Are Growing Desperate. The leaders and organs of the fusion candidates in this state and particu larly in this district and county, are growing desperate, remarks the edi tor of the Washington Observer. They pee defeat staring them in the face. They see the sentiment growing stronger daily for the Republican ticket and the Republican principles. They are using desperate tactics in a desperate cause. Falsehoods and niis- j representations are following each other In quick succession. Their me thods of attack are despicable ami have turned many who were formerly In sympathy with them to the sup port of the Republican ticket. The/Re publican party and its candidates are conducting a clean, decent cainp ign. They are making votes. The ss is are clearly presented and the people are beginning to see most clearly the motives which characterize the at tacks on decent men —because they are Republicans. The refusal of many of the Democrats to swallow the hy brid ticket in the district and in th • county is also making the leaders <l< s j parate. and like Hearst, of New York. they are beginning to call men of th' ir ' own party vile names. Keep il it t > Cie better it will be for the Ri publican party. It makes votes —because it dis- ; gusts honest and decent voters Muat Be Harmony For Results. We submit that the Republican Gov ernor with a Republican legislature can produce more substantive legi.sla tion than a fusion governor with the same legislature, says the editor of ! the Tltusville Herald. Excellence in the administration of state affairs de mands harmony, which can exi.-.t only through the election of Edwin S. j Stuart to the Governor's chair. There can be shown no reason why a single Republican should desert his ! party this fall to follow Lewis Em- i ! eiv. Jr., who was never a Republican uuless to satisfy his own selfish sell centered ambitions. A Manly Statement. Governor Fenny packer's frank and manly statement in regard to the ex- , petiditures for the state capitol 1; <o:i vlnclng enour v i in itself to all (.ami'd citizens, that not a single dollar has j b«en wasted or misapptopiated, say. | the editor of the Oil City Derrick. But i Mr. Stuart, who is in no way con nected with the building of the struc ture, has promised to take th.; ques tion up and will give it full investiga tion. In his speech at Greenville ha added the following plank to tiie Re publican party platform: "If elected Governor, I promise you. fully realizing the responsibility rest ing upon me. that 1 will see that a thorough Investigation shall be made of the entire question, and if su h investigation discloses that any man or set of men have been guilty I wrong-doing in the abuse of their trust, or guilty of fraud or illegal profit in the furnishing of supplies, they shaM meet with the punishment they sun - ly, under such circumstances, would justly deserve." This should be fully satisfactory to those who have been disposed to ques tion the action of the building com mittee in expending such immense sums in furnishing and decorating the capitol. But it is clear the mem bers did no? exceed their powers, and that they were acting in strict accord with the law. Ten years hence, when the fame of this magnificent building becomes more general and the work of these men becomes bettor recognized, What they did for the prop! ■ in giving hem a capitol, worthy the honor and lignit.v of the state, will be pointed n.t ua th» proudest a<-.-i :i ; of their lives.

Andrews, chair man of the Republican State Commit tee. has planned a whirlwind finish for the Republican state campaign. After several conferences with Chair man J. S.

If It was manipulated with the absolute faith that was required in all those occult enchantments of the middle ages. As time went on, the "rod of Jacob," as a branch of hazel was universally known, gathered new powers. Not only would it lead to the discovery of buried hoards, but it would also act ns an infallible agent in locating run away servants and escaped criminals. It was a sure guide to underground springs as well, and was an unfailing charm against the lightning. <Hrloun French Market.

BORROWS OF STATE DEPOSITORY Startling Revelation of Tactics Worse Than Those Which This "Good Man" So Long Condemned In Others. William 11. Berry, state treasurer, professional reformer, has been caught "with the goods on him. He has been found to be engaged in borrowing money from a depository of state funds for a private enterprise in which he is heavily interested. He had tn admit this fact, '„ut in trying to ex plain why he did it and how he did it, he lied, deliberately li >d. anil ho was caught lying and the facts were prov en against his misrepresentation by the records of Delaware county. Mr. Berry, who is a sanctimonious, "holier than thou individual," who has been making all sorts of charges against Republican officials and who is now on the stump for Emery and his, colleagues on the Democratic State | ticket, has been shown to be as prac-: tical as the most practical of the pro fessional politicians and he is, in the I vernacular 01 the machine politician, I "out for the stuff." Berry is a member of the state board j which designates the depositories of state funds and besides has in his power the l ight to draw from or add to any deposit in any banking institution which carries a deposit of state funds. When Mr. Berry went into office as state treasurer, the Harrisburg Trust company carried a state deposit of about $200,000. Since Berry has been treasurer this sum has been jumped to over 5(500.000. Berry at first applied to a Baltimore Surety company togo on his official bond, but he discovered that it would cost him at>out ¥'-500 a year for a bond which would have eaten up a good portion of his salary. About this time negotiations were opened with the Harrisburg Trust company, wlii< h fin ally went on Berry's bond for $500,000 for a mere "nominal sum.** Good Thing Tor Trust Company. The trust conip:«nv ( « not ; ar to have lost anything by iaat opera tion. Its deposits of stater ids have grown to great pr«»i-»rti« * . ami it his been honored V> Ihe ta; • tr= a arer in the capai ;!> of a c; • omer ; s the loan department The Fi hi Prick < :::pany, of Ches ter. is a con i in in which Slate Treas urer Berry i heavily interested.

SAMUEL j I FOR CONGRESS | IS A VOTE IN SUPPORT OF THE % 1 ROOSEVELT ADMINISTRATION. % FOR AN HONEST, IMPARTIAL UDGE NOT A POLITICIAN VOTE FOR Charles C. Evans «i or u» in.- corporation. Mr. Berry makes these admissions "The Field boys hail a brick yard in Chester, and were hard pressed for money. 1 agreed to take hold of the thing and put up $14,000 in cash against their property, and we formed a corporation with $50,000 I taking 50 per cent, of the stock. "I found Avhon I came to look the plant over that a railroad siding was necessary. To tiet this tiding putin it wsis necessary to buy a lot of land. I did not feel like investing in any more stock, but 1 was willing to buy some bonds. Others were willing to take bonds. So the $50,000 corporate mortgage' wis eyecuted to the Harris burg Trust Company as trustee of tho bonds." "How did you come to select the Harrisburg Trust Company in the transaction?" "Well, that seems, to me the only thing in this transaction that may seem peculiar. The fact is that I didn't want it to le >l< that I was after land. That i-> the only reason I did not goto a Chester trust company. : The Harrisburg Trust Company agreed | to finance is, and I went ahead to get ; my options. We bought :>0 acres of j land, and we only intend to actually j issue $30,000 in bonds. There will be | rn acre of land behind every bond." Berry's attempted explanation that I Ve went to Harrisburg to negotiate the . dan so that the fact would not be known in Delaware county, and pos sibly raise the price of land which he desired to purchase, fell very flat when it was revealed that all of the j details of the transaction were attenci | ed to by the Delaware County Trust i Company and the recording fe es were j | paid by it. Why Berry should finance his deal j | from a Harrisburg state depository j l because he wanted to keep if secret, j and then goto his envn town and hive j the searches made and the deeds re- | corded, is Sometning that puzzles otft- , rials in Delaware county. Moreover, the records she>w that this j Delaware County Trust Company is the ' holder of an original ironclad first I mortgage for ?lfi.Cno on Fields' Bros.' j brie kyard. if as Berry says, there are 20 acres of ground b°hind the $30,000 in bonds which Berry says will be issued under the $50,"0n mortgage, the records do not show it. They do show that the original yard oi Fr-'d Bros, .-oiiip; l see: eight acres. Again: t this is the $16,006 mortgage. The other new purchase besides thi five acres from Laidbw, as shown by the records, is five ;; re.from E'. lyn Sibley. The total value of the land acquired since State Treasurer Berry turned the concern into a stock com pany and then placed his !► 50,000 mort gage. Is $0750. This is all the land holdinof "Ber ry's brickyard" that ate disclo <1 by the books of the Recordei of Deeds' office in Delaware county. Trust companies do not usually tike $50,000 corporate mortgages on tiling* not a matter of oflle ial record. Skeptical as to Explanation. Delaware county officials who were familiar with these fact* w re. Mi. re fore. skeptical as to the explanation as te> why the State Treasurer !he largest state depositor in Pern uin to finance this business vent a The news that this same trust co-jsianv which Berry has favored Li more than $600,000 in the general 'in 1 ot the state was alsei a surprise > o'> This surprise was "not lessened by Ber ry's admission that for his bond for $500,000 he was only compelled to pay a nominal fee. The usual fee of security companies for taking such a bond is $2500 a year. It was not considered remarkable that the State Treasurer should lexik with kindly eye on the Harrisburg Trust Company. Those who read of the transaction were startled when they recalled the strong demand fe>r treasury reform tn last Democratic platform and the veh ement spe¥*-hes which Berry and Ho mer Castle made concerning politicians? who borrowed money from banks which hold state funds. Although Berry's entry into brick making did ne>t begin until after he- 1 became State Treasurer, his friends in Chester are confident that it will be a] successful venture. Berry Is known in | his home town as a shrewd business j man. But what is causing no end of gossip. < pecially in "reform circles," is the fact that Berry should so soon after his election engage in transactions e»l a chsracter which he and his associ ate.; have for years denounced. "Old Tirrcrs" Put to Shame. The fact is that he went further than any of his predecessors. The reformers did not have an op portunity to criticise any state treas urer for borrowing from state deposi tories. There is no record of such a condition of affairs in the history eif the state Treasury under Republican administration. There have been criticisms from time to time of politicians supporting the party in power for borrowing from banking institutions having deposits ejf state funds. When the Enterprise Bank failed in Allegheny it was Mr. Berry and his | Democratic colleagues who went up and down the state frantically deery i ing a system which would permit poli | ticians borrowing from banks carry j ing deposits of state funds. I But there never was a charge that a state treasurer was engaged in that | line of business until Mr. Berry, "th* ; reformer," was elected. The state did not lose a dollar by the failure of the Enterprise Bank, which afforded so much political capi tal for Mr. Berry last fall, as every penny of state funds deposited in that bank has been paid back, with inter est, into the state treasury. The late Senator Quay, while having no connection with the state treasury, borrowed money from the People's Bank in Philadelphia upon approved collateral, such as any other citizen might Uo, but the Berrys and the Em ery and the other "reformers" set up a hue and cry throughout the common wealth, and painted him as a law breaker and an enimy of the people. Mr. Berry, as State Treasurer, is now discovered to be a large borrower from an institution from which he cat draw large sums of money, any day. might cripple the trust company finan cially in case of a run, and yet he was chosen as a "reform" candidate for State Treasurer, and he is still nightly upon the stump demanding the election of a "reform candidate for Governor" in the person of that eminent -refor mer," Lewis Emery. Jr., of Pure Oi! fame, of "Brewery and Church" no toriety, anel of other scandalous con;'.' tions that are now the subject of gen eral criticism. THE MODERN HOTEL. A Product of the Times, It I* Made by the tiue.sts. Among the silly ami absurd articles appearing from time to time concern ing hotel and tavern keeping, one tells us again and again how the modern hotel is shown to disadvantage when compared with the iuns of colonial days. Iu these articles the writer di lates and expatiates ou the hospitality of the old time tavern, and the cold, In '.liferent and almost cruel treatment re eivod from the hands of the modern hate! man Of course every one knows if he will drop sentiment for a moment and give the subject a little sober re :!< ii<m that the modern traveler, tour ist or h »tel guest would absolutely re ft: e the accommodations afforded by the inn of a hundred years ago. The only advantage of a hotel of those time- lay in the fact that the lack of material comforts drew from the trav •it r a warmer fellow feeling and great' er so -lability a condition iu whie-h one man was more his brother's keeper than prevails today. Again, the travel by coach and the small number thrown together, en route or at the hotel, made closer acquaintanceship not only possi ble. but far more desirable than in our day of big hotels and big crowds. The modern hotel is a product of the times. The wants, desires, whims, fads and.on top of till these, the imperative demands e»f those who travel have made the hotel of today what it Is from the standpoint of food, accommoda tions, method of service and manage ment and from every point of view. The hotel keeper of today responds fo the bidding of the guests. One might almost say of the man and woman who travel: "Here is your hotel. You have planned It, furnished it. You have out lined its methods of management, and it is what you believe should be com prehended in the modern hotel." The colonial tavern, which would not be tolerated for a moment In our days, was adapted to its times. To speak o? it as being superior to the modern hos telry is to claim that the olel stage coach, which left you more weary and worn at the end of a hundred miles than the palace coach does te>day at the end of a thousand miles, was a su i peri >r vehicle of travel to those used j on the modern railroad.—Hotel World. \ii Odd Areuiiifnt.

Before the civil war we Americans had few outdoor pastimes. There was some l'ox hunting in the south, some shooting in the north. There was con siderable fishing, very little angling. Tennis and golf were unknown to us. Croquet was decorously played. Driv ing and riding were restricted to the few who could afford the time and ex pense. One or two cricket elevens struggled for existence. There were no bicycles, no motors, of course, only an absurd velocipede or two. Extreme youth "tlew kites," played marbles and whipped tops. Among their elders, however, there was a mincing, artifi cial attitude toward all outdoor sport which found its fullest expression in a quadrille, at croquet or a sentimental sailing expedition under the calmest of skies. However, even then we had yachts men naturally corollary of our superb commercial navy—and we had good horses and were breeding better oues, and we by inheritance were a nation of men who handled a rifle properly. War came and left us with its iui meuse accumulation of good and evil, and it seemed then that out of sheer weariness of sadness and trouble the germ of the old play spirit, so long dor mant, awoke among us to save us from ourselves.- Collier's Weekly.

Carmel from Ids visit with the Columbia county people at the Blooms burg fair. Tlie weather was not pleas ant, but the reception given to our congressman was very gratifying to him anil iiis friends. Columbia county a few years ago was a veritable bulwark of Democracy but times have changed ideas and property under Republican govern ment and soup houses under Demo cratic regimes have awakened even that old fishing creek confederacy to the needs of the times and the Demo cratic majority in Columbia have been very materially cut down in recent years and in some cases turned in He publican majorities. The rapid growth of the manufacturing town of Berwick lias added verv largely to the Republi can vote of the couutv. The continued prosperity of that end of old Columbia will entirely change the political com plexion of tlie county in a few years. This Republican growth coupled with tlie feeling upon the part of many intelligent Democrats that the district must he represented by a He publican it it is really to l»e represent ed at all, will probably give to Dr. .Samuel an almost even vote in Colum bia couuty next month. The doctor will carry Catawissa and Bloomsburg by small majorities and tie is exacted to have at least a thousand majority in Berwick.—Mt. Carniel News.
