1t is a well known fact, and one
as old as the government itself, that
while men in Office may die, yet they
never resign. Collector Glasscock's

Alleging that the Huntington Adver.
tier had libelled him by calling him
a beggar and declaring that he did not
support his wife and child, one Charles
Apple has brought suit for $4,000.
Considering that the Parkersburg
State Journal and the Fairmont West
virginian have been dignifed with
quits for $4,000 each. the Advertiser
Is left in a class all by itself.-Hunt.
ington Herald
It is true that suit for $4,000 is
not very Understanding, but the Ad.
vertiser need not be discouraged, as
the West yirginian had the same ex.
perIence at the outset. Dabney K.
Ford sued it for $4,000 some years
ago. and his figures were of course
somewhat humiliating, as we felt that
the inference would be that he had
sued for all the paper was worth.
Now that $4,000 suits are coming our
way It gives the West virginian a a.
nancial standing that is envied by
many Of the metropolitan journals.
