subject. We hold that an assault
upon the person of another, except
in the suppression of public violence,
the execution of judicial DEGREES, or
self-defense, is a crime born of in
temperance, ignorance or brutal in
stincts.
In this connection, it is interest
ing and instructive to note that
Christianity has directly had a pow
erful influence in eliminating from
criminal law all kinds of punish
ment involving the infection of
bodily pain, and, also, indirectly, 1t
has promoted the most inhuman
cruelties.
The common mode Of punishment
In earlier times, for all classes of
criminals, was similar in character,
though in severer degree, to that
employed in some of the public
schools today, namely, whippings,
tortures and mutilations. In the
beginning of the middle ages, these
cruelties were practically abandoned,
which was directly ascribable to the
humanizing influences of Christian
ity. But towards the end of that
darkest period in human history a
terrible change had taken place.
Christianity became dehumanized.
The Inquisition with all its horrors
was established, and physical tor
ture in every degree of brutality
was applied in the punishment of
all classes of offenders.
Slowly mankind emerged from
that carnival of cruelty. One by
one the tortures were abandoned.
The rack, the thumbscrews and the
"boot'' were driven from the tenn
pies of justice, and finally the whip
ping post disappeared, until, thank
God, there is now scarcely to be
found upon the statutes of any
Christian nation a law tolerating
corporal punishment except as a
penalty for capital crimes. Men
are no longer whipped because they
are Quakers, nor women because
they gossip, The human body is
no longer bruised and broken to
satisfy the offended law. except in
the public schools. Penology
breaches a sweeter gospel and prac'
tees nobler faith. Criminology,
the scientific study Of criminals,
and criminal anthropology, which
treats of the nature, cause, growth
and prevention of crimes. have
opened the eyes of the Christian
world to the wickedness and futility
of decorating the human body tc
correct the errors of the soul.

FREAK DINNERS A FAD.
Entertainments Where Guests Cook
for Themselves

ENTERTAINMENTS "hSTe 0uestS SCOk
for Themselves.
Freak dinners are a fad. An or
dinary dinner has lost it's charm for
some people who go out much during
the season, and now that Paris has set
its seal of approval on the Corinthian
dinner at which everyone is obliged
to cook something. New Workers and
Chicagoans will select this form of
entertainment as a diversion.
In studio few weeks ago the wife
of an artist gave one of these cook
ing parties to a dozen guests who
knew nothing of the fun in store for
them when they arrived at the house.
The studio was arranged with long
table holding chatting dish for each
person, with some particular Wand be-
fore it ready to be cooked. Each
guest received chefs cap and apron,
and in a short time the dishes were
bubbling and simmering in a promis-
ing fashion.
When the meal was cooked 1t was
served by the men, who acted as the
walters. Strangely enough, the din
ner in every particular was a success.
But cooking has become such a fad
Of late that it is considered quite
smart to know how to cook some par
ticular dish in chafer. The bach
elor apartment feasts, at which the
host acts as cook have increased the
desire for culinary knowledge, as
these occasions prove very enjoyable
to those used to more formal enter.
