SO that suit could be brought in the
Supreme Court of the United States

that West Virginia's rights can not

think it is matter of the greatest
importance for West Virginia to be
on the alert and do the necessary
thing to have a settlement of this
claim. Our rights are so clear and
the justice of.onr claim is so apparent
