THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.

TT is characteristic of the Republican organization
i in Delaware that it is afraid Of full ex
preston Of party opinion at the primaries The
larger vote the better the Republican leaders like
IT, because they shape their policies by that opinion
They are eager that this year there shall be full
preston at the primaries to be held in August
Everything that can be done is being done to stimu
late the interest OF the Republican voters in those
elections The efforts are meeting with in
all three counties.
Each Republican voter should bear in mind how
ever that if he to take part in the primaries he
must register on next Saturday August or IL.
That is because the primaries of his party will be
held August 10 and who is unregistered
participate in them.
Important matters at stake in the impending
election. They affect nation. State and
county, 1t is highly essential that the Republican
party OF Delaware 60 before the people with strong
platform and strong candidates No thoughtful voter
can fail TO appreciate that fact the further fact
that it is his duty 10 register at the primaries
and assist in the work in hand
There are certain men who profess to be Repub-
icans but who merely Democratic hepmeets.
who would like have a light vote cast al the Au-
gust primaries II is the hope the Republican lead
ers however that the voters will heed the reach-
erous importuntes Of such men, who merely seek to
wreck the party but out in full force Au-
gust 10 and show certain political conspraors in this
state that the Republican electorate believes in party
organization in the principle Of majority rule and
in offering the public a platform and ticket that
stand for the best things there in Delaware ant
American life
The duty OF the hour, however. is for each Repub

What the Banks of The United States
Think of The Federal Reserve Act

Five thousand three hundred and
forty-tlve banking institutions in the
United States express their opinion
of the new Federal Reserve system OF
banking in pamphlet entitled
What the Banks Of the United States
Think Of the Federal Reserve Act"
just issued by the Guaranty Trust
Company Of New York.
It probably will not be very COM
forting to the Federal Reserve Board
and the sponsors OF the Act TO learn,
as they Will from a perusal OF the
results Of this questionable, that
banks maintaining a critical attitude
toward the law slightly outnumber
those more favorably disposed, while
those that are non-committal on the
subject exceed in number either Of
the other two classes. Replies were
received from 5.344 banking institu-
tions. of which 2,709 were National or
members banks, and 2.635 State banks
and trust companies. Banks from all
over the country responded and II
is safe to assume that a summary of
the replies indicates quite accurately
the general sentiment among all the
banks in the United States regarding
this new law.
While there are upwards of $4,000
banks in the country-and in the
Guaranty Trust Company's canvass
replies were received from a little
over a third of them-nevertheless il
is probable that this is the most thor
ough STRAW vote" that ever has been
ArI t,1
From the very beginning, there
naturally has been great difference of
opinion among the banks of the
country concerning the Federal Re
serve system. II has been generally
known that this was the case and that
there was considerable opposition to
some features Of the Act on the part
of bankers. both within and without
the system, but 10 has remained for
this canvass to bring out the facts in
a clear and unmistakable manner.
In view of the Inauguration on next
Saturday, July 10, of the Federal Re
serve Banks new clearing plan of the
country. II is particularly interesting
to notice the attitude of member
banks on this feature Of the law. Two
hundred and sixty-two member banks
that referred to this subject said that
the Reserve system should leave col
lections and clearings under control
of member banks as has been done W
TO this time. Almost an equal num-
ber-256 to be exact-were favorable
10 the more comprehensive system oi
collections and clearings.
Space does not permit the repro
duction Of all the facts brought tC
light concerning the banks attitude
toward the Federal Reserve system
but some Of the most interesting crit
icisms. both constructive and destruc
tive. are as follows:
OF the 1850 favorable replies. 1,22
or 20 per cent are from membe
banks. and 5S1 or 80 per cent. fron
non-member banks.
OF the 1.773 unfavorable replies
LOSS or 81 per cent are from mem
ber banks. and 6s5 or S9 per cen
from non-member banks.

From the Lewes Pilot.
With the memory still fresh in our
minds, of the way Lewes celebrated,
or rather didn't celebrate. last Tues

day. it seems that a repetition of such
neglect should be averted in the fu
ture.
Towns around us we're advertising
their attractions with all the interest
and enthusiasm that a town should
show on such occasions, and We al
home watched our people leave here
for these places.
An interest in the celebration oil
holidays should be taken by the bust

means a crowd here for the day, but
many visitors for several days or Z
