BERRY MEN HAPPY
(Continued Prom Pngo One.)
himself this morning, after spending
the day in Philadelphia, where
Wllllnm II. Berry was nominated to
head the Keystone party ticket.
"In caso tho Prohibition party
stnnds pat, and tho Keystone, Labor
and Socialist parties do the same,
it means John K. Tenor will be
elected governor," he continued."
Innsmuch as the Prohibition and
Keystone parties have adopted sim
ilar platforms with relation to tho
government of the saloons, it seems
to me thnt it is a good deal like
brother fighting brother.
"The Keystone party cannot hopo
to be elected without the Prohibi
tion vote. That has been proven.
We have stepped in several times and
helped to elect their candidate, but
we have been consistently turned
down afterward. It seems sense
less to sacrifice ourselves tall tho
time, because we are fighting for n
principle and we will have to keep
on lighting."
Heiiy Will Make Whirlwind Cam
imljjn. An early start will be mnde In
the Keystone party campaign, it be
ing the Intention of William II.
Berry to visit every county in tho
state at least once before Novem
ber. According to Berry, the light
has already begun.
"We are In the harness today,"
said Berry, "for wo don't propose
to allow the grass to grow under
our feet. This whole state must be
covered in tho campaign, every
county must be entered and that Is i
no small piece of work."
Mr. Berry predicted that the light!
for tho election of the Keystone j
ticket will be waged with greater j
fierceness and determination than
characterized the whirlwind cam
paign of 1905, which landed him in
the office of state treasurer.
Keystone party leaders in Phila
delphia are gratified by the reports
from the state. A number of regu-1
lar Republican and Democratic pa
pers, they claim, who have bolted
their party tickets are lining up and
declaring for Berry and the Key
stone candidates. '
The first real piece of business in
planning the campaign that con
fronts the Keystone party is the
formation of a state committee. Ac
cording to a rule adopted at Thurs
day's convention, this committee
will consist of two representatives
from each senatorial district.
Col. George B. Mapes said Satur
day that within 10 days a perman
ent organization will be effected.
At the meeting for organization a
chairman of the state committee
will be named who will conduct the
campaign. Several names have
been mentioned, among them Eu
gene C. Bonnlwell, Democratic chair
man of Delaware county, and Henry
C. Xiles, who directed the Lincoln
party forces in 1905.
Anticipating a stiff state-wide
campaign, ex-State Treasurer Berry
said he is anxious to see the com
mittee perfected. Although no de
finite plans have been framed by the
leaders in the party, the Indications
point to the opening of political
operations in Philadelphia as early
as Aug. 15.
"It will take all of three months
to cover this state properly," em
phasized Mr. Berry, "and I think
we ought to give that much time to
it. We will go into every county,
and that means at least C7 places
we must visit in the campaign.
"When the Lincoln party cam
paign was in full blast I remember
of having made nine speeches In one
day, and that night I felt as though
I must have delivered a thousand
addresses on the trip. But when I
figured it all up the total was only
7C speeches.
This coming campaign will be
more strenuous than that of 190C.
Wo are going into it to win. I feel
very much encouraged over the out
look I have received dozens of
telegrams of congratulations today,
and the fact that most Impresses
me Is that there are as many from
Republicans as from Democrats."
When D. Clarence Glbboney, nom
inated for lieutenant-governor, was
asked If he would remain on the
Keystone ticket for lieutenant-governor,
he said he had not made up
his mind but will bo able to answer
in a few dayB.
launches Boom for I'Jnchnt in New
York.
Gilford Pinchot, chief forester
under Theodore Itoonevolt, took his
place Saturday on tho list of possi
ble candidates for tho Republican
nomination for governor of Now
York. Col. Roosevelt was asked to
support his candidacy.
Although tho ex-president Is care
fully suppressing everything which
In any way resembles an outspoken
declaration In favor of any candi
date and has been issuing state
ments to that effect, ho showed In
terest in this boom, and it is be
llovcd ho does not look unkindly

by local peoplo who recently go

of picking berries cliaso all tho
American peoplo who attempt to go
to the mountain and gather berries.
This report has not como from ono

thing. Tho foreigners have an Idea
they own all tho berries and that
no one else has a right to pick
them. It is said some of them !
carry weapons nnd threaten peoplo j
with their lives If they do not move.
It was suggested that some of tho

mountain and protect those who
wish to pick tho mountnin fruit.

READ CARBOXDALE'S SIDE.
It's Fool Talk, of Course, But Call
It Hot Weather Humor.
The following from the Carbon
dale Leader would make a billy
goat laugh until his whiskers nched:
The following ludicrous account
of tho second game In the series
between Carbondale appeared In
yesterdny's Issue of the Wayne
Independent:
"Just as most Honesdale fans pre
dicted, Carbondale secured the sec
ond game of the series on a potato
patch at the latter place on Sun
day. Their valley-selected nine
and carefully chosen umpire were
too much for the Honesdale team.
At first Manager Kupfer and Hess
ling protested against the off-color
decisions of Campbell, but this avail
ed nothing and the Honesdale team
played six innings. The wrangling
continued throughout tho afternoon
until the visitors were obliged to
catch their train and this relieved
them of the rankest kind of Injus
tice. There were times when cob
ble stones were thrown by the spec
tators and among the players hit
was the Honesdale second baseman,
William Polt. Carbondale was
outhit almost two to one, but what
did that matter? With two on
bases a ball was hit several feet in
side the line but the big tenth
man said "foul." The best team
lost."
Most Honesdale fans which com
prises a limited number predicted
defeat before they arrived here. We
fans of Carbondale do not wonder
at such a sagacious prophecy; ln
fact, we are more than pleased over
tho good Judgment and discretion
of our rustic friends from Mayor
Kuhbach's town that Includes all
fans from Texas No. 4, Seelyville,
Bethany, Dyberry and Traceyville.
Anyone who had even a slender con
ception of the game would prophesy
the same, after witnessing the first
game of the series. We won the
game on a potato patch ha! ha!
Isn't that the limit. We feel better
pleased now, because our rural
friends should excel tho local play
ers on a potato patch. Valley se
lected nine that is not at all nec
essary. As to the umpire, Silk
O'Loughlln could not satisfy Bon
nie Hessling and a few of his fol
lowers who have attained the rep
utation of being perpetual kickers.
We had plenty of opportunity to
dispute the decisions of the Hones
dale umpire in tho opening game,
but our captain was too agreeable.
Tho reason for him being too leni
ent was duo to the fact that the
Honesdale "ump" informed him
that it was years since he umpired
a game. "Nick" Spencer, It Is be
lieved, would have done better and
all Carbondale fans are aware of the
strength that "Nick" used to bo
to tho Honesdalo squad. As to
cobblestones being thrown by tho
spectators at tho visitors, It is ab
solutely untrue. Tho Carbondalo
fans can prldo themselves in that
respect, as they do not resort to tho
rowdy tactics that aro practiced In
some places not over 28
miles by rail from here. And to
think that Willie Polt, tho quiet
little second baseman, clnims ho was
hit by a stone! If it were llttlo
Bennio thero would probably bo
some excuso to offer. If the wrlt
or of tho above would prod his
epidermis n few times with a hat
pin his dream would end. It wus
ever thus in tho province of the
little borough over the mountnin.

ELBERT WRITES OF ERIE
Sago
of Roycroft Tells About
In-
ceptlon of the Road.
Elbert Hubbard, that wizard with
the lead pencil, has written a ro
mantic booklet of the Erie railroad
from the first days of 1832, when
the early talk of the road was heard
until the recent great achievement
of cutting down Bergen hill for a
four-track entrance to Jersey City.
Jay Gould once said: "The limit of
the Erie is Bergen tunnel," but that
no longer applies.
"No novel ever penned," writes
Elbert Hubbard, "Is so full of ro
mance as the story of the Erie rail
road. Poetry, art, literature, fi
nance, invention, passion, love, hate,
homicide, suicide, have been woven
Into the warp and woof of Its his
tory. No commercial venture has
ever been so torn and tossed by the
bulls as the Erie. Happy times
make dull biographies. There is
nothing dull In the Erie history.
It is a story of strife, a tale of battle
and yet a record of constant, up
ward inarch. Its history has been
written in the cold language of
figures and statistics, and these are
not history at all, any more than
political records are history.
"Tho history of tho Erie is the
history of the commercial suprem
acy of America. Of course, I could
never complete the history of the
Erie, because It Is a never-ending
tale. The Erie isn't built yet It is
only in process.
"The Erie railroad as yet Is only
In its youth. It has not yet reach
ed manhood. Within the past eight
years there has como Into being a
now Erie. Not a rail is on the main
line of ono thousand miles, lacking
one, from Jersey City to Chicago,
that was thero eight years ago. Now
steel and heavier steel, lower grades,
longer trains, heavier equipment, nu
merous safety appliances, increased
efficiency, mark this awakening of
the giant.
"Tho man to advocate putting
fifty million dollars Into tho Erie
for tho purpose of lowering grades
and making It generally a modern
transportation machine was Fred
erick D. Underwood. It 1b an open
secret now that President Under
wood was hired with this ono idea
in mind, tho liberating of tho Erlo
from tho Incubus of Bergen hill,
that mountain of unfriendly, un
compromising trap-rock that Bullon
ly dammed tho tido of trade.
"Faith, aided by money, can re
move mountains. But It takes a
big man to get money. Underwood
Is both an engineer and a money
getter. Also ho Is a diplomat In
securing rights of way and ln mak
ing friends of those whoso friend
ship is required. That mountain
must bo leveled bodily. An opon
cut must bo made. Tho matter was
laid beforo tho mon of means and
Underwood was told to go ahead.
And now Bergen hill hns been cut
through.
"Tho cut is soventy foot deep,
a hundred feet wido and a mllo
long. To do tho task cost five mil
lion dollars. Four tracks aro laid
on tho level floor ut tho bottom of
this great artificial canyon. Tho
two tracks nnd tho old tunnel that
have done such valiant servlco will
bo used for freight, but through the
Open Cut will flow tho tldo of com
muters and tho restless peoples, with
tho wnnderhiBt upon them, who
como nnd go from east to west, nnd
from west to cast. Tho limit has
been lifted.
"Tho railroad stands for peace,
plenty, prosperity work, education,
civilization, enlightenment. Always
nnd forever, when rallronds are
prosperous, they aro building de
pots, warehouses, hotels, bridges
and extending their lines. The
schoolhouse nnd tho railroad go
hand in hnnd. When tho railroads
aro buying equipment, wo all thrive. I
