THE wHIppING-PosT.

From the Dover Index.
II was probably expected that Con-
pressman Brockson should object to the
means employed by a member of Con-
press from another State to interfere
with the execution of a sentence by our
court of two burglars to a double dose
of the whipping post, but that he should
attempt to defend and Justify the whip
ping post was rash indeed. The fact is
that the whipping post IS indefensible
in this enlightened day, and Congress
man Brockson added nothing to the
usual strained arguments in its favor
1t is not surprising that men who have
made a study of penal laws and punish
ment of offenders should be shocked and
become indignant at the Delaware whip
pinc-post. Delaware is all right, and we
are lust as loyal as any one can be, but
there are some things that we are not
proud of Among these is the whipping
post. We have already expressed our
selves at some length and will content
ourselves now with the wish that our
congressman would find something to do
more useful than rchashing the oft-re-
lfuted and unc0nyincing arguments in
favor of relict of the barharous past
and Of which most Delawareans are
ashamed. We have retained the whip
lping-post ike we retain our antiauated
system Of pleading and practice, because
we are slow Go change and timid about
facing new conditions.

wHIPPINe-Posr DISCUSSION.

From the Newark Post.
"Moudlin sentiment" that is the cpl
thet hurled at every advocate Of penal
reforn-snce the world began. Every
advance that has been made in the ad-
ministNtion of punitive justice has had
TO face this question. "Maudlin senti-
ment' indeed that has been the accusa-
tion always.
Yet that is not the cause of opposi
tion to the whipping post. There is a
sterner and stronger opposition which
will win out when the citizens realize
the truth OF the scientific fact that this
form Of punishment neither reforms the
criminal nor detcrs crime. The science
1 of penology and criminology, to which
the world must look for facts, upon
which to formulate the code OF punitive
Justice, are strongly in accord in con-
demnation of this form Of punishment
not from "maudlin sentiment" but from
a scientific observation. Let those who
uphold the whipping post cease hurting
epithets and challenge these scientific
facts with which all students of society
are acquainted.
Our administration Of punitive justice
has reached its present stage OF i'm
] prOvement, not by 'maudhn sentiment
! but by the recognition Of a punitive
Justice founded on observation and sci
entifc experience.
Tho advocates of the whipping post
resent the accusation that it is a dis
grace to civilization" While It may
not be that. we hesitate to adopt it as
the seal of Delaware's superiority
The whipping-pos bias got to go
sooner or later-not on account of
"maudlin sentiment" but because of a
sense OF justice to even criminals
which is only another means of guaran-
teeing 'the greatest good to the great

REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE
FOR FEWER DELEGATES
Plan Approved to Cut South's
Strength in National
Convention.
NEW REPRESENTATION 149
Compares with 228 in 1912
Scheme Will Add to
Balance of Power
Held by North.

Washington, Oct. 1.--Another step tow
ard reducing Southern representation In
Republican NATIONAL conventions was
taken to-day, when the Republican Con-
gressonai Campaign Committee gave
tentative approval TO the suggestions OF
an advisory subcommittee, named to in
vestigate the much debated question. The
Congressional committee did not take
formal action, owing to lack Of full at
tendance.
Representative Champion, Of Michigan
chairman OF the advisory subcommittee,
presented three plans to reduce Southern
representation. After general discussion
the members OF the Congressional COM
mittee decided that the first Of the
schemes suggested was the more workable
and equitable. 1t is, in brief:
That each state shall have four dele
gates-at-large and delegates for the sew
eral Congress districts. as follows: For
each district in which the total Re
publican vote cast in 1908 was 40 per cent
or less OF the total vote, one delegate
for each district in which the Republican
vote was between 10 and so per cent OF the
entire vote cast. two delegates; for each
district in which the Republican vote was
mere than 50 per cent OF the total. three
delegates
In any state where a reapportionment
act has not been passed to provide the
full number OF Congress districts such
state shall be entitled 10 a delegate
at-large for each representative-at-larg
in Congress at the ratio prescribed. COM
pairing the full vote OF the state with the
Republican vote Of the state. In Arizona
and New Mexico 1t is proposed that the
apportlonment shall be based on the vote
for representatives in Congress.
The Congressional Campaign Committee
took the initiative in readjusting the reg
at Republican national con-
ventions Only that a definite plan OF some
sort may be presented TO the Republican
National Committee when II meets.
Early in the year il was proposed 10
call the national committee together In
Washington within sixty days after the
extra session Of Congress adjourned. The
session has dragged on. however. and
Chairman Hilles has not yet called a
meeting OF the committee.
When the committee meets 1t is probaoie
that the Congressional committee Will
have perfected the scheme suggested To-
dav. and which will bring about an entire
reimbursement Of the representation Of the
several states in the national conventions
Of the Republican party.

Washington. oct. 1.-The sending Of an

the prospect Of trouble in Piedras Ncsras,
formerly called Ciudad Porfirio Diaz,
which may soon be captured by the fed
cral forces There may be considerable
fighting I'm the vicinity OF Eagle Pass. and
as the rebels had threatened to blow up
the bridges across the Rio Grande, as
well as the public buildings in Piedras
Negras. the American military authorities
thought IT best TO augment the forces at
Eagle Pass.
A large number Of wounded rebels have
been brought into Eagle Pass from Piedras
Negras by order OF General Bliss com
manding the American forces on the Dor
der.
The step followed the receipt OF infor-
nation that the wounded. variously esti-
mated at from IS TO 300. had been sban-
doned by their doctors In the Mexican
town and were In need OF assistance. At
first General Bliss on receiving this re-
port. telegraphed the War Department for
instructions. The people of Eagle Pass
the line. Later General Bliss decided 10
take care OF the wounded as matter OF
humanity. lie did not walt for the War
Departments permission. but he has since
received the departments official approval
OF his action. Tho wounded were loaded
in cars and carried across the border.
where they are now under the care OF
American physicians.
Orders that no American troops he sent
into Mexican territory at Picdras Nesras
without specific instructions from Wash
ington went from the War Department
to-day to Brgadier General Bliss. The
administration is confident that there will
be no Developments TO make necessary n
departure from its settled policy of non
