Cave Discovered Near Boonsboro.

Some excitement has been caused at
Boonsboro the past week by the dis
covery Of a cave OF considerable proper
tons on the farm Of Edward Hutzell,
about a half mile from town, near the
Keedysville road. Workmen have been
quarrying rock on the place for some
weeks, getting out material for the
construction of the new State road.
Last Saturday blast made an un-
usually deep depression in the ground.
Workmen Investigated and said they
believed there is big hollow under
here" Work then ceased, and one
courageous laborer entered about Is
feet, and came back with the report
that he looked down into a room
Of approximately so feet in height"
Sunday an investigation started in
earnest, many young men from Boons-
boro going to the scene. John Wheel
er, Harry Herr and others, armed with
flashlights and candles, entered the
cave and climbed down into the first
subterranean apartment. To reach the
room il is necessary TO find ones way
tortuously through a 25-foot passage
way, and TO prevent the possibility Of
getting lost, the explorers placed ball
Of cord outside and carried the end
WIFI tllSHl- IuCy CllIHDCQ uOWn INTO
the first cavern. and discovered gil
gantic stalacttes and stalagmites
emerging from the roof and floor of the
cave. They investigated further, 60
ing from the first cave into another
through a small passage way, the sec
ond being much larger than the first.
until they had explored three of the
compartments Of the caverns. They
peered through an opening into the
fourth, but were unable TO ascertain
whether there was a solid bottom or
not, as water was heard, and the floor
Of this cave was out Of range of their
flashlights, but this was the largest
OF any OF the rooms explored
According to the men investigating.
it is believed that the caves keep get
ting larger, and that there is a vast
chain of subterranean apartments run
ming far underground. The stalacttes
have a musical tone when touched,
sounding chimes. The colors of some
Of these freaks are marvellous in
brilliancy, according to explorers.
Many persons later visited the scene
but few would venture an entrance. II
is the intention of workmen to enlarge
the entrance, and carry on fuller and
complete Investigation.

IN speech in San Diego, Cali
fornia, few days ago, Governor Cox
made the statement that a large pro-
portion OF the press OF the country is
unfair and will not print the real news
OF the political campaign. He said
one OF the plans OF the senatorial
oligarchy behind Senator Harding's
candidacy is to control as many news.
papers as possible.
Governor Cox is right. With COM
paratively few exceptions the big
newspapers OF the country are con-
trolled by individuals or financial
syndicates that run them solely for
personal advantage. and hire men to
carry out policies and write editorials
and report news according to instruc-
tons Of the bosses who have selfish
needs to subserve. Most Of the papers
at this time are Of the opinion tina,
Senator Harding's election will be 10
the advantage Of their owners.

II remains for Senator Harding.
the ingenious Republican presidential
Candidate, to bring the most serious of
all accusations against the League of
Nations. He gravely intimates that
1t was responsible for the late
lamented Civil War. At least. he
stated in one OF his front-porch
speeches that the League Of Nations
is full Of known antiquities and that
1t was an ambiguity in our own Con
stnution that led to the Civil War
This is the first that most folks
probably, have heard of an ambiguity
OF SO serious a character in the Con-
s;itution of the United States. Even
so, we doubt if they would want to alb
rogate the Costitution as Senator
