Democratic Editors For Grim. The veteran editor, I'. Gray Meek, the Democratic Bfllefonte V.'ateh n, has made a canvass and figures that in the entire state there are out a dozen newspapers giving ry any support, and of these only en can claim any Democratic con uency, and the others are of a ngrel class that would naturally ;e up a cause such as the Berry can jacy represents. Meek insists that Berry should with w. .Vith the name of Grim nailed to his ltorial masthead, Editor Joseph G. ther, of the Huntingdon Monitor this gentle knock at the Keystone ididate: Over ills own signature William ierry gave out to the press a ridl lUS tirade against Senator Grim, in ch he said: 'He sat in the senate n they burned one capitol down ■r his her 1 and stole seven millions dollars n building another.' As nator Grim was not elected to the jisiature until six years after the rning of the capitol in 1897, Mr. .•ry's statement is important only proof of the recklessness and un- of the assertions he is king about Senator Grim." Editor Meyers, of the Democratic ar-Independent of Harrisburg, taker • Grim end of the controversy, and aong other things said in a recent me: "It is a pity that Mr. Berry, the •ystone Party's candidate for the of of governor of Pennsylvania, can see himself as others see him and nnot understand how ijdiculous hia acks on the Democratic party sotud the eara of any sensible man in Ills dunce. "In almost every santoace of hie eeches he tells those who wtU listen him that he is the candidate of the lyatono Party only because he could be the candidate of the Demo itic party. He has glvea no other son for his posing as a reiormer, there is none; he caaneit muster .»ugh of his particular brand of as ance to pretend that there Is any er reason. He poses as a bitter >my of the 'liquor interests,' but h6 ild have swallowed his convenient ilty and remained blind to what he s tho alliance between Penrose and '>einocratic leaders if only the A'.- icniuwn convention nad given u. .. that nomination. "His story of the nomination is ab surd from beginning to end. * * * Because the party that honored him for five years ,ias i s> n anr.ii- ;• man for the head o ; i. j " is flandering and villi';, ic i' yi r; to defert it wliil-> s'::l p. .id..is to be a Democrat." The Philadelphia Record, which was one of Berry's principal supporters when he ran for state treasurer, is now for Grim. In a review of the situation in its issue of Monday last the Phila delphia Record said: "The delay in the appointment of the state finance committee of the Keystone Party Is said to be owing to difficulty in getting a sufficiency of the | 'right kind of men' to underwrite the J conduct of the campaign, hi this city the dissensions in the independent ranks have evidently alienated from their camp a very large element of old-line refermers who include the per sons that were the mainstay of the campaign funds in former battles her° against the political contractors' or ganization. The effect of this state of nffr.i-s upon the 'country' Is said to ho anything but conducive to such financial assistance as the Berry tick et managers hoped to receive for their cause."

C- jT" [Special Correspondence. ] Harrisburg, Sept. 6. A storm of protests has come in from every section of the state against the action of William T. Creasy in using his official position as head of the State Grange to promote his pe zuliar political interests and ambitions to the detriment of the order. Creasy, who is still smarting under the defeat administered to him at the primary election when he ran for the Democratic nomination for state sena tor in Columbia county. Is trying to get satisfaction from his Democratic and Republican opponents by support ing William H. Berry for governor. Berry and he.have worked together in Democratic politics. Both stood by Bryan to the end, and Creasy went to Allentown to try and have Berry made the Democratic nominee. Having failed u this, he flopped over to the Keystone Party and was one of the most active spirits in the Keystone Party convention in support of Berry, and with Bonniwell and of*- cr well knov.n Bryanite Democrats, succeeded in defeating the element in the Keystone Party that favored the nomination of an independent Repub lican for governor. Creasy has since been active in help ing to manage Berry's campaign, and his most effective work Is being done through the organ of the State Grange known as tiu- Grange News. As worthy master of the gransre. Creasy has charge of this publication. While it is conceded tlr t Mr. Creasy has a right to vote for whom he plen.s es and to work for his election, it is contended that he has no right to use the organ of the grange, its official publication, to advance factional or personal interests or to espouse the cause of any political party. Under the constitution of the grange officers and others are forbidden to interfere with the political or religious views of any of the members, and no official, high or low. has heretofore been permitted to take l advantage of his position to influence or coerce any member in political or religious mat tors. I'nder the editorial direction of Creasy the State Chance News h'is deteriorated into a political sheet. It has been diverted from its logtcnl work of educating the members and others regarding matters of special iuterect to farmers and affiliate 1 interests, and has been made the political mouth piece of a defeated Democratic politi cian who seeks to line up the mem bers of the grange at the < omini; elec tion so as to serve I,ls own purposes Included in the membership of th? grange ar Republicans, l>euioerat and Prohibitionists, who purpose t support the nominees of their respec tive parties. They insist that Cheasy shall cease to use the Grange News for politica l purposes. Creasy got a severe setback wheci he sought to have the committee on legislation of the grange de la. against bo'.h Republican and Dem» cratic parties and for Berry He g-t but one vo > besides his own and w„s greatly chiitriceri at the deleat of hi» scheme. 'ifluential Grangers insist that Creasy must quit his political ! campaigning or resign as master A WOMAN'S LOGIC. It Helped Her Out When the Customs Officials Bothered Her.

"Are they for yourself ?" the Inspector wanted to know. "No. they are not," she declared. "1 am bringing I hem home for presents." "Then since they are not for your own use 1 shall be compelled to charge you duty," and he figured out for her the required amount. Taking, the pencil from his hand, shu (ifired for a moment and then said: "Well, I declare! That has made those dresses cost me so much that I simply can't afford to give them away now. I'm just going to keep them for my self; that's what I'll do!" New York Tribune. A Sample of Suggestion. A popular comedian and playwright was praising the humorous value or suggestions.

"JERRY." The Story of an Artist and a Lit tle Child. By AGNES G. BROGAN. [Copyright, 1910, by American Press Asso ciation. J "Do you know of any one who would like to adopt a little girl? I promised Martha Dale as she died that 1 would find homes for her children. The min ister's wife will take care of the boy, but no one around here seems to want girls." The farmer's wife looked exceeding ly troubled, and the young man smiled consolingly. "I am afraid that I cannot help you out," he replied. "The boy might have been made useful about my studio for a time; but, being a lonely orphan my self, 1 can only sympathize with the little girl." "Perhaps." the woman mused hope fully, "Mrs. Gray might change and let you have the boy." But Phillip Dryden protested quick ly. "I don't want either of them," he said. lie was leaving the pictur esque village that evening to spend the summer quietly at his old homestead, where the faithful housekeeper nlone remained to bid him welcome. In the fall he intended going abroad to pur sue his art studies. He made his way slowly up the brow of the hill, pausing to rest beneath a fee whose branches were laden with spring blossoms. Presently a child's figure emerged from the shadows, a very tiny lad whose solemn dark eyes gazed wonder iugly out from the brim of his faded red cap. "If you please," he said simply, "I am ready togo with you." The young man stared incredulously. "I could clean the paint brushes," the small voice added persuasively, "and I will bo very good." Philip jumped to his feet. "You poor little rascal," he exclaimed, "you can't go with me!" "But 1 am Jerry Dale," the child in sisted. "You told Mrs. Wostly you would take the boy." "She ought not to have sent you here," the young man said angrily, lie looked at his watch —jusi fifteen i 'mSfn I Wr l n %(i JrTvJ ft l\ 1 15 \ W "t AM rniiiip RMVDKNV HE EXPLAINED. minutes to reach the station. "Kun j back as quick as you can. Jerry," he 1 said But the child clung to him des perately. "1 am goln' with you," be sobbed. "I'm goln' to live with you." Philip stood irresolute for a moment; then, following an uncontrollable im pulse. he caught the pathetic little fig ure up in his arms and ran to catch the train. "We will give him one good summer," lie explained apologetically to the sur prised housekeeper, "then find a homo for him some place." It would have been diflicult to tell which of the two enjoyed that summer most, the child, who throve like a plant with good care, or the man who plan ned for his pleasure. And when at last the day of Philip's departure came he determined that the little Iml should always be waiting ai the oltl homestead to greet him when he re lrreslstlbly drawn to look again ana still again. The artist threw down his brushes with a sigh of satisfaction, and then beneath the painting be wrote, "A Waif." Ills, wonderful picture attracted widespread attention, and I'hillp was brought into sudden prominence and made much of. Hut uow that his one great aim had been accomplished he was possessed of au overwhelming de sire to return to his own land. And when upon the homeward journey the train stopped for a few moments at the sleepy little village he remembered so well Philip deciU) d suddenly to visit again the quaint streets aud by ways that had furnished material for so many crude sketches, lie walked slowly down the hill and passed the blossoming tree where his little lad had spoken to him out of the shadows. Perhaps even after a lapse of ten years he might still hear news of the boy. Ills attention was attracted by the happy laughter of children just releas ed from school.

Fleeting as thut glance hud been, it moved the man with a strange sense of loss and longing, for the eyes look ing out from the girl's sweet face were the haunting eyes of Jerry. "This must be the sister," he con cluded, and he would meet her upon the following day to learn how the boy had prospered. lie was waiting as she came alone up the fragrant pathway. "Miss Dale?" he asked smilingly, and she bowed her head In assent "I am Philip Dryden," he explained, "the man who would have adopted your brother Jerry long lie not deserted me. I am still anxious to hear what became of him." "llow do you know," she asked slow ly, "that the boy was my brother?" "The likeness," he replied, "is un mistakable." j "It is a pitiful story," she said. "Lls | ten, and 1 will explain, i "There were two little homeless ones I that night, Tom, the boy,"—she smiled | involuntarily—"and Jerusha, his sister, j Girls did not seem to be desirable, so j this little girl, whom nobody wanted, J sat screened by a curtain of vines, lis- I tening breathlessly as a woman tried j to persuade u strange young man to | find a home for her among his people, j She has never forgotten his laughing \ reply, though it was all very serious I then, and the child's heart went out to the man, who was a lonely orphan himself.

I "Clad in a shabby suit of her broth i or's, never dreaming of failure, she I met you here in the twilight." The j girl's eyes shone. "Then followed the golden days at the farm, and later, j when she had been taught the sin of deceiving, 'Jerry* reasoned that the | only reparation In her power would be j to relieve you of the burden which you ] had not desired and togo back again j to the only place she had known." ! She was silent for a few momenta. | "The old housekeeper has been my j trusted friend." she continued, "and in I long letters we have rejoiced together j over the success of your remarkable | painting." She put out her hands Im pulsively. "It la rather lato to beg forgiveness," she said, "and I can ! never hope to repay my great debt of ! gratitude." | Eagerly he clasped the extended ! hands.

"I shall stop over here for n time," : he said at parting. "This is a splendid place fur making sketches."

CASH REGISTERS IN POSTAL BANK Yankee ingenuity to Mark Adoption ot Flan. START WITH OLD SYSTEM. Cumbersome Foreign Procedure of Pass Books to Be Dropped as Soon as Desirable Machine Is Invented to Safeguard Money Deposits of Public, Says Postmaster General. That the United States will have a postal savings bank plan entirely dif ferent from all other postal savings schemes and that Its superiority over other systems is a tribute to y'ankeo Ingenuity are two of the facts I Vought out in an explanation made recently by Frank 11. Hitchcock, postmaster general, concerning his intentions re garding this new financial feature in the life of the country. Mr. Hitchcock has assured himself that the groundwork has been laid se curely for the establishment of the postal banks. Cash Register Guards Deposits. Although every other country which has a postal savings bank system uses the pass book plan in order to keep track oft deposits of money, Mr. Hitchcock,after many conferences with authorities on savings banks, has de- i liberately cut loose from this scheme. He has decided to adopt a plan which in the end will depend upon macliln- j ery. To be more exact, the cash register, I essentially an American idea, will keep tabs on the deposits of money and will guard the public against the possibili ty of embezzlement and theft on the part of those who handle the sums turned into bo guarded by the gov ernment Never before has this plan been con sidered by any country, and all over Europe there is now in effect the cumbersome scheme of handling pass book:. All the oilier postal savings plans of the world are practically Identical. It is now up to some inventive genius to put 011 the market n cash register which will do the things required for handling the money intrusted to the postOffiCM of the United States. Deposit Slips at First. Hut Mr. Illtchcoi'k has not caleulat ed that the cash reglßter system enn be pr.t into operation at on£e. first, because no satisfactory register is on the market and, secondly, because the expense of installing the system at once would be too great. For the first six months or a year there will be used deposit slips, han dled by hand. They will bo in figures from $1 to SO, and in addition to these there will be slips for.? 10, S2O and SOO The $lO. S2O and SSO slips will be made out in duplicate, so that there will bo no opportunity for clerks or receiving tellers to falsify them. Only the slips running from $1 to $0 will bo made out in ink as issued, and the postmaster general has figured that there Is slight chance of anybody incurring the danger of the peniteu tiary for the benefit of falsifying any entry less than $lO.
