Page Eight The Capital Journal. Balm, Oregon JudgeAsks Return Of Whipping Brooklyn Jurist Says Infliction ot rnysicai Pain Is Surest Cure for Crime New York, May 19. Lay tne laush upon the felon's back! Administer sharp physical pain and thereby purge the criminal of his desire for evil deeds and pro tect innocent citizenry against his depredations! A cure for crime so old that Its new suggested by Lewis L. Fawcett. of the supreme court of Brooklyn! The remedy novel enough in these days would bring back the old institution of the whipping post, the cat-o-nine-tnils and per haps the stocks. "Stone walls do not a prison make," obeserved an old poet, and likewise has Judge Kawcett re peated the familiar line in con nection with his radical recom mendation. And let it be Known nere iu Judge Fawcett has been widely xtolled for his clemency, and oft en called the man who wears "his heart upon his lapel." Hence tae .luriihn, aunact of his cure for rime. Long prison terms do not deter or prevent crime, declares the Jus tice, who, several days ago, after passing sentence upoi. a man con victed of a holdup, announced him self in favor of the whipping post, combined with shorter period of punishment in jaw. "I would recommend the use of the lash upon certain types of criminals," the Judge Bald today. "For robbery, burglary, blackband and white slave crimes; let the sheriff lash or hire huskies to whip these especially grave ofT fenders." The personal opinions of the judge upon crime and punishment are not prompted by lack of sym pathy for transgressors, or a belief that vengeance constitutes justice, Nor does he go to the senti mental extreme of saying that to sentence a felon to a whipping would pain the court more than it .would the criminal. Belief that nowadays we do not mrooarly punish crime or try to mvatf An f It had nrAmntiiH Iimlii'f Fawcett to advocate publicity the return to the lash as a meana of promoting protection for normal peaceful people. "The criminal's state of mind,' aaid the Judge, "is quite that of tha child caught at the jam Jar If he is taken early, enough and given a punishment he won't for get. He in apt to stay away from tha Jar. If not, he will become holder and more complacent over his crimes. "Men go to Sing Sing and come out time after time with a feeling, not that they have puld for crime, but that they have merely obtain ed usvluin for a while. "Bed and board at the expense fif th tuxnuvpi'H form the onlv risk that confronts the holdup man or White slaver In the pursuit ot his career. "If he Is caught he goes bark aeain. relieved of thu strain ot work,' enjoys the comparatively nleaaanl existence in our modern penitentiary . and suffers no puu leave the state where such severe penalties await him. "He will never come back for more. "He will not blackjact any more lonoeent citizens to drive them insurably insane from blows on the skull. He will not rob and Injure any more victims and make litle children dependent upon stituional care and force helpless women unfitted for work to go out into the world of toil. The defec tive, of course, should not be whip ped. But we must believe that many bad people want to be bad." Car Wrecked on Bridge; Woman Sues to Recover Dallas, Or., May 19. J. H. Hel gerson, district attorney for Polk county, is now in McMlnnvine, where he is defending the county In the suit filed by Clara M. Ed wards for damages sustained when she drove her automobile over the edge of the bridge near (hc rirM rvook uhrml in the south west part of the county in June of last year.

She therefore filed a complaint for the damages to ni car and got a change of venue, tak ing the case to Yamhill county. r wm. ASH STABOrHG MAY ALLISON.

Then there Is something wrong In the method of unlshment. "Instead of giving a fourth of fender 'lite' always his fate- would recommend six months In Jail with a lashing -every ihlrty days, the first strokes to fall pre vious to Incarceration.
