Mr.. Crumpacker and those who agree
with him have but to stand to their guns
to bring public sentiment in the south, as
elsewhere. to a proper appreciation of this
question. They might with profit reflect
on the case of the President, who .or

that the matter is understood, and
the capers of the politicians are weighed
at their true value. the southern people
are flooding the President with invitations
to make them a visit They see him In a
new and an agreeable light.
The Crumpacker proposition, properly ap-
piled. would give us constitutional repre-
sentation. That would break up the oil
earchy which at present controls the south,
and that in turn would bring the south
into touch with the order of things which
works so well elsewhere. And in that day
Mr.. Crumpacker would be welcomed in the
south as a friend of that section.

Mr.. Crumpacker and His Measure.

y dispatch from Laporte. Ind, says:
Congressman Crumpacker of this dis
trict. who will introduce bill with the con-
Vening of the new Congress for a reappor-
tonment of the Congress representation of
the southern states, is being deluged with
threatening letters written by southerners.
The threat is openly made In the COM
munications TO Mr.. Crumpacker that If his
proposed bill is enacted into law the people
OF the south will retaliate by ostraeizing
and prosecuting the northerners residing
among them.
Mr.. Crumpacker says he will not be de-
TERED from making a fight for a reappor-
uOnmeut, and he believes from the assur-
ances which he has received of support OF
his measure that il will be made law"
Mr.. Crumpacker should make a liberal al
lowance for waggery in the south. The
jokers always Improve orasions of this
kind to work OF their sense of humor
John Thomas" will write him from one
place. and have the letter posted from an

Who will breathe terrible threatenings in
bad grammar and on dirty paper. But here
and there some straightforward saphead
will write in honest dudgeon and sign his
true name. Mr.. Crumpaclser should pre-
serve these communications as samples OF
one style of campaigning in this country.
As matter of fact, however. the rank
and file of the southern people are not as
yet stirred by this question. They have
given it very little attention. The politi-
clans are the ones who are wrathy; and
even their feelings are somewhat AFFECTED.

Big Railway Terminals.

This is the day of big projects, big ex-
penditures, big ideas. Men and corpora
lions reckon now in millions where a few
decades ago they talked of tens of thous-
ands. and with the same ease and con-
fidence. Here is the announcement that the
Pennsylvania railroad is planning to build a
terminal station at Chicago costing $50 Co.,
600. following closely that of last week that
the New York Centrars project for it's new
metropolitan terminal will cost at least
81, 10000. The Pennsylvania own New
York terminal enterprise will call for SJO,-
100000. while the improvements for Wash
ington now well under way, will cost the
railroads. first and last about $4,000, eco.
So in three cities work is now in progress

grand total of expense of fully $4,000 900,

not impossible sum to spend in this man.

These enterprises, planned thus upon
great scale, suggest wholesome and graft

York, Chicago and Washington are three of
the most conspicuous cities in the world,

therefore constantly in evidence. From the
railroad entrances and exits is derived a
lasting impression of community. In the
past years almost any sort of pro-
vision for the handling of passengers
was considered good enough. while the

surrounded by the least desirable and most

Tom Watson, Editor.

Tom Watson's scheme for Saving the
country through the educational agency OF
a monthly magazine is complete. The hrst
number will appear on Washington's BIRTH
day, thus Identifying the fame of the Faith
er of His Country with the enterprise. New
York city will be headquarters, and some
of Mr. Bryans warmest friends are Stock
holders. Mr. Watson will be the editor
though doing his work at a distance Thorn
son-spelled without pa coy town IN
Georgia, will continue to be his place OF
residence. There is a slight jar in the an
nouncement that the corporation, while
capitalized at $125,OOO. begins business with
only $1,000. A leaf out of the book OF
Wall street?
1t may be predicted with entire safely
that Mr.. Watson will give his readers the
worth of their money. He writes well, and
has variety. He has the advantage OF MT.
Bryan in the gift of humor. He can see,
and present, the droll aspect of things. Mr..
Bryan at times grows monotonous In the
unrelieved severity of his arraignment OF
the opposition. Mr.. Watson takes the same
topic and dresses it up with light and
piouant touch Note how cleverly he rail-
lies the south about her subserviency to the
New York money power. while lambasting
And note how amiably he chaffs her about
the bugaboo of negro domination.

in the case of Washington. led to the estab-

The four great terminals which are under

THE REFINED AND GENTLE LASH.
It Should Be Applied on the Capitol
Plaza Or Near the White House,
From the Springfield Republican

From the Springfield Republican.
If the whipping-post is a superior de-
terrent in the case of the offense of wife
beating, it ought to prove such in the case
of other minor crimes; and once set I'D in
Washington its advocates would soon be
compelled to extend it's application to juve-
nile cases, petty larceny offenders, non
support and desertion offenses and the like
To that end the logic of the whipping-post
would lead and to that end would it finally
proceed, if the innovation is adhered to: and
when crimlnologlsts generally are denounc-
ing the Delaware policy of continuing this
ancient form of punishment which has been
so largely abandoned among the western
nations, the capital of the United States
would present the spectacle of trying to
reverse the whole tendency of modern times
among civilized peoples in the matter of
punishments.
Section 8 of the national bin of rights
provides that:
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor
excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and un-
usual punishments inflicted
This Is prohibition upon Congress and
applies, of course, it's enactments in re-
lation to territory exclusively under its
jurisdiction.
This provision might seem to block the
way of the proposed law. The United States
courts have held, we believe, that as the
whipping-po was quite d common institu-
ton among the states at the time of the
adoption of the Constitution, it does not
come under the prohibition of the eighth
post was well known then, but even then
its active use was being abandoned. More
over, the constitutional prohibition Is gem
eral and not specific in terms. and a broad
and reasonable construction would make it
applicable to punishments which have be-
come unusual since the day of its adoption,
though they might have been usual then
Because the hogging of women and the
thumb-screw were punishments finding ap-
plication in some civilized countries then
this would not make the above constitu-
tional provision inapplicable to their re-
vival now.
However. the courts will probably concede
the power of Congress to establish whip
ping-post at Washil gton, and under the
lead of the President 1t is evidently bound
to come-for wife-beating at first, which
seems largely to prevail in the capital, since
such extraordinary means are advised to
deal with it. anc then for other lower-grade
offenses. Where the post should be located
will remain for consideration. AS the aim
will be to shame rather than lacerate the
hide Of the wife-bea.er the more con-
spicuous the location the better; and spot
on the plaza in front of the Capitol, or one
over against the White House. would be
preferable.

No Profit in Freaks.

management that freaks will not be hired
and that the public no longer cares to see
human abnormalities and deformities. The

legged boy and the original rubber-neck
can no longer make large incomes by ex-
hibiting themselves to curious public.

receive $125 or $50 a week for sitting on
platform. The proprietors of the hippo
drome and other large shows presumably
do not exclude freaks for any other motive
but that their exhibition is not profitable
