The Whipping Post in Maryland.

The Whipping Post In Maryland
From the Baltimore American.
Again has the whipping post been
used in Maryland. This time it was
in the Frederick jail that a wife
beater was given ten lashes as pun
ishment for his crime. The blood was
drawn and the man wassnot injured,
although the whip was vigorously ap-
piled. Before he has served his thirty
DAYS Imprisonment, which was a part
of his sentence, he will be all right
again. There have been but two ap-
piications of the lash in Frederick in
the last ten years, one Wife-beater
having been whipped a year ago.
Whenever the whipping post is used
in Maryland criticism is passed upon
the State for a practise that is in
some quarters considered barbarouS
and out of keeping with the times
The law was passed by the Maryland
Legislature in 1883 and provides that
any person who shall brutally assault
and Ebeat his wife shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction shall be sentenced to be
whipped not exceeding forty lasheS
or be imprisoned for a term not eX-
ceeding one year, or both, at the dis
erection of the court.
The law has not been enforced many
times, but there can be no doubt or
its excellent deterrent effect. 1t has,
without question, reduced the num-
Der of fragrant cases of wife-beating
in this city and State. Nothing has
been heard lately of any effort to take
it from the statute book, and the
Wisest plan is to let it alone. Mary
land uses the lash only on wife-beat-
ers and does not apply it to thieves
and other criminals, as does the State
of Delaware The law has done more
good than harm in this State

afflicted people who do not think as
you do. They will give you useful

From 1.-THE Panama Canal by Frederic
J. Haskin.
With the current thus checked, the
Charges river will lose all power to
interfere with the navigation of the
canal, although upon the bosom of its
water will travel for a distance of
thirty-five miles. all the ships that
pass through the big waterway from
Gatun to Miratiores.
This fresh water will serve use
full purpose besides carrying ships
over the backbone of the continent.
Barnacles lose their clinging power
in fresh water. and when a ship
passes up through the locks from sea
level to lake level and from salt
water to fresh, the barnacles that
have chung to the sides and bottom
of the vessel through 1000 miles oil
sky hooting through the brine will
have their grip broken and will dror
off helplessly and fall to the bed oi
the lake. which in the course of years
will become barnacle paved. How
many times in drydock this will save
can only be surmised, but the shin
that goes through the canal regularly
will not have much bother with bar
nacleS.

Real MiIItants Are Scarce.

London Correspondence New ork Sun.
The Daily Mail prints this morning
what it calls "a carefully considered
statement obtained from high sources
in reference to the governments atti-
tude toward the militant suffra-
gettes." It reiterates previous state
ments in the same paper to the eff
feet that the cat and mousse act is
steadily crushing the militant move
ment and adds:
THE Womens Social and Political
Union is no longer able to command
the activities of more than a very
few militants. The days OF organized
conspiracy and big raids are long
past. A year ago there were fifty or
more women ready to commit mill
tant crimes. Nearly all of them have
been forced to abandon their Grim
inal activities by repeated punish
ment. Militant crimes are now con-
fined to about a dozen women, of
whom seven are well known Several
of them are paid servants of the
Women's Social and Political Union.
1--WE are rapidly approaching the
residue of these fanatics. The few re-
naming militants continue to appear
and reappear in connection with fresh
crimes"
Reference is made to the many sug-
gestions sent to the home office. The
most usual Of these is that the
women should be allowed to die in
Jaf The Daily Mail says:
This responsibility the government
will not at present assume. The suf-
fragette leaders are undoubtedly
hoping for the death of one Of their
fanatics In order to regain public
sympathy which the movement has
lost. Similar objections apply to
placing criminal lunatics in an
asylum.
In regard TO deportation of the
women, it is asked who is going to
feed them If they are deported. The
conclusion is that the present
methods are the best, indeed the only
ones now applicable, and it appears
from the steady reduction of militant
crime and criminals that they are
successful. The law will be steadily
and ruthlessly applied.
Finally 1t may be said that the
police are having increasing difficulty
in protecting them from the out
ragged fury of the people after their
crimes

exception of Chief Justice Chase and
every member of the Supreme Court

Compares Auto Owners with Dog Owners
in Responsibility for Damages.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Because
the owners of dogs are responsible
for the damage they do, so the own
ers of automobiles should be respon-
sible for damages they inflict. Such
was the argument on which the Su-
preme Court was asked today to hold
constitutional the Michigan motor
law making automobile owners liable
for damage inflicted by their auto
mobiles.
The case was brought up by the
Metzger Motor Car Company, whose
tester injured two men and boy in
a cart one night while he was out

Decrease in the Use of Umbrellas.
rrom the Pathfinder.


From the Pathfinder
The umbrella. the manufacturers
complain, Is being used less and less
as time progresses, and not half as
many are sold now as formerly.
Thousands of persons, who used to
carry umbrellas, now ride to and
from their places of business under
the waterproof top of an automobile,
which affords all needed shelter from
the elements in stormy weather.
Other reasons are the raincoats and
waterproof rubber garments now so
universally worn.
The improved street-car service, as
compared with that of the old-time
horse cars, also has helped cause the
decrease; the cars run so frequently
that people are willing to take a
chance of getting wet rather than
incur the inconvenience of carrying
umbrellas or having them stolen,
knowing that they can board a car
in an emergency. Thus the umbrella
is gradually becoming rarer, and the
time may come when they will again
be looked upon as sign of infirmi-
ty. In the same way rubbers are
being discarded to a large extent.
