To the Democratic Voters of
Prince Georges County:

Prince George S county,:
There appeared in last weeks
issue of the Marlboro Gazette
a letter signed by a Voter.
Any man who is coward enough
to attack a man without signing
his true name does not deserve a
reply but in fairness to the cause

and all of the allegations of that
letter. His indecent attack on
the late Governor Crother's mer-
it's the contempt Of every fair
minded man.
Inotice in the Gazette of to-
day a letter from Mr.. Holmead
to me which I have never re-
ceived.
He says he is in favor of Pres
ident Wilson's policies. | say
that regardless Of his personal
views he is aligned today with
that element of the Democratic
party in this county that is a
part of the present State and
county machine, and which ma
chine is and has been opposed to
every progressive measure
brought before the people of this
State.
He says he is and has been in
favor of direct primaries. In
view of the manner Of his choice
by a committee of nineteen in a
Washington saloon, is this con-
sistent with his stand for such
a primary? Did not his friends
in that Washington convention
say to the people of this county
who should be their State Sena-
tor, and name you as such.
Mr.. Holmead says he support
ed Senator Lee in 1911. So he
did but every imam allied with
him on the present organization

and is at heart against him now.

| Mr.. EDITOR With your permits
sion, l will have one more talk"
with the Democratic voters of Prince
Georges county. Impelied by only
the highest motives l announced my
candidacy for the State Senate in a
legal manner. At the time of so do
ing there was evidence of the need Of
a higher moral standard in our midst.
1t is the duty-the most important
duty-of citizen to strike at vice, to
uphold virtue, to defend the home,
to protect the weak, to shield from
harmful influences the youth of our
land, such were the feelings that
prompted my candidacy. thought
then and think now that the people
everywhere are tired of machine poll
les and animosities. / believe they
want to see the standard carried by
our noble President and matchless
Premier upheld in an humber way by
all who aspire to Office. This is day
of high ideals. The people are ruling
as never before. They have more
power today than they have ever had,
and the tendency and signs of the
times poiEt to even greater power in
their hands.
What, nay fellow citizens, are the
true conditions surrounding our local
fghta Taken seriously 1--WE should
not otherwise view them), are they
not enough to disgust freemen? Is it
not true that the Primary Election
Law has been ruthlessly disregarded j?
Are there not on every side evidences
of animosities and unworthy motives !?
Are the rivalries and chickering's of a
few of any moment to the people as a
whole? Respectfully,

ly announced my candidacy after
consultation with a few of my
personal friends in my own
office, from time to time.
| demand that Mr.. Holmead pub
fish the places, times and per sons
present at such conference as
he says went on, and defy
him to name a person or a place.
And | truthfully say that before
announcing my candidacy never
asked the support of any man,
nor had any pledge to ME, pre-
fering to go to the people, under
the direct primary law.
AS to our individual. candi-
dacies, / conceive the ISIS ue to be
one of principle and mot men
and assert without fear Of con-
tradiction that every man upon
the Progressive Democratic
Ticket stood with Governor
Crothers and Senator Lee for
the direct primary and corrupt
practices act, stood for Senator
Lee for Governor, for Gov. Will
son for President and for every
measure and man proposed by
these high lights of the Cause of
Progressive Democracy. [ say
that the men who have been so
consistent as a Ebody are better
to be trusted with progressive
measures than those who con-
sistentIy opposed them, with
rare exceptions. Mr.. Holmead
delayed publishing his letter un-
til the last moment but | trust l
have answered it fully, as have
frankly, and am willing to stand
by every statement have made.

THE ENTERING WEDGE.

= EO. w. PERKINS is a speech be-
fore the Los Angeles Chamber
OF Commerce Saturday night on
the subject Our Commercial Future"
pointed out that the income tax is the
beginning of the end Of great fortunes
in America. If by great fortunes he
meant such aggregations Of wealth as
Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan and
that class have accumulated, he Is
correct, If he means the aCcumula-
tion OF what might WE'LL be called for
tunes, that is from fifty to a hundred
millions, he is probably mistaken. OPP
portunities are so great in America,
that fortunes once started growing un
der certain circumstances cannot be
kept down to within narrow bounds
Now that the principle of the income
tax has been admitted to be correct,
as Perkins states, it is but the enter
ing wedge, for the principle will be
carried out sooner or later to its le-
gitimate conclusions, a graduated in
come tax. SO long as conditions re-
main as they are now this income tax
will be reasonable and only proper
burden on the vast wealth which 1t
protects However when necessity
demands greatly increased revenues,
such as a great war; for Instance,
would compel, incomes will be found
a strong beast on which to place much
OF the extra load The smaller in
comes will not feel this burden much,
but the bigger ones will be loaded to
capacity, practically conflscated, as
as certain as that night follows day.
The people are awakening to the fact
that great wealth pays but little taxes,
for II has way Of recouping, and,
while Ostenslbly paying much, Is in
tho final show down only collecting
the tax from others and turning II
over as It's own share Of the expense
OF running the government, The tax
on incomes will be different and the
graduated form OF this tax under
which the greater the income, the
greater the percentage Of tax, will fix
limit to the accumulation Of vast
fortunes, just as Perkins suggests, be-
cause the time will come when the tax
will amount, after a certain income,
large, of course,is reached 1t will be
conflscatory Such a tax would be
Just, too, for II would be returning to
a common fund for the benefit OF all
a portion Of that surplus gathered
from all, and for which the owner
really has no use Such law, for in
stance, would relieve Carnegie Of the
trouble he has in giving away his
money, for which he has no use. The
government would take IT, instead Of
It going into libraries, which, in many
cases, do little but to perpetuate the
name Of Carnegie.
However, the average newspaper
man, and the great majority Of the
other folks, need not worry in advance
over what the tax Is going to do to
them, and the fellow with millions
need not worry for with that kind Of
bank roll, they will have plenty
left, much more than those whom the
infamous" tax does not touch,

the means to accomplish anything. 1t
requires club and well handled
club at that. There Is not a bit Of pa
triotism in all these Mexican reyolu-
tions. They are not started to better
conditions, to remove wrongs, but are
simply the Mexican style of politics.
| The only object behind any Of them is
to put the party in power out, and get
control Of the government themselves,
for pecunary reasons. The bunch on
each side is just an aggregation of po-
lltical pirates, ready to rob and plum
der, their enemies preferably, but their
friends and associates if necessary,
and the government always.
There can be no mediation between
these armed guerillas who are fighting
for plunder, for they have nothing to
gain by peace, unless they are in the
lead, and, as all Of dozen factions
cannot be in control at the same time
there is no basis on which any COM
promise or agreement may be built

1t will have to be Intervention, or at
least through the fear Of it, and this
is the last resort, one that should not

ed. President Taft Is to be commend
ed for his cool-headedness, and the
American people for their patience un-
der very trying circumstances and
sore temptation to get mad and do
something. We as a country do not
want Mexico; our only desire is to see
her at peace with herself, and develop
ing along the lines and in the ways Of
her people, which are not the ways of
ours There is no homogeniety be-
tween us, nothing in common. We
think, act and grow along different
lines, and yet we may have to inter-
vene, assume load Of debt and the
responsibility for thousands of lives
snuffed out In the fierce fighting which
would be sure to follow Intervention
on our part It would mean the loss
of thousands Of American lives, thou
sands Of desolate homes In our own
country as we'll as In Mexico. 1t would
mean the creation Of another big war
debt-Of another big pension list--and
yet duty to ourselves, our obligation
to tho world when wo asserted the
Monroe doctrine, may compel us to
assume the responsibility, sacrifice
thousands Of our young men, break
thousands of mothers hearts and all
because our turbulent nelghbor Is in
capable Of self government, Indeed II
looks now as though this was certain
to happen. Either the present gov
ernment must mako good and do It at
once, or intervention is certain, and as

sination Of prisoner, its deposed

anything Of It but continuation of
