THE "SOCIALISTIC, ISSUE

Trust Governor Smith for the neat touch. In his Philadelphia address he came back at his critics with quite rough massage when he re. ferred to how the erstwhile oppon- ents of the Federal Reserve System regarded it as "socialistic" Today some of the very head men in the parties. who dubbed the idea at its inception with this scathing term are among it's most outstanding ad- vocates.
 If the Federal Reserve System is socialistic then we know quite few bankers who are terrible socialists, although they may never have read the platform Of the party nor read any of the speeches of Norman Thomas.

REEDS HOT TUNE"

Senator James A. Reed of Missouri remains the arch inquisitor. Now he has taken a fling at Herbert Hoover and in true Reedesque style. the fling is what the ordinary mortal would call hot" It may be a little late in the year to bring up all that Senator Reed has put on the public dissecting table. but it remains an interesting contribution to the gen. eral knowledge. Certainly there has been no more remarkable man than Hoover in more respects than his record as relief worker. Being di- rector in 2s British concerns. having been British taxpayer. having had his abode in London and perhaps the right to vote there. not having cast an American vote until 46 years of age. was British Liberal in 1917, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President in the spring of 1920, a Harding supporter by autumn of that year. and a Re- publican member of the cabinet in 1921, and the Republican presiden. tial nominee in 192S-this most .ss. suredly is a record achieved by nc man in the history of the country Senator Reed says the record is as clear as daylight and MT.

PHILADELPHIA AND SMITH

In making an address in Philadel- phia Governor Smith let it be known to the nation at large that the Quaker City is considered something of a possibility for the Democrats in this election, It would be astonishing indeed if Philadelphia gave a ma iority for the Democratic candidate
 Philadelphia was the only big city in the United States which gave a ma- jorlty for Taft during the Bull Moose rumpus in 1912, which should be some evidence of its grand old party regularity. Yet even in Philadelphia there is difference of opinion this year and for once the Union League Club is not regarded as the last word in wisdom. For one thing, the city is terribly wet, and it seems that . horde of wet Republicans are peeved at the prohibition situation, espe. clally thls year when somebody has made it a little more difficult and expensive to procure liquors. For one thing, the vote in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania will be watched with more interest than usual this 1 , think that the Democrats have a fighting chance to carry the state: but why should Smith waste time there if John J. Raskob didn't stick to his belief 1t could be done?

Down in Berlin, 1t Is stated. the women vote will decide how the town votes in the election. That must mean there are more wom- en voters in town than men. But that would not put Berlin in . class all its own. The records throughout New England indicate that there are more women registered to vote than men, which simply means that there are more women than men in this tier of states. That isn't exactly good news for all the women, either.
