SHEEP INDUSTRY IN KITTITAS.

The Ellensburg Localizer estimates
that the sheep industry will bring
into Kittitas county, within the next
four months, a cash return of $780,
900. That will come directly from
the sales of wool and mutton, made
nv the flockmasters residing in the
city or vicinity 1t represents por-
ton of the annual income derived
from the range industry of that sec
ton. 1t is a part OF the proceeds
from a country described by the
Localizer as 1.-The foothills of the
Cascade mountains in Kittitas and
Chelan counties for summer range,
and between EllensDurg and the Co
lumbia river in Kittitas, Chelan and
Berton counties, for winter range"
What an object lesson those fig
ures suggest to the farmers of Kit
titas and other grass growing coun-
ties of the state. The old range in
dustry is rapidly disappearing. New
homes are being carved from the
immense areas of government lands.
Intensive farming is taking the place
of the big ranch system. Districts
formerly occupied by only one band
of sheep now furnish food and profit
for numerous families. Ana the new
era in agricultural demands many
changes The watersheds must be
protected for irrigation purposes.
The forests must be held as the nat
ural mountain reservoirs for farmers
yet to come and take the lands.
Sheep constitute one of the most
profitable farm assistants. They be-
long to the grass farms and dairy
fields. They go with diversified and
general agriculture. Every farmer
should have a band of sheep to Craze
upon his own pastures, within his
own fields and under his own per-
sonal supervision. His flocks should
become a part of his annual source
of income If not, then there is
something wrong with farming.
There is big demand for wool and
mutton and the markets are increas-
ing every year With the settling
of the country the range area must
grow less and the possibilities of the
farming sections become greater.
The irrigated districts produce
wonderful crops of clOvers, timothy
and alfalfa. The fields may be pas
tured to certain extent before and
after hay harvest. The system of
rotation in pastures may be practiced
with success Kittitas county is one
of the favored spots where sheep
farming can be made one of the best
money producers. 1t has the soil
and water for producing big grass
and grain crops. 1t has the markets
for mutton and wool, the natural
products of the farm flocks. Why
not make sheep one of the legitimate
revenue makers of every farm? Here
is another of the many opportunities
that the changing conditions of the
range industry are bringing to the
notice of energetic men of today

SHOULD A WOMAN BE HANGED?

Missouri has been saved from the
disgrace" of hanging q woman. just
why it should be considered a dis
grace to place a woman who has
been guilty OF amostbrutalandcold-
been guilty of most brutal and cold
blooded murder on the same plane
with a man convicted of similar
crime is not clear to some people,
and yet there is no doubt that public
sentiment is largely arrayed against
the execution of women.
The crime for which Mrs. Myers
and her paramount. Frank Hoffman,
were convicted was deliberately
planned and was carried out In
fiendish manner. Every sentiment of
human nature must revolt on read
ing of the midnight attack on the
woman's husband, the desperate
struggle and the repeated slashing of
the mans throat and face by his
wife. By her deed on that fateful
night she forfeited all right to any
measure of the respect or considera-
ton ordinarily shown to women. By
her callousness afterward she still
further demonstrated that she had
not the heart of woman. Her crime
has been universally eXecrated. Yet
there is an indeflnable something
that protests against applying the
full penalty of the law to the Grim
inal since she is a woman.
Opinion is not unanimous, how
ever, on this point. Many believe
that sex should not permit a murder
er to escape the legal punishment be-
fitting the crime. They say that by
her own act the woman unsexeS her.
self and that justice should be I'M
Influenced by sentimental considera-
tions. They would give to the wo-
man accused of murder every advan-
tage of extenuating circumstances,
but when these do not exist they
contend chat the law should be i'm
partial.
In remitting the death penalty adj
judged against Mrs. Myers her &C
complete also escapes with life i'm
prisonment. The final outcome of
the case is not altogether the resui.
of sentiment, but is in some measure
compromise to avoid further pro-
ceedings under an appeal taken to
the supreme court. Yet whatever
might have been the result of that
appeal no doubt exists as to the guilt
of both the defendants.
Those who advocate strict en-
forcement of the law, whether the
offender be man or woman, antlci-
pate that clemency' accorded to a
woman who is a murderer will have
a bad effect upon other women who
are of evil disposition and who may
not hesitate at the foulest crime if
they think they are safe from hang
ing. Statistics of the United States
for 1890 show that of 1851 prisoners

charged with murder 6958 were men
and 3s3 were women. There is prob
ably no material change in the pro-
portion of men and women accused
of murder at the present time. One
may speculate from these figures as
to how great cause of alarm there
is in the freeing of convicted wo-
man from the death penalty.-St
Paul Dispatch.

Southern Man for President.

There is renewed talk of a
Southern man for the Democratic
presidential nomination, and Sen.
ator Daniel, of Virginia, is now
under discussion. The present
prospect Is that MI. Bryan will
be the nominee and we confess
that we have no hope of the sue
cess of the Southern man idea, as
much as we desire it. We believe
it would be better IN the end, GER
fairly for the South, which is
now about all of the National
Democratic party, and that the
party would have a better chance
of success ultimately, if South
ern man was nominated. But
the leaders of the party are in
the main welded to Mr.. Bryan
and those who oppose him will
not try to overcome the sentiment
in his favor. His friends argue
that he can get more voJesathan a
Southern Democrat. Maybe SO,
but he has never been able to get
enough to get elected and at the
present time we can see no posi-
BILE hope Of his success. The
country seems to be afraid to
trust Mr.. Bryan. It. is useless of
course to nominate a man of tie
type of Judge Parker. That ex-
pertinent in 1904 showed that the
extreme Bryan following will not
support him, just as the extrem-
lists on the other side will not
support Mr.. Bryan. If the ma
tional Democratic party is aver to
succeed it would seem that it is
time for it to get away from these
two extremes. But, as said at
the outset, we have no hope of
seeing the programme changed
next year. We simply mention
these things as of passing inter-
