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

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.

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.

(Special Correspondence. |
Philadelphia, Oct. 16.
Colonel Wesley R. 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. Sherman, of the Republican j
congressional committee, he has map- >
ped out a schedule of mass meetings
in different parts of the state at which
many speakers of national prominence
will make addresses in support of Ed
win S. Stuart for Governor and his col
leagues tin tlie state ticket, and for
the Republican candidates for Con
gress.
The fact that Pennsylvania now has

portance of rousing Republicans of

congressional losses next month.
lie realizes that the fusion campaigns
in Pennsylvania and New York are
likely to interfere seriously with the
plans of the Republican managers for
the election of Congressmen. He !
dwelt particularly upon this phase of J
the situation when he had Chairman j
Sherman and Senator Penrose at the ;
White House recently togo over the j
general' political situation.
The President has requested Secre
tary of the Treasury Shaw to make at
least two speeches in Pennsylvania,
and he may make others, although up
to date he has been scheduled for but
two.
i "Uncle Joe" Cannon. Speaker of the
National House, is billed for two Penn
sylvania speeches, and Senator Bever
idge for two. Congressman Watson,
1 of Indiana, member of the ways and
means committee of Congress, is
among others who have been assigned
by the national congressional commit
tee to make addresses in Pennsylva
nia for the whole Republican ticket be
tween now and November 6.

The Hazel Tree.
A curious survival of the days when
the magicians of Europe sought lnde
fatignbly for the philosopher's stone Is
the superstition that attaches to the
hazel tree. The ohl alchemists used
to make their divining rods out of
hazel twin's, and they fostered the be
lief that it would mysteriously direct
its owner to hidden treasures. 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.
There is si curious old market near
Paris in which everything "is sold at

exchange her old dress for a new one
and, if she likes, buy a steak and a
salad for her dinner, a paper bag of
fried potatoes, sweets and some flow
ers for her window. Democracy is king
here, and no more attention is paid to
the millionaire who Is looking for
something marvelous which he may
pick up chap than to the man with a

"Reform" State Treasurer in Busi
ness Along "Practical Lines."
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.

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

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.

Here is a knotty problem suggested
by Sir Henry lioseoe in his autobiogra
phy. Two men argued as to whether
oil or water were the lighter. The first
man contended th.ft the oil must be
lighter, as It floats upon water. And
then the unscientific man triumphed
with the argument that oil must be the
heavier because It keeps the water
down.

Is '-ery careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and given
it a sun bath to sweeten It. She knows
that if her churn is sour It will taint the
nitter that is made in it. The stomach is
churn. In the stomach and digestive
nd nutritive tracts are performed pro
esses which are almost exactly like the
burning of butter. Is it not apparent

uakes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of a foul stomach is not alone

SPORT IN AMERICA.
The Cliaiiite Tlint lias Come Since
(be \\ :ir Between the State*.
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.
Be extraordinary In your excellence
if you like, but l>e ordinary In your dis
play of it. Balthasar Graclan.

Dr. Samuel Gets tbe Glad Hand from
Columbia County
Farmers.
Hon. E. W. Samuel lias returned to
Mt. 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.
