For once the West virginian agrees
with the Parkersburg Dispatch when
it says:
What the newspaper interests of
this State need is an organization
for the accomplishment of matters
directly connected with the business.
For example, the newspapers are not
as fairly treated by the laws Of the
State government as they are in other
States. Therefore, there should, be
legislation looking after those inter.
ests. A thorough-going, active, persis.
tent community of interests, formed
strictly for business reasons, could
accomplish everything that is needed
in a few years. The social feature OF
these meetings are all right in their

legged that II was his property; he
