II is not often that the little state of
Delaware is heard from in the House OF
Representatives, but when she does arise
to address the chair she bellows like a
bull. 1t was worth while listening to
Representative Brockson of that state
when he took considerably more than an
hour in his effort to divest the House Of
the opinion that the whipping posts of
Delaware are inhuman, brutal. uncon-
stitutional. and relies of a medieval age
when pillories and alleged witchcraft
walked hand in hand.
Mr.. Brockson received great applause
for his oratory, which is just as loud as
that of Representative Sisson. who comes
from much larger state. Mississippi:
and the applause was not limited to the
members of the House. Over in the south
west corner of the gallery sat man who
applauded with his two hands just as
loud as any of the members. In fact
when Mr. Brockson made a particularly
strong point this well-wisher clapped his
palms so vigorously that doorkeeper had

galleries is not allowed.

numerous Smiths of Congress arose.

it not indicate that corporal punish

In the United States we have about $500

not more than 10000 or 10000 effective

about 100000 men, we should have to

five weeks; perhaps even less-so that IN
