close of 1911 marks the most pros
porous year In the history of VIM
chester and Frederick county.
The fruit growers of Frederick

keting Of the largest apple crop ever
grown In Frederick county, and 1t Is
estimated that two hundred and fifty
thousand - barrels OF apples were
grown In Frederick county this year,
and this means an income OF not less
than 100000.
Frederick county is entitled to the
title of the banner apple county
of tho State OF Virginia, If not OF
the entire East. Frederick county
has been producing for the past sew
eral years ne-fourth of the entire
apple crop If the State OF Virginia.
This In spite of the fact that the
government census Of 1900 gave
Frederick county only one hundred
and ninety-twoq thousand trees. with
over eight million trees In the en-
tire State.
The amount of production per tree
in Frederick county as compared
with other counties of the State is
so Infinitely larger that 1t Is evident
section are more favorable to fruit
growing than any other part of the
State and also that the apple grow
ers employ more scientific and in
telligent methods of management.
Since 1900 "a larger number of adj
ditioual trees have been planted In
Frederick county and which are not
now bearing and In years to come
Frederick county will probably pro-
duce more apples than all of the rest
of the State of Virginia combined.
In Winchester a snumber of miles
of concrete pavements have been
fatd. additional sewers Installed. new
water mains. additional electric
lights. cleaner streets, better cross
iHgs and a score of other improve
ments made.
For the merchants this has been
al most successful year. Tho stores
have been greatly improved, en-
Iarged and made more attractive.
The AntiLatane Tuberculosis
League have been doing a great deal
of work among the poorer classes
and this work has been productive of
much good.

nlngton. IL believe the commits
sion to be honest and earn sta and
its members competent. But
the com mission represents the
voice OF the state legislature; and
the state legislature represents
the will of the people, and the
will OF the people as expressed ia
Wisconsin is what the people
want done because professional
politicians have sown the seed of
dlscontent throughout the state
for their own selfish ends, and
have preached discomfort to the
people. The politicians ha We
created a state of public mind
that moves the legislature, and
when we are ordered arbitrarily
to make changes that cost us
many thousands of dollars with
out a thought, apparently, on the
part of those who give the order,
OF where the money is coming
from, it goes right back to the
politicians.
"lou cannot burn a candle at
both ends and have it last long.
You cannot keep piling a load up
on a horse indefinitely. You can
not continuously add burden
after burden upon the railroads
and at the same time keep alive
a sentiment which prevents any
rate advance that would give op-
portunity to earn the money to
build the stations and add the
appliances and make the changes
that the com mission demands,
and keep the railroads in condl-
ton where they can make any
profit. Ifyou make tine railroads

out of them you are laying up

PLEADS RAIL WAYS CAUSE
Zone of the greatest problems
before this country today is
transportation said Mr.. Pen
nington. The more we grow
the more We will need transpor-
tation, and there must be money
to build railroads aud the only
way to get it is to get it from
those who will invest it. Does
the attitude of Wisconsin toward
corporations and especially
toward the railroads attract
capital? Does it make a state
prosperous? Wisconsin is stag.

than neighbor ing states in places,
not growing at all in other places
and losing populiou at in some

Is Wisconsin Prosperous?

W. have heard so much about
the reforms that have been made
in Wisconsin that 1t has been
pretty generally believed that
something extraordinary has
been accomplished in that state
and that it would probably be a
pretty good thing for other states
to follow the example of Wiscon-
sin. However, if the president
of the 500 railroad, Edmund Pen
nington, is authority, then
the state instead of being bene-
fitted by the drastic legislation
enacted under the LaFollette
regime has been retarded in it's
growth and seriously checked in
its Development. A request
had been made to the 500 comp
any by the village of Theresa to
build a short branch to the town.
In answer to the request Mr..
Pennington said:
"We will not build a branch to
Theresa We will not build line
anywhere in Wisconsin. We will
not build any railroad in that
state now, or at any future time
so far as we can now forsee. We
will continue to operate and try
to conserve our property in Wis
consin into which in the recent
past we have put between S., 0O0,-
900 and Sc, 900, 900 for improve
ments. But weare through with
Wisconsin so for as voluntarily
investing any money in new lines
in that state is concerned.
1.-THE people of Wisconsin do
not yet know it themselves, but
the state is going backward and
not forward. They are blind to
what is going on. They will find
out some day when some govern
ment figures or other matter that
is reflective of what is now going
on comes along. The statei is not
only failing to keep up with the
progress Of other states, west
and south and east of it, but in
many parts is actually falling
behind in population and per
capita wealth. It is not an inyit-
ing field for railroad investment.
The railroads are harassed more
in Wisconsin than IN any other
state that We operate in. 1t is
due to a state of public mind, and
has been brought about by politi-
Cal agitators. Some day the re-
suits will show in figures of
economic changes of the state
during the existence Of this pub
lie state of mind, and the results
will not be favorable.
