KeIIhOuSe Orchard De-
StrOYed.

After waiting 20 years to see
whether or not 1t was paying
proposition, the big Wellhouse apple
orchard In Usage county, near
Wakarusa, has been destroyed. The
orchard was the second largest in the
state. 1t covered 800 acres and con-
tanned 65 900 trees. 1t was set out 20
years ago by Fred Wellhouse, the
Kansas apple king. Occasionally, It
would yield a fair crop ana one year
$1,000 worth Of apples were picked
from it, but the soil proved to be not
adapted to apple growing.
Last year Mr.. Wellhouse sold the
orchard and the new owners recently
destroyed it by setting fire to 10 on a
windy day. There was COED deal OF
dry vegetation In the orchard and
this helped the flmes to do their
work we'll. About $4,000 live apple
trees were burned, thousands Of them
being burned Of even with the
ground. The ground is now being
cleared up and will be put into CORD,
grass and other crops.

Innocent Men in Prison.

Here is q most Astounding state
ment from a former judge of the
.unreme court Of Kansas; "The
Kansas penitentiary contains several
Innocent men, but they must stay
there unless pardoned. There is
no other lawful way to secure their
release" This ex-judgs further
saws that where the supreme court
r.verses a criminal case two or three
times, it ls pretty sure sign that the
defendant is innocent. But If at
last the court is unable to ind some
technical error in the record, by
going over it 'wlth fine tooth
comb" then the defendant must go
to prison, even if every member OF
the supreme bench Is confident that
he is innocent.
Every now and then some such
testimony comes from authoritative
sources, adding force to the
popular demand for reforming the
criminal code. The best lawyers of
the country, headed by the presi-
dent himself, are on record against
continuing the present Pondsrous
and uncertain system of trying men
accused Of fslOnies. If it is true
that there are innocent men serving
sentences in the Kansas penitsRtiary,
it must be equally true that the
same conditions exist in other states.
And if the judges Of the state
supreme court are confident that
certain cenvicts are gulltlsss OF the
crimes for which they are imprison-
I'D. there should be some legal way
ether than through the executive
pardon of redrsssing the awful
wreng that is being committed in
the name of justice. Here we en-
counter again the thing called
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1910-05-27

ethics. Probably If these judges
would speak out frankly and say
what they think, the governor would
exercise his pardoning power and
set he innocent men free. Why
should judges of the Kansas supreme
court who believe that innocent
men are imprisoned not speak out
as becomes any citizen who would
sac right triumph?
AS a rule, our state executives ex
ercise the pardening power with
discrimination and caution. 1t is
! to their credit that they do not
throw open the gates of penlten
tiaries to all who pray for release,
fer it is hard thing to deny mercy
and clemency-espeeially in cases
where the pleas are made by aged
fathers and mothers in behalf OF
wayward sons. 1t is hard to resist
the cries of agony that come from
breaking hearts. But what about
cases where uninterested and un-
prejudiced members of the state
judiciary, WHO have carefully can
vassed the evidence, believe certain
prisoners are innocent? Surely the
opinions of such men are entitled
to the gravest consideration. II
the prisoners thus regarded are
poor and friendless, the fact only
adds to the obligation of society
that they be given chance for
liberty. Will not the former judge
of the Kansas supreme court, in the
interests of mercy and justice, tell
the names of the innocent men now
serving terms in the Kansas

down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by proper treatment of the kid
neys. Swamp-ROot corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often through
the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle and book that tells all
about it, both sent free by mail. Address,
