WHOLESALE TRADE
IS MUCH IMPROVED
Brisk Movement and Prices
Holding Firms With Sup
plies More Adequate

Trade on Morris avenue, owing to the
bracing weather yesterday, showed
marked improvement and a brisk move
ment is now on. Prices are holding firm
and the supply is improving, although it
is still far from adequate for this time
of the year
The bad weather which has prevailed
for the past week throughout the country
has had it's effect in shortening the sup
ply of commodities for the Morris avenue
wholesalers as railroad facilities are
hampered in the middle west and it is
almost impossible to get any kind of a
shipment. Yesterdays corrected wholesale

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Graduated Income Tax

To the Editor OF Ihe Age-Herald.
/ was greatly interested to note that
your issue of Tuesday. March 25, con-
tains an editorial on the Terms of the
Income Tax" 1 hope YOU will not take
ii amiss IL I suggest that you have
touched this topic rather lightly in view
Of its prominence both now and IN years
past. The question of graduation versus
flat rate is indeed formulated, but
repeated reading of the article does not
enlighten me as TO The Agc-Herald's s
stand in the controversy. Is 1t really
true that the democratic party has never
defined its attitude toward the princIpe
of progression or graduation, which has
long since become a live issue in half
the states of the union? Other national
parties at least 5ave not missed the
opportunity; graz xes. are explicitly
ndorsed IN the Ia hleual platforms OF
the proeressives' me pIqhibitionists and
the socialists. ~ o4d if not he so,,nd
party tactics FOR ~ deulocrats just to
bear this gentl, in ninl while they
are reaching thor esalsi0a? Yours very

MT. Bailey. Two years ago your
fathers partner, Mr.. Marvin, induced
him to agree to investigate chance
to purchase a Peruvian concession to
cost $4,000. This they had every
assurance could be sold within a year
at an enormous advance. Nearly all
the capital of the firm was turned in
to cash. Mr.. Marvin departed on his
mission. He wired from San Fran
cisco and since that time not word
has been received from him.
"They think he was murdered
robbed?"
That's the only way they can ex-
plain this unaccountable silence"
agreed the lawyer. "Cramped for
capital, your father has seen the
business fairly go to pieces. He kept
the true state of affairs from you.
He had even paid Mrs. Marvin the old
liberal drawing account Of her hus-
band. She has daughter, Elsie, just
finishing. her education. Poor wo-
man! It was a severe blow when your
father broke down physically and
mentally and she learned the bitter
truth as to how affairs stand"
Percival Deane f1guratively took of
his coat and started in to make time
and ability count The first thing he
did was to send his father and
trained nurse to a Southern health
resort. as suggested by the family
physician At the end of a week he
had the muddled affairs of the firm
on a tangible basis.
ct doesn't look very promising"
he told himself. "The factory can
do no new work until the debts are
paid off and some fresh capital Sc
cured. There is, however, a big stock
of foundry and machine shop sup
plies on hand. If this could be sold
off it would bring in a large aggre-
gate amount. havea plan to create
a demand"

There is no doubt that my fathers

Well, l am here to mend it,
'T.hope you do and you look as if
you are going to give the experiment
a good, hard try, - observed the. attor-

clear-faced, supple-limhed young

Fifty Years After.

The New York World says Fifty
years ago the most distinguished liv-
fought for three years under the
dier who commanded the Confederate
army at Gettysburg. To-day the
most distinguished living son of Vir-
ginia is the President of the United
States.
"On the bench of the Supreme
Court of the United States sits a
grave and learned Chief Justice who
was once a rebel soldier. With him
sits an Associate Justice who served
four years in the Union army and
was three times wounded in three
different battles. There sits also on
that bench another Associate who
wought for three years under the
Stars and Bars"
Yet Governor Blease says this is a
Yankee Nation, and he wants as little
to do with it as possible. Besides the
men named above, thousands Of 9TH
er Southern men are holding high
positions under the Democratic Ad-
ministration in Washington. These
Southern men with other men from
all parts of the country, make up the
greatest government on earth. Call
it a Yankee Nation, if you please.

ENCASED IN CONCRETE.
brakeman in Wreck Lands in Sand,
Cement and Water.

During the heavy downpour OF rain
at Magnolia, W. Va, on the Baltl-
more and Ohio railroad, several cars
Of a freight train were derailed. Two
cars one containing sand and the
other cement, were crushed together,
and in the midst of the wreckage,
Brakeman Henry Blogge was pinned
by the mass of cement, sand and
broken cars. Blogge had been rid
ing on top of the car Of cement when
the accident occurren.
1t was several hours after the accl-
dent before Blogge regained con-
sciousness. Then he found that ne
was incased in wet cement and sand'
which formed concrete.
Blogge's head, shoulders and arms
were clear of the solid mass, but he
could not extricate himself because
of the wreckage piled on him. After
several attempts the imprisoned man
attracted the attention of members
of the wrecking crew clearing away
the debris and they made an attempt
to relieve him.
It was many hours before they
were able to get to him. BY this time
the concrete had set and Blogge was
encased tightly in the solid mass.
After several efforts to break up
the immense mass of concrete two
heavy cranes on the wreck train lift
ed it aboard a car. The incased man
was taken to the Martinsburg shop
where the concrete was broken under
q steam hammer and Blogge rescued
from his peculiar position.

Democracy and Currency.

For. many years and up to the
time that Woodrow Wilson was elect
ed President about score of men IN
New York with J. Pierpont Morgan
at their head had in their power to
impound financial credit. Nobody
could borrow money for important
enterprise without their consent and
if the proposed industry in any way
competes with their enterprises no
banker dare finance the new concern.
no matter how good the security.
The acquisition of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company by the street trust
showed that certain men in New
York could create financial panic
whenever they think it to their in
terest to do so, and they can put an
end to a panic whenever they have
accomplished their ends.
There was the panic of 1907; 1t
was assuaged as soon as Theodore
Roosevelt, then president of the Unit
ed States, granted indulgence to the
steel trust to violate the Sherman
antitrust law and buy the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company. You see
the Tennessee Coal and Iron con-
Germ made a better steel rail than
the steel trust could produce. Har-
riman ordered 10000 tons of rails
from the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company. Whatever else he was,
Hartman was the best railroad man
in the United States in this-he
would have the very best equipment
for his roads, regardless of cost.
That purchase of rails made the panic
Of 1907, for the mission of that pan
ic was to enable the steel trust to get

it acquired that rival, in defiance OF
