George w Wickersham is the attor-
ney general in President Taft's cabicet
We often hear the question, who is
Wickersham? Who is this man who is
to prosecute the trusts and smash all
the combinations for the unlawful re-
straint OF trade? He was formerly the
attorney and private counsel of j, PIER
pont Morgan and partner of Harry
Taft, prominent as an operator on
Wall street. In other words he has
been associated with the trust in
terests and is the servant of those in
terests and has made his reputation
and his wealth ~ his association with
the trusts. Does it see m reasonable to
suppose Mr.. Wiekersham will at once
turn against his old friends and asso-
eiates? Does it not seem more reasona-
BILE to suppose that he will use his
hlghposition to better serve his friends2
1t looks as if the aggression of
Roosevelt against the trusts is to be
shelyed and the trusts permitted to
have their own sweet way. 1t is hard
indeed, under such circumstances to
make the people believe thatthe trusts
will be punished under the pres ent adj
ministration and that Taft is not their
servile tool,

An Old Trick.

A. Joffe, merchant in Hancock,
Nd, received letter in the shape of
an appeal to help supposed Russian
baker in a Spanish prison to recover a
fortune of $4,000. 1t is an old trick to
try to swindle the receiver of the letter
out of a small amount of cash. The
trick was played with all its frill and
many plausible statements on our
old friend, Squire Geyer, in the town
of Hedgesville but the old gentlemen
were too sharp to be caught in any
such trap.

We have heard several faint echoes dur
ing the past week of the pipe dream OF
one Charles Brooks Smith, of Park
ersburg, TO the effect that the only
democratic newspaper in Berkeley
county was soon going to flop over to
the republican party and each time it
has come from some man who profess
es to be democrat and who has never
bad interest enough IN his party to
subscribe for the only party paper in
his county or to give penny to is
support.
Once for all time we. wish to say
with all the emphasis that we can
command that the parties who started
the story, are knaves and we know the
motives which prompted The lie, the
man who clreulales the story is an ass
and the one who believes It Is fool.

1t seems almost certain now that
there will be railroad built from
Romney through Hardy, Grant and
Pendleton counties. This is rich sec
ton of country covered with timber,
its bills teeming with cattle and thous
ands of acres being planted each year
in fruit makes it a very promising
country for railroad. The project has
been worked through Messrs. John j.
and William b. Corr well and to them
he people of that vast scope of coun-
try which will be reached by the pro-
posed railroad ought to feel very thank
full.

What a miserable play the United
States government is making In its
pretended prosecution of the sugar
trust fraudg in New York where the
government has been robbed OF mil
lions of dollars of fixed scales at the
weighing house. A few clerks working
on small salaries have been arrest and
will doubtless be punished while the
real thieves, men higher up and who
have been reaping benefits OF the steal
ing will go free. No one believes these
men who worked for small salary
would deliberately fix the scales so as
to rob the government of their own
yelition and run lthe risk of turn in
the penitentiary to enrich the sugar
trust and those over them innocent
of wrong doing.

dollars of the; lowest man the board
very properly awarded the contract
to him he being home man.
MThe contract for the heating and

Mayor Cushwa richly deserves the
congratulations of the taxpayers OF
Martlnsburg on the appointments an
nennced last week. The members of
the board of affairs could net be I'M

judgment be impossible to find three
men in the city better qualified for the
high and responsible place. With such
men ia control of the business ofthe
city the new government is no longer
an experiment but It's success is as
sured. The board of affairs will find a
great deal of work on their hands and
many perplexing problems to solve
but with their extensive experience IN
business affairs no one doubts for a
moment their ability to handle the Of

to the satisfaction of the taxpayers.
