words of comfort and encouragement by

of food will not be pressing one About

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
DANGER OF OVERRIDING In

The rush to business just now is
phenomenal but not unexpected. For
some time previous to the election busi-
ness was practically at a standstill
and impatience at that soon became in
suferable. Among Americans mental
energy accumulates rapidly; idleness
Of a few days even renders them ner-
vCus they must be doing something,
or be miserable or worse. The rush
to business as soon as the result of the
election was known was natural. The
impetuousity of it is to be measured
by the long restraint forced upon
them by adverse business conditions.
Wherever there is market to the
value of a dollar the travelling sales
man will search it out; indeed, a dozen
will, and behind them each will be
mills and factories humming and roar
ing in the manufacture of what the
market demands or will stand. Con-
sumption of all sorts of things is in
such a country as this almost beyond
comprehension, but so is the product

plete0 markets have been gorged be-

ergy, a glut of the markets. and then

THE JACKSON AND SHARP COM
PANY IS ALL RIGHT.
For several days there has been a
rumor current that the Jackson and
Sharp Company is in financial trouble
and that that is what led to the shut
ting down of some of the departments
of the immense plant. Diligent in
quiry fails to show that there is any
ground for such rumor. Various men
who are directly or indirectly inter-
ested in the condition of the concern
when questioned upon the subject.
stated that they had heard the rumor
but that it was without foundation.
This morning an Evening Journal
reporter met George S. Capelle, presi-
dent of the Wilmington and Brandy
wine Bank, where the company keeps
its account, and called his attention to
the story afiOat.
There is not a word of truth in it.,
and l think you ought to say so" he
said. "The company is in no financial
distress whatever. I have heard the
rumor at several places, but it is
groundless."
