Always a Good Rule.

Morgantown is the home Of local
Building Associations. One Of those
managed by home men, is just now
closing out series Of stock and has
opened it's books for new series says
the Fairmont Index. Local Associa-
tons have held the field in Morgan
town for number of years and we
have never heard word of complaint.
In this important matter Fairmont
might profit by learning this secret
from our down the river neighbor.

Trusts.

The antitrust convention is to
open February II at Chicago. Per-
haps the most notable event in the
conflict between the people and the
trusts since the last Chicago con
ference was the decision of the I'm
tied States Supreme Court in the
Addyston case. The Addyston pipe
combine was a group of manufac.
turers of pipe in the south who
worked together to keep up prices
by pretending to compete with one
another, thus forcing up rates and
dividing the profits. The Supreme
Court decided that the combine had
violated the Sherman antitrust law
by restraining business between the
states. Although the combine diff
fered very much in its structure and
methods from the other great mon
opolies, the decision had its effect In
Wall street, where the securities of
the latter concerns weakened very
much. 1t is evidently the opinion
Of shrewd lawyers that many OF
these big corporations are violating
the law, and they are advising bank
ers and investors against their Sc
curities. This is the first case In
which the Supreme Court has APP
piled the Sherman law to an indus.
trial com bination.

MALICIOUS AND MISLEADING
Alleged Statement by J. L.
Moore is Glaringly False.
Statements That This Paper Did Not
Make are Deuied-Story About His
Daughters Death is Threshed Over
Circumstances as at First Related are
Confirmed OH Investigation.

In recent communication To the
Morgantown Post J. l.. Moore Of Rohr
takes this paper TO task about case
reported to Us from Kingwood concern
ing the death of his daughter An
investigation was at once made by
this paper as To whether or not the In.
formation we had received in the first
place was correct or not.
We find by inquiry at kingwood
that no one over there believes that
J. L. Moore could have written the
statement that il attributed to him.
It was probably written BY some one
else and receivedhis approval.
The article in this paper was not
written in this office. IL was sent out
from Kingwood and the statement
was made IN it that the parents were
away from home. The telegram orig
inally appeared in the Pittsburg Lea
der with sensational headings.
The operator at Rohr was called up
by this paper. He did state that the
death had caused talk Of crookedness
but that he did not want to talk. He
talked OF in the neighborhood but he
did not want to give us information.
He did say that he would give us some
thing later if there was any investiga-
tion Of the matter.
Moore's article denies these facts.
The assertion was made that King
wood repeatef the story. This was a
fact. A responsible newspaper man
Of that place was read the special that
we had received He stated that 1t
was correct. The talk was general
over Kingwood and about the neigh
borhood in which the girl lived He
had just been told of the case by one
of the most responsible men in the
county who had just come fro M the
scene of the death.
The statement about the parents
being away has no bearing on the case
but it was not made by this paper but
by the reporter who sent cut the story
from Kingwood on which this paper
based its article
We have never been able to find out
who the physician was. The state
menu concerning MS connection With
the case was sent out from Kingwood
and was not started by us.
The whole article is an attempt to
misrepresent this paper when it has
done nothing but given the news that
is still claimed to be correct by the
people Of Kingwood. 1t is asserted
in Kingwood that the talk il still GO
ing on in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the dead girls home.
Be all these facts as they may, we
have no desire to drag her name into
still futher prominence and had her
father not made the malicious and
misleading attack on us we would
never have published any more con-
corning the case. However we repeat
that we have the best reason in the
world for believing that the story as
we first published it was correct.
We received it from trustworthy
sources and had no reason to doubt
it then. Further investigation
strengthens US in the belief that it
was correct and we have no apologies
to offer for its publication.

GENIAL Ben G. Williams OF the
Tavern at Fairmont has been i'll for
several days but Is able to be out
again much to the relief Of his host of
friends.
EVERY one should vote for some
one to I'LL the various town offices.
In multitude Of counsellors there Is
wisdom and this has been kept Iii
sight by those who have named the
tickets.
ONE OF the candidates stated this
morning that there were tickets
enough at the voting place to elect
the mayor OF city like New York.
There are eight tickets in the deld
and each OF them has been printed In
large numbers for distribution.
THE polls will close at 4:47 this
evening unless the school commits
sioners choose to extend the time az
ter shutdown They will probably
stop it then. The interest Is not
very intense In the matter and the
number OF votes cast will be not over
half Of those in town.
IHE fact that there was nothing
printed on the ballots used in the
school election about the levy for
next year prevented many people
from voting on that question. Not
a great many people voted at all ia
this election and still fewer on the
levy. This is matter that. should
be very carefully looked after. To
allow the levy to fail for want Of
proper care would be very grave
matter
THE thermometer has shown the
first signs OF d resolve to live better
life than it has for the past ten days
and is already rising The highest

tonight and Friday. We may get q
real old fashioned snow storm on the
heels OF the warmer days. This is in

expected to come Friday.

for school commissioner. DIR. Jas. p.
Fitch refused to accept reelection
and Mr. Brown was named to al the

that should be very carefully looked
after so that good men are always
kept on the school board.
This board is the most important

placed on it. MIR. Brown will make d
very acceptable substitution for Dr.

NEW YORK. Fsb 1.-THE world
tomorrow viii publish a summary ol
long statement made BY President
Mckinley to Henry Loomls Nelson. a.
TO the American policy toward the
newly acquired Islands. The article Il
vouched for an an authoritative inter.
probation Of the Presidents views. Ac.
| cording to Mr.. Nelson, III Is Mfr. Me-
Klniey's belief. and II will be his pur-
pose TO carry the belief into operation,
that the Constitution does not apply
to any OF our new islands: that those
people are not 1T for self-government
beyond that proposed for Hawaii. that
our new possessions must not be per-
mitted to injure any OF our projected
interests and that free trade with Porto
Rlfo Is right because our protected in
terests will not be interfered with
thereby.
THE President believes that Con-
gress has plenary powers over Hawaii.
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
He holds that Congress may pass
one tariff law for Porto Rico, another
for Hawaii. another for the Philippines
and that all may be different from that
OF the United States.
1T does not appear likely to his
mind that any question can ever arise
as to the civil rights OF these places.
Mr.. McKinley's attitude then, to-
ward the natives is benevolent. He
desires to elevate them, to educate
them, and he hopes that in the end
they will become worthy of being in
trusted with local self-government. He
does not think any of these worthy
now, except the few in Hawaii upon
whom 1t is intended to bestow the suf-
frage-a few more than possessed the
suffrage under the Dole government
Mr.. Mckinley holds that the Con-
stitution only applies to territory
when 1t is set up by treaty or by
legislation. Upon this point there are
authorities in his favor, but he goes
beyond the authorities and holds that
Congress Is not bound by the limita-
tons of the Constitution when 1t en-
tiers upon the task of legislating, |. e.,
1t may refuse to the natives and to the
American citizens who may go to our
colonies the right of trial by jury, the
right of free speech, the right to bear
arms, the right of peaceable assem-
blage and petition, freedom from I'M
warrantable arrest, freedom from
search-all those rights which the Con-
stitution guards jealously.
But the main purpose of the Presi-
dent is to deal with the Islands as mar
kets for American products and as the
subjects of commercial exploitation
generally.
"The President is thorough believ-
err in the moral and intellectual value
of commerce and he proceeds on the
theory that when a nation is doing
we'll as buyer and seller 1t is pre-
sumptively we'll governed and its peo-
pie are morally sound.
'He looks forward to benefiting the
natives by expanding the blessings of
Protestant Christianity and civiliza-
ton by means of commerce"

that General Cronje Is surrounded, as
large German buying occurred on the
