What We Depend upon.


The development Of thi.
state depends upon capita
and transportation. We
have the raw material coal
lum|er, fire-clay, oil and
gas. Except for home con-
sumption, this end Of the
state can not be a farming
country. Our Developments
and wealth must depend
upon the aforementioned
raw materials. To develop
these, we must rely upon
the trunk lines cf railroad
which go to the ocean and
the lakes. This state is now
demonstrating that it can
handle, even bring to its
knees, the great B. & O. sys-
tenn. 10 do this, it did not
require the aid of the nat
ional government. The
Hepburn bill has been on the
statute books for years and
and never did a cents worth
OF good for West Virginia
and never will never can.
On the contrary. it has al
ready injured this state.
Pittsburg and competing
districts are trying to force
west Virginia coal to accept
the increased rate which the
greater distance Of this state
from the market y 1uld, on a
mileage basis, demand.
That question is now out
of our hands. The interstate
commerce commission now
has in lis hands the power to
run the coal industry of this
state. Our shorC-sighted
statesman whopermitted The
Hepburn bill to become a
law, not only forgot the pri-
mary principle that 2 power
once taken from the states
never returns, but, they ex-
hibited, in then vote for this
measure, an ignorance Of
the reeds of this state, nor
anticipated by the thought
full men who study CONNER
olal conditions. A mileage
basis is what this state has
to fear. That basis is con-
seryation OF natural resour-
ces, according TO some. 1t
would say to west Virginia,
hold your coal for fifty or
one hundred year, till such
time as the demand for coal
will justify The longer haul.

The editor of newspaper is
often accused of leaving out GER
tain items Of news, purely be-
cause of a dislike for the person
to be mentioned. This is all
bosh. The editor has something
like million different things to
think of in connection with get
ting out a paper and it is not
surprising II he misses an item
occasionally, or sometimes for
gets one which has been called
to his attention. Nine out Of
every ten you ask for news Will
tell you they can't think of any.
But in most cases they expect
the editor to think Of them all,
and criticise him if he fails in
a single item. The best way is
to give the editor credit for what
he does find and mention or some
things he finds and dosen't men
ton.

continuance OF that graft. but they
add the beneficent provision that
the shipbuilders be reimbursed from

equal to the ta'iff tribute they have
to pay the trust. In other words
the people will have to pay the
