If men who are in debt are determined to vote for tariff for revenue only, let them take their medicine without a murmur, when the business closes down as a result of a change in the business policy of the government. Let them sell their products for lower prices and pay higher rates of interest without a protest.

To the voter undecided whether to leave the Republican party ,anJ vote with the Progressives, \y& would say: No party in the history of the United States has doi}e so much for the good of the whole people as the Republican party. Don't abandon it on the invitation of ambitious men who have originated and are leading a new.party simply because they could not get what they personally wanted in the Republican party.

Woodrow Wilson is a good man. So was Grove7* Cleveland. Woodrow Wilson believes in free trade. So did Grover Cleveland. If elected, Woodrow Wilson will seek to pass a tariff-for-revenue-only law. That's what Grover Cleveland attempted. Very few people ha\e forgotten the results. The same thing will happen with Woodrow Wilson and tariff for revenue only. History will repeat itself.

Our faith in the Republican party is still unshaken. No other party organization in the United States has been the constructive force that it has been. Always maintaining a due respect for the fundamental principles of our government, it has met in a rational and practical way all demands of the people for advancement and progress. The more intelligent the people become, the more critical they are. The future will see the administration of the national government more perplexing than former-

Three Points

There are some complaints about the Registration law, but on the whole, it has worked reasonably satisfactory. It is a step in the right direction. Its purpose is to promote honest elections, and anything looking to that result should have the loyal support of every good citizen The law could not be expected to be perfect, and it will no doubt be amended where found to be defective. Let the citizens of the state give it a fair trial and loyal support.

Are the farmers of this country who are going to vote against President Taft because of his advocacy of reciprocity with Canada, aware of the fact that if Woodrow Wilson is elected president, that they will not o^ly have to compete with the farm products of Canada, but with those of all other countries? A tariff for revenue only will cut down the price of all farm products.

The death of Andrew J. Banks Monday afternoon removes the oldest business man of Greenfield. For fifty-four consecutive years his name has been connected with a business firm of this city. He came to Greenfield a young man in 1858, and entered the firm of Banks, Wallace & Banks, as the junior member from that time until his death he had been associated with the mercantile business of the city. He was a successful business man. He was a peculiar business man, but he possessed the qualities which attracted men to him and which commanded their respect, confidence and patronage, as few men did. He was always modest and quiet, but his judgment on all lines of merchandise was of the very best, and his especial pride was to handle the highest class of wares, and such goods as he could and did guarantee. He made a reputation for a square deal that made his name a synonym for integrity and honesty. In a modest way he enjoyed life, taking especial pride in his family and home, to both of which his life was devoted. He was distinctly a home man, and to have his family and his grandchildren at his home was one of his greatest pleasures, and he never was happier than when in company with his life companion, they beautifying with flowers and plants the Jarge lawn which surrounded his beautiftil home, which he made one of the most attractive and comfortable in the city. He had a warm place in his heart for all the old, substantial citizens of the county, whom he had known for many years, as they toiled and wrought incessantly for the development of Hancock county. He and they had their, part in transforming the county from a wilderness and a swamp to one of the best counties in the state. He had a sincere appreciation of the liberal patronage he received from the older citizens, and in later years he often spoke of the citizens with whom he did business for many years, in words of the highest respect.

To consider in selecting your bank:

FIRST—Will my money be safe SECOND—Can I get it when I want it? THIRD—Will my bank be able and willing to give me financial aid when I need it?

With capital of fifty thousand dollars conservatively managed, this bank is able and willing to give iis patrons financial aid when they need it.

ly. All the troubles of the government did not culminate with Mr. Taft's administration, neither will they cease with it. Other presidents will have perplexities. Woodrow Wilson will have them, and he can not avoid mistakes and criticism. Even Theodore Roosevelt could not please the people as he formerly did. The Republican party will survive all desertion, all defeat, and will yet be hailed by the people as the rescuer of the business of the country from the effects of tariff for revenue only. It is the truly progressive party, and the party which does things. We have faith in it.
