THE WHIPPING POST.

Representative Adams of Pennsyl-
vania has finally introduced into con-
gress his promised bill to esta blish the
whipping post for wife heaters It's a
revival of the measure which at the last
session walked through slaughter
house to an open grave The trouble
with the lash as a punishment for the
brutes who lick their wives is that it is
sure to fail to accomplish the object
aimed at. The average wife will take
a beating in silence before she viii
lodge with the auth critics a complaint
that will send her husband to the
whipping post. She's built that way
A great many wife-beaters that now
suffer some penalty, even though in
adequate, would get off scot free if
hogging were the prescribed punish
ment. Various other objections to the
use of the brutalizing lash are serious.
but this particular one, which is the
product of experience and not of fancy,
is alone conclusive. It's wise to eX-
haust more logical and more scientific
and more effective methods dealing
with the wffe-Icking scoundreIs before
resorting to logging. Hartford Times.
