Justice and the Whip

Publication in recent issue OF The
Tribune Of picture showing the lash
being applied to public offender in
Ohio has caused considerable COM
ment and some argument as to the
relative methods Of Furnishing those
who break our laws.
There was a time when the lash
and the stocks were common instru-
ments of melting out legal punish
ment, but in recent years Delaware
has been the only state which has re-
tanned the whip. Now Ohio and pos
sibly some others have gone in for it.
1t is common knowledge, of course,
that in some parts of the South the
lash has long been used. A situation
which permitted the hiring out of
prison labor and the killing of con-
victs as a matter Of discipline and
perhaps of example, tolerated the
whip without comment.
Some persons may have ethical OBJ
jections to the use Of the lash and it
certainly is not in accord with recent
tendencies. On the other hand, we
are giving up lot Of ideas which we
once had and are reverting to old
fashioned things. Our thoughts on
the punishment of criminals may be
in line with the new trend.
What sort of deterrent to crime the
lash will be under modern conditions
remains to be seen but a logical FORE
cast would be that it will have diff
ferent effects on different individuals.
Some may be insensible to both the
pain and the shame.
Some, particularly those who de-
light in torturing others, probably will
cringe from the physical shock. To
still others, the pain would be borne
much more easily than the blow to
pride.
But no matter how it works out,
there can be no doubt that adoption
Of the lash is an aggressive effort to
reduce crime in this country.

The Budget Slash

News that the city commission is
lashing its budget and that the re-
uctions will be made effective all
own the line will bring cheer to
many struggling taxpayers who have
cen striving desperately, some with
ut success, to retain their homes or
Their property.
The movement is in the right direc-
ion. but until the budget is presented
the electorate and examined by 1t,
is impossible to tell what the popu-
ar reaction will be.
This document will be made avail
bile within few days and proper
publicity will be given to it. Analysis
~ each taxpayer will permit him to
orm his own conclusions regarding
he proposed expenditures of the city
or the coming year.
If he has opinions which are not
.ntirely in harmony with the actions
# the city's budget makers, he should
attend the public hearing which Is
provided for by law and make his
IDEAS known. The city commission
undoubtedly will welcome suggestions
One thing seems certain at this
writing and that is the desire OF the
people for substantial relief from the
AK burden. A mere gesture Will
hardly be enough to satisfy this popu-
ar demand.
If, when the budget is presented fol
public inspection, you feel the COM
nissioners have pared too deeply, at.
end the public hearing and tell the
members so. If you feel they have
provided for too heavy an expendi'
.ure, attend and tell them that. 1t i:

Rise and Walk
(By Herbert N. Casson in Efficiency

udS0ZlHe, LOnuOu)
You are depressed. You think you
are crippled. You are afraid of the
future. You are full of fears.
You have half the gold of the world
and half Of the machinery and most
Of the automobiles and all of the sky
scrapers.
You have the greatest home market
in the world and the largest corpora
tons that the world has ever seen.
You are ruled more by ideas and
less by tradition than any other peo-
pie in the world. You have usually
done what you thought you could do.
How can it be possible that pro-
gressive nation of 120000,00 people
can be wrecked by the speculation Of
little handful of fools in Wall
Street?
The prices that were forced too
high had to come down. Today all
the prices are too low
There is now a golden opportunity
for every man who has eyes to see it.
Dollars are now being sold for 30
cents. Practically every security in
the United States is being sold at less
than its value.
The way to create a fortune Is to
buy from pessimists. Pay your money
and take the risk.
Prick started his career by buying
coke ovens in the slump of 1873 Car
regie made $500, 000, 900 by buying
steel plants in slumps.
Hundreds of fortunes have been
made by buying from pessimists. Ye
gods! What chance there Is at this
moment!
In five years from now. most Amer
lean business men will belong to the
"1-Wish-I-Had-Club.'
Then it will be too late to buy a
dollar for 30 cents. The opportuni-
ties will be gone.
When horse balks the baik is in
his head, not in his legs. He moves
on when He thinks he will.
And when an American business
man is depressed the slump is in his
head. There Is nothing serious to
prevent him from making money If
he thinks he will.
When fear rules the will nothing
can be done, but when man casts
fear out Of his mind the world be-
comes his oyster.
To lose bit Of money Is nothing,
but to lose hope-or lose nerve and
ambition-that is what makes men
cripples.
This silly depression has gone on
long enough. Get rid Of it. 1t is in
side of you. Rise and walk.

New YOrk's Police Baseball
League

pei While politics, industry and inter-
Nv Nv national affairs hold their place on
int the front page lot Of interesting and
ersimportant news tends to get over
preIocxed. There is, for instance. the
way in which the New York police
lanforce has organized baseball league
Stsamong some 5000 youthful Manhat-
uaessstan East siders.
fro This affair, perhaps, can't compare
niu in Importance with such things as po-
Critical conventions and PREPARATIONS
~, conferences. But it is, nevertheless,
apa one of the most significant expert
by ments any police department in the
De country has ever attempted.
49, The New York cops have helped
cial these boys organize a baseball league,
providing the umpires for the games,
49,. arranging schedules, keeping track OF
fan batting, fielding and pitching aver
dec ages, finding fields for the players and
Ban seeing to it that everything runs
FL smoothly. And they have not only
mi enlisted 5000 boys, between the ages
tiol Of 10 and 10. in their athletic clubs;
TIT the games played have drawn around
.eu $4,000 customers so far this year.
Fec This program was announced by
of Police Commissioner Mulrooney as
tlor part of a crime prevention campaign.
= It is about as wise thing as any po-
ers lice department could hope to do.
Far In the first place, it gives young
o. city lads something to do with their
spare time. Youngsters who are play
ing baseball steadily don't have a
u great deal of time for corner pool
room or speakeasy loafing. Further
more, such things don't look so at
tractive to them. Nor Is lad to
be whom athletic greatness is something
fro, to be desired nightly quite as ready
ADD al. to make hero out Of gangland big
me- shot,
doy But there is another angle to 1t
con which is equally important. The boy
bo9 in this New York baseball league is
das discovering that the cop is his friend
instead of growing up with the no.
ton that the cop Is an enemy to be
outwitted. Anyone who has studied
the growth Of metropolitan gangs can

tell you how helpful the growth Of

lice of other cities could copy it to
