WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
PAGE'S WASHINGTON CLERKS
The Monitor's editorial under the
above caption last week drew fire from
Senator Page's headquarters. Their
reply is virtually what appears on page
eight of this issue in the Page adver
tising, to which the reader is referred.
The Rich affidavit, not before pub
lished in the Monitor, is found on this
page in the Fletcher advertisement, to
which the reader is also referred.
The Monitor wired Page , headquar
ters. "The Monitor's chief contention
is that the Senator ha3 made it a
custom to receive from his Washington
clerks a portion of the salary paid
them by the federal government. Does
he deny it?"
On the wire Tuesday Page headquar
ters would not deny this contention but
did deny that any portion of the salary
of any clerk ever went to Senator
Page's personal benefit.
The Bean letter itself proves the
contention. Rich did not get the
salary allowed for his position by the
government, Nor did he receive the
$17.50 per week Bean said in the
letter would be the minimum Rich was
to receive.
In testimony of Rich's good name
the following, signed by a number of
most prominent business and profes
sional men. known throughout Orleans
county, speaks volumes.
"We, the undersigned, residents of
Newport in the county of Orleans, say
that we knew Arthur M. Rich while he
lived in Newport and that the young
man's reputation for veracity and hon
esty in our judgment cannot be ques
tioned." (Signed) E. Lane, E. C. Blanchard,
F. R. Sherman, Frank D. Flint, H. S.
Root, Geo. N. Root, C. S. Emery, D.
N. Dwinell, H. B. Cushman.
As between the Rich affidavit and
the copy of a dead man's letter every
man must decide for himself.
But putting aside the entire Rich-Bean-Page
affair, the Monitor cited
another case to the Page headquarters
and was told the Senator would be
asked about it and the Monitor would
be informed. The Monitor has not
heard from Page headquarters.
Page stands convicted for some
cause or another of not allowing his
clerks in many instances to retain the
full salary allowed for their position.
It is not criminal but a sordid practice.
Both Charges False.
The unwarranted charge that Gover
nor Gates, in calling the special legis
lative session, was seeking to push his
senatorial canvass originated and was
pressed from the Fletcher quarter.
This fact ought to dispose of the claim,
frequently made on the Page side, that
Gates is running simply to help Fletch
er. Randolph Herald and News.
Aligned with the Stand Patters.
The Northfield News makes the
remarkable statement that it is back
of the Montpelier Invisible Govern
ment crowd, and winds up by support
ing Senator Page. The News may not
know it but it has by that simple
statement shown the "line-up'' of the
politicians against the candidacy of
ex-Governor Fletcher for the United
States senate. This situation has been
known right along but none of the
Page supporters have had the "nerve"
to acknowledge it before. Senator
Page had a fine' chance to receive
strong support from the substantial
and independent class of voters but his
alignment with the Montpelier State
House crowd, as the News states, will
cost him thouands of votes. Burling

Let the Sunshine In.
Draw up the shades and let the sun
shine in.
Sunlight is the tonic of life, bringing
cleanliness, health, happiness and opti-
mis.-n with it. The window shade is
its enemy.
If you keep down your window
shades you harm only yourself and
your family. You restrain the best
disinfectant from killing the germs
that accumulate in your home. Germs
live and thrive in darkness.
You draw your shades to keep the
carpets and draperies from fading.
But while you do that, the cheeks of
your children facie, instead. Better to
have faded rugs than faded children.
Beyond the physical effect from the
sun is the mental. You feel light,
joyous, good natured and optimistic
while the sun shines. And who wants
to be gloomy, grouchy, these days?
Let the sunshine into your home,
into your body and all the world will
be a blaze of glory to you. Then you
will like living, and in spite of all the
adversities you may meet, you will
keep on viewing life from the joyous
side. Burlington News.

The state board of health has ordered
that all children under 15 years of age

Gates and other prominent men.
There will be no Valley fair at
Brattleboro this year. This was decid
ed Saturday -at a conference of the
directors of the Valley Fair associa

officer of the Brattleboro board of
health, at which Dr. Tucker ordered
that the fair this year be given up.
This was done as a precautionary
measure against infantile paralysis.

The History of Arthur Rich's Connection
with Senator Page
The Rutland Herald, on Monday, Sept. 4, published the following
affidavit, made by Arthur M. Rich now of Boston, Mass., formerly of
Newport, Vt. This affidavit contains the plain simple story of Arthur
M. Rich, former clerk for Senator Carroll S. Page, listed in the con
gressional directories of 1910 as Senate messenger.
The affidavit sets forth a straightforward story of Rich's employ
ment by William S. Bean, clerk of the Senate Committee on Standards,
Weights and Measures, of which Senator Page was then chairman, at a
salary of $120 a month, $60 a month of which he was required to turn
over to Senator Page, through the Senator's private stenographer, Miss
beymour. (Mr. 13 ean has since died).
According to the best of Rich's knowledge and belief, this money
was appropriated by Senator Page and not applied to .any other pur
pose. Rich also swears that the checks sent him in Vermont were
turned over to Senator Page in full, and that as a result of working on
half pay in Washington and without compensation in the summer he
was obliged to seek other employment.
To The Herald representative, this young man stated that he was
never discharged by Senator Page, that he never had any correspond
ence with Prof. Stannard or any one else regarding the 6owhich he
was obliged to surrender and that he never owed the Senator any mon
ey which would justify him in holding back part of his compensation.
Rich also swears that Donald H. Scribner. assistant manager of
Senator Page's calfskin and poultry business in Hyde Park and who
married the Senator's niece, was never in Washington, so far as he
knows, except for a short visit, yet Scribner appears in the directories
of 1911 and 1912 as clerk of the Committee on Cuban Relations, of
which his wife's uncle was chairman. (Tnis is verified in part by
Robert H. Norton, former clerk for Senator Page and by the towns-

The early fair is handicapped in many
ways but this year the early fails
escaped the infantile paralysis scare.
The railroad strike was barely avert
ed and a great national catastrophe
avoided. That legislation is necessary
to regulate such vital problems as a
national railroad strike is not a pleas
ant commentary on tne manner in
which combinations of capital and
combinations of labor look upon their
power with its relation to the people.
buch events only point the way to
more and more power by the govern
ment and a resultant less free people.

The St. Albans Messenger is
only newspaper in the state that
the
has
put any life into the Page senatorial
campaign. The Messenger has devoted
most of its leading editorials, about
half of its editorial paragraphs and
some seven-tenths of its editorial
space for the past ten days to slam
ming Fletcher, with an occasional
boost fcr Page. But the peculiar
thing about this whole campaign is the
fact that neither Fletcher nor Page
devote much space to booming them
selves. It's mostly knocking the other
fellow.
The Man for Lieutenant Governor.
The smoke of the senatorship fight is
beclouding all other contests. It should
be remembered that there are two
candidates for lieutenant governor. In
stating that John E. Weeks is worthy
of the place it is a pleasure to repro
duce a characteristic sketch of the
man from the late John E. Harris, an
early editor of this paper.
It is not supposable that omnipotence
ever made a mistake, but if the Eter
nal Architect ever had such a moment
ary lapse it was when he designed
John Weeks and located a large and
energetic soul in perhaps too frail a
body. His immense voltage is fre
quently a case of a powerful motor
racking too light a trame, but tne
latter has thus far fairly well with
stood the strain. He was born in the
thriving and substantial town of Salis
bury, June 14, 1854, located in Middle
bury in 1896, and is now and always
has been a large and successful farmer.
His school education was finished at
Middlebury high school, and since then
he has been taking a continuous course
in the great school of life and with
results which have been splendidly
vindicated in his public career. This
latter includes service in the house in
1888 and in the senate in 1896, in the
house again in 1912 and in his repre
sentation of his town again tbis year
when he was elected to the position of
speaker. From 1892 to 1894 he was
a'.so associate judge of his county
court, and was state cattle commis
sioner in 1906. It is no disaparagement
of his excellent services in the above
capacities, however, to say that his
larger and more pleasing title to the
consideration and regard of the state
has come from his service on the state's
penal boards. In 1898 he was ap
pointed to membership in the board of
trustees of the state industrial school
at Vergennes, and has been chairman
of the state board of penal institutions
since 1906. It is in this latter capacity,
offering such limitless opportunities
for service of the most valuable and
far-reaching nature, that he has well
won a name and fame extending far
beyond the borders of Vermont.
ine iiooa kook allows that a
prophet is not without honor, save in
his own country," but this is not true
of Mr. Weeks. For some time Ver
montera were slow to realize the
magnitude and immense benefit of the
work he was certainly accomplishing
m the line of prison reform, but they
fully realize it now and have constantly
increasing respect and esteem for the
unostentatious and qaiet mannered man
who has accomplished so much to put
Vermont in first place on the map in
penal uplift work. Judge Weeks is
distinctively a man of large executive
capacity, a genius in the sense of his
qualification for painstaking and infi
nite detail in his work, with admini3
tratie and constructive ability plus.
The innate kindliness and humanitari
anisrn of the man, coupled with the
above talente, commands the very best
results in dealing with these great
questi)s affecting nurnan brotherhood.
and along these lines the world has
indeed a most efficient benefactor in
John E. Weeks. Long may he be
spared to serve Vermont in any capac
ity where his valuable qualifications
may Le most useful. The Advance.

Waterbury asylum, having been found
not guilty by reason of insanity. A

The 300 Vermont National Guards
men who lett the state mobilization
camp near Fort Ethan Allen Aug 31st
to join the regiment of troops at Eagle
Pass, Texas, returned to Camp Gates
Thursday, having abandoned the trip
because of orders from the war depart

roads could not guarantee their arrival
at the border before the time set for
the railroad strike. The troops had
reached Brattleboro, when orders came
to return to camD.

Brattleboro was disposed of Thursday,
closing a successful two days' sale.
Sixty-four head were sold Thursday

of $177 each. The total for the two
days was $20,225, an average of $163
each. Better prices ruled the second day
Morris B. Carpenter of Phoenix,
Arizona, was the largest purchaser,
paying $2,650, and the next heaviest
purchaser was F. H. Metcalf of Holy

a cow seven years old, within $5 of as
much as he paid for a heifer the first

received $4,470 gross.
A tuo of celebrities is about to
descend upon the good green hills of
Vermont. None other than Thomas
Edison, Henry Ford and John Bur
roughs are to take a joint vacation.
They will fish first in the Adiron-
dacks and Catskills and then invade
Vermont. No guns will be taken be
cause the party are bird lovers and
partly because Mr. Ford is along,
Hdison win not even take his razor, so
pacific is his expedition. The trio will
travel in a touring car and their sup
plies will follow them in a high-speed
motor truck. They plan to dodge the
city folks and will stick to backwoods
reads most of the time. They are
going to camp out as they did when
thev were boys and either Burroughs
or Edison will do the cooking. Edison
says that he wants to do the cooking
but doesn't think Burroughs will let
him. The campers will take five tents
and each will have his own quarters.
Four men will go a3 attendants, to
pitch camp and rustle supplies, which
will be bought from farmers along the
route.
"When I was summoned into Senator
give up half of my salary to Miss Seymour I could hardly believe my
ears," said young Rich. "I understood that Miss Seymour was
Senator Page's confidential stenographer and devoted practically all her
time to his calfskin aud poultry food business in Hyde Park which he
directed largely from Washington, Senator Page, in response to my
protest, merely turned his back and continued his work. He has a way
of making it impossible to continue a conversation a way that proved
very effective in my case."

SETTS Suffolk, ss.
Boston, August 17, 1916.
Then personally appeared before me,
the undersigned, Frederic A. Crafts, a
notary public within and for the county
and commonwealth aforesaid, Arthur
M. Rich, who deposes and says :
That he lived in the State of Ver
mont from the time he was eleven
years old, except for a few months
when he was in Washington, D. C,
until about two years ago when he
came to Massachusetts ; that he gradu
ated from St. Johnsbury academy, St.
Johnsbury, Vermont; that he went to
work in a law office at Newport, Ver
mont, and continued to work in law
offices for a number of years : that he
was very anxious to study law and
become a lawyer ; that he was unable
to go to college or worK nis way
through a professional school because
of lack of funds and because he had a
dependent mother; that William S.
Bean of said Newport, who was clerk
of the committee on Standards,
Weights and Measures, of which Sena
tor C. S. Page of Vermont was chair
man, informed him that Senator Page
at that time had another appointment
on said committee, that this would be
an opportunity for said Rich to work
and earn a living and at the same time
attend a law school nights in Washing
ton, D. C. ; that the salary paid was
$125 a month ; that at this time said
Bean informed him that Senator Page
would like to see hira at Hyde Park,
Vermont; that he immediately went to
Hyde Park and told Senator Page of
his ambitions; that Senator Page told
him that Mr. Bean was his secretary
and also clerk of the committee on
Standards, Weights and Measures, and
that he had one more 'appointment on
said committee, that of assistant clerk
or messenger, and promised him the
position; that Senator Page told him to
report for work in Washington, D. C,
on January 1, 1910, which he did ; that
he was enrolled and placed on the pay
roll at the senate disbursing office as
assistant clerk or messenger of the
committee on Standards, Weights and
Measures, the salary being $120 a
month, payable twice a month when
the senate was in session, and once a
month when not in session ; that the
first time he was 10 receive his pay,
the committee clerk, Bean, told him to
get his pay at the senate disbursing
office and to take the money to Senator
Page; that he received that day $60,
being two weeks' pay, for which he
receipted as said assistant clerk or
messenger : that Senator Page then
told him, for the first time, that he
was to receive only one-half of said
salary ; that from that time on he only
received one-half of said salary, or $60
a month, the other half going to Sena
tor Page; that he remonstrated with
Senator Page, but found that it was
useless and that he would have to
take that amount or go home, and he
therefore gave up all hopes of law
school; that he found that he was
obliged to pay $30 a month for a small
room and two meals a day, that his
lunches at the United States Capitol,
where he was obliged to eat at noon,
cost him approximately $12 a month,
leaving $18 a month to pay for laundry,
car fares, clothes and incidentals; that
when he went down there he had to
pay his carfare and also upon his
return; that the latter part of May,
1911, Senator Page informed him that
he would have no further work for him
during the summer, that it was ex
pected the session of Congress would
close very shortly, but that he expect
ed to see him again in December; that
said Rich having received an opportu
nity to work during the summer for the
Vermont public service commission,
went home the very last of May; that
Senator Page's refusal at this time
was not because he could not give him
work in the "hide business," but that
there was nothing to do during the
summer in his position as assistant
clerk or messenger, that before he left
Washington, Mr. Bean had him sign
a transfer of his salary to one Donald
H. Scribner, of Hyde Park, Vermont,
so that no checks would come to him
during the vacation period ; that in the
fall, Senator Page having been non
committal about Mr. Rich's returning
to Washington, Mr. Rich finally forced
an answer from Senator Page and
learned that he could return to Wash
ington upon the same terms as at the
previous session ; that he went to Wash
ington a second time in the winter of 1
1911, still hoping that Senator Page I
wouia give nim mis position, ana was
again placed upon the senate pay roll
as assistant clerk or messenger of said
committee; that at the end of the 61st
Congress it was learned that there was
to be a special session of congress ;
that Senator Page informed him that
he would not require his services dur
ing the special session of congress ;
that said Rich returned to Vermont on
the 4th of March, 1911, that soon after
his return he received a check from
the senate disbursing office for $120,
being one month's ealary; that Senator
Page ordered him by letter to send the
check to him, which said Rich finally
did; that about a month later he
received a check for $240, from the
senate disbursing office, being another
month's salary and an extra month's
salary voted by the senate at the end
of the session, which check was sent to
Senator Page after repeated requests;
that Senator Page informed him, in
substance, that said Donald H. Scrib
ner had been appointed to succeed him
as said assistant clerk or messenger ;
that at the time he returned the last
check he signed and executed a second
order transferring said salary to said
Scribner, at Senator Page's request;
that notwithstanding his repeated re
quests that he be allotted the salary
allowed by the United States govern
ment for that position, which would
enable him to earn a living in Wash
ington and attend law school, Senator
Page never in any way recognized his
demands.
Said Rich further deposes and says
that during the time that he was em
ployed as said assistant clerk or mes
senger of said committee inWashington,
approximately nine-tenths of the work
done by him concerned Senator Page's
private business at Hyde Park. Ver
mont, and not his work as United
States senator.
Said Rich further deposes and says
that on page 199 of the Congressional
directory of the 62d Congress, second
session, beginning December 4th, 1911.,
Donald H. Scribner is given as clerk
of the committee on Cuban Relations,
of which Senator Page was then chair
man; that said Donald H. Scribner
was, to the best of his knowledge and
belief, never employed in Washington
for said senate committee, and was
only there, to the best of his knowledge
and belief, once with his wife, who is
Senator Page's niece, for a week's
visit.
