STATE BOARD OF PARDON MEET
Effort to Win Freedom For William
Bush, Prominent Wilmington Man

Application was made to the Board
OF PardOns in session at Dover, Thurs
day, for a pardon for William Bush
who is serving an eight year sentence
at the New Castle County Workhouse
on charge of embezzlement of funds
from the Wilmington Savings Fund
Society of which he was treasurer.
He was represented by Henry R.
lsaacs and because of the fact of
there being but three members of the
board present action on the case was
deferred until the December meeting.
Bush was sentenced in December 1920
and therefore has served nearly three
of the eight years sentence. The
principal grounds on which the appli-
cation is based is that he has been
sufficiently punished. Mr.. Isaacs read
letters from forty business men most
ly of Wilmington favoring his pardon.
The members of the board present
were Secretary Of State Benson, State
Treasurer FOuracre and State Auditor
Harrington. There was also an ap-
plication for a pardon for Lee Abra-
hams, colored, who is serving a 20
year sentence at the workhouse for
robbery. He has served more than
three years of his sentence. His poor
physical condition is the principal
grounds of the application. Mr.. Isaacs
also represented Abrahams and action

public good, using their power selfish

No nation or people ever achieved
greatness without the assistance OF
fnance,-accumulat capital, man
aged and directed by those skilled In
the handling Of wealth and money Ac-
cumulated resources are represented
at times by boards of gold, but more
frequently by ships, herds, and other
productive agencies.
America measures her resources m
terms Of billions Of dollars. She has
thousands OF prosperous homes, myri-
ads OF well developed villages and
towns, thousands OF miles OF railroads
and paved roads. This has been pos
sible through the investment and use
Of capital or wealth created and &C
cumulated by the citizens
When the early pioneers first rav-
eled over the prairies, which are now
rich and productive fields, their re-
sources consisted only of productive
soil, healthful climate, and the sun
shine and rain necessary TO the growth
Of vegetation
AS the early settlers wrought and
produced and prospered, they saved
These savings they invested in the
tools OF productio, plovs, harrovs,
binders, stores, railroads, banks and
manufacturing enterprises. THESE
SAVINGS FINANCED" PROGRESS.
The building OF the railroads was the
great outstanding contribution nt
finance 10 the development Of the West
The West owes a debt of gratitude TO
the investors In eastern states who
Tentured to invest their money in viz
gin territory, making possible develop
ment By the use OF their accumulated
resources.
Bank deposits represent very large
ly the savings Of the people. The loans
they make possible are employed In
pr 1ducttve enterprises. The develop
nent Of the agricultural communities
depends very largely upon the credits
extended By investors in other COM
munities- The development OF munic-
qualities Is possible very largely
through the sale Of municipal bonds TO
investors IN other places. All this Is
the work Of finance.
