Washington, Feb 1.-The Omnibus
G aims bill, in which 2C6 Maryland
and Virginia claimants are directly
interested, TO say nothing of q much
larger number of heirs, was reopened
for action to day by the House Com
m ttee on Claims where the measure
had been sidetracked.
At today's session all the items IN
tie bill except the French spoilation
claims, aggregating $842.688 in value
were acted upon favorably.
In this bill there are many churches
throughout the Valley of Virginia
which are greatly interested. In some
instances the Federal troops occupied
the churches and damaged them, while
10 others they we're burned. The bill
carries sums TO reimburse these insi-
buttons for damage done during the
Civil War, either during occupancy,
or IS the result Of being destroyed.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 10. 1911.
GOOD ROADS.

We must have good roads.
Why should farmers use four
horses to haul one-half as much
as they could hau. on good roads
with two horses? The day is
fast approaching when. farmers
will enjoy many of the pleasures
that heretofore have been confin-
ed to people that live in the
cities.
The day is not distant when
the average farmer will own and
use an automobile. After a days
work on the farm, he will be able
to do his marketing, after supper,
at towns 10 or 20 miles distant
and return, with no horse to UNI
hitch and feed, before bedtime.
His produce which is now mark
eted by being hauled over rough
roads in small quantities, will be
placed on a large truck and in a
very short time transported to
the best market within thirty or
forty miles.
To do this, however, he must
have good roads. Other coun-
ties not so wealthy as Shenan-
doah are building good roads.
Shenandoah can do the same
thing. We have been trudgine
along in old ruts, working hard
and have not taken time to think
how we can have good roads. Let
us think about it. Don't think
too long, but as soon as we as
certain how it can be done, let
us act, and Shenandoah rich in
historical events will become re-
nowned tor the prosperity and
enjoyment of its citizens.

self Reliance.

The spirit of self help Is the root Of
AL genuine growth in the individual,
and, exhibited in the lives of many, it
constitutes the true source of national
vigur and strength. Help from with
out Is often enfeebling in its effects,
but help from within Invariably invig-
crates. Whatever is done for men or
classes to a certain extent takes away
the stimulus and necessity Of doing for
themselves, .aHd where men are sub
jected to overguidance and overgovern-
ment the Inevitable tendency is to rem
der them comparatively helpless- Sam

THE CORN CROPS.

A number af counties of Virginia,
whose land does not compare with
that of the Shenandoah Valley are
raising much larger corn crops than
the Shenandoah Valley. They have
shown that Virginia land will pro-
duce over one hundred bushels to the
acre, if properly prepared and Guilt
waited. In order to accomplish this
r suit, it is necessary to destroy the
old prejudice against book farming
and mix Or aims with our fertilizers.
We certainly should give greater at
tention to the improved methods of
farming, or we will be outdone by the
owners of what vas once considered
the poorest land of Virginia.
The agricultural department OF the
State is now rendering great assls.
lance to the farmers and those who
have availed themselves of this
source of information are now reap
ing handsome rewards.

Protecting Vice.

The fatal shooting Of the man Postler IN
San Francisco the other day, by a gambler who
borrowed the revolver for the deed from po-
liceman standing near, was one of those Incl
dents that inevitably follow the endeavor Of the
police in our larger cities to compromise with
vice and evade the strict enforcement of the
law
Sooner or later there ensues a crime like this
which inflames public sentiment and results in
an oyerhauling of the police force A wave of
civic virtue sweeps over the city, public meet
ings are held, score or so Of patrolmen are
discharged from the service, and then every
thing assumes a normal state once more.
This San Francisco case, however, seems to
be something out Of the ordinary. It appears
that the mother and young son Of the murdered
man had petitioned the police department to
prevent the husband and father from gambling
in the club, so called, where he was later to
lose his life. But no attention was paid to their
plea, and this tragedy is the consequence.
Under these circumstances the police Of San
Francisco are as much accessory to the crime
as is their fellow officer who loaned his revolver
For the commission Of the deed The criminal
law should be amended, therefore, so as to fix
this responsibility just where it belongs. Try
the officers who turned deaf ear to the wom-
ans plant on the charge Of manslaughter and
convict them, and we viii have less of this cold
indifference to the call de humanity Or the obi
cations Of duty.
No measure Of punishment that may be adj
