be surpr;sinE II Hale's non-errearance At
the RtiYnford rally will not be frequently
repeated in the course Of the campaign.
Mr.. W. R.. Pattangall, Boss-in-Chief
of the Maine Democratic forces, would
term such stuff as that much worse
than abuse If a Republican paper
should utter it Of Democratic can
didates. OF course tho purpose Of the
Argus is entirely obvious: These can
didates are YOUNG MEN. Not even
the Argus can think Of anything real to
say against Mr.. Milliken or Mr.. Hale,
and something must be said. So they
are idle rich"
Just how idle these active young men
have been in business, in service Of
town, city and State, in church and
grange can best be Judged by the
people. Those who know Carl Milliken
and Fred Hale will smile at the Argus
tennis and surf pretense. 1t is not a
serious charge but it is made in an Of
fensive manner which no Republican
paper would care to assume against an
opponent. Attempting to arouse class
prejudice in Maine is pretty small poll

Mr.. Pattangall thinks the Demo-
cratic party is no longer a free trade
party. The inconsistency Of the posi-
ton of the Democratic party on the
tariff commission proposition. cannot
better be illustrated than by quoting
from the open letter Of Congressman
Warren Worth Bailey Of Pennsylvania,
a Democratic member to Floor Lead
er Kitchin, which was written as latc
as February last. Mr.. Bailey said:
"As 1 view it, the tariff commission
measure is distinctly misleading in
character as a whole, and in certain
provisions it is a concession to ideas
utterly at war with Democratic princi-
pies. Personally, l cannot become a
party to such a betrayal Of the I'm
derwood tariff, to such a disregard OF
Democratic principles and pledges. to
such a brazen APPROPRIATION OF
A REPUBLICAN PLAN"

The Reserve Bank System.

The federal reserve bank system is
by no means over-popular among those
who have to do with it. A recent
QUESTIONABLE by a New York trust
company addressed to each OF the
banks in the country drew out more
than 5000 answers Of which more than
$500 we're either distinctly unfavorabie
to the system or non committal. The
New York World regards this inves-
tigation as presaging an attempt to
upset the federal reserve system in
case the next Congress is Republican.
This fear is probably unfounded.
There are some good things about the
system-they being chiefly those fea-
lures which were taken over without
change from the measure advocated by
the Aldrich monetary commission.
There are other things about the sys-
tenn which are ia from desirable.
These are chiefly those features which
were added at the behest Of McAdoo o..
for the benefit Of the South. These
things should be changed-and they
will be as soon as the Republican party
is given the power to do so. The re-
serve bank system today is mainly
beneficial to the Southern state. 1t
furnishes some jobs for deserving"
Democrats. But it does not make it
any easier for the average business
man to do business.
