LASH FOR WIFE BEATERS.

THE SUGGESTION in President
RooseveIts message. that some
form of corporal punishment be put i'm
force for wife heaters, has been re-
ceived with favor. not only in the city
of Washington. towards which the
president directly addressed himself.
but throughout the country. President
Roosevelt well said, in his reference to
the matter:
There are certain offenders. whose Grim
nality takes the shape of brutality and
cruelty toward the weak. who need .spe-
tidl type OF punishment The WitC-Deater,
Tor example, is inadequately punished by
Imprisonment, for Imprisonment may
often mean nothing TO him, while it may
cause hunger and want To the wife and
children who have been the victims Of
his brutality. Probably some form of
corporal punishment would be the most
adequate way of meeting this kind Of
crime.
1t certainly is true that the usual
punishment administered to the wife
beaten often falls most heavily on the
innocent. A man who is so degraded
that he will beat his wife does not feel
I'm the least degree the shame attached
forced to pay a fine the loss of the
money means the loss of necessities to
his family. The whipping post would
seem to solve this problem.
1t would, we believe. have a tendency
to check the wife beating evil. A
cowardly scoundrel who is fond Of in
flicting physical pain upon his wife is
usually very much afraid of physical
pain himself. A round hundred lashei
laid across his bare back would teach
him what it is to suffer, it would teach
him what his wife has been suffering.
The whipping post is really an applica-
ton of the old adage that sauce for
the goose is sauce for the gander"
In Delaware the whipping post is
used for wife heaters and for lesser Of
tenders. Petty thieving is punished by
the lash. for instance. and so is dis
orderly conduct. Major Sylvester. head
of the Washington police department,
says that it is owing TO this fact that
Delaware is practically immune from
professional criminals Of this char
acter. Major Sylvester adds:
I'm my opinion the application Of the
lash IA one or two cases in the District
Of Columbia, and the holding OF the ap-
paratus in readiness for the future would
tend more to stay the cruel treatment OF
wives and children and prevent the
snatching of DOcketbOOks. assaults ana
1obberies than almost anything that could
be devised. Put w the whipping post
and II viii act as a SCdreCrOW.

The son Of a former president Of the
Argentine republic has been sent TO
jail in France for one month because
he ran down a woman with his auto
mobile and killed her. His punishment
does not even approximate the enor-
nifty of his offense, but the fact that
he was punished at all is encouraging.

can be nothing new in the gospel Of
Jesus Christ. IL was revealed to him
once for all, perfect and complete. FROM
the viewpoint of the laymen. the fault
of many preachers is that they 90 not
really believe That the old gospel is the
only gospel. They are not filled with the
conviction that only through Jesus Christ
and him crucified can men be saved from
their sins and led unto Righteousness and
salvation. And So instead of preaching
the gospel they merely spin words
AS a result, there is nothing but habit
and social custom TO draw many intehi-
gent men TO church. and when these
bonds are once lroken they can never be
mended Such men can set nothing for
their minds. and often they get precious
little for their souls, by going to church.
And until the average preacher realizes
that his mission is not 10 give secular
Knowledge or entertainment. but just to
save souls. -uch men will not go 10
church often.

1t will be seen that the United States
is the greatest of the exporting ma
tons. and the balance Of trade in favor
of this country is greater than the
balance in favor of any other. In an
average year the United States i'm
ports $500. 100000 less than it exports,
and the balance of trade in our favor
is constantly growing.
The figures furnish an interesting
study to gentlemen who insist that a
ship subsidy law should be enacted on
the ground that it would help our
foreign trade. We appear TO have
nearly all the trade that we can handle
now and there is no difficulty in Sc
curing ships in which to send our pro-
ducts to the markets of the world.

Emergency Medicine.

It is a great convenience to have
at hand reliable remedies for use
in cases of accident and for slight
ailments. A good liniment and one
that has become a favorite if not a
household necessity is Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. By applying it
promptly to a cut, bruise or burn
it allays the pain and causes the
injury to heal in about one-third
the time usually required, and as
it is an antiseptic it prevents any
danger of blood poisoning. When
Pain Balm is kept at hand a sprain
may be treated before inhamma.

recovery. For sale by all druggists.
