A COUPLE of weeks ago Governor
MacCorkle temporarily reprieved Dan
lei Shaver, the murderer of Absalom
Iser, who was condemned to be hung
at Romney. A few days later sever
al maudlin sentimentalists from Hamp-
shire county waited upon the Govern
or and urged still further clemency,
and he weakly allowed himself to be
influenced by them and committed the
death sentence to imprisonment for
life. When this action became known
a largely attended meeting of the cit
liens of Hampshire county was held
and resolutions were adopted strongly
condemning the Governor. The peo-
pie are justly indignant, for the muir
der of Iser, who was Shawen's brother
in-law, was a brutal and cold-blooded
one. The sentence of the court should
have been carried out.

SENATOR FRYE, Of Maine, out-jin-

newspaper reporter what he would do
if he were the government, which,
fortunately, he isn't. He would COB
bic up the Hawaiian Islands, annex
Canada, steal Cuba, turn Spain across
his governmental knee, assume con-
troll of all the islands of the sea, thrash
the other nations of the world and
make Rome howl in general-all with
out going through the usual forms Of
diplomacy or military operations. All
this must appear very alarming to the
balance of the world, but those who
understand Senator Frye know that
he is only talking through his hat.

THERE is sulphurous atmosphere
at Berkeley Springs, this State. A
couple of months ago a number of the
people of that place wanted the Legis-
lature to give authority for the leasing
of the State property there to syn
dictate that promised to build a big
hotel and make other improvements.
The lease was opposed and no action
was taken. By this time, however,
everybody in the county, almost, had
taken one side or the other, and the
most violent controversy has ragged.
The trustees recently agreed to sign
the lease without legislative authority,
and one faction was jubilant. Now
Judge Daley has granted an injunc-
ton preventing the lease, and the OPP
posing forces are on top. We conf
IDENTIFY expect that the military will
have to be called in.

A dispatch from Romney TO yester-
days Baltimore Sun says: A lynch
ing was only averted here last night
by the prompt action of the authori-
ties. Dan Shawen the murderer OF
Alb Izer, whose sentence was commut-
ed by Governor MacCorkle to life i'm
prisonment few days ago, was still in
Jail, as the official papers had not been
received from the Governor. Late
yesterday evening ]. NJ. Woods, one
ofthe prisoners attorneys, accidentally
learned that crowd had been organ
lied out in the country for the pur-
pose of lynching the prisoner that
night. Judge Daley and Sheriff Pugh
both being absent, the matter was laid
before the prosecuting attorney, w. b.
Cornwell, and Jailor Polling, who at
once secured a team to take the pris-
oner to Keyser, eighteen miles across
the country. The prisoner was taken
out and the start was made in a blind
ing rain-storm. However, stream
in the town was SO swollen that the
party was unable to cross, so they
drove down the river three miles to
an out-of-the-way house, and there re-
manned until morning. The prisoner
was then taken on board the early
morning train at a neighboring station
and was lodged in jail at Keyser. The
feeling against Governor MacCorkle's
action is still very strong.

three years to get the upper and lower
wet together" There is truth in this
and also danger. We have rich sur
face soil anlmost everywhere. Below
this, from foot 10 two or three feot
is a slbsoil containing more or less
clay, which after successive seasons Of
deficient rain fall, becomes almost a
cement. The reason is that in the hot
season the sun, in the beneficent pro-
cess Of evaporation draws it up from be-
low the moisture stored there up past
the plant roots which are thereby fed
land nourished, into the atmosphere
which cool currents of air above con-
dence into clouds and rain, and cool
nights distifl in dues upon the earth and
the vegetation which clothes it.
This process, however, if continued
gradually eXhauSts the moisture below
and leaves the subsoil hard, dry and
about as impervious as cement. In
this condition of the subsiol plant life
must depend wholly upon the moisture
falling from the clouds. When this is
insufficient over any area to keep the
surface soil in condition, plants begin
TO suffer, then wither. and finally die
in the hot air which, by a natural pro-
cess. arises and by an equally natural
process put in motion become the hot
winds of which we hear so much.
Now if the clay subsiol underlying
all our country had been prepared so
as to absorb the rain fall instead of
shedding il by seepage into the bottom
there never would have been any dry
seasons, nor hot winds in Kansas-this
al least rs my belief.
The simple remedy is to do for our
selves to save our water what people
farther east in the heavy guInbo lands
have long been doing 10 get rid of their
surplus water, ViS-subsoil. Subspiled
for twenty inches, as may readily be
done by any farmer, and | do not ne
IieVe there are many upland quarters
in this or any of the adjoining coun-
ties which will not produce any crop
and even corn, as richly every year as
irrigated land. In fact it will be sub
irrigated land where thoroughly sub
soiled. The reason is that our dashing
rains, instead of running off rapidly
into streams, causing freshets in all
the larger ones, will be absorbed into
The broken subsoil to be given up slowly
when wanted in the process Of opera
tion as described above.
Il am glad to see the common-sense
of our people is taking mold of this idea
and that the subsoiler is coming into
use in Kansas. The invention of build
ers Will keep pace with the requirements
Of the case. and a little experience will
demonstrate the merits of the various
devices already offered What is want
ed is simply something that will go deep
into the subsoil and break it up thor
oughly, but not lift it out to the surface,
so as 10 admit and hold water for use
Of VegatiOn. After that the sun is ali
the pump we need, and that, and the
ordinary rains and good cultivation.
This is simple, inexpensive and as
believe, viii prove perfectly effective
to keep the reputat ton of our farms as
the most productive in the west-the
Arkansas Valley as the garden spot of
America.
