Sunday newspaper readers who
know what's what have come to
look upon the tabloid fiction mag
azine in colors as one of the most
desirable and attractive features
of the complete Sunday paper.
Therefore it will interest them to
learn that at this tine "ThePhila
delphia Record" Sunday Maga
zine is the only publication of its
kind regu'arly issued each week
by a Philadelphia Sunday news
paper. You'll like "The Sunday Rec
ord" for itself for its reliable
news, its authentic sports, its
authoritative weekly departments
but you will especially appreciate
its superior fiction magazine. Be
sure to get your newsdealer to
reserve a "Record" for you next
Sunday. After that you'll be a
regular reader of "The Philadel
phia Sunday Record" and you'll
have to settle the family question
as to who is to have the first
chance at the magazine, only one,
copy of which is furnished with
each copy of the newspaper.

Long Controversy Ended.
The decision of the Supreme
Court directing the State of West
Virginia to pay her portion of the
public debt of old Virginia as it
stood when the State was divided
ends, it is hoped, a long contro
versy which ought never to have
been raised at all says the Phila
delphia Press.
The division of Virginia and
the creation of a new State out
of the western portion was a war
measure apparently justified by
the circumstances of that time.
But the old State debt was in
equity a mortage on the undivid
ed State and West Virginia should
naturally and properly carry her
share of that joint burden. The
men who framed and ratified the
Constitution of West Virginia re
cognized this claim and directed
that an "equitable portion of the
debt of Virginia a3 it stood on
January 1, 1SG1, shall be assum
ed by this State."
Notwithstanding this constitu
tional mandate the Legislature
of West Virginia never took the
steps to pay either the principal
or interest of that State's share
of the debt. Virginia's many re
quests for a settlement of the
claim has never met with any fa
vorable response. Virginia in
the meantime increased her debt
and subsequently readjusted or
reduced it and acknowledged re
sponsibility for only a portion of
it. At the same time it issued
certificates for the portion of the
debt it thought West Virginia
should assume and promised to
exert her influence to secure from
West Virginia the payment of
these certificates, but it did not
propose to pay them herself,
This did not extinguish Virgin
ia's liability, however and in 190G
that State very properly brought
suit against West Virginia and
obtained a judgment of $12,300,
000 covering the principal and
back interest of West Virginia's
share of the debt.
This money goes eventually to
the certificate holders who have
been holding almost worthless
West Virginia certificates for
many years. Virginia has done
her full duty in this matter and
West Virginia will be compelled
to pay her past debt and make
good the pledge of her Constitu
tion. Other States have been
able to repudiate their debts
because a pernicious amendment
of the Federal Constitution for
bids individuals to bring a . suit
against a State. One State may
however, sue another in the Fed
eral Courts and by the use of
this power Virginia compels West
Virginia to pay her share of the
joint debt contracted before their
separation.
