HE ADVOCATES
Denver, Jan. 19—The whipping
post ought to be established in Col
orado, is the opinion of E. K. White
head, superintendent of the State
Society for Child and Animal Fro-;
tectiou. He believes such au ineti- j
tution would have a very salutary of-t
feet on certain classes of criminals j
who are giving the courts much J
trouble.
"Professional" wife beaters, fath-1
ers and stepfathers who are In the
habit of whipping their children too
severely. Quick tempered men who
take their 'spite1 out 0:1 horses when
armed with clubs, whips and sticks,
and men who refuse to support
their families are those whom White
head would punish with the knout.
"I would not punish them too se- j
verely, but I would make the pun-'
ishment fit the crime." he said.
"Ten lashes. I think, would be suf
ficient for the man who refuses to
support his family, with the under
standing that he was to get 30 more j
if he didn't get to work. This woul i
bring quick results from the non-sup-!
port list of men. The whip's use j
could easily be adjusted to fit the j
other crimes. I would have all >
whipping done in private."
