readers by confessing that it did
wrong in conveying the impression
to the public that the Supreme
court was divided in its decision OF
the Marion county case.
j What other case have the people
here been interested in?
What case has the West Virginian
been discussing since these appoint
ments were made?
We certainly have not been vital
ly interested in cases away from
there involving altogether different
issues.
The Times knows this and it
knows when it says the court was d.
vided that the people inferred that
1T was divided on the Marion Coun
ty case, and it was to rcfute this i'm
preston that we telcgraphed to the
clerk of the Supreme Court to obtain
Iho facts.
The West Virginiun did not say
that the Times said specifically that
the court was divided on the Mar
lion county case and the Times
knows 1t. What we did say, and
what we now repeat. is that tina!
is the impression the Times article
made.
Here is what the West Virsinian
said in that connections: ITO say
that the Supreme Court was divid-
cd in its decision In the Marion
county case, AS THE TIMES INSIN-
YATES. IF IT DOES NOT SO
PLAINLY ASSERT, is the rankest
kind of deception"
If we wanted to be personal like
the Times, for which offense 1t has
so often cautioned and criticised the
West Virginia, we might mention
some other kinds of newspapers
that "a progressive community Is
compelled to endure" But we will
not indulge in that sort of pastimc.
We prefer to discuss and keep the
public informed on the live questions
that are before the people and will
continue to do this in our own man
ner. and as our mind and conscience
dictates to us, regardless of whethc"
or not that policy is pleasing to the
ETimCS.
We have distorted no facts in thu
discussion of this matter and we do
not have to do so. The law and the
facts are on our side, have been all
the time, and the Supreme Court has
vindicatcd every contention we have
made. The only division of opinion
as far as the courts are concerned
on the Marion county case was in
the Marion county court, where, we
are informed. Commissioner Geo. NJ.

transaction that has so sorely veNcd
