State Inspection
Issues Warning
Secondhand Berry Boxes Con
denrned, Severe Penalties for
Using

The state inspector of weights
and measures was in town Tues
day looking over scales and
measuring berry boxes, etc. He
warned several storekeepers
about returning empty berry
boxes. There is a penalty of
fifty dollars for using berry
box the second time, and it is
considered an infraction of the
statutes to have used empty
boxes in possession. After a
box has been emptied it must
be crushed or otherwise de-
stroyed.
What brought about this
somewhat drastic law was the
flthiness of the secondhand
berry box merchants. In the
large cities, thousands of poor
people would collect these boxes
from the garbage cans and back

Secretaries of State
Have Often Resigned
w. j. Bryan Follows Precedent
in Quitting His Job before
Term Expires

AS to secretaries of state, it
may be said few die, but many
resign. w. J. Bryan follows
precedent when he quits before
the expiration of a full term of
four years.
The first secretary of state,
and the most disloyal to his
chief, was Thomas Jefferson,
and he resigned. Moreover, he
left Washington's cabinet at
scarcely less critical period
than the present.
James Madison was Jefferson's
secretary of state during his en-
tire two terms as president, and
he shares with w. H. Seward
the honor of serving the long
est continuous service in that
high office. Seward went through
the administrations of Lincoln
and Johnson.
But Daniel Webster estab-
lished another record. He was
secretary of state under three
different presidents. Next to
his speech favoring the fugitive
slave law the most unpopular
act of that great orators life
was his remaining in John Ty-
ler's cabinet when that individ-
ual deserted the Wing partf af-
ter he was boosted into the presi-
dency by "Tippecanoe" Harri-
sons death.
It seems strange to us in this
day of strong political prejudice
to think that two men SO far
apart as Webster and Calhoun
should be secretary of state I'M
der the same president, but Cal
houn also served for a time I'M
der Tyler.
Old Hickory Jackson estab-
lished another record. He had
four different men for secretary
of state during his two presi-
Dental terms. Mckinley and
Roosevelt each had three.
Thomas Bayard, of Delaware,
served during the full four
years of Cleveland's first term
and Knox stuck to Taft-or per-
haps I may better say Taft
chung to Knox-for an entire
presidential regime.
William M. Evarts was sec
rotary of state during the full
term of r. B. Hayes. But four
years has been the exception and
not the rule for occupants OF
that exalted station.
The saddest error in the poll
tical career of James G. Blaine
was his resignation from Ben
iamin Harrison's cabinet just
before a national Republican
convention, in order to become
a candidate for president against
his chief. Blaine was badly ad-
vised by over-zealous friends.
He would have died a happier
man had he remained secretary
of state until Cleveland went
to the White House for a sec
ond time.
It was quite the fashion in
the early days of our republic
for the secretary of state to be.
come president. So it happened
that Jefferson, Madison, Monroe
and J. @. Adams were all secre.
tary of state during the lirst
80 years Of our government ano
all were afterward president.
But let Mr.. Bryan take notice
please, that that fashion is as
much out of date as hoopsklrts
snuff-boxes and brass buttons
on blue coat. Of the 40 men
who have been secretary, James
Buchanan was the last man to
sit in the presidential chair who
had previously been head OF the
state department.-Phil. Ledger.
