Booth. No one. ! suppose. comes
into close personal touch with the
prisoners 50 much as she does and
knows the effects of the various
methods Of punishment and the
causes Of the reformation of men
who have been behind the bars.
And Mrs. Booth gives as her con
viction that the effect Of this sort
OF punishment is only to embitter
the men. Now, any one who has
had anything to do with the men
who are behind the bars knows
very well that the first thing to do.
and the hardest thing at the same
time, is to rid the mind Of the
prisoner Of the idea that the law is
necessarily his enemy. He is for
some time apt TO be most respntfui
against the State and against the
judge who pronounced sentence. |
heard Mrs. Booth once tell the
men frankly that it was not the
Judge S fault that they were there.
but their own. Until the men are
disabused Of embitterment and re
sentiment there cannot begin the
reformation that is possible. Now
what maintain is that the whip
ping is only conducive to embit-
tprment and has no other effect.
Yes, if has one other effect and
that is an effect upon the perpe-
traitor that is in every way bad.

OF course. He has no option in the
matter. But what | mean is that
such punishment is unworthy of
State and that the State that
stoops to it does that which is un-
worthy of itself and which tends
only to degrade.
I'm order that might not err.

ION about this matter. | witnessed

sire to say that no one could have
carried out the sentence Of the
courts with more consideration
and care. under the circum-
stances. than did the warden and
his deputies. The sensational re
ports that described the previous
whipping were most absurd. 1t
was difficult to tell what effect the
IaShrS had ON the skin of the ne
gro"S. but when it came to the turn
OF the white man to be whipped. /
there was evident severity enough
for any one. | do not think that
blood was drawn. but the wclts
were large and there was at least
one that was exceedingly bloody.

arm quickened at all the punish
ment would have been brutal. I. .

puerile. If it is not such. but is .
