Richmond. Va„ Dec. 4.—Flogging,
some cases, for children; the
whipping pest for violators of cer-
tain laws, and sterilization of assail-
ants of women, were advocated by
Governor Baldwin of Connecticut in
an address delivered before the Gov-
ernors' Conference here. In his
speech Governor Baldwin declared
that he was more in sympathy with
the "class'cal school of penology"
that the "new or nolaler one, main
ly mad* up of aentimental humani-
tarians or theoretical psychologists.'
The former school, be said, "main-
tains that eliminate should ordinarily
be punished by subjection to some
form of suffering; the other that they
should ordinarily not be made to
suffer for their misdeeds excep as
nature forces it upon tliem through
the mln, but that their treatment
ty the sun, should be aimed pri
marily at their moral improvement.
"There Is certain crime of which
one seldom speaks,'' Governor Bald-
win continued. Its very name has
come to be banished from our news-
papers. Yet the thought of it is a
daily terror to every woman in the
south and brings a sense of uneasi-
ness and constraint into the life of
her northern sisters. It is the cause
of most of those lynching cases whicii
Jisgrace our civilization. It Is to be
kept down only by the severest
methods.
"Is It too much to say if the
court* are not ready to apply thes -
the peopl" will? The people who
may thus bring some ruffian to his
death will not be the beat people in
the community. They may occa
slonally seire the wrong man. But
has a conviction ever yet been had
in the United States of any one of
mob of lynchers for hanging a negro
accused of rape?
"That crime does a wrong to
woman which many of them hav
deemed worse than death. Such
man is no fit subject for an inde
terminate sentence. He has proved
his inherent weakness of will power
In every clear case of rape, in my
judgment, there should be an opera
ion of sterilization."
In discussing what he termed the
two schools of modern schools of
penology, Governor. Baldwin said:
"Modern penology, in both schools
as acceptel imprisonment aa the
main method of punishment. The old
plan had been to U8e capital punish
ment very freely; bodily mutilation
.coasionally; flogging often.
"Capital punishment, which In
• 'nckstone's day, England inflicted
for 160 offenses, is now universally
restricted to a very few, and has been
totally abolished In many jurlsdic-
ions. Visible, bodily mutilation has
also disappeared. Flogging remains
illy In exceptional caaea, as for
children So far, It seems to me, that
should be preserved.
'A prison, do what you will, is
heerless pluce, and its associations
ndesirable. Its maintenance brings
large expense to the state, which
the earnings of the prisoners, in
■08t cases, are quite inadequate to
meet, particularly when they are
•serving short sentences. The inde-
terminate sentence is the remedy for
this, at present most popular. But
for certain classes of offenders, It
hardly fits the case.
"A wife-beater, for Instance, or the
burglar who uaea torture, to compel
his victims to produce their valu-
ables, ought to suffer a certain
punishment which he may know be-
forehand. it seems to me that the
prospect of a whipping—of course a
troderape and private one would often
lest answer that purpose. I hav>
myself, when serving on the bench,
more titan once sunt cnlprlis to jail
where It would. I think, have been of
more good tc the interests of public
Justice to inflict a punishment short-

London, Dec. 4.—Servia haB Issued
a decree calling for service all men
in the country capable of Dearing
rniB, according to a dispatch from
fcn authoritative source at Sofia.
ltiiHsIa has retorted to "the rattling
of the German sword." She declared
■.he would not submit to repetitions
of the methods used when Austria
ccupled Bosnia and Herzgoylula.
Commenting upon the German
hancellor's giving prominence to the
war idea, the Novce Vreyma says:
"Such Intimations will frighten no-
body."
The war parties of both Russia
and Austria seem to hold the upper
hand, and any provocative act by
Servia may loosen forces the gov-
ernments would be unable to control.
What a big bluff one can make
with a little smattering of knowl-
edge.
