THE BABY ACT OF IIEKIIY.
The Pittsburg Post, the strongest
Democratic sheet at the other end
of Pennsylvania, has precious little
use for Bolter BERRY and his
soreheaded Keystone party that is
composed of disgruntled Democrats
and disgruntled Republicans. Was
ever editorial utterance more ener
getic, and vitriolic even, than this?
When the third partyites named
at Philadelphia former State Treas
urer W. H. BERRY for governor
their movement collapsed. It was an
assemblage in which soreheads,
chronic offlceseekers and reform
ers for revenue dominated, and, as
was -easily surmised, they selected
a type for the chief candidacy.
Former Treasurer BERRY was
swept into office on a reform wave
and during his official tenure the state
capltol steal was exposed. There
will be no detraction from whatever
credit is due to him in those prem
ises. But as many have suffered
before, the appetite for office as
sailed him, until It has become as
dire an affliction as the thirst for
whiskey, which he would favor in
effective and un-Democratic meth
ods to suppress. His wild ambi
tions swelled until he clamored for
the vice-presidency at Denver. But
recently at Allentown he was willing
to forego his prohibition crankism
if a regular Democratic convention
would nominate him for governor.
He received, in fact, one-third the
votes of that body, and now
in his
Jilted moments is willing to betray j
UI1U UlilUUi illlC, Ilia iccuii. v.
ten t , that party's battle array. No
cause is suffering that evokes Mr.
BERRY'S protest; no chicanery has
made him its victim. Nothing but
the quenchless craving for office
compels him to abandon the princi
ples which guide honorable men.
The Citizen, on at least three or
four separate occasions, has pointed
out the conspicuous temperamental
unfitness of Mr. BERRY to be gov-
ernor of Pennsylvania or to hold i
any office In any state that should
be tenanted by a manly and fair
minded Incumbent. His accept
ance, let alone solicitation, of the
Keystone nomination was tho big
gest baby act of which Pennsylvania
politics during tho lifetime of men
more or less middle-aged contains
any record.
Mr. BERRY wanted tho regular
Democratic nomination. He did not
get votes enough. Mr. GRIM, the
personal choice of Col. GUFFEY,
national committeeman and Demo
cratic state boss, was nominated.
Mr. BERRY'S manager got up In tho
Allentown convention, said GRIM
was good enough for him and for
the BERRY following, and moved
tho nomination of the senator from
Bucks bo made unanimous.
It was made unanimous. Mr.
BERRY called on Mr. GRIM and
congratulated him on his convention
success; Mr. BERRY, before this
interview with tho nominee ended,
pledged his personal support and
the support of the BERRY Demo
crats to tho Allentown tickot.
Now he has broken faith with tho
man he agreed to support; ho la
running today, not to be elected
governor over Mr. GRIM and Mr.
TENER for that, he knows, would
be a political impossibility but
purely ont of the narrowest and
most selfish sort of individual spite,
in the effort to cut as low as possi
ble the vote of the man who de
feated him in the Allentown con
vention. Mr. BERRY is a breaker of prom
ises a type of man the American
people long ago learned to despise.
As such hp simply mnkes the Key
stone ticket weaker instead of
stronger. He is making his last
run for an office. He is stumping the
state for the last time as a candidate
seeking to procure his own election
to public place. After the Novem
ber election WILLIAM H. BERRY
will be simply the excellent brick
maker of Chester the one occupa
tion for which he has capacity and
the one orbit the Keystone guber
natorial candidate was ever fitted
to adorn.
But when you come to think of
it, Esperanto is a lot more sensible

Whew I Just watch out for an
other "undesirable citizen," a news
paper editor this time, over In Sus
quehanna. If corn makes whiskey and whis
key makes Democrats and the corn
crop is short, what's the answer?
Harrlshurg Telegraph.
Very simple. The Democrat crop
in the nation this fall will be about
half a crop, like the apple crop In
Pennsylvania.
Here is more cheering news from
the great corn belt. Says the Em
poria (Kan.) Gazette:
With a million dollar rain every,
night, and million dollar sunshine
during the day, it is worse than
foolish to worry about the corn
crop.
Or to stew over anything else,
for that matter. WILLIAM ALLEN
WHITE, ordinarily pretty bright,
doubtless realizes that worry Is
buying more tombstones nowdays
than even appendicitis and automo
biles. 4-

Henry Watterson says that no

self-evident, requires no demonstra

voted for Grim. Furthermore, at

blocked a set of resolutions brought
before that committee condemning

bless her, combines the useful and
ornamental. She might gad about,
loll on sofas, gossip and read story

A few minutes study each doy

The great lawyer or public speak

commonplace.
Rufus Choate once told Joseph H.
Choate, 'Remember, Joseph, that
these are the four great English
men Shakespeare, Milton, Brown,
and Edmund Burke. Read these in
your spare moments, and when you
have mastered them, you have mas
tered all that la worth while that

These and a copy of Homer, touch

Lucretius, were to be found upon
Choate's dressing table.
One book was kept open and
Choate was In communion with
Greece and Rome while dressing. In
the course of his mental entertain

rising and no more than that upon
retiring, Choate committed to mem
ory much of Homer and of Virgil,
nad nearly all of Horace.
Mr. Bryce was a great student of
books. To memorize Homer, seiz

STATESMAN.
Mr. Grim Accuses Sir. Berry.
The treachery of Berry to tho
Democratic party was made com
plete by his consent to a nomina
tion for governor at the hands of
a nondescript third party. When
Berry shook hands with Senator
Grim after the adjournment of tho
Allentown convention and promised
to support tho ticket, he was mor
ally bound to do It. Now ho Is tho
head of a movement designed to de
feat the nominees of the Democratic
convention, In which he was also
a candidate. He had no Just cause
to take this step. Ho can conjuro
no excuse for his breach of faith
that will square with his conscience.
Deep down In his heart Berry will
feel ashamed of his performance
when he meets the people of Penn
sylvania face to face.
But Berry can never be elected
governor of Pennsylvania. That
Idol will be shattered on Nov. 8.
Pennsylvanians may still fall to see
danger In tho continued reign of
Penroselsm, but Pennsylvania has
never yet placed in her executive
chair a man whose pre-election acts
have proof of moral obliquity. He
who would sponge "virtue" from
his State coat of arms and make
"liberty and Independence" by-words
cannot hope to occupy positions of
honor in this state.
No Democrat can now follow
Berry. His last act contemplates
cold-blooded party assassination.
Democrats will therefore turn from
him as from pestilence. From
present Indications the entrance of
a third ticket into the field will
really make but little difference in
the result. Either Senator Grim or
Mr. Tener will be elected this fall.
