Strike when the iron is hot and paint when the property needs it. They paint ships dozen times g year; yes, some of them, every voyage What for, do you think? To look nice and get business.
 A livery keeps it's carriages painted and vanished and washed, to look nice and get business.
 A man, with a house for sale or to let, "does it up," and Devoe is the paint.
 There's more in paint than to keep. out water. Paint for looks and you needn't think about water. A fresh coat of paint once a year is about as good for his credit as paying his debts. But the man whose buildings and fences look new, very likely has nc debts.

Banks Held Responsible for
Halt in Improvement
Rx w. G. NICHOLAS

New York. January 1o.-The street
was worked up into a state of excite
ment over the proposed disposition OF
Union Pacific's sS2,000,000 worth of
Baltimore and Ohio railroad stock The
theory was quickly evolved that SINH
lar performances would occupy the time
and attention of Attorney General Nc
Reynolds during the remainder of the
year and that Steel Harvester, Read
ing, Tin Can rejuvenated Sugar and
Tobacco and other cases would be set
tied out of court. The publication of
Union Pacific's plans aroused a tor
nado of interest in Wall street and the
contiguous areas. 1t started an endless
stream of speculation as to just what
effect the liberation of Baltimore and
Ohio from an intimate and cordial own
ership relationship with Union Pacific
might have. The general market sit
uation looks as though there might be
a restoration of activity ere long.
The banks are principally respon-
sible for the halt in business improve
ment. They have plenty of money, but
keep harsh pressure on credit, on the
ground that the legislation demanded
by the "progressives" and for part
put through, must be tested before
being accepted as satisfactory to the
public. The merchant and the manu-
facturer who have each a bank stand
ing of say 100000, find they can use
no profit half that amount and open
negotiations. In the past, 10 per cent
margin was required; in this case.

women were FURNISHED employment and

of men who We're responsible for the
creation of astounding industrial prog

for their punishment and for the con-
fiscatfon of the fruits of their courage,
their enterprise and their broad pa
triotism. BY curious freak of mathe-
matics a national ticket was elected,
although falling more s,than 100000
short of majority.
In the estimation of many sane and
solvent people the programme of de-
vastation that was widely proclaimed
had all the fervor of an apache war
demonstration, and a counter move of
retreat and defense was organized. At
the outset the chorus was one of loud
rejoicing in celebration of the triumph
of new born virtue over unbridled past
performance. The sequel was a semi
panic, which was at first ridiculed and
eventually recognized. The leaders of
anarchy reversed front Just in time
to save the country from a genuine
panic and real devastation. and the
country is awaiting a little further evil
dence of the Willingness of leaders of
disturbance to adopt peaceful methods
and possibly win over the army of
earnest citizens who had been worked
into a state of nervous terrorism. Newly
voiced expressions of returned sanity
and the repression of further threats
of violence are becoming features of a
reconstructed civilization.

SEEKING AGREEMENT .OF ANT|-OEM0CRATS
Col. Higgins Writes to Say, However, He Did Not Con-
 fer With Kennemer

Col $. Val Higgins of Guntersvillc, who is said to carry the 'progressive' vote of the Seventh district in his hip pocket, is telling tales out of school.
 For in a letter to The Age Herald he declares that according to his in formation plans have been suggested and accepted whereby the two branches of the "standpat' party, which have sworr eternal enmity, the one to the other. might lay down together, prov ing that the lion and lamb might be bound in amity. and that oil and water will mix.
 He writes:
 T am informed that MT Charles Kcnnemer Republican leader) sug- cested to Dr. Morton ('progressive' nominee for Congress) that he had MT. stephens republican nominee for Con- gress). select three men each, and let them decide which one should come cut of Ihe race, if either; which proposj- ition Dr. Morton accepted with the un- derstanding that he was to be- made known at once of whatever determina- tion was reached by the republicans This was on Thursday, october 15 and I am informed that no reply has been made to Dr. Morton"
 There was reason for MT. Higgins iettefes In Sundays Age Herald, J. Lee lIsarnes of Guntersville was quoted as sha.yinc said tbat ii was his underestimate ing taat'scelonel Higgins and Mir. Ken. nener had conferred in Guntersville tri,lav with the idea in view of with drawing Dr. Morton from the race ir favor of his republican opponent. Colonel Higgins in his letter states tiat he did not confer with MT. Ken remer Colonel Higgins protests against the general understanding that the s'progressive" vote of the Seventh goes as he directs. He declares tka- he believes in equal rights to all, and gives that allegation as an excuse for his .affilation with the "progressive'' wing of the. republican organization in Alabama.
 The Age-Herald gladly publishes MT Higgins explanation of the situation.
