POLITICAL ADVERTISING.

Bank Commissioner Williams made
his attack upon Senator Page more than
month ago. Senator Page at once re-
piled, denying the substance of the
charges made and declaring emphatical-
ly that he never advertised his Lamoille
County Bank falsely. He challenged
Williams or anyone else to name a
date or occasion when he advertised
that the Bank had ''all Vermont as
set" when it was not true.
Up to now, the very last days of the
campaign, Commissioner Williams has
not accepted the challenge. If he has
any proof of such false advertising he
could produce it. 1t must be that he
has none. The only reply, attempted to
Senator Pages charges is that in The
Brattleboro Reformer in its issue of
Aug. 2Sth. 1t quotes an advertisement
in The Vermont Phoenix of Dee. q,
1906, and complains that because in
that advertisement Senator Page used
the words ssThe Lamoille County Saw
ings Bank and did not add the words
land Trust Company which is part
of the legal title of the Bank, he is
guilty of falsifying.
\
| But The Reformer is not fair in its
! quotation from the advertisement in
The Phoenix of Dec. 21, 1906. Page 5
of The Phoenix of that date contains
the advertisement. The very first SEN
tence of the advertisement is s.The La
moille County Savings Bank and Trust
| Company of Hyde Park, Vermont, calls
| the attention of depositors. ETC.. = The
| Reformer quotes the Secoud parapranh
| of the ad. where the words aand Trust
Company are omitted 1t does not
tell the whole truth. Senator Page in
/ his advertisement gave the full title to
his Bank, yet The Reformer of Monday
of last week says that the advertise.
ment was misleading "in its reference
to the Hyde Park Institution as a
Savings Bank. . We ask The Reform
! er to correct this editorial statement.
But there could not be the slightest
deception to any interested party in
any of Senator Pages bank advertis
ing. When anybody made deposit in

his bank he received a bank book for
it, showing the exact name Of the bank.
If he was not satisfied with it all he
had to do was to write the Bank and
get his money back. No depositor ever
lost dollar. Nobody has ever run any
risk. Nobody claims that.
Senator Page was first candidate for
United States Senator at the session
of. the Legislature of 1908 to succeed
Senator Proctor. The advertisement
which The Reformer quotes as false
was more than two years old then. Ad-
vertising of the same character had
been used frequently. Everybody in
the state was familiar with it. If
there was anything about it which re,
fiected on Senator Page s character il
was known in 1908, yet The Reformer
that year was saying kindly things OF
Page and never word of criticism OF
his advertising.
On Dec. 21, 1906, The Refermer, then
owned and edited by the same people
who control it now, published the same
advertisement as was published in The
Phoenix of December 21st. Yet two
years later it was speaking not word

That Social Nightmare.

In his protest against the social dis
sipation of high school students, we
wish Professor Young had gone farther
and slammed the ntemperance Of
mothers circles and women's clubs
whose indulgence in coffee and cake
at all hours of the night and day is
the worst example set before children
for the impairment of the physical
body. This abominable habit in
churches and clubs of eating and
drinking every time they meet is get
ting to be the white woman's burden,
and we are waiting for some nervy
leader to rise up in her might and
power and say, This thing shall no
longer be tolerated" It is not the
mental activity that is frazzling out
our club women as much as these ad-
iuncts of dissipation and the economic
phase of the question Is equally sinful.
If women would reach in their pockets
and freely contribute to their cause
all the money they drink up in coffee
and cake, there would be little need to
solicit funds from outside sources.
