A Fine Spirit

Although there few newspapermen of long
experience who agreed with the methods adopted by
Cornelius Vanderbilt when he launched several tab
lold newspapers and magazines, from financial
angle, the old age Of newspaper cut-throat antag-
onism is past and gone and every newspaper pub
Usher worthy of the high ideals of the profession,
extends to Mr.. Vanderbilt his sympathy in the fin
ancal difficulties which have cnsnared him.
Few can help admire this outspokcn, sincere SON
of Brigadier General Cornelius Vanderbilt, who,
when his father refused to lend his publishing cor
pcration money, retained competent counsel and an
nounced to the newspapers Of the country that he
was oke,' that the company needed $500 900 with
which to keep running and that he stood ready to
pledge his patrimony of $l5OO,OO0 as security for
that amount.
1t will be remembered that no so long ago this
same newspaper publisher startled the country when
he published. the front page of the miami Daily
Tab" Florida, boxed editorial in which he scored
society for dropping Ellin Mackay after her mar
rage to Irving Berlin In this editorial young Van
derbit spoke out quite vchemently against the snob
berry iof society and quoted the owy origin of the
Vanderbilt family to prove his point.
Consequently Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr. has proven
himself something of man. His course has been
an open one. He has made mistakes in his manage
ment of his papers. He admits it and wishes, as
far as he is able, to set things to rights Let us
hope he succeeds.

The Whipping Post

Considerable comment has resulted from the rcs
cent fogging Of convicted wife-beatcr in Bati-
mere jail. Indignant remonstrance has arisen on
every side from people who were in sympathy with
the poor man" 1t is an inhuman method of pun
shment. they say, and which any civilized COM
munity should hesitate to The CATO nine tails
they characterize relic of barbarity.
But as matter Of fact it is punishment only
adequate for the crime for which it paid. Imprson-
ment under MODERN humane, sanitary conditions, is
no longer feared. 1t is merely an extended vaca
ton. But the lash. That is a different matter. As
the whip descends upon the bare back the culprt
feels it bite through the flesh 1t is painful pun
ishment, net only for the moment, but for some
time afterwards and even the most hardened GRIM
inal will think long time before committing mis-
demeanor crime for which the lash is the pun
ishment.
Let us get waay from any sickly sentimentality
on the subject. A wife-beater is a despicable per-
son. That is admitted During the beating the wife
must have suffered and her injuries make her suffer
long aftcrward. Why isn't it true poetic justice
that the man who performed the beating suffer the
exact amount of similar physical pain in expiration
of the wrong he did his wife and society at large?
criminal is criminal All the parlor moralists
in the world can't change the fact Of his crimnality
They may bewa his early environment. they may
point to his unfortunate companions by whom he
was induced to commit crime, they may send flowers
to the Unfortunate man" in Jail. they may appear
before the pardon board to plead for clemency for
the criminal but they cannot change the stark fact
that we are today coddling criminals and making it
almost impossible to enforce the law These so-called
"uplifters' causing harm than good and
their activities are to be discouraged

Editorial Comment
A Defeat For the Middle West
Chicago Tribunc)


The Haugcn bill has been defeated in the house by
vote of 2l2 to 1877 The bill was drawn at the de-
mand Of the farmers of the middle west and most
OF its support came from the corn belt The bill
was defeated because the middle west was divided
Eight congressman from Illinois voted against the
BILL The Iowa delegation solidly in favor of it,
but two representatives from Wisconsin, three from
Indiana, nine from Michigan, one from Minnesota.
four from Missouri, three from Nebraska and one
from Kansas voted against it.
Other sections of the country get what they wan.
and need because they demand it with one voice.
Their representatives approach representatives
OF other sections to trade measure for measure The
middle west has much to learn from New England,
which has this of solidarity developed to high
degree. New England's industries have not ackcd
protection because all New England has supported
the tariff heartily.
The corn belt farmers are n3t entirely free Of
responsibility for the defeat. They did not call the
representatives from the industrial centers into con-
ference when the bill was being framed They did not
seek the advice of manufacturers bankers and bus
mess men. They did not realize that men Of in
fluence throughout the region were willing to coop
crate with them to improve the Let Of the farmers
It only because the prosperity Of the entire valley
depends largely upon increasing the buying powc:
Of the rural communities. The farmers preferred to
go it alone, and in consequence they went alona to
defeat.
The collapse Of the Haugen effort calls attention
to the need for amddle western program which viii
unite farmers and city dweers for their mutual adj
vantage. The vote Of the rural middle west nearly
passed the Gooding bill, which would have saddled
an injustice upon the agriculture IS well the in

The next face passed down the

bottom face said to the Whiffet,

Up went the question from one
mouth to the other until it came to

Totem Pole. Then down came the
answer again a step lat time,
"Three leagues and goose step

Forced Chapel

In a majority Of the questionnares sent to 3l5
colleges. the presidents, replying to their opin-
ions about oblgng students to attend chapel stated
that they approved and gave as the benefits to be
derived thercfrom religious and nsprational value
of the service
No doubt the worthy people are sincere in their
opinions. but just certainly they are mistaken.
Virtue be neither legisatcd commanded;
virtue is voluntary The very act of forcing per-
son to do thing predisposes him against it, and
the benefits are doubtful.
There is passion abroad in America today to
legislate morals and public behavior beyond safe
point. Compulsory chapel is complete mockery Of
the spirit Of divine worship which should prompt
such attendance. Forced attendance is attendance
Of the flesh; not the spirit and consequently is
failure, from religious standpoint,
