‘BERRY’BLIGHTS
AIRED IN SENATE
Senator Harrison Scores the ‘New
bet ry” Menace Along With
Barberry
BY RICHARD LINTHICUM.
WASHINGTON, April 26.—Sen
ator Pat Harrison, the aKe, e:oquent
and always good-natured junior sen-
I ator from Mississippi, does not pose
[ as an authority on animal and plant
L diseases, but it is rarely’’ the senate
has senate has been so highly enter
" tained and informed as by his recent
scientific discussion of this subject
when the agricultural department
appropriations were under considera
tion. The senator passed over such
pests as scabies, cattle tick, hog
cholera, hoof and mouth disease,
gypsy and Ibrown tail moths, white
pine blisters, boll weevils, boll worms,
bean beetles, citrus canker, Hessian
flies, chinch bugs, and grasshoppers,
and cencentrated his attack upon the
latest dreaded menace to agriculture
—the barberry bush.
On the subject of berries the sen
ator was entirely at home. The bar
berry bush, he informed the senate,
seems to thrive and prevail in the
localities represented by the junior
senator from Minnesota, (Mr. Kel
logg,) the senior senator from Mich
igan (Mr. Townsend) and in Wiscon
sin, represented in part by Mr. Len
root.
Expressing full sympathy with the
wheat growers of the Middle West
whose crops are menaced by the rust
spores of the barberry bush, Senator
Harrison pointed out that the bar
berry bush is not the only berry that
is a pest pr threatens to menace the
country.
“Great as is the injury that may
be wrought by the barberry!” He
said, “it isn’t to me compared with
some other pests or, may I say, dis
eases by the name of ‘berry.’ You
known what I mean. I can see the
smiles on, your countenances when
I mention ‘berry’ pests. Sirs, when
we talk about the danger of the berry
pest the people will not think of ‘bar
berry’ bushes; they will think of
‘Newberry’ bushes, a term taken
from ‘Newberryism,’ meaning the
plungering of the people by the pur
chase of power.”
Widespread Plight.
Stating that he was going to vote
for the increased appropriation to
eradicate the barberry bush, he said
that if some of the senators who had
spoken in behalf of the appropriation
had shown their zeal in trying to
eradicate the other berry pest that is
not applicable to a few states alone,
I but that reaches from Maine to the
i State of Washington, that not only
blights and destroys the wheat but
affects the ambitions of the young
boy, destroys the high ideals of the
people and removes the last vestage
of justice and equal opportunity—
Newberryism-—-they would have ren
dered a greater service to more peo
ple in a larger section of the coun
try.”
The senator explained that ‘New
berryism’ distributes its spores in a
similar manner to the barberry, only
that they are not called rust spores.
“In New York,” he said, “the
spores that emenate from it might
be termed ‘Calder’ spores, or those
from Newtberyium in Massachusetts

might be called ‘Lodge’ spores, or
those from Michigan might be called
‘Townsend’ spores, or in Minnesota
‘Kellogg’ spores. I failed to specifi
cally mention Ohio, where certain
spores from Newberryism would be
termed rust spores but change their
name to “Willis’ spores there.”
Senator Harrison closed with a
plea that when Newberryism next
shows its menacing head ip the sen
ate that his colleagues will show the
same zeal to eradicate it that they
have shown to eliminate barberryism.
“Hardingize, ’ a New Word.
The verb “to Hardingize” is the
most recent addition to the political
vocabulary and may find a permanent
place in the dictionary. It is contrib
uted by Senator Thaddeus H. Cara
way, the incisive and eloquent Demo
cratic senator from Arkansas, who
carries a lancet in his tongue and
wields a shining rapier of eloquence
with which he punctures and pierces
the shams, the hypocrisies and the
wrong-doing of the administration
and political opponents.
Senator Caraway credits the Re
ppublican administration with coining
the words “Newberryize” and “Hard
ingize,” but the senator himself fur
nishes the definitions.
“Newberryizing’’ as defined by the
senator means to buy a seat in the
United States senate.
“Hardingiizing,” according to Sena
tor Caraway, is susceptible of many
definitions. As stated byg him they

(a) To compel the senate to retain

(b) To go to the golf links and
leave your secretary to tell humble
supplicants who want to know why
they were driven out of public em
ployment and their reputations be

it hurts, but he has no other explan

(c) To buy a $45,000 launch, but
let the boys who were sent across the
sea to preserve the liberty of the
world beg for second-hand clothes to
wear and cigarettes to smoke. (Note
The king of England has dispensed
with his launch. The president of
the French republic does not maintain
a private yacht. The queen of the
' British Empire has reduced her bill
; for dresses to $1,500 a year, which
I she is forced to spend for court
dresses.)
(d) To furlough, among others, a
navy yard employee, in an arbitra

missed, or reduced in rank or pay.
For the purpose of accuracy and
the record, it should be stated that
the word Hardingize” was coined by
Elmer Dover, former secretary to
Mark Hanna, and is more or less syn
onymous with “Hannaism.”
