Want the Whipping Post.

In passing judgment on man
charged with having blackened his
wife's eyes, Police Magistrate House.
of New York, declared in court:
What this state needs IL whip
ping post for wife-beaters and am
willing to head a movement to estab-
lish IL. We also need something for
the wives who are beaten. From 10
TO 80 badly whipped wives come here
daily for warrants for their husbands
and then. when the brutes are ar
raigned, the women plead forgiveness
for them, refuse to prosecute and all
can do is to turn them loose. If
We had whipping post with a cato
nine-tails attachment, l think We
could discourage the wife-beating
habit"
A bill for the re-establishment Of
the whipping post in Peoria, H., has
been introduced in the Illinois state
legislature.

They Contain gao Pages.

The 1909 volume of public acts will
be ready for issue within a few days
and will contain $40 pages. which
is 300 more pages than in the public
acts of 1907. In fact. it will be one of
the bulkiest volumes ever compiled by
the secretary of state.
This book will contain the laws en-
acted by the last Legislature and one of
the main reasons for the large increase
in size of the book is the law pertain
ing to the highway code. However
in the number of acts. the book con-
tains Is less general laws thsn were
passed by the legislature Of 1907 and
ten less than the session of 1905. 1t
had been estimated that as the legisla-
tnre of 1909 would have to enact the
necessary legislation TO place some
features of the new constitution into
effect, the hook would be record
breaker. Instead. although the book
is more bulky, there are but 322 acts.
a less number than before.
The state publishes IA, ZOO volu mes
of-the public acts for the use of the
state. county and municipal authori-
ties and for general distribution
throughout the state.
