fair name of his native State. He
quickly took exception to-day to attacks

Mr. Mellon seemed to know there is
nothing bordering on aridity in his State.
But when the drys proclaimed Pennsyi-

that was too much.
why the worst wet State?' Mr. Mel
Ion asked. Its all a. matter of COM
parison, you know" ne added. There
are lots of others. But why call Penn
sylvania the worst or the wettest?"
There was no answer. There appeared
to be no drys in the group that sur
rounded Mr.. Mellon during the brief in
terchange In his Treasury office, and
even the walls echoed approval.
