Why We Do Not Burn witches.

D|SLOYALTY WHICH
SHOULD Be REBUKED
Hampshire Review Believes the West
Virginia University Needs
Attention.

The following from the Hampshire
Review is worthy of careful consid-
Grafton:
Dean f.. b. Trotter, w. III. Alder
man and L. s. Coow, all connected
with West Virginia University, and
Professor John 4. Shaw of the West
Liberty Normal school returned last
week from Athens, o., where they
purchased a fruit farm of 35 acres.
There already is a fruit bearing or
chard on the farm. The principal
product is apples. The consideration
was not made public.
A company, composed of the pur-
chasers, will be organized soon. The
farm was purchased with a view of
orchard development and an expert
manager will likely be placed in
charge.-From Morgantown Post
Chronicle,
A reader of the Review sends us
the above clipping and enquiries
whether the gentlemen named are
salaried employees of the state. They
are. In addition to Dean Trotter, the
first-named gentleman, Mr.. Alderman
is the head professor of horticulture
In the West Virginia Agricultural Col
lege and chief horticulturist of the
Experiment Station. Mr.. Cook, as
we understand il, is also a member
OF the College of Agriculture.
OF course, the people of West Vir-
ginia have no right TO dictate where
or how any of its private citizens
shall invest their incomes or in what
line of business they shall engage
There is a question, however, involv-
ed in the above announcement which
the public has a right to discuss.
There are any number of private cit
liens in West Virginia. who. for the
past several years, have expended
much money, a great deal of time and
considerable labor in bringing to the
attention of the people outside of the
state the splendid agricultural and
horticultural opportunities and advan-
tages which the State Of West Vir-
ginia offers, and IL Is, at least, not
very encouraging to these private
citizens to continue in this line OF
worthy endeavor when salaried EN-
ployes of the state. especially of the
State College of Agriculture and the
State Experiment Station, go to an.
other state to engage in a business,
which we believe, and which we have
sought to impress upon the world can
be engaged in as probably and adj
v~antageously in this state as any
where in the country.
We do not say that these gentle
men have no right to go to Ohio, in
vest their money and advertise that
state as possessing greater advan-
tages as a horticultural state thar
our own. but we do say that If that is
their judgment and their position
they should go to Ohio and earn their
salaries and not accept them from
the taxpayers of West Virginia. If
they cannot beloyal to the state
which employs them they ought to
get out. II they have no faith In the
possibilities of West Virginia they
