For weeks information has been com
ing to Senator Page that there had been
prepared in the Office Of Williams &
Smith at Newport, political headquar'
tiers Of Allen NJ, Fletcher in Orleans
county,. an aflidavitt by former EN-
ployee of the Senator, Mr., Arthur NJ
Rich
Senator Page, in his political advertis'
ing last month made mention OF this
affidavit showing that it was part OF
well laid plan to discredit him-Page
and that it emanated from the same
Office as did the Lamoille County Saving;
Bank & Trust Co, attack

of falsehood, misrepresentation and in

had been exposed to the public Another

The Rutland Herald under date Of Sep
tCmber under Il five column front page
heading, gives the Rich affidavit and the
Herald's story, Someone has well said
that "a chain is no stronger than its
weakest link" and il this line Of reason
ing should be applied to this unique con
coction it loses all its force if it ever had
any.
1t is exceedingly fortunate In this cam
paign where the wrecking of character
seems to the chief business Of the Allen
NJ. Fletcher Club that Mr.. Rich's origina
letters and a copy of the replies thereto
have been preserved for no holder Oh
more deliberate attempt at character as
sassination was ever perpetrated upon
citizen of Vermont than this Rich aft
davit secured by the Rutland Herald
When Senator Page went to the Sen
ate in 1908 he found there VIM, s. Bean
who had been the Secretary Of both Red
field Proctor and John w. Stewart, Sen.
ator Page was then entitled to Secre'
tary and clerk and he appointed VIM. S
Bean.
Mr.. Bean was from Newport, Yer
mont, and living at that place was one
Arthur NJ. Rich. Mr.. Bean suggested
that Senator Page secure Rich's services
as stenographer ard that he also bring
from his home Office at Hyde Park an
other stenographer, assuring the Senator
that he could handle his work better in
that way and that these two stenogra'
pliers would gladly work for the allow
ance made for clerk or messenger
Without further Introductory remarks
there is presented herewith the letter
press copy of William S. Beams letter
which tells story, not written in the
stress of political campaign, not writ
ten when it was ever expected that there
would be need of its publicity. Even
without comment Senator Page feels
that he could leave the letter of William
S. Bean alongside the affidavit Of Arthur
NJ. Rich with fullest assurance that the
reasoning judgment of his people would
condemn the affidavit.

So much for the affidavit. Carefully, cunningly
and shrewdly concocted to misrepresent but wholly
false in substance in the light of his friends Beans)
letter. it is clearly twelfth hour struggle of the Allen
M Fletcher Club to discredit Senator Page because
a multi millionaire wants his place.

DONALD HI. SCRIBNER

Concerning Scribner and his relations
to Senator Page, the Herald properly
says "Scribner is a man of good stand
ing, fine personal character and has been
in confidential relations with Senator
Page for number of years"
Senator Page gladly admits that Dom
aid II, Scribner has for great many
years occupied a confidential place with
him, Congress adjourned on the 4th day
of March, 1911. Rich admits that his
employment ceased at that time. Sena-
tor Page no longer had need of clerk
in Washington and he proceeded as was
his right to appoint clerk who could be
with him at Hyde Park, his home, and
give such attention to his duties as the
Senator might require, He was wholly
within his moral and legal right in doing
this and he owes no apology therefor to
Arthur NJ. Rich, the Allen NJ. Fletcher
Senatorial Club or the Rutland Herald.
Casual reading of the Bean letter
shows what every Senator and Congress-
man knows to be a more or less common
practice in Washington. The whole
story is one calculated to blind the peo-
pie, to shake confidence in Senator
Pages integrity and to assassinate char
acter.
In the alleged interview of Rich, the
Herald makes Rich say that ITO the
best of his (Rich's) knowledge aud belief
this money was appropriated by Senator
Page and not applied to any other pur-
pose,' This is deliberate falsehood as
is clearly shown in the Bean letter. The
Herald makes Rich say that che never
had any correspondence with anyone re.
garding the division of the pay" In the
light of the Bean letter this is of course
another deliberate falsehood.
The Herald makes Rich say 81 went to
Washington in good faith expecting to
receive the full pay; in view of the
Bean letter and IN view of Richs own
letters of March ID, and April 90, above
given, this must be characterized as de-
liberate falsehood, either by the Herald's
correspondent or by Mr.. Rich.
The Herald quotes Mr.. Rich as saying
when l was summoned to Senator
Pages office and told to give up half of
my salary to Miss Seymour, | could
hardly believe my ears That such an
incident ever took place, in view of the
Bean letter, is utterly uncomfortable.

Throwing Away a Fortune.

Tin is very valuable metal. 1t was
worth in solid pigs of one picul each
IA picul is an oriental standard OF
weight equal in most places to 133
lbs.), about 40 cents per pound, in
New York last week. That is the price
in large lots. The present war has
rot affected the price. The weight
of an empty tube o. soft tin, the 25c
tooth paste or soap size, is 7-S ounce.
Most of these are thrown away. Let
the children all over the country get
together and make a systematic effort
to collect these tubes Also all tin
fell used about gum and tobacco.
A good sum can be realized from
the sale. The press Of this country
will give the movement the Necessary
publicity. Let's see what can be done
right here in Newberry.
The drugstores here say they sell
about 800 tubes in all month.
This means 16 pounds of tin tubes
per month, worth s6.4O or $3.50 a
year if it was all saved. The greater
part can be saved and sold for at least
40 cents per pound, and the money
U.S.! to relieve ite wants of the SEX
and the poor.

ed about 125 tons of pure tin in the
world, valued at about one hundred
million dollars annually.
The writer does not know whether
the tubes are pure tin or an alloy but
believes they are pure. Here is in
deed perfectly sane and easy method
o. getting money. Won't some of the
various women's societies here take
it up?

Gut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down? BY the real money-saving
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
