NO Let UP ON SUCCESSFUL DIS,

Word comes from Washington that
early in the New Year Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte. under direction OF
President Roosevelt, will file a suit
for the dissolution of the combina-
ton existing between the Union Pa
cifc Railroad and the Southern Pa
cific Railroad, of which combination E.
n. Hartman is the organizer The
investigation Of conditions by the In
terstate Commerce Commission is said
10 have disclosed the most "indefenss'
ble financiering" on the part OF Mr..
Hartman, who by manipulation OF
stocks has secured control OF sur
ficient number of railroads and steam
shin lines that he could proceed
from New York to Asia and return to
Chicago without using any other rail-
road or steamship line than those he
himself controlled" In the case OF the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific 1t

1t Is lust such forms of successful

tration has been fighting and which
the money powers have been trying to
stop by the shout of panic. But the
announcement that Mr.. 9onaparte
will proceed against these Hartman
roads as Mr.. Knox did against the
Northern Securities combination
shows that the administration is in
earnest In its determination to pun,
ish yiolators of the law whether in
high or low station. Any other meth

for state socialism before another de

THROWS w The SPONGE.

1t is practically common knowledge
about Fairmont that the West Vir-
ginian has been up against pretty
stiff proposition in the matter OF gain
ing the ascendency in the Fairmont
field. 1t has had an uphill struggle
against odds not at all times encour-
aging. 1t has passed through the pc
riod in which its competitor sought to
ignore it: it has been in the position
that it was a subject of ridicule. 1t
then had competitor that spared no
expense while 1t was forced to econ
omize. The managing editor of its
rival was "spender" and was proud
Of it. He kept a strong force OF local
reporters. had the full Associated
Press service and boosted that Fair
mont was the only town in the United
States of its size which had news
paper which carried the full, Associat-
ed Press reports, which was another
way of saying that most towns of this
size had newspaper managers with
better-judgment. But these days
are past now and we have a new or
der OF things. Our neighbor has let
its high class reporters go; it has cut
out the Associated Press: 1t has re.
duced the size of It's paper: 1t has lost
much OF it's outside circulation; it
has lost its hold on the Fairmont adj
yertisers. In short, its blur couldn't
last any longer as the following wall
from this mornings issue indicates:

West Virginian to take things as it

He gave the new project unstinte1 praise. He stated hat he was glad to do this from a know ledge that there were many disposed to be critical over every new enterprise and he felt, as a shelter man of long experience, that he could understand proposition of this kind, when presented, and judge largely of its practicability.
 He felt that it would be of untold benefit to this section, and that the matter of ore supply only was at stake, and in this latter respect that there could rot be any serious pause.-Search- light Bulletin.
