ANCIENT BUILDING RESTORED
Old Schoolhouse Dating from Thir-
teenth Century at Gjoevik.

The old schoolhouse at Grams par
sonage, near Gjoevik, Norway, has
been completely restored at an expense
Of $500 kroner. The work was done
under the plans and direction Of Archi-
tect Sinding- Larsen of the church de-
partment. It appears from the old rec
ords that this ancient building in OIL
den days had some connection with
the cathedral at Hamar, possibly being
used by the bishops on their diocesan
visits. N. Nicolyasen, the antiquarian,
estimates that it was erected previous
to 1910, and it is, hence, more than
665 years old. The walls are four feet
tic. It is regarded with much inter
est by antiquarians and is well worth
preserving.

estimates that Sweden needs to increase
its navy by five armored vessels and

now two fronts to protect. In view,
however, Of the destruction Of the Rus

of morally humiIiating the brutal husband;
because it is an unwarranted interference
with domestic affairs. leading perhaps to
greater degrees of "paternaifsn;" and
finally because it falls under the category
of cruel and unusual punishments'' against
which the fundamental law declares.
The arguments of those opposed to the
lash are of themselves sufficiently strong
to warrant the defeat of the proposition.
But they go further, and. admitting that
the present method of punishment is mad
equate and absurd, they urge that instead
of the revival of the lash the law be changed
so that wife-beaters may be set to work
under public auspices and under restraint at
remunerative labor. the wages for which
shall be paid to their wives, so that suf-
fering for lack of income may not follow
conviction. Rejecting the remedy offered
they advocate one that is Infinitely better
more Christian, more effective and more in
keeping with the modern spirit.
1t is to be believed that the SUBJECTS
finally disposed of. even though the Adams
bill remains before the House District COM
mittee. Certainly it has been rejected by
the capital city. and if the whipping post is
eventually established it will be against the
emphatic protest of the community.

The Argument Against the Lash.

Discussion of the whipping post propo-
sition had langushed when Representative
Adams appeared before the House Dis
trict committee the other day and argued
In favor of the passage of his bill applying
the lash to the backs of all wife-beating
husbands in this community. The citizens
of Washington had already rejected the
proposal in their own minds and had
come to the conclusion that there was no
probability of it's adoption by Congress-
They are not shaken in that faith now be-
cause OF Mr.. Adams speech before the
committee. In order. however. to put the
case once more before its readers. The Star
today prints in the news columns a con-
densed survey Of the arguments which
have been adduced against the use of the
lash for this purpose.
The voice Of the District has been loudly
raised against the suggestion on several
grounds, because the whipping post would
prove an ineffective remedy for the evil:
because it would lead to greater evils. such
as the suppression of complaints against
marital brutality, wife-desertion and even
wife-murder; because it is based upon an
unsourt principle. long since rejected by
civiliza ton. and its restoration would men
ace society with the revival Of other obso-
lete punishments OF n cruel period; be-
cause 1t is an unchristian reversal of doc
trine and weak confession of the inability
or society today to cope with misfortunes
and crimes save by the old Hebraic meth
cd of revenge; because it is a slur and
Islander upon the District, and an attempt
to utilize this community as an experiment
station for a questionable return to medic
valism; because ii is unnecessary in the
light OF the known records of this particu-
lar ofiense; because there are today no
preeedents for the whipping post as a pun
ishmert for wife-beaters. the states having
long since abandoned this method; because
the proposition as it stands in the form
OF bill before Congress permits no dis
elimination on the part of the law officers.
who must condemn TO the lash every hus-
band whose wife charges him, with or
without physical proof. with brutality.
whatever may be the provocation or the cir
cumstances or the degree of his chastise-
ment; because there Is no agreement among
the advocates of the lash as to its character;
OF the manner of its application. whether
in public or private. severely or gently. as
purely physical punishment or means

Hoch and His Wives.

The further 1t is unrolled the more re-
markable becomes the record of Hoch the
bigarnist and alleged wife-murdcrer Hoch
himself can be set down as a monster OF
depray1ty and his case is understood. But
the real mystery of the matter Is the ease
with which he persuaded women to marry
him. Taking as a sample of his past meth
DDS his endeavor in New York to secure
the hand-and fortune-of boarding house
keeper with whom he lodged and whose
complaint to the police landed him behind
bars, the mystery deepens. 1t seems as
though he had but to propose matrimony to
a woman to cause her to accept him. Yet
he is not prepossessing man. He is Of a
distinctly ordinary type, with coarse fea-
lures and an ungainly figure a man who
would never be noticed in a crowd for any
quality, save perhaps his very common
placeness. Yet this man appeared to have
no difficulty In Dersuading upward of a
score of women to stand with him before a
minister or a justice and take vows OF
matrimony, and little difficulty in gaining
possession forthwith of their valuabies.
There is this to be said for Hoch, that
his victims were apparently very foolish
women. Their misfortunes may teach a
wholesome lesson. There Is altogether too
low an estimate OF the true meaning and
the solemnity and responsibility of mar
riage now prevalent. Men and women mate

Cocaine.

There is now pending before the two
houses of Congress a bill which covers
the case of the vendors of cocaine in this
District, against whom complaint has
lately been filed This bill represents the
joint labors of the medical and pharmacy
examiners of the District, the druggists
and their clerks and the legal authorities
of the municipal government. 1t stands
as the best possible expression on the
subject. In its general provisions it COW
ers a multitude of matters requiring reg
ulation AS to the sale of cocaine and
certain other drugs, it proposes an abso-
lutte prohibition save under the restric-
ton of a physicians prescription. The
druggist is to be deprived of all right to
prescribe or sell such drugs on his own
responsibility.
This bill should be taken up at this ses-
sion and passed, even though other i'm
portant measures await consideration
The local conditions disclosed by news
articles and letters in The Star warrant
extraordinary efforts on the part of those
members of Congress who wish to see the
capital properly protected by laws against
crime, disease and vice.
But whether this law is passed Or not,
1t would certainly seem that the authori-
ties have ground for action against any
druggist who is found dispensing cocaine
IN the manner described by one CORE
Spondent of The Star, who AYERS that the
drug Is sent out to customers regularly
Just as groceries are delivered If these
Offenders can be caught their standing

case be subject to revision.

The Rock Creek Problem.

What is generally known as the Rock
Creek problem remains subject of inter-
esting discussion between the District Com
missioners and representatives of the in
tercsts involved in the various projects for
its solution. In another part of The Star
today will be found summary of the argu-
ments which have been advanced in favor
respectively of the terracing and the tun-
neling methods of treating the banks of the
creek. Considerations of landscape art of
land values, of cost and of convenience all
enter into the case. There is more or less
of conflict between them. Those who de-
sire to see the lower creek valley developed
as park driveway, affording a convenient
and beautiful approach to the great reser-
vations above the city, hold firmly to the
terracing plan, which will utilize the nat
ural attractiveness of the valley, now OBJ
scured by the unsightly refuse dumped pro-
miscuously upon the banks. Opposed to
them are those who believe in adding to the
city's area available for building, offering
a plan for a tunnel which will carry off the
waters and furnish a large acreage at
grade. while permitting physical union be-
tween Georgetown and Washington, already
one in point of interests and government.
But whether the one plan or the other is
finally adopted by Congress, for whose in
formation all this discussion proceeds. 1t is
to be hoped that the decision will not be
long delayed. The present conditions in the
lower creek valley are disgraceful. Every
year of delay adds to the difficulties, save
that the gradual filling of the banks by mis-
cellaneous dumping is a contribution to he
feasibility of the tunnel project, should
that eventually be adopted. Meanwhile
Georgetown and Washington cali for
better facilities for communication. There
are at present only SIX bridges across the
creek below the parks. with wide stretches
between some of them which seriously in
terfere with travel and the development of
both sides.
The article printed today brings the con-
troversy up to date and indicates the keen
interest which is taken in the question at
issue by the residents of the District Thera
is now pending no more important matter
affecting the artistic development of the
capital and its physical equipment for bust
ness.

The Republican Caucus.

1t is easy to sympathiZe with the re-
publicaus of the House in the matter of
the railroad rate problem. Not many OF
them understand it, and all are curious.
The hurry call to act on fills them with
concern. Three days in which to prepare
for action. and then a feN hours divided
among the whole House membership in
which to explain the votes about to be re-
corded. cannot but cause little anxious
thinking. Tuesday and Wednesday, there
fore. should be interesting days in the open
House. Short as tie time for debate is, it
is sufficient to develop any man with a
tongue and the courage of It, and we shall
probably hear from those who would pre-
fer longer preparation.
The situation is well illustrated by the
speech of Mr. Payne of New York to yes
terday's caucus He sought to quiet appre-
hersion by the assurance that the measure
proposed would work no harm, because it's
provisions were years ago discussed and
approved Its opponents. he pointed out
were, without knowing it, shying at an old
acquaintance. This caused many to won
der. and to stroke their chins rehectively.
They had forgotten, if they had ever known
anything about it Still. the assurance left
them uneasy. They would prefer more time
Matters are not improved for the House
by the intimation that the bill will not pass
the Senate; that this is a play to the gal
leries and that, at last, it will remain for
the next Congress to enact remedial legisla-
ton. The man who votes now goes upon
record so far as he is concerned; and if
the situation changes radically one way or
another before the next Congress assem-
bes he may appear to have voted either
under party compulsion or with no knowl-
edge of the subject. And your legislator,
wha the facts may be- wants to ap-
pear as an individual with backbone, and
knowing man.
The country is convinced that an evil
exists, and that a remedy should be APP
piled. Mr.. Roosevelt is well supported by
public sentiment upon the general propo-
sition. But it is fact that the question is
a very large one, that it reaches into a
domain as yet but little explored, and that
many men with no sort of sympathy with
monopolies of any kind feel that in advanc-
ing in this matter they should put their
feet down with care.

A Truly National University.

The plans for the enlargement of the scope
Of the George Washington University. out
lined and explained in the news columns of
The Star today, promise the development of
a truly national institution in this city of
the kind contemplated in the main by the
first President. DR.. Needham's statement
the charter of the Columbian College and
its successor, the George Washington Uni
Yersity, indicates a comprehensive scheme
of utilizing to the best ends existing collie
giate organizations suitable for utilization
with the university, and also the rich mate
rails afforded by the governments works
and bureaus in this city. Not only does this
project tend to expand George Washington
University into broadly national estab-
lishment, but it is Enthusiastically a step in
the direction of making Washington a fed
eral educational center. The detailed plans
for the enlargement of the university are
themselves evidences of this tendency and
sure contribution to Washington's pres
tige as seat of learning. With it's powers
broadened to enable it to affiliate with col
leges both in this city and elsewhere, George
Washington University with proper support
and endowment, is destined to become one
of the greatest educational institutions in
the world. President Needham's statement
proves, furthermore. that the plans for its
organization are based upon scientific prn-
ciples, and are the result of the most care
full study. The early passage of the pend
ing bill is to be hoped for by all who believe
IN the future of Washington as the national
university center.

ROYAL Peacemakers.

The latest story is that the kaiser and
King Edward are considering the advisable
ity of moving for peace in the east. 1t is
news which comes under the head of being
important If true. They would make a
strong team as peacemakers. The kaiser s
sympathies are with Russia, and those of
the king with Japan. If they did not get a
prompt acquiescence in their appeals they
would not meet with a gruff rebuff. Great
and good friends are always heard with
respect at least. But, for the moment, Rus
STA is in such a pickle that every report
concerning her should be received with
care. The car and his advisers are watch
ing a threering circus. and their heads are
In whirl. They are hardly in condition to
consider anything intelligently. and the
kaiser's part of the reported program would
be one of extreme difficulty.
