Donald Fl. Scribner

Concerning Scribner and his rela-
tons to Senator Page, the Herald
properly says "Scribner is a man Of
good standing, fine personal character
and. has been in confidential relations
with Senator Page for a number Of
years.
Senator Page gladly admits that
Donald H. Scribner has for a great
many years occupied confidential
place with him. Congress adjourned
on the 4th day of March, 1911. Rich
admits that his employment ceased al
that time. Senator Page no longer
had need of a clerk in Washington
and he proceeded as was his right to
appoint a 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 Who'll
ly within his moral and legal rights in
doing this and he owes no apology
therefor to Arthur NJ. Rich, the Allen
M. Fletcher Senatorial club nor the
Rutland Herald. Casual reading of
the Bean letter shows what every Sen
atOr and Congressman knows to be
more or less common practice in
Washington. The whole story is one
calculated to blind the people, to
shake confidence in Senator Pages in
tegrity and to assassinate character.

UNITED STATES HONOR.
Hughes Criticism of Foreign Policy
Approved In West.
Portland (Ore) Telegram

IFOrCIanQ (Ore) IeleSrau.l
The Republican party has selected
a standard bearer whose utterances
from day to day justify the people
who chose him. Not only does he
bring before the country the short
cOmings of the Administration that
owes it's existence to a divided Re
publicanism, but his criticism is every
where constructive.
He tells what must be done and will
be done by the party he represents to
prevent Wastefulness and eXtrava gance
in the governmental expenditures and
to put stop to the vacillating policy
that has caused other nations to be-
1eve that the United States has no in
tention of backing up its demands
made in the interests of justice and
humanity.
Most vulnerable Of all points in the
Democratic armor is its foreign policy
Primarily this is because Of the spoils
system by which men trained in the
consular and diplomatic service
through long years, have been disp1ac-
ed to make room for politicians and
friends of politicians, whose sole claim
to preferment was their services to the
Democratic party.
IF 7 am elected president of the
United States" said Mr.. Hughes last
night, Il propose that every man I
put in charge of an important depart
ment shall be a man eminently fit to
discharge the duties Of that depart
ment"
The denuding Of the diplomatic serv-
ice Of men Of experience in order to
supply political jobs, as has been done
by Mr.. Wilson, or with his consent,
Mr.. Hughes denounces as "a capital
DEMONSTRATING in the good name of
the United States and damaging it's
honor" Nobody" he adds, "has a
right to pay political debts with the
good name and honor Of the United
States"
Which is clear proof that Mr.
Hughes has not been unmindful Of the
high principles Of government which
must be maintained in order that this
republic shall maintain its place as a
shining example to all nations.

eff you want me with you in Wash
ington during the coming session,
want to come, and will be willing t.
come at the same basis as during tn
last session.
But this is not all, for still anx-
ious to again enter Senator Page.
employ he wrote him on the date of
April %, 1911, five weeks later, as
follows:
''Have you got your committee as
signments so that you know how
much help you are going to want? If
So and you need me, I shall be ever
SO happy to come. You know I like
to work in Washington and like to
work for you"
It is inconceivable that Senator
Page should have agreed to pay Rich
$120 per month as he claims, and
that after paying him $50 per month
for such services as he rendered be-
tween January 1, 1910, and March 8,
1911, Rich should write Page as he
did March 10, 1911, asking that he be
permitted to come back sat the same
basis as during the last session.

Representative William Kent of Cali

Wilson and is heading a Wilson nom

NEWS FROM IR ASBURG


Sunday morning a goodly number
attended the Congregational church
when the theme of "Christ's Trans
forming Power" was presented by the
pastor, Rev. M. G. Upper. In the
evening there was union service at
this church and the Rev. c. w. Kelley,
pastor of the Methodist church, gave
the excellent address on the subject of
Excuses" There will be no services
at the Congregational church for two
weeks as the pastor will be taking his
vacation in most undesirable manner ::
the first week as principal witness,
with Mrs. Upper, to the accident at
North Rochester, N. H., where, two
years ago, six young people, who were
members of their Sunday school, were
Instantly killed by train, the trial of
which comes off next week at Dover,
N. H. The other following week will
be spent in assisting his sister by being
with her in hospital in Boston, where
she is to undergo an operation. Mr..
Upper has just received word ,indi-
rectly from Mr.. Chase, who chummed
with his brother, Carey, who was on
the second day of June killed in the
charge at Hooge. Mr.. Chase was in the
rear and with many other Canadian
boys. was captured, but while in the
Geman prison has written, stating that
Carey j. Upper, who fell in that
engagement, was killed instantly, and
died without an apparent struggle.
This much information has been the
source of much relief to know that
he did not suffer long and be trampled
over in that dark hour of suffering.
