WHIPPING POST
IS A FAILURE
DELAWARE WARDEN QUITS JOB
RATHER THAN LASH ANY
MORE PRISONERS.

WILMINGTON, Del, Aug. Is
Declaring that the whipping post in
Delaware is failure and refusing
to lash any more prisoners, Osmond
S. Meserve, prominent as crimino-
logist, has resigned as warden of the
Newcastle County workhouse. Me-
serve had been in charge of the
workhouse six years. 1t is believed
his attitude will result in the abolish
ing of whipping. The warden said:
Il have made a very careful and
unbiased study of the effect of the
whipping post on men of this class,
and have come to the conclusion that
it is all bad. 1t brings out in a man
all that is reyengeful and hurtful,
and he arrays himself against law,
order and society"
Mr.. Meserve has dashed hundreds
of negroes and white men. He has
repeatedly stated that the principle
was wrong and has strongly advoeat-
ed the repeal of the medieval law
The whipping post has been Del
aware institution more than a Gen.
fury, but of late there has developed
a widespread sentiment against it.
At the last session of the legislature
the wisdom of abolishing it was fully
discussed. The general assembly re-
tanned the lashes but abolished the
pillory.

STATES ASKED TO
PROHIBIT SALOONS

WASHINGTON, Aug. Pin his
annual report recently submitted to
the secretary of war, the judge ad-
vocate general of the army has the
following to say concerning saloons
near military posts:
The operation of the act of Feb. ,,
1901, prohibiting the sale of beer,
etc, in any post exchange or canteen
or upon any premises used for mill
tary purposes" has undoubtedly
caused the location near military re-
seryations of resorts for the sale OF
intoxicating liquors, and which pam
der to the appetites and passions OF
those enlisted men who, largely by
reason of the prohibition in question,
frequent the same. These resorts
are beyond the control of the military
authorities, and their presence near
the military posts is highly detri-
mental to military discipline The
acting judge advocate, department OF
Missouri, speaking of the desirability
of suppressing these resorts, says:
"Unlooked for cooperation in this
behalf was effected by the last legis-
lature of Nebraska by an amendment
to the existing law providing that no
license should be granted by the au-
thorities of any village for the sale
of Intoxicating liquors within two
and one-half miles of any military
post This bill was strongly adyo-
Gated by this Office with concurrence
of the department commander, hay

resorts most detrimental to the dis

the criminal code, the sale of spir-
ituous liquors or wine to any troops
of the United States" inter ALA, ex
cept "such supplies as may be or
dered" by the officers of the army, is
prohibited under penalty of fine not
exceeding $50 and forfeiture of Ii
cense And in Illinois an act has
been passed by the legislature, APP
proved May II, 1907, which prohibits
the sale of intoxicating liquors with

A WIFE SHOULD Be
LOVING AND CHEERFUL
GREAT HUMAN NATURE STUDENT
FURNISHES CORRESPOND
ENT HER VIEWS.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox gives her
views as to the most desirable quail
tiles in wife. She says:
There are two words much en-
ployed in the world, old, old words,
but in them lies the essence of all
that makes for happiness in home life
These words are love and cheerful
ness.
| heard a man say his first, last
and only demand in a woman was a
power of loving, a quality possessed
by few, so he thought.
Perhaps he was right.
The majority of women seek to re-
ceive rather than to bestow affection
especially is this true of American
women.
But were | a man and did | know
the sex as | now know my ssterhood
would make my plea to the Fates
in this wise:
Give me, oh kind Destiny, COM
panion with the capacity of loving
and the habit of cheerfulness.
l have known loving women who
were monuments of melancholy.
In some natures love takes NOR
bid phase and is soon so mingled
with Representatives, and jealousy
that it is like sweet cream turned
acid for steady beverage.
Love and cheerfulness are the
qualities which make woman an
adorable wife, an inspiring mother,
a perfect friend.
Many woman loves her husband
SO unselfishly that she would die fos
him, yet she makes him miserable
with her melancholy outlook on life.
The woman creates the atmosphere
of the home.
Upon her devolves the responsible
ity of creating the climate in which
her family must dwell. Whether that
domestic climate is perpetual spring.
summer autumn or winter, she de-
cides it by her attitude of mind
No matter how little she has in her
life to make her an optimist, yet if
she is born with, or has cultivated,
a hopeful, cheerful, and humorous
way of looking at things her home
will always be a center for husband,
children and friends. They will seek
her presence as tourists seek warm
climate in winter.
Such a woman, with a delicate
physique, small means, many worries
and a husband inclined to take life
mournfully, has created a Paradise
for her whole family and enabled
those near her to surmount noun
tains and survive floods; and she has
turned defeat into victory and sorrow
into joy, just by her persistent optim-
ism and joyful serenity.
No genius, no beauty, no charm of
manner can compare with such a
habit of loving cheerfulness in a
woman.
She seldom plays the role of de-
serted wife.
Men often tire of beautiful, gifted
and good women, but they rarely tire
of a woman who makes life contin-
uous fete day by her delightful sense
of humor, her mirthfulness, and her
capacity for loving. Being lovers OF
| comfort, even the most selfish and
| immoral of men, when welded to the
woman who irradiates these quail
ties, find themselves more comfort
able in consistency than in seeking
new pleasures.
All hail to the cheerful woman,
She is a power for good in the uni
verse.
She is worth more than diamonds
| and rubies and mines and estates tC
| the fortunate man who possesses hel
companionship.
| All her children will rise up and
call her blessed.
