NO NEED OF WHIPPING POST.
The Woman's Association of Commerce, in conven
tion in St. Louis, was told by one of the speakers that it
ought to work for the re-establishment of the whipping
post for wife-beaters, along with other items of legisla
tive benefit to women.

Its may be that the whipping post is the only machine
-which will, cure the wife-beater. But removing the cause
of wife-beating would seem the saner and more f'Unda
jmcntal moye, and that has largely been done by eliminate
ing the liquor, which made the man iritable and ugly to
start with. ' ' :
Complaints against this sort of thing are ' said to
have decreased by high percentages in the eastern cities
even in the short period of operation of the dry law.
' The other radical measure of greatest effect is the
Americanization process.
