whipping post, which our neigh
bors in the State of Delaware have
never allowed to be abolished, con
stitutes the enly appropriate and
deterrent punishment. Governor
Roosevelt put himself on record the
other day as in favor of it. It has
been the habit, not without reason.
to resrard the whipping post as a
relic of barbarism, but the fact re
mains that there are some human
brutes who are insensible to any
other thau physical punishment.

It would only deter them from re
peating a peculiarly despicable of
fense.
