To accept hearsay as fact is fail
ing to which all of us are prone. A
conspicuous illustration of this is sup
piled by the readiness with which
some well meaning persons in our vi
cinity appear to believe stories of
business difficulties in the commun-
ity. Rumors of failures fill the air.
No one knows where they come from
and most people realize that no basis
for them in fact exists; yet plenty of
thoughtless tongues are found ready
to pass the doleful tidings along,

Sen. PAGE on Dillingham;.

The following paragraphs are TAX
en- from a letter sent to republican
headquarters by Sen. c. S. Page in
response to an inquiry sent by Sec
Searles asking about the truth of
certain charges made by the Prouty
organization.
1 am surprised to see the 'Edu-
cational Menu" of the PTouty Club
do such a rank injustice to Senator
, Dillingham; as to, by implication,
lead the people of Vermont to be-
lieve that he was in favor of Cana
dian Reciprocity. This is a matter
where he and l were in conference
many, many times and we each reach
ed the same conclusion, namely, that
the interests of Vermont demanded
that we oppose the passage of this
measure. Dillingham; made speech
es in Vermont, and l think in the
Senate, against reciprocity and his
vote counted as much as my own
against the measure although at the
time the vote was taken, Senator
Tillman, with whom he was paired,
was i'll and not in attendance upon
the senate, a fact.which Senator Dill
ingham announced, stating his pair,
and at the same time saying that
were Mr.. Tillman present and he
permitted to vote, he should vote No.
On the measure for the establish
ment of Childrens' Bureau Senator
Dillingham; instructed me to say to
the Senate that he was paired with
Senator Tillman but if present he
should vote for the bill
The Prouty Educational Menu"
fhnA nS1Tfv,
for the measure establishing a par
cells post. This is an error. Dill
ingham was absent during the con-
sideration of the bill but on it's final
passage, which was on the adoption
of the conference report of the two
houses, on the bill, he did vote af-
firmatively.
I couldn't if I would, and be truth
full, do otherwise than say that in
Senator Dillingham; / have found one
of the most honorable, conscientious
men l ever knew; loyal in every fiber
to the interests of his state; a digni-
fed, courteous gentleman, beloved
and respected by every republican
senatorial colleague, and don't
know but | might say by every col
league, democrat or republican, for
they all regard him as one who
measures up to the highest ideal of
a senator and a gentleman.
To the questions "Is he honest, is
he capable, and will he support the
constitution" an unqualified and
emphatic Yes can be given.
More complete proof of the dis
honesty of Mr.. Prouty and his politi-
cal workers in their efforts to tear
down Sen. Dillingham; for the sake
of getting Prouty into his place is
not necessary. 1t is but another ex-
ample of the unfairness of Mr.. Prouty
in his political methods and should
convince every honest voter of his
untitness to be senator on account of
his methods.

The hopelessness of the progress
sive cause in the state is most clearly
shown by the action of E. T. Crosby
of Brattleboro who accepted the nom
nation for ieutenant-governor on
the progressive state ticket, and more
recently the nomination for town re-
preventative in his native town of
Brattleboro. He refuses to with
draw his name from the state ticket,
saying there is no hope of election
and he does not consider it worth
while to make so much trouble con-
corning an Office he does not expect
to get. If Mr.. Crosby expected a
great victory, he would not follow
this course and it looks from this
distance as though he was not expect
ing a victory in either contest.

culating notes. There need be little
fear therefore, OF any repetition OF
the conditions Of 1907, when there WAS
so much distress through the inabir
ity of banks To supply circulating
medium. The banks of the country
under this law, may take out $780,
100000 additional national bank notes.
There is no probability that anything
like that amount will be needed or
could be used.
THE treasury is cooperating in ev-
cry way possible. It has printed these
notes in advance so that they are I'M
mediately available and the door is
open for the creation of any reason
able amount of perfectly sound cur
rency to meet whatever legitimate de-
mands there may be for circulating
medium"
The suggestion for a loan of $780,
600, 600 gold to England was made at
meeting today of representatives Of
the foreign exchange houses. 1t WIS
proposed to ship the gold to England
or what met with more general ap-
proval, to hold the gold here In the
latter case this money would be placed
to the credit of England, perhaps un-
der the supervision Of representatives
OF the British government. Another
proposal was to purchase a special
issue of British bonds to be under
written here. The primary purpose
would be to halt the unprecedented
outflow of gold from this country ard
enable Europe to pay for exports,
which it is expected will be made in
the near future.
Differences of opinion arose as to
the advsability of the suggested loan
to England. A committee Of five was
appointed to devise a plan and held
a stormy session. 1t was finally
agreed that August Uirich, chairman
of the committee of foreign exchange
representatives, and Max May vice
president of the Guaranty Trust Com
pany, should go to Washington to
night. A telegram was sent to Secre
| tary McAdoo and it was understood d
I meeting with President Wilson haC
been arranged for tomorrow. Mr.. III
rich and Mr.. May were to return tc
| New York in time to meet the other
members of the committee tomorrow
night. The full committee in turn
was to report to the main body early
Monday.

The premier pointed out that the

tours and leave foreign PAGES. Eng
land affords virtually their only
chance of reaching home. Inability
to obtain money because express and
bank checks cannot be converted into
currency except at the highest dis
count rates is another incentive to
leave Europe.
