Bellefonte, Pa., November 4, 1910. Berry's Duplicity is Proved. Citizens Who Heard Pledged to Support Grim Swears to Fact William H. Berry will never be gov- ernor of Pennsylvania, but can easily prove a claim to be the champion pre- varicator in the public life of the coun- try. Mr. Berry never hesitates in mak- ing a statement on account of the fact that it is not true. If it suits his pur pose and he thinks he can fool the people, he lets it go anyway. After the nomination of Webster Grim for governor by the Allentown %onvention Mr. Berry met his recent antagonist in the corridor of the Hotel Allen, congratulated him upon his nomination and pledged his support for election. His convention manager, Bugene C. Bonniwell, had previously moved to make the nomination unani- mous, and the hopeful Democrats were in a happy frame of mind with this assurance of harmony. But it didn’t last long. That incur- able microbe of ambition soon got to work in Berry's system and he began working for a nomination on an inde- pendent ticket of some sore, it didn’t make much difference to him what kind. Then he publicly denied that he had promised to vote for Grim, though balf a dozen reputable men heard him do so. Among them was 8. Miley Miller, of Gettysburg, chairman of the Demo- cratic county committee of Adams county, who stood within a few feet of Berry and Grim when they met. Mr, Berry sald: “lI congratulate you on your nomination and will do all for your election I can.” This statement of fact is supported by the following af- fidavit made by Mr. Miller: “Adams County, Pa., Gettysburg, ss. “Before me personally came 8. Miley Miller, who, after being duly sworn, according to law, deposeth and says: That he is a resident of Gettysburg, Adams county, and chairman of the Democratic county committee of Adams county, which position he has held for the last six years in succes- sion. That 1 was present at the Allen- town convention, and am personally acquainted with Hon. Webster Grim and Hon. W. H. Berry. That after the convention adjourned I was in the ro- tunda of the Allen House, standing close to Senator Grim. Mr. Berry ap- proached Mr. Grim, took his hand, con- gratulated him on his nomination and assured him of his support at the elec- tion and made use of the following language substantially: ‘Mr. Grim or Senator Grim, I congratulate you on your nomination and will do all for your election I can.’ “Further deponent sayeth not. “Sworn and subscribed before me, this the 26th day of October, 1910. “JACOB A. APLER, “Recorder of Deeds.” (8eal.) Mr, Berry is equally careless of his reputation for veracity in accounting for the money he borrowed on bogus security from Colonel J. M. Guffey. He has given several stories in relation to that matter, each differing widely from the other. At first he said he used the money to finance the capitol graft investigation. Now as a matter of fact, he didn't spend any money on the capitol graft investigation, but when chided for tardiness in pressing the investigation, complained that he had no funds available for that pur pose and that the Republican auditor general and governor would not ap- propriate any. Thereupon two gentlemen of ample means, residents of Harrisburg, of- fered him all the money needed for the purpose on the chance that the legislature would reimburse them, but he never called for the money. Other reasons that he has given for borrow- ing from Colonel Guffey are equally false. Among them was a statement that he used the amount to guard his person from threatened attacks of emissaries of the Republican machine who had been employed to murder him. It would be impossible to con- ceive of anything more absurd than this. The truth is that he borrowed the money to invest in an enterprise which turned out badly, as anyone with a modicum of judgment could have told him in advance it would. In Pottsville, the other day, Mr. Berry said that Colonel Guffey was amply secured for the loan. He was ge- cured by shares in the Berry Engi- neering company, which is now in the hands of a receiver and probably not worth a penny on the dollar. At any rate the amount of it which Berry had assured Guffey was ample security for $15,000, was sold by the bank which held it for $700, notwithstanding the fact that on the morning of the sale Mr. Berry publicly announced that it would be redeemed within two weeks. That was eight weeks ago, and it has not been redeemed yet. These are only a few of the falsehoods which Berry has put into circulation the opening of his campaign of fa pretense.

Strikes Everything and Adds Vastly te Expenses of the Household. The bride and bridegroom uext door are beginning to keep house. They nave been shopping for the outfit for the kitchen. And the Payne tariff tax taw schedules cover all phases of such an event, writes Charles Johnson Post :n the New York World. The stove is tariff taxed 45 per cent. The frying pan 40 per cent, the saucepan 40 per cent, the pudding tins 40 per cent, the kettle 40 per cent, the coffeepot 40 per cent, the baking pans 40 per cent, the colander 40 per cent, the flour sifter 40 per cent, the iron spoons 40 per cent, the griddle 40 per cent, and the egg beater 40 per sent. They like waffles, so the waffle irons are taxed 40 per cent also. Then there are pails—wooden pails tariff taxed 35 per cent, and a fibre pail also 35 per cent. There must be a garbage pail of tin, tariff taxed 1% cents a pound. The kitchen knives and forks are cheap, serviceable affairs and are tariff taxed from a penny apiece and 15 per cent additional on up. But the tarift tax law provides that they must never pay less than a duty of 40 per cent. The bread and cake box is tariff taxed 45 per cent. The flour box 45 per cent, and likewise 46 per cent on the little boxes that hold the spices and the little things of the kitchen. The chopping bowl is tariff taxed 26 per cent and in addition one-third of a penny. The earthenware bowls are taxed B65 per rent. A lamp chimney 60 per cent. The refrigerator is tariff taxed 35 per cent and the hamper 50 per cent. The ironing board is protected by a 35 per cent tariff, the irons by a tax of eight-tenths of a penny a pound and the zinc sheet for the kitchen table 1% of a penny a pound. An earthen teapot is tariff taxed 60 per cent. The dish towels not less than 80 per cent, probably more, but the law says they must not be less. The skewers for the roasting meats one cent for twenty-five skewers. Nothing is too small for the tariff tax. ers to overlqok. An earthen pipkin is tariff taxed 56 per cent, the same rate as for the casserole dishes that figure in the more elaborate kitchens. The kitchen mop is tariff taxed 35 per cent, with a separate tax for the handle and attachment, The washboard is tariff taxed 35 per cent and the kitchen chairs also 86 per cent. The oilcloth on the floor is tariff taxed 6 cents a square yard and in ad- dition 15 per cent. And the kitchen apron that the young bride puts on to manipulate all of the above is tariff taxed 35 per cent. Berry May Be Useful Atter All, [From the Philadelphia Record.} Although Mr. Berry has no chance whatever of being clected, there is a possibility that he may be useful to the cause of political reform. If it be true that Mr. Blankenburg's com- mittee is getting replies to its inquir- jes mainly favorable to Mr. Berry it means simply that mostly Republicans are replying. There is no indication that many Democrats prefer Mr. Berry to Senator Grim: there is no reason, either of principle or expediency, why they should. The probability is that most of them are not paying any at- tention to inquiries whether they pre fer Mr. Berry or the senator. Of course, no self-respecting Repub- lican, even if a thorough-going parti- san, can vote for Mr. Tener after all the disclosures. He was a nonenity to begin with, and he has been shown to be something a good deal more dif- ficult than that to elect. And yet a great many Republicans cannot quite bring themselves to vote a regular Democratic party ticket. There must be a considerable class of these Re- publicans who have too much princi- ple to vote for Tener and too much partisanship to vote for Grim. A third party ticket would come in very com: veniently for them. We strongly advise every one who wishes to heat the Penrose machine to vote for Grim. That is the only | straightforward and sure way of ac- complishing the political reform this state needs. But we do not believe any considerable proportion of the Democrats will vote for Berry, while | it is not impossible that enough Re-! publicans will vote for him to cut! deeply into the vote counted on by the | Republican managers for Tener. In| that case Berry's candidacy might di | vide the Republican vote and give the | election to Grim. i There is no reason in the world why ' every opponent of Senator Penrose’s | pdlitical management should not vote | for Mr. Grim. Good government in | this state demands the maintenance of | a minority party which may easily be- come a majority party, and this can never be the case with the elements of a third party movement. But it is increasingly probable that Berry's vote will be drawn almost wholly the Republican side, in which case will inadvertently serve the cause of good government as represented by Senator Grim. | A Threatening Comet.
