THE LIBRARY QUESTION

The free library for Newark
promises to be an interesting
topic for discussion.
The Citizen 5 Committee was ap-
pointed by the State Library Com
mission but delayed taking up the
subject until the New-Century
Club took up the matter for dis
cussion. Mrs. Henry Ridgely of
Dover gave an interesting address
before the club last week explain
ing the law and it's generous pro-
visions. 1t was expected that at
this weeks meeting of the club
some action would be taken voic-
ing the opinion of the members.
The Citizens Committee had
hoped the idea would meet with
the approval of the club and that
their support would be given I'M
mediately.
It is reported. however, that no
action whatever was taken The
committee will now hold its meet
ing and decide on some plan Of
action Although no action has
been taken by the club. it is un-
derstood that there are those ia
voring the plan and others strong
ly opposing it for various reasons.
God be thanked for books. They
are the voices Of the distant and
the dead and make us heirs of the
spiritual life Of past ages. Books
are the true Jewellers. They give
to all, who will faithfully use
them. the society and spiritual
presence Of the best and the great
est of our race. No matter how
poor | am. no matter though the
prosperous OF my own time will
not enter my obscure dwelling. il
the sacred writer's will enter and
take up their abode under my
roof. if Milton will cross my
threshold to sing to me of Para
disc. and Shakespeare. to open tc
me the worlds inauguration and
the workings of the human heart
and Franklin to enrich me with
his practical wisdom. ! shall not
pine for want of intellectual com
panionship, and | may become {

WHIPPING POST DISCUSSED

We wish to call attention to the
article on the Whipping Post APP
pearinu in another column 1t is
we'll worth reading..
It is surprising the attitude -
many take Of this form of punish
ment. And more surprising that
our ideas Of its merits are founded
in great part by the Say-so Of some
lawyer with whom we are acquaint-
ed. When Il man acquainted Cor
pretending 50 to be-. with the law,
courts and criminals. SAYS that the
safety Of life and property in Del
aware depend Oh this barbaric Gus
tom. we take it as almost supreme
authority. when rs d matter OF fact
it cannot be proven. Lawyers
again. contrary to the generally ac-
ceptcd belief, know but little Of
penology and are grossly ignorant
Of the advances made in the de-
terrent and corrective methods OF
punitive justice.
Simply because Il lawyer tells us
that the Whipping Post (and cap
ital punishment for that natter :,
are the best means of protecting
society, does not make it so. For it
is a matter of recorded fact that
these old farms Of punishment do
not reduce crime.
The reports sent out concerning
the brutality practised, at the
workhouse are grossly overdrawn
and the man who penned them is
unworthy of the name of a Della
Warean.
But that in no way alters the
fact that We are sadly behind the
times and not living according to
the spirit and best practice Of the
aye when we uphold and maintain
he Whipping Post.

miles from a railroad station. in
the mountains. and Miss Holman
took along a good amount Of med

of her friend. she began to take an
interest III the poor people around
her, and they came to her for
treatment.
Later she went to New York. but
soon returned to North Carolina

Ledger. where there was no physi.
elan and with a territory for prac.
tice 20 miles square.
