THE LASH UNPOPULAR
WHIPPING POST PROPOSITION
NOT FAVORED IN THE SENATE.
What Members Of the District Com
mittee Say About It-Press
Comments.

The proposition for a whipping post in
the District Of Columbia Is not favorably
received by members of the Senate. AS
a rule Senators upon being asked their
opinion as to the advisability Of legisla-
ton establishing the whipping post for
wife heaters in Washington question the
seriousness of the effort to effect such legis
ton.
Senator Gallnger, chairman of the Sem
ate committee on the District of Columbia,
is opposed to such legislation.
IT do not believe we should pass any
such legislation" he said. 1T is not in
keeping with our methods of dealing with
the criminal classes, and the legislation
for the District of Columbia should be a
model for every municipality Such sys-
tenn of punishment would simply be bar
barous."
Senator Dillingham; said: IT don't believe
in going back to such barbarism. Is there
much wife beating in this city? do not
believe that would be advisable"
A Repulsive Idea.
Senator Dubois said: II don't like that
way of dealing with crime 1t is repulsive
to me. 1t seems like going back too far.
I have no idea that such measure could
get through the District committee or
through the Senate. While have not heard
the arguments in favor of such whipping
post l DO not DetltFt WOulU Ue uhcly "
change my mind on this subject"
Senator Burrows said: mo, am not
for the whipping post. I do not believe
in such brutal punishment"
Senator Clay said: mo, not for an in
slant would l consider the establishment
of a whipping post in this city. The state
constitution of Georgia especially pro-
hibits brutal punishment Of any kind"
Senator Smoot said: II would favor
whipping post If that is the way to pre-
vent wife beating. man who would
beat a woman, whether 1t is his wife or
not. should be dealt with in summary
manner"
Marching in Wrong Direction.
Senator Foraker said: my view has
| always been opposed to what looks like a
| step backward by the introduction of a
whipping post. do not like corporal pun
tshment, simply because / think 1t hurts
| the men who administer 1t more than the
men who are punished. Such proposition
| for the District of Columbia looks like
marching In the wrong direction. I say
| that with all respect to others who take an
onnosite view. because have not given
| this question the examination that has been
given 1t by other people.
| Senator McComas said: I'VE have such
| a law in MarylandJi and we have very few
wife beatings, Gto the surprise of many peo-
nle who Wereea opposed to it, and I was
among those people As to the application
| Of such a laWeTto>4 the District Of Columbia
| have not made up my mind.

Marching in Wrong Direction.
A National Whipping Post.
.no 1ou,syilie sEourier-Journal.

The RECOMMENDATION of the President in
his last message that the whipping post be
astablished in the. District of Columbia for
the punishment Of wife heaters took the
country nv surprise. Whether 1t was re-
rarded as an Indication Of the all-embrac-
ing latitude of Mr.. Roosevelt's mental ac-
tivitv or of his disposition to regulate every
thing in sight, it was thought singular that
he should have made specific recommen-
few people, especially as the principle In
yolyed is SO much in dispute, and as there is
a disposition to look upon the reversion to
corporal punishment as relapse into bar
barism. : II the whipping post is to
be re-established for wife heaters there will
be an effort to extend 1t to other minor Of
lenses also There will, however, be much
opposition to establishing the whipping post
for any purpose.

Mr.. -Yeomans Again Nominated.

President Roosevelt today sent to the
Senate the nomination of James D. Yeo-
mans to succeed himself as member of the
interstate commerce commission. Commits
sioner Yeomans' term expired on the 7th in
slant. 1t was the idea of the President that
he could continue as a member of the COM
mission until his successor had qualified.
Lawyers in Congress held, however, that
the appointment of member of that COM
mission is for a definite period, and that
therefore, Mr.. Yeomans ceased on the 7th
instant to be a member of the body The
President referred the matter to Attorney
General Moody for an opinion. His opin-
ion, submitted to the President today, Is
in accord with the general view In Con-
gress that Mr. Yeomans is not now mem
Der of the commission. The President con-
seQuent1y sent the appointment of Mr.. Yeo-
mans to the Senate, the understanding be-
ing that he will serve a member of the
body until the term of Senator Cockrel in
the Senate shall expire on the 18th of
March. He then will be succeeded on the
commission by Senator Cockrell.
The President sent in the following nomi-
nations also:
