out chimerical, this one, at least,
never can be defeated, injured or
eclipsed. AS man grows more IN
telligent the power OF managing
him by his intellect, and his moral
nature, in utter contempt OF all ap-
peals to his mere animal instincts
of pain, must go on pari passu.
"Many other reasons could be
urged for abolishing this practice
of whipping men than those | have
used in rebutting the arguments OF
it's advocates. But | will mention
but three, and these in brief.
"Today a reform in criminal
procedure is demanded. The prob
lem is largely to secure quick and
sure justice. The jungle of tech
nicalities into which the guilty man
can now escape is partly the result
of the brutal punishmens which
were once inflicted on the convicted
criminal. 1t is easy enough for a
white jury to send a negro to the
whipping post. But how is it when
the individual on trial is white and
member of their own social class 7
Does the conviction follow? And
will you close these loop-holes for
escape, if this punishment remains I?
"What must be the effect on the
executioner? Can man perform
this task of lashing grown men and
remain as he was before? [ will
not enlarge on this point. But note
that the state has hired him to do
a thing which it condemns in others
viz: to assault a fellow creature.
"It is against the general con-
census of opinion. | do not advise
senseless bowling to public opin-
ion, nor do |, on the other hand,
think it advisable to set up for
ones self different standard Of
conduct from that of all others,
without more valid and logical
reasons for it than those that have
yet been given in defense of the
whipping post.
"The whipping post must go. l
know it, and you know it. This is
no time to cry, What, ho An at
tack on our beloved State There
is nothing more to be condemned
than false patriotism. He who
says my country right or wrong
is no better than the thief who
says, My property, however OBJ
tanned. -

months in a palace prison. No
one has ever proposed such
course. The issue cannot thus be
beclouded. How many palace
prisons are there in Delaware, or
in the United States? have failed
to find one. If such one does ex-
list, let us give thanks that there is
at least one less dreary hell on this
earth. 1t means that somewhere
the forces Of reform have won their
first battle, which was to clean up
conditions, and now are ready to
attack the problem of making that
institution a filter, not a cesspool,
for the streams of humanity which
pour into it year after year.
"To turn to the whipping post
as an alternative to Imprisonment
means the postponement Of reforms
in our institutions. 1t is a step in
the wrong direction, for we know
full well that society will never
again take that path in seeking its
goal.
The worst of it is that the whip
ping post does not prevent recidi-
vism. In England men were whip
ped over and over again: and
right here in Delawre you will find
the same situation. Morrison says
there is no proof whatever
that fogging is a deterrent; there
is no proof that it prevents the Of
fender from repating the offense
there is no proof that it prevents
others similarly inclined from fol-
lowing in his steps, And a review
er of DR.. FEEDER recent book, Die
Prugelstrafe, says, 'Dr. FEEDER s
knowledge of the history Of cor
poral punishment is amazing; not
less than sixty countries are treat
ed in their position regarding it,
and with brilliant dialectics it is
proved that the twentieth century
has no need to return it.
" All coporal punishment what
soever, says De Quincy, and up
on whomsoever inflicted, are hate
full and an indignity to our COM
mon nature, which with or with
out our consent), is enshrined in
the person Of the sufferer. Degrad-
ing him they degrade us. Thanks
be to God, in this point at least, for
the dignity of human nature, that

THE WHIPPING
POST AS AN EFFEC-
TIVE PUNISHMENT
OF CRIME
Continued from page 3 }

Continued from page -
superstition of preventing crime by
subjecting criminals to cruel and
barbarous treatment. That it is a
superstition and nothing more can,
| believe, be proven. | am con-
vinced, indeed, that that gruesome
shadow, the desire to get even hides
oftentimes behind this whole ar
gument, but let us treat it on it's
own merits.
"You will notice that this idea
of balance is based on a pleasure
and pain theory of conduct-a the
ory of ethics which, by the way, is
largely discredited at the present
time. 1t is very dissatisfying ex-
planation of the conduct Of normal
men; and it furnishes little or no
insight into the lives of criminals,
many of whom are abnormal in
mind or in body.
1t is a well known fact that Grim
inals are notoriously short-sighted.
| find, for example, that large
per cent of the prisoners received
at the New Castle county work
house come from Pennsylvania
and Maryland. One would natur-
ally suppose that the deterrent eff
feet of the whipping post would
have led these men to stay at home,
or, in view of the small area Of
Delaware, that Delawareans would
have skipped over the border in
order to satisfy their cravings for
the taste of some one else's chick
en-. The only other supposition is
that these people fear imprison-
ment more than they do the whip
ping post, a supposition not allow
ed by the defenders of this form of
punishment.
eff men who commit crime were
so far-seeing as to calculate with
eXactness the pleasure to be OBJ
tanned from their contemplated
crimes, and to balance over against
it the possibility of detection, con-
viction and the pain Of fogging,
hey would be men Of sufficient
sense and acumen to choose another
.areer than that of crime, and they
would do so.

Aged, WrinkIed Faces
Easily Rejuyenafed

An aged face is often only a mask to
comparatively youthful person. Be
look upon. It's a simple matter to re-
move the mask. Ordinary mercolized wax,
to be had at any drugstore, gradually
absorbs the worn-out surface skin; In a
week or two the user has the loveliest
pinky white complexion imaginable. An
ounce of the was usually is sufficient to
complete the Transformation. II is put
ON al night like cold cream and taken oil
in the morning with warm water
This remarkable treatment is invariably
effective, no matter how muddy. sallow
or discolored the complexion. Freckles,
moth-patches, liver spots, pimples. black
heads and OTHER cutaneous blemishes. nat
urally vanish with the discarded skin.
To remove wrinkles. here is a recipe
that cannot be too highly recommended:
Powdered saxolite, ] or, dissolved IN
1b-pint witch hazel. Use as II wash To-
ton. 1t acts instantaneousy and is
wonderfully effective.
