A Savings Bank Worth Patronage

- odNIH9o odHN WoTtU FdJOVd9C
From Newport Express and Standard
While few have chosen to criticise
Carroll s. Page for his liberal use of
printers ink in the advertising of the
Hyde Park Savings Bank. the fact goes
to prove that the use of it for the past
six months has increased the deposits
in his Saving Bank nearly a quarter
of a million dollars.
It also tends to prove that Carroll s.
Page has the confidence of hismany
depositors who are not only from his
own county, but throughout the state
at large.
A bank that believes in home invest
ments, that finds plenty of opportun-
tiles for investments at home, and
transacts its financial affairs upon a
solid basis without assuming unneces-
sary risks, is worthy of patronage and
its promoters worthy of unbounded
praise.
There are opportunities enough for
good solid investments in Vermont II
one has the eye and the keenness to
look them up; Carroll s. Page has an
eye for these investments and this Is
why he holds the public confidence in
the Hyde Park Savings Bank.

A vacancy that will have to be filled
at the coming village election is that
created by the death of the late John
Kelso, who had served the corporation
for so many years as clerk. Until re-
Gently the only name suggested for the
position was that of Richard F. Rawson
clerk of the Bennington County Saw
ings bank. Mr.. Rawson is a young
man of several years experience in the
banking business and Is in every way
thoroughly qualified for the position Of
village clerk. Associated as he is with
the village treasurer he Is ac-
corded an opportunity to thoroughly
acquaint himself at all times with the
finances of the corporation and this
knowledge should materially assist
him in the duties of clerk should the
voters of the village choose to elect
him to the Office.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

The political situation in the coun-
try is anomalous and surprising.
With all of the delegates TO the Ma
tiOnal Republican Convention elect
ed and with Hon. william II. Taft
far in the lead. the "allies" are con-
tending that ne is short of the re-
quisite number 10 make the candI-
date of the party in the approaching
presidential contest. That this is
true is apparent and yet it may not
be true, If We take into considera-
ton, the number of his supporters in
states that have favorite sons as can
didates for the Presidency.
The reason Of all this is due to the
belief that in states instructing for
the Secretary of War. there are ma
ny delegates who viii obey the state
on the first roll-call and il there is
second ballot will consider them
selves released and then will pro-
coed to vote as they see fit. This is
why the declaration Is made that If
Secretary Taft wins, it must be on
the first ballot. It is claimed that
NE will lose steadily on every sue
ceeding ballot. There is another
factor in the contest that must be
considered and that is the "sinews
OF war " necessary at Chicago.
Secretary Taft's barrel" has been
emptied freely in the effort to secure
instructed delegations from the sew
eral states. When the national con-
vention meets and the barrels of the
'allies" are rolled into the ante
rooms of the auditorium, there will
be some excitement and maybe some
changes OF votes. 1t will here be
shown as to what extent pledges
made at home are binding away from
home and Secretary Tafts fate will
depend upon the result
President Roosevelt while condemn
ing the influence and use of money
has been lavish in the use of
influence and government patron
age. II is difficult for a conser-
vative man to see the difference be-
tween the one and the other.
For our part, we have learned to
possess our soul in patience and A.
walt the final result.

President Roosevelt has decided TO
name Gen. Luke Wright, a Democrat
from Tennessee as the successor Of
Hon. William II. Taft, when he is
nominated for the presidency OF the
United States. IL is also asserted
that Gen. Wright was a failure in
the Philippines and that mis- antipa-
thy to the colored people is known
of all men. This was so marked a
feature OF his administration in the
islands that he made distinctions TO
extend even to the Philippines, who

SECRETARY TAFT's BLUNDER.

The fact that Hon. William H.
Taft in his Memorial Day speech at
Grants Tomb referred to his tenden-
cy TO indulge in the liquor habit en-
Phasizes what we have already said
I'm these columns relative 90 the
blunderbuss methods or the distin-
guished Secretary of War. He made
the same kind of unfortunate mis-
take IL his speech in japan were
correctly quoted No one with or
binary intelligence will charge that
Secretary Taft meant 10 offend the
family of the celebrated war and
peace chieftain. Still the impro-
priety Of the remarks and the injur-
ious consequences thereof will be no
less apparent.
We cannot understand how the
Secretary could have failed to see the
direful consequences Of such utter
ances, when IL is remembered that
his address had been carefully pre-
pared and advance sheets given to
the public. Inasmuch as the prohi-
.bition movement is uppermost in
this country at the present time. Il
would have been the part of wisdom
TO avoid all references to a subject
that could be construed 20 the great
commanders detriment. OF course.
IN Secretary Taft's foresight had been
Jas good as his hind-sight. he would
have left that part OF his speech out
.of his remarks, even though It was
before him in the written instrument.
Still, It must not be forgotten that
Secretary Taft has been the boon
companion of President Roosevelt,
who has been permitted 70 say we'll
nigh everything he pleases and to
act in accordance Herewith, and the
matter has been explained away up
on short notice.
