The wheeling IntelIigencer pub
fishes the following interesting edt-
toriaI, which shows how judicious
advertising brings in the dollars:
advertising pays. 1t pays even
the biggest and most successful mo-
Tiopolies. It pays in any business
where 1t is properly applied. It
pavs always where the advertiser
has something to sell that is worth
selling. and where there are people
able to buy.
Among the most recent converts 20
the theory of advertising are some
of the big railroads of the country.
one of the most conspicuous adver-
Using campaigns Is being successful
ly conducted by one of the Oldest
railroads, namely, the Pennsylvania.
Col. Samuel Moody. passenger traf-
ic manager of the Pennsylvania
railroad, announces that the great
railroad system will break all pas
senger traffic records in 1911 and he
attributes its phenomenal gain to
its powerful advertising campaign.
In January. February, March and
,April of 1911, the Pennsylvania
railroad increased passenger traffic
forty-e!ght per cent over the same
months in 1910. Advertising has
been the powerful magnate that has
drawn most of Its business. News
paper advertising has become an es-
tablished policy Of the great rail-
road corporations. and the increas-
ing amount attests its profitable re-
suits. Railroads are generally
natural monopolies. It would seem
that they would naturally have all
the business that was to be had
whether they advertised or not.
Nevertheless they have found that
Advertising creates business; that 1t
establishes new customers; that it
opens up new fields. These new Gus
toners are what the railroads want,
and the railroad that seeks the
hardest gets them.
1t pays to advertise.

Inter-County boulevard.

Trolley communication between
,CIarksburg and Fairmont has deyel-
.oped profitable interchanging BUSH
ness relations as to the two cities
and has done wonders for the towns
along the line, Notwithstanding the
fact that communication has existed
a few years only. Had the line
been built years ago, the develop
ment along the river and at the
terminals of the road would have
been far greater now. 1t was in
deed, an epoch-making day, when
the line was opened.
If traction communication does so
much for the two cities and the
places through which the road goes
why should not other modern COM
munIcations prove just as beneficial
or the latter a modern boulevard
extending from one city to the
other ought to be good developer
especially since the advent of auto
mobiles and other quickly moving
vehicles. The idea is entire prac-
ticable and the expenditure would
soon be restored to those making
the outlay just as every modern
road or travel way rewards its
builders. There Is scarcely a path
on the farm that does not pay for
its Improvement The better the
path the quicker the service. A
good road TO the pasture field keeps
the COW in better condition and she
does better service. A good. clean
stable is better than a poor, filthy

common Law DecIared.

Henry ClewS, the we'll known new
York banker, in his last weekly let
ter reviews the Standard Oil Com
pany decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States in an interest
ing manner and relates some facts
in connection herewith that are
highly instructive. He says the de-
c.sion Is a broad-minded interpreta-
ton of the Sherman anti-trust law
and then writes as follows, In which
he declares that the SHERMAN act is
a legislative declaration of the COM
mon law:
So far as the oil company itself is
concerned, the ruling could scarcely
have been more drastic, for 1t leaves
the corporation no choice but to dis
solve and abandon its present COM
bInations method of doing business.
This will involve the distribution OF
the corporations assets OF all kinds
among its stockholders and the re-es-
tablishment OF what are at present
subsidiary companies on practical
working basis as Independent con-
Germs. 1t is a process which means
in its turn the division of the Sc
curitfes OF the subsidiary organiza-
tons among the many holders OF
the at present parent organization.
The result it will be seen, Is not
necessarily a great hardship, aside
from the tremendous amount OF
clerical work involved. While every
effort will, of course, be made 20
comply with the courts decree, the
fact will remain that the ownership
of the various subsidiary organiza-
lions will still remain under the
control of the majority ownership OF
the present holding company. The
court provides that the constituent
companies may contract and
agree with each other. There will
probably, therefore. be no serious
losses to the stockholders.
But it is the broader question In
volved in the decision that is re-
sponsible for the relief that has been
shown in financial circles since the
decision was promulgated. The
court has given a not unexpected In
terpretatlon to the statute by de-
claring that 1t forbIds only unrea-
sonable restratnt-reStraint by Whlcu
the public at large is sufferer.
The Sherman law was enacted, pri-
marty, to put on the national
statute books the penalties of the
common law in regard to trade re-
straint. This is something that Sem
ator Hoar very clearly expressed
during the period that the sherman
law was under discussion before its
enactment. He showed that there
was not any common law ST the
United States and that the common
law prevailing in the separate states
of the union could not as such, be
enforced by the federal courts by
means of any penalty or punishment
This explanation affords considers
BILE light on the decision that has
just been announced, for it fonows

LIGHT on DRAINAGE CASES
Little Tarkio Drainage District
Not Hurt by the Supreme
Court Decision.

Since last weeks issue Of the Lead.
or copies Of the mandates In the cases
against the Little Tarkio Drainage
Dist rict, decided by the supreme
court, have reached the at orneys for
the district, and an examination Of
the opinion shows tina, instead OF the
dist rict being hurt by the decision Of
the court, they are really placed In
better position than they were by the
decree Of the Holt county circuit
court.
The attorneys for the district APP
pear To he mighty well pleased with
the decision, while the attorneys for
the appellants, the Richardson heirs
and the railroad company, are much
dissat isticd with 1t. In fact, the AT.
torneys for both appellants filed mo-
tions with the court asking them to
modify the opinions. These mot ions.
however, were promptly oNerrulcd by
the court, and the opinions A. rem
dercd 10y them still stand.
In the proceedings In the circuit
court Judge Ellison held that con.
domination was not involved In the
proceeding In which assessment Of
damages was made. The attorneys
for the district acuuiesced In Judge
Ellison's views, and attempted 10

proceeding, intending to afterward
bring proceedings for the condcnna-
ton Of the rights Of way needed.
The supreme court affirmed the va
lidity Of every step taken IN the pro-
ceedings, except that they held that
the rights of way could he and was
condemned In this proceeding, But
these appellants were entitled to have
a jury trial ON question of damages,
and sent the two cases back To the
circuit court with directions to try
by jury trial the question of damages
for the land To he taken for right o(
way from the appellants This Is ex-
actly what the attorneys for the dis.
trict wanted.
The decision In effect holds that the
rights OF way over the lands Of all
who did not appeal from this pro-
ceeding were condemned and acquired
by the district In this proceeding, 50
there will he no necessity of any new
proceedings for the condemnal ION of
any right of way to be taken.
