the loving daughter, Mrs. Sallie
Edwards. She had been sick for
several weeks with pneumonia.
Dear Sallie was about "a years of

IN DEFENSE or The PILLoSY
English Writer Shows Some Good
Points About This OId-Time
Form Of Punishment.

Perhaps one of the few really demo
cratic institutions ever created was
the pillory. do not say that 1t was
q humane institution. though it was
certainly more humane than our sys-
TEN Of silent imprisonment. But be-
ing humane has nothing to do with
being democratic. You may have hu-
name and inhumane democracies, just
as you may have humane and inhu-
name despots.
The point is that the pillory was a
real appeal to the people. II it was
cruel, It was because the people we're
cruel. or perhaps justly indignant.
This people threw dead cats (the less
humanitarian, believe threw live
cats), but they could throw bouquets
and crowns of laurel If they liked.
Sometimes they did The argument
about the old public punishments cuts
both ways. The publicity was an adj
ditional risk for the government az
well as an additional risk for the pria-
oner, and this is specially true Of the
executions for treason. IT was no
small thing that half million men
might possibly treat as martyr q
man whom the king was treating as q
murderer: that the prince had to con-
cede to every obscure ruffan exactly
what that rufian probably wanted
most--fame.- @. X. Cbesterton. IN
