shat | am prepared TO meet the argu.

to certain things that have been a. /.
complished In she way OF reform
Insist that the democrats in the
house and senate have been more
loyal to reforms than republicans,
and that he IL ungrateiul to the dem
ocrats when he intimates that IA dem

What can be promised In the way

The president has no plan for elimi

more dangerous to them than demo-

Tort has been made to remove the
tariff which was imposed Tor the ben.

The democratic party has a plan.
Under this plan no corporation will
be permitted TO control more than
fifty per cent OF the total product,
and every corporation controlling
more than twenty-five per cent will
be brought under the supervision OF
the federal government and compel.

Guaranteed Bank Deposits.

Arguments against the Democrat
proposal to guarantee bank deposits
are not worth consideration, Is the
way William Marion Reedy puts is
In his St. Louis Mirror. There IL no
reason why the banker shouldn' .
give security to depositors, as the
people have to give security for
money to she banks. That such u
law would make more reckless bank
ers Is an absurd assertion. Is would
make all bankers more careful 80
protect themselves against wild-cas
bankers. The law has been tried Ia
Oklahoma and 1t works well. Is Is
favored by goodly proportion OF
bankers themselves in both parties
in Kansas. A safety fund plan was
tried In New York in 1929, or there.
abouts, and failed in a panic period
because she law was extended 80 as
to cover not only the circulation of
the banks that failed but all the
other debts OF insolvent banks, and
was inadequate to that end. Is was
tried Ia Vermont and was found TO
work perfectly to the end In view.
The protection OF bank deposits by
tax upon shareholders In banks Is
as Legitimate q function OF govern
ment as any that can be imagined.
When Mr.. Tait talks against such q
law he talks solely In behalf OF the
few bankers against the many de
positors. About the worst that Is
said OF the proposal is that it is
Socialistic But shat means moth
ing. The government is already So
cialisticin an extreme degree In many
things that are so good thst no one
would change them. The protection
OF the bank deposits OF the people
against loss is good thing for the
people and 1t will tend to make the
banking fraternity keep sharp eye
upon the men in the business who
need watching and prevent losses in.
stead OF making them good. The
banks now In big cities occasionally
have to make over some weak insti-
tuition to prevent crashes that might
precipitate runs. There have been
two or three cases OF this kind In St.
Louis. Why not make all bankers
responsible for all deposits, by means
OF q fund raised through taxation.
II will drive out bad bankers and II
won's hurt good ones materially.

"Among all the greatly advertised
medicines for kidney and bladder
trouble there is nothing which equals
Peruna. I suffered for several years
with this trouble, spent hundreds of
dollars on doctors and medicine and all
to ns purpose until I took peruna'
"One bottle did me more good than
all the others put together, as they only
poisoned my system. Peruna cured me.
1 used it for four months before a COM
plete cure was accomplished, but am
truly grateful to you. The least I can
do in return is to- acknowledge the

THE PILON SUIT
Final Decision is Against viger -He Must Now Pay Up
 or Go 10 Jail.

The final decision in the breach of promise suit of Miss Emma Pilon of West Main street against Alfred B. Viger of Pittsfield has been hand- ed down and it is in favor of the plaintiff. There is nothing left Vig- CT to do now but comply with the verdict of the jury given almost q year ago in favor of Miss Pilon for damages of $6,000. Viger's last mo. tion, argued in the supreme court in Boston a few weeks ago, was for a new trial on the grounds that the verdict was agains-1 the evidence and it has been denied This final decis- ion was given by Judge Dana in the supreme court in Boston yesterday and word to that effect to-day reach- ed Attorney Church, counsel for Miss Pilon. The total sum which Viger will have to pay amounts now to almost $7,000, though some Bos- ton and Pittsfield papers say it will be about 5000. This sum includes interest at 6 per cent and the costs of court.
 Miss Pilon was engaged in a cloak store in Pittsfield when she became acquainted with Viger. He professed most particular regard for her and in the end day was set for their marriage When that day came Viger was not ready to wed and in the end he declared he had never agreed to marry. Soon after he mar- ried another young woman and then it transpired that Viger had two strings to his bow all the time. Af- ter Miss Pilon brought suit over lures toward settlement were ad- vanced by Viger but the Waterbury girl was smarting too much from the indignity inflicted upon her by Viger and she wished to punish him as severely as the law would per- nit. He is said to be worth between s25,000 and s40,000. There has been an attachment on his property since the suit was instituted almost two years ago.
