later when the politicians begin to join the Social
ist party for what they can get out of it.
Mr. Berry is not a particularly strong candidate
for governor of Pennsylvania. He made a good
record as State treasurer, but he has been for
years a chronic seeker for office. His pronounced
temperance views barred him from the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor. There is appar
ently less sentiment in Pennsylvania for prohibi
tion than in any other State, as the "drys" have
been unable to get even a local option law
which would give the people of a community a
chance to vote on the question of the sale of
liquor.
Penrose must have thought that he had every
thing his own way or he would not have nomi
son
nated Tener. With a tremendous Republican ma
jority in Pennsylvania the Independents would
have to make an extraordinary fight to cripple
the organization to any extent.
The nomination of State Senator Grim as the
Democratic candidate has been received with much
disfavor and the dissatisfied Democrats will rally
to the support of Berry. They will be joined hy
the dissatisfied Republicans, but the Berry canvass
will probably make heavier inroads on the Demo
cratic party than on the Republican.
Young Theodore Douglass Robinson. Colonel
Roosevelt's nephew, will not have his ambition
gratified to go to Congress, not for some time
at least. Supported by his distinguished uncle,
Mr. Robinson made the race at the primaries but
was defeated. He secured only 30 of the 86 dele
g a tes from Herkimer county. N. Y., part of the
congressional district. But that was doing very

Chatty Stories ot the Day
"They muit think we are In a bad way here in New
York." eald Francis Wilson at the Player's Club. "They
must tbluk we are as hopeless as the temperance aud
ience in Quag.''
Mr. WlUon was condemning tpe proposed law to Im
prison for a year any person arrested twice for drunk
enness. He resumed;
"A drummer attended a Quag temperance lecture one
night. The audience was enthusiastic. It cheered every
point that the lecturer made. Yet the lecturer had a
red nose and a shaky hand, while an unpleasant odor
of alcohol made the air of the hall heavy.
"'Are they all teetotalers here?' the drummer whia
pered to a neighbor, suspiciously.
"'Yes. sir.' was the reply; 'all strict teetotalers—be
tween the drinks.'"—New York Sun.
Representative Cordell Hull of the Fourth Tennessee
district likes to do things to impress bis constituents
with the idea that he is always trying to benefit them.
On one occasion he persuaded a good roads enthusiast
to travel with him through bis district and lecture on
good roads, of which there are few in that part of the
State.
"You tell these people," said Hull, "that you'll show
them how to build good roads so that they can get
their corn out to market."
At the first meeting place the good roads expert said
to the constituents:
"My friends. I'm going to show you how to build such
roads that you an get your corn out."
"Well, stranger." drawled one of the Tennesseeans,
"you needn't to worry. Down here we raise » lot of
corn, but we make It inter whiskey, an' then fight It
t out "—Popular Magazin«
