When the historian comes II
chronicle the state of the Govern
ment at Washington in the sec
ond week Of May in the curren
year, his narrative will read some
thing like this:
"The Executive power spent
the second week Of May, 1887,
fishing In the Gulf Of Mexico.
"The Legislative powers,
which are vested In o Congress

House Of Representatives, after

phaned at the George L. Berry
age of I. Shortly thereafter he
was apprenticed in q newspaper
as a printers devil. He got his
knowledge from books, and ne
reads, reads and reads.
His love for reading helped him
out at q crucial moment of his life
in an unusual way. He was a
young man. He was on the way to
take a job on the newspaper in
Nebraska City run by j. Sterling
Morton, father OF Arbor Day,
whose statue has just been placed
in the Capitol.
Young Berry landed in Council
Bluffs with 10 cents in his pocket
and three books under his arm.
One of them was Victor Hugo'S
lies Miserables." It cost him 10
cents to cross on the ferry and
he sold his books and got enough
money to get meal and get to
his job.
He has been working for the
New Deal since the beginning OF
this Administration and has never
drawn a cent of salary and turned
in only one expense account, and
that was in the early days OF the
Administration, when he went
South to conduct some hearings.
All during the time he was con-
nected with the NRA and while he
was the Presidents Coordination
for Industrial Cooperation he re
fused to accept any salary.
He farms for relaxation and
wonder of wonders, he actually
pays an income tax on his farm
profits. What an example for the
farmers Of the country! He heads
the printing pressmen's union, and
has done some mining.
And so to the Senate.
