IT'S UP TO STEFFENS.
One of His Magazine Stories Is FIatly
Denied.

Portland, Ore, Feb 22.-In the
March number of the American maya
zine is an article by Lincoln Steffens
on Oregon affairs, wherein he gives
the text of a telegram said to have
been written by H. w. Scott, editor of
the Oregonian, and sent by w. M.
Ladd to Jonathan Bourne at Salem
during the Oregon senatorial cam
paign in 1908. Mr.. Scott is declared
to have made offers of various kinds
to Mr.. Bourne in consideration of Mr..
Bourne's support of Mr.. Scott for
senator.
The Oregonian today will say:
1T is simply fiction. This socalled
agreement, alleged to have been writ
ten by Mr.. Scott, was not written by
him nor dictated by him, nor even
seen by him till now. It never ex-
listed. 1t is a fabrication by somebody
and sheer forgery. Tt follows, of
course, that it was not wired to
Salem on the last night of the session.
or at any time, by Mr.. Ladd, or by
anyone else; and Mr.. L-add moreover
never saw it till it was shown him in
this magazine article"

soon after he took an active part in
suppressing the sale of liquor in the

Page and Savings Bank
Advertising
From the Bellows Falls Times

From the Bellows Falls Times
Not so many years ago it was almost
as unprofessional for a bank to adver-
tise as for a doctor. Of late banks
have become more sensible but doctors
remain as hidebound as ever.
The man who has done more to pop-
ularize bank advertising in Vermont
than any other dozen 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 in the north
ern part of the state, have been forced
to advertise for self protection. Bank
advertising in Vermont is now con-
sidered 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 banks would like to fol-
| low the rule if they could 1t is sim
ply impossible for all the banks of the
state to keep all Vermont money in
Vermont. The Hyde Park bank is more
fortunate than others in being able
to invest it's money in the state. What
| appeals to the newspapers of the
state is Mr.. Pages Astounding faith in
| the efficacy of advertising and his
persistence in carrying out his convic-
| tons. That he pays his bills promptly
| and is no kicker are also points in his
favor. Through practical buJi ness
methods 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 business

News from Washington.

The first hearing before the House
district committee on prohibition fer
the district was held March II in
large assembly room in. the new House
office building, where 400 or more can
readily be accommodated. A majority
the room was filled to overlooking with
the friends and opponents of the bill.
The opening day was assigned to our
side, and Mr.. Shumaker, attorney for
the District Anti-Saloon league, open
ed proceedings by presentation OF
the case and explanation of the bill.
He had not proceeded far, however, be-
fore Representatives Kahn of San
Franc isco and J. Hampton Moore of
Philadelphia, both members of the CON-
mitteee, interrupted him with number
less questions, many of them entirely
foreign to the subject before them.
They paid theirsrespects to the anti
canteen law, dwelt on the ''lawlessness
of Maine, and the continued increase
of drunkenness in the state'' and the
hypocrisy and double dealing of prohi-
bitionists in general. These two gentle
men consumed most-.of the time allotted
US, only one other being heard, Rev. j
Reese Murrya, D. D., of this city
whose argument for prohibition was
. unanswerable. The chairman, Hon.
S. w. Smith ofsMichigan, seemed de
sirous of checking these members, ant
: allowing the persons who had come
. to address the committee to be heard
/ but his attempts to curb the liquor
supporters were without success. Tn
