AGAINST WHIPPING POST.
Mrs, Sarah J. Eddy Writes to Chair
man Babcock.

Mrs Sarah ]. Eddy of Bristol Ferry. R..
l., has written letter to Chairman Bab-
cock Of the District committee, urging him
to use all of his influence to prevent the
passage of the Adams whipping post bill.
Mrs Eddy's letter, which is Of more than
ordinary interest, follows in part
II write to protest against the bill intro
duced in the House to establish a whipping
post in Washington and to ask you to use
all your influence against it, The follow
ing reasons for opposing this bill have
been given by different persons whose opin-
ions have been expressed to me:
ut is not in accordance with modern
methods of reform which seek the reform
of the criminal and not merely his punish
ment. 1t would be a disgrace to our pres
ent civilization.
ITO fog man is to unspeakably degrade
him, not only at the time but for all the
future. 1t may be said that man who
could beat his wife would not feel the
degradation, but only physical suffering.
The large majority of men who beat their
wives do so while under the influence of
drink. Drunkenness is no excuse, but 1t is
a feature in the case which must be reck-
oned with. Many men who under the in
fluence of drink act like madmen, are well
behaved and decent persons when sober
Is it well to brand them with a punishment
which will make practically impossible a
return of self-respect and manly feeling on
their part and which will degrade them for
ever in the eyes of their fellow men.
1T would degrade the offender and also
his wife and children and the spirit of re-
venge and hatred might be stamped upon
children yet unborn, who would be far
more likely to become cruel if not actual
criminals.
1T would degrade the one who used the
whip, those present and the community
which consented to this barbarous method
OF punishment.
Would the wife beaten love his wife
more after his punishment was undergone,
as it would seem to him to have been on
her account? Would he love the COM
will seem to him its vengeance upon him?
Until he does love both more he will not
be better man.
THE degrading would doubtless spread to
the children of the rougher classes and the
whipping post would become a favOrfte
game with results that can well be i'm
agined.
"A prominent reformer who has devoted
years to these questions says that wife
heaters should be sent to some place where
they can work to support their families
under restraint and away from drink. l
believe there should be a detention farm
where incapables can be worked under gov
eminent supervision, and their wages. be-
yond their keep be sent to their families.
1 trust that this matter will receive your
earnest consideration

The chips have begun to fly from the car
penters hatchets and the ring of hammers
and the music of saws are greeting the ears
of those who pass in the vicinity of Lafay-
cite Park The work of constructing the
mammoth reviewing stand opposite the
White House for the inaugural parade spec
tators was begun today. Contractor James
L. Parsons had corps of men on the
ground with lots of lumber, and from now
on the Inauguration of President Roosevelt
will not only be a matter of theory and
committee discussion, but there will be
practical and tangible evidence that there is
to be something doing March 4.
The membership of all committees has
been completed and the names have gone
TO the printer, who will produce small
hand book, containing the names OF all
members of committees and subcommittee,
and a bit of general information which is
calculated to be of use in working out the
inaugural plans.
A great many applications have been re-
ceived at inaugural headquarters during
the past few days for tickets on the stand
at the Capitol and in the Senate galleries
at the time the Vice President Will take tne
oath of office To all such requests it has
been necessary to reply that the inaugural
committee has nothing whatsoever TO 90

to the galleries on March 4, but outside or

will be as scarce as snow in the summer

In fact no invitation is extended even TO
the chairman of the inaugural committee
nor is that committee, which is devotlng so
much time and attention to the inaugural

Frank c. Esterly of Minneapolis, Mimi,
arrived here today to look after the inter

Republican Club, which will have about LOO
men in line for the inaugural parade. The
members will wear distinctive costumes,
probably regulation Rough Rider khaki,
and propose making good showing and
incidentally enjoying their trip to the limit.

Webb, president of the First

Clarence, attending the West

welt was IN San Antonio and he
came up to the Post fort Sam

troops, they fired 81 guns which
is the Presidents salute, and all
the soldiers and officers were in
full dress uniforms.
We we're requested by the Cen
eral in command of the Post to
act as guards to keep the people
off the parade ground. We
marched over there in our regular
companies. We had about 100
boys in full uniform and were
stationed by the gate by which
the President passed to leave the
Post and when he passed we pre-
scented arms and he arose in his
carriage and bowed to us and
took off his hat to our flag 1t
certainly did look fine. He was
given a dinner at the Menger
hotel which cost $3.50 per plate
and you had to have special In
vitation and dress suit to go.

Letter to w. A. Guthrie.
San Angelo.

Dear Sir: "Three.quarter paint"
is a good phrase for the best out
side of Devoe. Devoe is the
standard; mark. it 100. The
next best-there are several not
far apart are three-quarter
paints; you may mark them IS
to Devoe's 100
The bulk of the paints in
market are 40 or so or 60; n few
are better than 60; a few are
worse than 40.
How do they act? They cover
from one to three-quarters as
much as Devoe; and they last
from one to three.quarters as long
as Deyoe.
What are they worth? The
same rule don't hold: it costs
more to put-on some paints than
they are worth; they are not
worth anything; the "put-on"
costs two are three times as much
as the paint.
Yours truly

Texarkana, Ark, April 12.-J
d. Huey, young white man, was
stabbed at 8 a. M. today, by c..
ii. Johnson, u negro mail clerk
on the Kansas City Southern,
running to Port Arthur. Huey is
not expected to live. The wound
is above and penetrating the right
lung. There was some talk of
lynching the negro if Huey died.
People have stood near the house
all day to hear how he was.
Johnson is on the Arkansas side
in jail.
Trouble arose because the negro
pushed Huey off the sidewalk.
Huey was formerly u brakeman
on the Iron Mountain, and is a
small man, while Johnson IS II six
footer.
The young man Huey will be
remembered as former resident
of San Angelo, having worked for
II. j. Adams at the time of the
breaking out of the Spanish war.
He joined the volunteer army
here, becoming member of
Company E, Captain E. w.
Bryan. lie didn't return to San
Angelo after having been muster
ed out. His home is in Pittsburg,
Texas, and he has many friends
in this city who will regret to

R. A. HALL TALKS BALL
San Angelo Banker, Lover of Good
Baseball and all Around Good
Fellow Talks to EN-.

The following clipping is taken
from the local page of the Fort
Worth Record:
"Never before in the history of
San Angelo has there been as
many strangers there as is tie
case today" said X. A. Hall,
cashier of the San Angelo Nation
al bank, who was IN Fort Worth
yesterday. without in any
manner advertising the fact to
any great extent, San Angelo is
today attracting all sorts of at
tention as a health resort. l dare
say that we have as many lung
ers there as there are in San An
tonic. The present hotel accom-
modations are barely adequate to
care for the demands and all the
boarding houses there are filled
nearly all the time
San Angelo may shine us u
health resort. But in a really
brilliant way San Angelo comes
to the front and center best as n
baseball town. We have more
genuine fans to the 1000 popula-
tion in San Angelo than in any
other city in the world. We all
love the great national game.
When it comes to a point where
ones business must suffer, or
baseball suffer, we close our place
of business.
eff | do say it myself / know
that we have more people in San
Angelo who understand the
fine points of the game and I'M
derstand them better than can be
found in any other place twice as
large as San Angelo in or off the
map. For the last three seasons
we have maintained mostly by
popular subscription, as good II
baseball team as one ever saw in
town of less than al 900 people.
There are any number of citizens
of San Angelo who have paid and
paid willingly from So to $40 a
month each toward defraying the
expenses of the home team, who
have also paid the 81 every time
they went to see u game and they
never missed seeing one.
"We have not yet gotten our
1905 team organized. When we
do you can wager your last sou
that we will have the finest and
the best semi-professional team
to be found in all Texas and the
best teams in the world are to be
found in this state"
