SHOULD UNDERSTAND The
KENT BILL BEFORE
RECOMMENDING
SNOWFLAKE HERALD:

LII your ISSUE Ol MdICIl Il, lC1-
erence>is made to the Kent bill
for the leasing and fencing of
the public domain.
There is no doubt that leasing
and fencing is the only solution
OF the grazing problem, but it is
a question of magnitude and of
great Importance. especially to
Arizona, whose area is mostly
grazing, that such a bill should
be carefully drawn.
1t has not been our privilege to
see a copy of the Kent bill. but
we are informed that it is very
much the same as the Severe
bill with the exception that it
provides that homesteaders shall
be allowed pasture adjoining
their homesteads.
The question arises, How
much? It is not probable that
the large stock associations hav-
ing been working so hard and
spending their money for the
last fifteen years for the sake of
a ten year lease. let alCne doing
it for the sake of the settler or
even the small stockman. This
we may depend upon, for all that
some large associations claim
that majority of their mem
bers own less than one hundred
head of cattle each. That may
be true; some one must be the
cats paw.
And we may also rest assured
that what the settler or small
COW man gets, will be what he
gets right on the start. If he
gets enough then to subsist upon
alright, if not he can give way
to his formidable brother and
quit.
Again in our opinion the gov
ernment should furnish wire for
fence.
1st. Because it puts small men
at disadvantage for the lessee
to fence since it would cost the
man leasing one mile square, ten
times as much per acre as it
would the man fencing ten miles
square. And as it usually takes
about all that most people have
to pull through the first years of
homesteading, many might not
have money to fence pasture,
and still the use of the range ab-
solutely necessary for them to
make a living.
End. If the government al
lows large sheep and cattle own
ers to lease large tracts of the
public domain for period of ten
years, and put their own fence
around them, and one hundred
dollars worth of Improvements
around some of the choice forties,
we might about as we'll give it to
them. For the cry will go up of
how much they have invested,
and the state will be obliged to
extend lease for another ten
years, and so on. The chance to
make improvements to establish
claim is what the big stockmen
want, and they are going to hold
what they get.
Take for example, when the
government has tried to regulate
grazing on the forest reserves.
Many large owners owned very
little or no Improvements on
those lands, and all the rights
they had was the fact they had
been using the range, and still
we find them after fifteen years
in which to cut down their herds
with practically as many as ever,
while the poor homesteader
thinks himself lucky to get on
with ten head and the protective
limit for the small owner is nine
ty head. What would it be if

The Eastern Convocation of the Epis-
copal Diocese OF West Virginia began its
sessions in Trinity Church, Shepherds

service was read by Rev. q. A. Gibbons,
of Romney, and the sermon was preached
by Rev. r. Z. L. Strider, OF Keyser, dean
of the convention. Rev. Mr.. Strider's
sermon was a beautiful and impressive
one, delivered with an earnestnesS and
eloquence that held the closest attention
OF the congregation. This gifted young
minister is son of Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac
H. Strider, of this county, and his friends
here who heard the splendid sermon OF
Tuesday night felt much pride that he is
making such noble use OF his talents.
Wednesday the beloved secretary OF the
convocation, Mr.. Gibbons, preached the
morning sermon, which was OF the high
est excellence, and the holy communion
was administered by Bishop Gravatt.
The afternoon was given over to reports
and other business, and last night there
was missionary service. The convo-
cation will close this Thursday night.

More Good Road.

The new turnpike between Antietam
Station and Shepherdstown has been
practically completed, and thus the only
bad piece OF road between Baltimore and
Staunton on the National Highway has
been eliminated. The road was cou-
structed at a cost of about 5000, it is
said, for the two miles that were macad-
amized. Ii is an excellent piece OF road
at present, but some criticism has been
made that it has not had sufficient stone
put upon if 10 last well-that the bottom
course is not heavy enough to make a
permanent bed. The top dressing is
finely crushed stone that has been well
rolled. The improvement is a very
marked one, and travellers who have
dragged through the mud and jolted over
the bumpers under former conditions
appreciate it. The road is owned by the
Sharpsburg and Boonsboro Turnpike
Company, which has had toll-gate
placed on the new section at point near
Crows railroad crossing. The rates for
toll are five cents each way for horse
vehicle or one-seat automobile ard ten
cents for a two-horse vehicle or two
seated automobile. Luther Drenner is
the collector, and is now at his post.

For Rural School Day.

Governor Hatfield has issued procla-
nation designating Friday, October I'D,
as Rural School Day, and recommends
that every country school in the State
hold appropriate exercises looking to the
Improvement OF school conditions. The
State Department OF Free Schools is very
heartily in favor OF the idea, and has is
sued literature giving suggestions as to
the proper observance OF The day. These
suggestions include literary programme
to be carried out by the pupils; united
effort to clean up and beautify the school
grounds; basket dinner for all; take
up the question of good roads; discuss
the civic center movement; consider
matters OF general community interest.
We think that Rural School Day can be
made very helpful aud beneficial oc-
casion, and we urge all the teachers OF
the county to give the matter proper con-
Sideration.

No Mercy For BootleggerS.

Judge Dayton, OF the United States
Court, is doing his share TO break up IL
legal selling of liquor in West Virginia.
AT the term of his court in Clarksburg last
week he had before him Celie Curry and
+. c. Ellerman, of this county, and Fred
Brooks, John Shepherd ard Frank Will
hanson, OF Morgan county, all OF whom
were convicted of Bookkeeping. Judge
Dayton imposed upon each OF them a
fine of $500 and sentence of from three
to tive months in Jail, thus making the
penalty three times greater than 1t has
been heretofore. The Judge made il
plain that bootleggers may expect little
mercy from him. The colored man from
Berryvile who was arrested at the Nor
CAMS Grove fair for selling liquor illegally
was tried at Clarksburg and found moi
guilty. The two witnessed against him,
John Jackson and John Stevenson, OF
Shepherdstown, tailed TO appear, and
Judge Dayton issued a warrant for their
arrest for contempt of court. Deputy
Marshal Athey was instructed to hale
them before the Judge to answer tor Their
deTeliCtion.

To Improve Our School System.

Mr.. F. p. Marsh, secretary OF tile State
Board OF Regents, was in Shepherdstown
last week comforting with the authorities
of Shepherd College and members OF the
board OF education in this district in re-
gard to closer working affiliations be-
tween the college and our graded school.
1t is proposed TO have the State provide
a iirst-claSs man TO exercise supervision
over the public schools and work in har-
mony with the board OF education, and
that students OF the normal school have
the privilege Of teaching in the public
schools under critic and the regular
teachers. All the details have not yet
been worked ont, but as we understand
the plans, we regard them as mutually
beneficial, with decided advantage TO the
graded school and the other SchOOlSof the
district. We learn that Prof. Laldley,
OF the Board OF Regents, will be here in a
few days with definite proposition, and
we hope that il will be such as can be
agreed TO by Our board OF education.
Such an opportunity TO adopt advanced
methods in our school work should moi
be lost

An east wind that set in Tuesday
brought showers of rain later in the night
that kept up all day yesterday and gave
the ground a good soaking. The rain
was just the thing for the wheat that had
been planted the previous week or two,
and is also OF great benefit TO the fall pas
lures. The orchard men were not so
glad to see it, however, as il stopped the
picking and packing OF apples. The rain
was hard on the Hagerstown fair, as il
reduced the attendance TO very meagre
figures. Few tickets were sold for the
trains, and the travel by automobiles and
| other vehicles was very light. The fair
this year is said TO be bigger and better
than ever before, and the managers were
greatly disappointed at having rainy
weather for one of the big days.

serious consideration. The promoters
OF this meeting. and those who are
fayorably inclined TO the application
OF the main features OF this act 10

relevance. that II It was now in opera
ton In this state there would have
been no necessity for the meeting
last Sunday OF wOrkingmen. which
passed resolutions criticizing the nc
tons OF Federal Judge and asking
investigations into his official con-
duct
This seems 10 be true on scanning
the provisions OF the Canadian act
which seeks, first OF all. to keep IN
dustrial disputes out OF the courts and
enecting a settlement OF amicabIe ma.
ture between the contesting parties
themselves. II is suggestive that the

enough to include all other enter.

OF the public.
Mr.. King in recent article states
that success which has attended this
legislation and its general acceptance
Is not so much matter of wonder
when one considers a few fundament.
al truths upon which IL is based and
which It helps to exempllfy.
One Is that in the carrying out of

truth is that in evoking confidence,
