CORRUPT, SAYS

ORANGE POLITICS
Rev. David De F. BurreIl Will

Declaring that South Orange is being
run by men who spend money for po-
litical fun in order to fight out personal
grudges, the Rev. David De Forest

rian Church, that village, today an
nounced that he had decided to wage
a war in the village against political
conditions
THE only politics or parties that are
in the village" the clergyman said,
''are President Kip. jr., and former Vii
lage Trustee John r. Weeks. These
men," ne continued. hold the war

plos- together and keep the pot boil
ing. Mr.. Kip. he said, was "stung"
by Mr.. Weeks fairly and squarely at
an election some years ago and con-
tinues To hole the grudge.
Although he said he had no affilia-
tions with either party, Mr.. Burrell
raped I'm particular the Citizens
party. He accus ed the party of buy
ing votes by paying men to stand
about the polls on election day and
giving out tickets for which they re-
ceived 81 or SO in return. This he
said he had decided to ask both parties
at the next election to mutually dis
continue.
He will urge, he said, that four
candidates be named at the next cleo
ton to represent no party, but to be
candidates on personal reputation. and
to make no pre- election pledges or
stand on any platform whatever.
Board OF Trustees.
Speaking of the members in the pres
ent Board of Trustees whose terms will
terminate in the spring. the minister
said that he does not believe that any
of the Citizens men could be elected
again. Mr.. Burke and Mr.. Hill, he said,
have made themselves unpopular
1T is doubtful" he said, when asked
about Trustee John F. McDonough, who
was elected on the Peoples ticket.
In regard to the proposed ordinance,
which IL passed will allow saloons in
the village to remain open an hour
longer each night, the divine asid that
he believed that the trustees would
finally pass the measure in order to
carry out a party pledge. That it was
party pledge, however, he said, he
cannot prove.
However, we know" he continued.
that the Citizens are backed by men
whose influence should not be tolerated
within the community, and who do not
care if the village goes to the devil or

stood forth as the first champion in

no one struck a responsive chord as
this young lawyer. Thousands fiocked
TO hear him and he gained for himself
the title, the Great Commoner, by
which he was known throughout the

In no line will her intelligence show

How often YOU hear man say, Il

But women will know how to vote,
no fear of that; they may make a few
mistakes, but not such colossal ones

of having the atom continue as moth

ton 1t wants to see atoms and feel

promise great future results.
The Fuel Problem.
The solution of the problem of fuel
supply is one which is calling for the
deepest thought Of genius. Although
today the coal mined in the United
States in a singh year will do as much
work as the whole human race could
do in many years, the methods of using
it for heat and power are tremendous
" wasteful. The energy in a pound Of
anthracite is equivalent to that ex-
pended by a hod carrier in a days
work of 10 hours. The portion of the
energy utilized is ordinarily less than
the hod carrier would expend in so
minutes work A piece of coal weigh
ing less than two pounds has as much
power in 1T as horse expendS in
pulling plow from sun to sun. If all
the energy of the coal were utilized
it would require only 800 tons of coal
to drive a large steamer across the
Atlantic 1t may be that the expert
ments for making electricity direct
from coal will solve the problem Or
perhaps a perfect combustion engine
will do it, Either one of these things
IS possible.
But suppose none of them work out

II ENRY CLAY was born in Han
II over county, Va, April II, 1777,
in q district called the SlaShes.
His father. a Baptist clergyman, died
during the revolutionary war, leaving
his widow without means, and with
seven children, of whom Henry was
the fifth, to provide for.
The mother married again and took
all her children with her to Kentucky,
except Henry and his eldest brother
Henry ploughed barefooted, in ragged
trousers and coarse shirt, receiving
only a little instruction in the log
cabin schoobhouses then common in
Virginia.
At II we find him clerking in q
store in Richmond A year later he
got into the office of Peter Tinsley.
clerk of the court of chancery. Young
Clay was a good penman and the
clerk employed him as his amanu-
ensis. and from this dictation he
learned how to construct sentences
with grammatical accuracy. Upon, the
advice Of chancellor Wythe he turned
to the law. In 1895 he took up his
residence with Robert Brooke. then
attorney general of Virginia, and
formerly governor. He studied law with
Mr. Brooks and came into contact with
Patrick Henry. who made a lasting i'm
preston on him. Licensed to practice
law by the Virginia court of appeals,
he located in Lexington Ky, where he
at once leaped into fame. After he
had been IS months in Lexington he
married Lucretia Hart. a daughter Of
a noted Kentuckian. This estimable
woman and devoted wife, bore him Il
children.
The Slavery Question.
He soon purchased the Ashland es-
tate and threw himself into all the
great movements of the time The
slavery question attracted his atter-
ton. While the prohibition of sidv-
cry, northwest of the Ohio by the or-
dinbnce of 1897, proceeded from the
southern statesmen. the slave holding
interests kept all OF the land south of
the Ohio firmly in its grasp. and the
free help of the negro seemed neces-
sary 10 its well being. Clay boldly
took the unpopular side, which stand
turned out to be the turning point IL
his career. The eyes of the nation
were riveted on this young man. who
had just come to Kentucky, and had
the courage to oppose what seemed 10
Kentuckians. their best interests
mere stripping from Virginia, dictat-
ing to them and defying them What
manner of youth was this who dared
to come into a strange community and
seek to turn them from their long
cherished opinions? There must be
something in the man. who dared to be
so singular. and brave men fiocked to
his side.
But we soon come to another turn
ing point in his career. During the
