THE MIRROR OF
PUBLIC OPINION

pietion Of certain treaties calculated
not only to assure penco In tho Pacific
area, but also TO mitigate tho horrors
OF war everywhere by tho restriction
OF submarine warfare and tho outlaw
ing of poison gas ms n weapon. Many
of us felt that mankind had made ono
OF tho atrides which carries II from
one epoch TO another. And there was
n good deal OF nervousness iest there
should be failure TO rntfy these
treaties by tho Senate. or In the event
of ratification. delay should be so long
IA TO impair the moral effect.
In brief. then. here was American
leadership In movement looking TO
limitation OF armament, the liberation
OF Aslatlc lands from tho encroach-
ments OF imperiallsiic milltarlsm. tho
administration OF vast areas on

of poison gaa. In other words, n body
of facts I'm direct line with numerous
fancies regarding what we ought TO
havo done or ought to do. Our gov
ernment did something. II led off. II
proposed undertakings. II made sac
riilces. II entered into agreements.
And it has acted on theae agreements.
Tho treaties are ratified. The naval
establishment is being reduced TO the
dimensions authorized by tho treaties
what about all these other nations
which nre awaiting only for American
leadership?
The United States Ia tho only first

of these treaties, md the only one
which shows the slightest disposition

PRAISE FOR THE POST.

Judge William NJ Gemmili of Chi
cago in his report TO the law enforce
ment committee OF the American Bar
Associat ton. gave high praise TO Della
wares whipping post as a protection
10 the State against invasions by des-
perate and able criminals. That high
clas. burglars fear the imposition of
>he lash which confronts them in
Delaware has been evidenced for
nearly half a century. and still is OBJ
servable, Notwithstanding the remark

Referring TO the prevalence OF des-
perate and dangerous criminals in his
home city. Judge Gemmill asked: lis
IL not better that We should inflict
stripes upon their bare backs, the
only thing they fear. than that the
law will be defied and our homes in
vaded?"
Decidedly II is. And there Is ample
evidence that sentiment in favor oi
corporal punishment for certain un-
usually dangerous classes of criminals
is on the increase. English law is re.
storing the use Of the lash, as not only
an appropriate punishment for crime
/ but as a deterrent.

The Rainfall Thursday
The Heaviest For Years

This section was visited on Thurs
day last by rainfall the like of which
has not been witnessed in this section
for years. Wednesday the fall was
slight, but sometime before day on
Thursday morning the wind hauled to
the northeast and it the rain began to
descend in torrents. And the worst of
it was that it kept one pace until a.
bout the noon hour. 1t was really
the heaviest rain that we have expert
cnced for years. Many of the slots OF
IT, town were submerged and it
would have been an easy task to have
lowed small boat down some of our
streets-particularly portions of Ma
, Il street and Fourth street.
