"GRAFT" CHARGES sIFTED
Governor and Attorney General
Making an Investigation.

Gov. Fletcher D. Proctor and At
torney General c. c. Fits were at
the house of correction Tuesday i'll
yestigating the assertions of Supt.
D. L. Morgan that prisoners are
committed mlawfully tor the sake
of the fees the officers get. 1t is
alleged that many prisoners are sent
to the state institution on charges OF
breach OF the peace, WING should go
to the county iails.
Certain Windsor county officers
are particularly under suspicion be-
cause the long distance from the city
makes the travel fees at fifteen cents
a mile large. The governor will not
talk on the subject for publication.
In connection. with the ''graft"
stories published in connection with
the commitment of prisoners to the
house of correction, the books have
been examined and they show that
the number OF prisoners committed
Tor breach OF peace since January I
is thirty-one. The town of Windsor
has contributed II of these prison

Deer Killing Continues

State Fish and Game Commission
er Fl. G.. Thomas, of Stowe, received
Saturday reports regarding deer
killed within the two days proceed
ing: The last includes doe in Barre
town, buck at Rockingham, doe
killed by dogs in Springfield, buck
illegally shot at East Charlotte, and
a doe killed by train at South Lon
donderry.
A deer. chased off from Georgia
hill by dogs, came down the Lam
ollie river at Milton Friday forenoon,
plunged over the dam at the grist
mill, and swan down the river for
some dis nce below the bridge be-
fore landing, nearly exhausted, above
the pulp mill dam. The deer went
into the yoods across from the mill.
This was the second one to make the
same trip within few days. Both

Page and Savings Bank Advertising
From the Bellows Falls Times

Not so many years ago it was al
most as unprofessional for a bank to
advertise as for a doctor. OF late
banks have become more sensible
but doctors remain as hide-bound as
ever.
The man who has done more to
popuIarize bank advertising in Yer
mont than any dozen other men is
Hon Carroll S. Page of Hyde Park.
In fact he has advertised the Hyde
Park Savings Bank so persistently
that other banks, particularly those
in the northern part OF the State,
have been forced to advertise for
self protection. Bank advertising
in Vermont is now considered quite
quite the proper thing.
Keep Vermont money in Vermont
for the development of Vermont is a
good rule for banking conduct and
no doubt most Vermont banks would
like to follow the rule if they could
1t is simply impossible for all the
banks of the State to keep all Yer
mont money in Vermont. The
Hyde Park bank is more fortunate
than Others in being able to invest
its money in the State.
What appeals to the newspapers
OF the State is Mr.. Pages Astounding
faith in the efficacy of advertising
and his persistency in carrying out
his convictions. That he pays his
bills promptly and is no kicker are
also points in his favor.
Through practical business meth
DDS and sensible publicity he has
built up in a little one horse town
hide business that leads the world
His ambition seems to be to make
his bank as famous as his hide bust
ness.

Think Success.

The oftener one gives exercise to
any faculty-uses, not abuses, it
the stronger and more flexible it
becomes. A Frenchman said once
on a time that whenever he wanted
a book on a certain subject and
could not find it he wrote one.
There is a tremendous lesson in
that. 1t means that each of us
can find out as much about any
thing we wish to be informed upon
as any other human being in the
world if we will only determine to
do so. We can achieve and conquer
anything another can if we make
up our minds to the performance of
it and make the determination the
law Of our life. Success has its
laws, the basic principle of which
is, "Give your best to get the best"
A writer on mental forces says,
''Think success and you win sue
cess"

This will be stirring season in
politics; in a quiet way great deal
of active work is going on now, and
occasional streeto talk betokens a
lively interest in town, county and
state affairs. A great deal hangs on
the election of a permanent successor
to the late Redfeld Proctor. 1t is a
bigger thing than the governorship,
partly because a Proctor is more
directly interested in it. The aged
Ex-Governor Stewart has been sent
to Washington for the time being,
which appointment gives everybody
a fair start in the race, including
Governor Proctor. A real senator,
like Page, might have been appoint
ed, but this, we infer, would have
been unfair to Gov. Proctor. Con-
gresham Foster, Hon. o. NJ. Bar
Der, Hou. DIN Merrill and all the
good old names that reappear as reg
ularly as the yellow almanac-the
list would doubtless include Stanton
and Prouty if they were not after the
governorship this year. The people
would have been quite as well salts
fed, but that isn't politics.
There will be contests in Yer
mont's IA counties and 246 towns;
the people viii know the affiliations
of the town and county candidates
for the biennial assembly-whether
they are for Page, or Proctor, or Eos
ter, or Barber, or some one hailing
from Hinesburg, Enosburg or Crafts
bury, where office holders come from.
There VIII be one issue-the senator
ship-and the fight has begun.
