THE CAT-O-NINE TAILS.

Recently two men were sentenced
in the United Kingdom to five years
i'll the penitentiary for attempted
post office robbery. where two wo-
men were on duty. and who were
terrorized and threatened by the
robbers. In addition to the pena
servitudc sentence twenty lashcs
each were imposed by the Judge. 1t
is understood that criminals whose
offcnse does merit capital sentence
will pull down whipping post
sentence in addition.
The English papers generally. il
is understood, endorse this new law.
Notwithstanding it is step back
wards. The lash is dreaded more
than prison bars by criminals gener-
ally, and dctcrs when nothing else
short Of the electric chair will. "The
cat is Il relic of barbarism," they
tell us. Maybe so, but crime is also
n relic of barbarsm, and the punish
ment should fit the crime. If pa
rent may apply the rod to his REBEL
ious child as a corrective and deter
rent measure, may not the state do
the same if its subjects do not be-
have them selves? 1t is question
about which people differ, and per-
haps will never agree upon.

INTERCHURCH WORLD MOVE
MENT MAY NOT COLLAPSE.

AT recent meeting in New York
of the Executive Committee, the
original plan to raise the sum of
$500, 900 900 was Abandoned and the
Movement will be reorganized OH a
greatly modified scale, and the work
continued in order to conserve work
already done. AS originally planned
and projected, this was the most
ambitious and gigantic enterprise
ever attempted. 1t seems that the
good and wise men at the head of
the enterprise, lost their heads, as
we say, and bit off too large a mouth
full. Good business men too, they
were, but their judgment went wild
on this movement.
While the general public was hope
full, at the same time it was skep-
,tical from the beginning, and the
more that was known about it the
more skepticism grew Even the
skeptics regret that the wonderful
attempt did not succeed, and still
have hopes that the objects may be
attained.
