MARYLAND JUSTICE; WHIPPING POST

IL will not have gone unnoticed that down In Maryland justice has stings The whipping post in the little state Of Delaware is not the ono and only institution Of the kind In this broad land. for the neighboring state Of Maryland has one jus; as good, ono just as much feared by evil.doers. especially yife-beaters,
 IL Is the theory down in Mary land that q man who beats his wife Is entitled to licking himself. In the case Of the wife-beater sen- tcnced to receive five blows from "the cat" on his bare back. he will get them some time during his 60. day jail sentence. The sheriff evi- dently intends 10 let him worry about It for a while before teach Ing the wife-beater better domestic manners,
 Considering that the Maryland law allows q maximum Of 40 blows for wife-beating. the present cul- prit gets of rather easily.
 It also will not have gone unno. ticed that Maryland justice worked very swiftly in the case of the couple who were charged with causing the death of their fostcr- son. After a trial that lasted less than a week the father was found guilty and sentenced to IS years in the penitentiary; the wife Is seek ing new trial and may get it --- probably because she is a woman,
 There was time when Jersey justice was held up as being ae severe and speedy as British jus , tice. But in the justice league, i Maryland intends to be right up at the top.
 II there were a law allowing whipping post treatment for wife beating In Connecticut it is said this city would furnish a fair share of the candidates, judging entirely from police court records.

FUTURE OF NATIONS ON THIS PLANET

The English birth rate last year was below that Of the French. Both were low.
 Which facts prompts the Spring field Republican to ask, What is 10 become of western Europe?"
 At the same time the Springfield paper quotes Professor Albrecht Pcnck, q German philosopher, etc, who has been predicting the future population trend of the world.
 According to pcnck, Brazil will some day have a larger population than any other state in the world, giving it a limit of 1900 100000 people, against 600,00O,000 for China.
 Penck believes South America will some day have 25 per cent of the worlds population, North America 14 per cent, Europe and Asia 26 per cent and Africa 29 per cent, saying the tropics in Africa have great colonial possibilities.
 These figures are conjcctures, of course, and are based upon the probable ability of the soil in the various continents to sustain life. They may be right or wrong. but even if partly right yield food for thought.
 Considering that a thousand years in the life of the planet is like the wink of an eyelash in the life of man, the changes that ultimately will come will make conditions on thls planet in the year 9354 vastly different than in 1926.

The latter has long interested the public, The con- dition of the old building is such that a new one Is not luxury but a sani- tary necessity. Were it not for the sentiment which cnclusters 1t, 1t would have been denounced as a ramshackle years ago. The build lns is In bad shape, but it cannot be blamed for that, as 1t has given long and faithful service. The first sec ton Of the new structure will cost about s46,Oo0 and be of red brick, with fancy frontal trimmings.

JONAH AND THE WHALE

Editor New Britain Herald:
 I was quite. surprised 10 read the comments of Rev. T. A. Greene on the Jonah and the whale story. 1 suppose Jesus Tho was the incar- mated word, did not know what he was talking about. See John 1-14, also Matt. I2-41. also Luke 11-S2. While 1t Is true that not much is known about Jonah, think that the words of Jesus make him a real per- son and prophet. Isn't the Rev ercnd gentleman trying to tear down what he was ordained to build up mans faith in God and his redemp- ton through Jesus the Christ?

LAST OF STUBBY, 4 DOG HERO

n bo' ihLhto
 When stubhy was picked up as a stray dog needing a home at tho Yale bowl in 1917 his limited dog intelligence did not enlighten him as 10 what all the fuss was about. He had found new friends, lively chaps in khaki who made much ado about him and that was enough. The mythological dog heaven seemed to have come 10 Stubby.
 But it was not the Elysian Fields 9 which stubby was headed, but fields of gore, where loud detona- tons rent the air and steel whistled overhead, It was not for Stubby to wonder why his friends were thus employed; perhaps at times he marveled, in a dog-like way.
 Once, when the air reeked with he fumes from a smoke cloud, he tottered and fell. Loving hands dropped the grim business in hand long enough to carry him to a shelter, where wiso-appearing men in spectacles and fair friends in white worked tenderly over him. When he recovered there was jubi- lation In camp. as if another vic tory had been won, and stubby again proudly capered amid the ranks of his numerous masters.
 Once, after he had learned to recognize that men in a different color of uniform were enemies 10 his friends, he chased one into camp and was decorated with the ron cross taken from the man.
 In rescue work he became skilled and daring. But after a time the carnage palled, and just when he was spcculating whether lifo were intended to consist of such scenes as he had witnessed a wild shout went up, men threw their helmets into the air, the shooting ceased. and publication was on every side. Hundreds of friends crowded around Stubby and many credited him with causing the gods to yield the good luck of victory.
 Life remained one exciting day after the other for Stubby. Return ing to his native land with h's friends who of course, were members of the 26th dlyison-he vas taken wherever there were fhrongs and shouting, and once was the center Of a.. grave ceremony ~hen a man in high authority bent over him and pinned decoration npon his collar, l' was General Icrshing
