SCHOONER LOST AT SEA.
No Report Since She Sailed Two
Months Ago.

There now seems to be no doubt that
the schooner Dora, owned by Mr.. James
o. Carter of this city, was lost at sea,
but where no one knows. The disappear
ance of the vessel has added another to
the lost list of mysteries of the deep. The
schooner, as has been stated, sailed from
Charleston about two months ago with a
cargo of lumber aboard bound to New
York. Since she discharged the pilot that
took her across Charleston bar, no report
of her ever having been sighted has reach
ed her owner or her agents.
The Dora was loaded with light pine
lumber and IL abandoned by her crew
her hulk would float for years. Had she
been wrecked on enc of the West In
dies, 1t is argued that the wreck would
have been discovered and report made of
IL, and the fate of the schooner and her
crew of five men will probably never be
known.
The Dora has several times met with
disaster. While known as the schooner
r. and S. Corson she was abandoned off
the capes of the Chesapeake and was tow
ed into Hampton Roads and sold. She
was purchased by Mr.. Carter and others
and rebuilt. and renamed Dora. Recently
in coming out of Charleston she went
ashore on a bar near the entrance of the
harbor and was badly injured, requiring
several weeks for repairs. This was short
~ before she sailed on the Trip which che
failed to ooUp1ota.

TO ERADICATE TEXAS FEVER.
Experiments to Be Tried by the Agri-
cultural Department.

Strong hopes are expressed in the De-
partment of Agriculture that the eradica-
ton of Texas fever, caused by the cattle
ticks, is In sight. The department has been
working ON the problem for some time, and
it has almost been proved to the satisfac-
ton of officials that the tick which causes
the fever can be eradcated from pasture
simply by keeping cattle out of it, The
tick is not a herfoivorous animal, and it will
die out if the pasture is kept free of cattle
1t is believed that IL one pasture on a farm
is always kept free Of cattle over what
might be termed the life period of the tick
it will furnish perfectly safe pasturage for
unaffected animals in case fever breaks out
in the rest of the herd.
OF course the Department of Agriculture
has no right to go into state and enforce
the free pasture theory, and the matter
cannot, or at least is not. always dealt with
satisfactorily by state officials. But in
cases where the department is officially in
vited to come into state and take charge
of cleaning up, 1t is quite ready to do so.
Tentative arrangements have already been
made for this work with the authorities in
some states. and it is believed that 1t will
be quite possible to stamp out the fever
and allow the free interstate transporta-
ton of cattle which is now prohibited. The
saving in money and the convenience TO
shippers of this arrangement can easily be
unders TODD.
While this quarantine and extirpation
work is going on there is similar expert
ment on different lines directed to the same
end that will soon be under way. There
have been imported to some of the Texas
ranges specimens of the Indian sacred cat
tie, and 1t has been found that they were
immune to Texas fever. Apparently there
is an oil in the skin that is repugnant to
the tick. At any rate they will not harbor
the parasite. The half and even the six
teenth bloods are immune, and they are just
as good beef cattle as can be found.
There are very stringent laws against the
importation Of foreign stock into this coun-
try without thorough examination and
stock from so far away as India without
especial provisions for Its examination.
Mr. A. s. Borden of Pierce, Tex, has ar
ranged, however, with the Agricultural De-
partment to make a large importation of
the immune Indian cattle, and has already
left for British India to pick them out
The Department of Agriculture will send
special veterinary after him, and the first
shipment of about 100 head will be exam
ined before they are shipped, and then
quarantined on one OF the small islands off
the gulf coast till 1t Is determined that
there is no danger of their bringing into
this country some strange bovine affiiction
worse than Texas fever.
After they have been thoroughly proven
they will he introduced among the Texas
herds, and 1t is hoped that they will pro-
duce a fever-resisting strain that viii be
a valuable acquisition to the cattle men of
the southwest.

The General Argument.

1t is deemed advisable at this time on
the eve of a formal consideration of the
Adams bill in the House of Representa-
tives, TO present once more in The Star
summary of the argument against the
lash as a punishment for wife-beating.
Herewith therefore, is given a statement
of the case, viewed from various stand
points. It's application to the case in
hand is as complete as 1t was year ago.
The arguments against the whipping
post fall generally under three heads:
First, as regards the effect upon the family
of the punished man; second as the propo-
sition affects the community, and, third, as
IT influences and reflects upon public senti-
ment at large. Under the first head the
those VINO have spoken on the subject on
the ground that the lash would be inef-
fective as a deterrent: that the proposal is
based upon an unsound principal long dis
credited, and that the situation here does
not warrant so radical departure from es-
tablished methods. Under the second head
1t is rejected and the proposition is deplored
as slur upon the capital city of the ma
ton. as an undemocratic innovation leading
to governmental meddling with domestic
matters and as unchristian expedent.
Under the third head Il is rejected as being
without modern precedent. as an improved
necessity whose advocates are not agreed
as to its scope and the circumstances of its
application. and finally, as cruel and I'M
usual punishment, contrary to the spirit or
the age.

A Brutaiizing Influence.

In treating the proposed application or
the lash as ineffective, some adduce testi-
mony based upon knowledge of the condi-
lions of life chiefly affected by this plan.
Several of these declare that the tendency
of the LASH or any other form OF corporal
punishment. is to brutalize the victim. incl
dentally brutalizing him who applies the
whip.
In the light of experience il Is not DIM
cult to conceive the result of whipping hus-
bands. who, in moments of anger or while
Intoxicated, strike their wives. Wife beat
ers ought TO be divided into two classes
one living ordinarily decent and law-re-
speeding lives. the other of naturally tur-
bulent character.
Wife Beating and Drunkenness.
In the first class, wife-beating results
chiefly from intemperanee. The drunken
husband quarrels with his wife. She re-
forts in kind or humbly submits. The re-
suit is the same in either case. A blow is
struck savagely or lightly.
For an assault of either the atrocious or
the mild form the husband is arrested. at
the wifs's complaint. He u hailed to court.

Garharous retalfatory renaitfes
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-02-05
Cruel and Unusual.

Finally, the opponents of the whipping
post declare that 1t is ''cruel and unusual
within the meaning of the Constitution,
which forbids all such punishmenrs 1t has
been urged by its advocates that this argu
ment will not stand, inasmuch as when the
Constitution was adopted the whipping post
was quite a common institution in the
states But the lash was then being aban-
doned on all sides the people advanced
in thought. Furthermore, what was regard
ed 125 years ago as not cruel and unusual
may be so regarded today, the day of the
punishment.
Whatever the legal arguments may be on
this score, the mere statement that IT Is
open to controversy is sufficient to condemn
the proposition. In all cases civilization de-
mands that the benefit of the doubt be
given to humanity. In this case civilization
surely requires that the obsolete, cruel and
even barbarous punishment of a dark Pc
Rod in the worlds history should not be
revived for the punishment of a single small
class of offenders in single community IN
these United States, and that community
the capital of the nation.
