The Whipping Post.

IA member OF tho Massachusetts Lcgls-
5lature has taken his cue from President
Roosevelt and has introduced q bill pro-!
vidlng for tho inst tuition Of tho whipping
post for wfe-beators in that State.
{ The objection raised to tho whipping
post is TINT 1t is barbarous and br,,-
talking; that it Isl. iii Institution in The
spirit Of the crude conception OF Justice
that found expression in he fortunes In;

to degrade him and make him more

For, these reasons the whipping post was
long since abolished In most civilized COM
munItles, and thoro is great doubt as
to tho sexpediency Of revlvins even for
the punishment Of cowardly and brutal
husbands who beat their wives. III the
highest civilization punishment is not In
tlicted III the spirit OF retaliation. Its
object is stwofold- primarily58to protect
society BY making an example Of law
breakers that others may DO deferred
from the commission OF crime. and sec.
ondarlly to reform the criminal.
IT may be that q wlfe-beater can be
reformed by lashing him at the whipping
post. but the experience, Of those COM
munlties, which have tried It, is that It
does not tend 10 prevent wfe-beat'ng
but the rather to protect the wife-heatcrs
Tho wife, who would be willing to make
a charge in court against hcrs husband
when she knew that his conYl ctlpn meant
imprisonment. would almost Invariably
be deferred from ,}nalting the charge {

Of such a punishment for the man whose
