The papers all around are taking
occasion to say that the banks Of
their localities are safe and sound.
that none OF them will be affected by
the furry in New York. That Is very
good, but people don't have to be told
that about banks in West Virginia.
Our State has record to be proud Of
along that line. We have fewer bank
failures than almost any State in the
Union. It will take more than Wall

DEMANDS BOOKS
Publishers Press.

Publishers Press.
Washington, June 29.-The demand
of Judge Lands, of Chicago, that he be
given access to the books of the
Standard Oil Company before impos-
ing fine in the rebate cases, may
mean something more than appears
on the face of the request. 1t is hint
ed here that he is after bigger game
than money, though he can impose
fines amounting to s29,000,0O0.
The Department of Justice says that
1T knows nothing more of Judge Lam
dis intentions than that he appears
anxious to work no injustice against
the corporation. There is belief
here, however, that if Judge Landis
succeeds in getting possession of the
Standards books he may disclose as
founding conditions.
