HOME AND POLITICS.

) 1IOhlI ~ ~ - IJlAl 10.
| We are now in a great political
throe, Watching every trend Of
national issues and oyultant over
our faycrlte champions pros
poets for popular victory. Net
in spite of all the various party
leaders, there are great ques-
tions to oe settled by the Amcri-
can people around their own
hearthStOnes, far more moment.
GUS in the perpctuity OF nations
than the issues which are TO be
settled by the ballot The great
ness Of any nation that ever rx-
listed was due to influences and
circumstances Of the home and
social life, rather than the great
issues settled by the council of
the nation, You may, if you
please, promulgate the greatest
issues or principles ever aGvccat-
ed hv man, but if the true prin-
ciplcs of human conduct and JUS
tice are judiciously inculcated
into the minds of the youths
while under the parental innu-
ence of the home, then there will
be less need of political strife in
! the national atena. ,
W" are living in an age Of DO
)itlcal uprcst, with the pendulum
Of political affairs swinging in
utter doubt. Are we alive to the
best needs of our country? The
politica field is full and running
over with candidates now. We
! hardly dare to commit ourselves
in ones favor lest the next min.
ute another, (who is a personal
friend, } for the same office, will
appeal to us, and, unless we are
careful, we will lose sight of the
! principles at issue and the fitness
OF persons who seek the Office.
i In the present campaign let us,
in the interest of genuine good
government and protection,
study the fitness and character
of the Office seekers before we
decide which one shall be our
choice. This is Il serious PROPOSE
ton of com hitting our sacred in
terest to a few men to safeguard.
The interest that we cheerful
" entrust to representatives is
the vital source of life, liberty,
and pursuit of happiness. Should
we not then, as individuals, be
extremely cautious and slow in
deriving at who the best candj,
date for o flee is? The man who
spends, in campaigning, as
much money, or even half as
much money as the office pays, is
seeking something more than
the salary attached thereto; but
seeking the opportunity to de-
fraud the public. So in the home
of genuine honesty ana duties Of
d good citizen should be taught
to our children, then when the
resDon ,ibility Of citizenship falls
upon them they will be amply
schooled in the art of good gov
eminent; then citizens will nc
longer play with politics for a
musement and to crafty their
own selfish interest, but will

ENGINEERING EXPERT GIVES TALK ON MODERN
 POWER PLANT QUESTIONS

F. L. Alpern, an engineering expert from the American Engineering Com pany of Philadelphia, delivered a very interesting address last night before the local branch of the Society of Sta tionary Engineers, on the question of power plants. more particularly the question of obtaining steam. His sub- ject was Mechanical Stokers and Ideal Combustion"
 It happens that the power plant of the Connecticut Company on Seaview avenue has been equipped with Taylor mechanical stokers and the speaker discussed these in detail and showed that they enabled the boilers to pro- duce an overload quantity of steam that would be simply out of the ques- ton with hand stoking, and that fur thermore the burning of the coal was enormously more complete and eco nomical than by hand stoking. The Taylor stoker feeds the coal from un- derneath, and thus every particle of gas passes through a bed of tremen- dously hot coke and is given a chance to burn to the last degree.
 The speaker then spoke upon the question of recripcating engines and turbines, and boiler overloads. Mod- ern industrial needs are steadily rais- ing the overload problem and the de- mand Is for boilers of enormous horse power and efficiency. He also discuss ed the question of the best kind of fire grate and the reasons therefor, and was liberally peppefed with ques~ tions by his listeners

Former 0rganist
 Dead In His Home
w. R. MORGAN, ONCE WE'LL KNOWN IN MUSICAL CIRCLES,
 SUDDENLY STRICKEN.

William R. Morgan. for many years organist at the Olivet Congregational church, and of late engaged in giving lessons in vocal and instrumental music. was found dead at his board ing place the home of Ebert J. Odell. Park avenue, near Capitol avenue, fate yesterday. MT. Morgan had been dead probably 24 hours, when found. Medical Examiner s. M. Garlick satis- fled himself that death was due to natural causes. Morgan was un- usually corpulent, and suffered from heart trouble.
 MT. Morgan possessed a tenor voice of unusual timbre, and when younger often entertained by stimulating the voice of soprano singer. He de- lighted in music of all sorts, was ver- satile as an instrumentalist, and in his younger days was eagerly sought as an entertainer. Of late he had lived more in retirement, and derived from his teaching small revenue. Surviving him are a sister. Mrs. Emma Weeks, in Sport Hill and a niece, the wife of Deputy Sheri6 Lewis Davis of Plattsville.

TO DETERMINE
 HIGH SPOOL SITE TOMORROW NIGHT
Educational Board Invites City
 Attorney to Conference
Lyon Terrace the Home of New School-Hurd Property May be Condemned

With view to taking final steps towards securing the Lyon Terrace site for the proposed new High School. the Board of Education will meet in special session at the City Hall to- morrow evening, with City Attorney John S. Pullman present to direct the procedure towards securing the site.
 The proposed site extends from Col den Hill to Congress streets. fronting on Lyon Terrace. There are three owners of the pieces of property. Col. T. l.. Watson owns the strip fronting on Lyon Terrace, from street to street. The family of the late Major Michael west. on Golden Hill street, and Frank W. Hurd owns the next adjoining property.
 The price fixed by Col. Watson is $31, ,000. That by the Kelly interests is $20,000. which Is deemed reasonable. and the Hurd people want $56,0o0. The last figure is regarded as exorbitant. but the board is not yet decided what steps to take towards condemnation proceedings.
 One plan is to take the rear of the Hurd property, leaving the house with a lot 150 feet deep. Another is to acquire a strip of the property of the NaCuduleI W WnecieF uolTS, WHICH IS west of the Hurd strip. The Hurd property, like the Watson property, runs from street to street. There is doubt among the members whether the lot is deep enough for the most satisfactory type of school. without more depth than that afforded by the Hurd property.
 The board reported after several trips to other cities that 1t favored the Paterson type of construction most of all. This is more the so-called box type, with assembly hall in the center of the structure and the school room { in the structure built up on the four sides of the assembly hall.
 The Lyon Terrace site. however, is better adapted for the type the com missioners studied in Albany. In fact, without part of the Wheeler property the box construction can not be carried out in full.
 Before instituting condemnation pro- ceedings the board must first seek to make a regular purchase of the prop arty involved. It Is for legal g'uid- ance in this matter that City Attorney Pullman has been asked to sit in at the conference tomorrow evening.
 The board has practically abandon ed plans for other sites. for the senti- ment in the board was found to be so strongly in favor of the Lyon Ter race piece that opposition was aban- doned.

Governor Asked
 To Favor Blood Test For Equines
Glanders Discussion Pursued by Dr. Atwood, Whose Charges Against Averill Failed
Especial from United Press )

New Haven, March 7-The gland CTS discussion that resulted in charges of neglect of duty and inefficiency be- ing preferred by Dr. Frank Atwood, Commissioner H. O. Averill, was re- opened by Dr. Atwood, today, in a letter to Governor Baldwin. The gov- ernor decided against the local veter- mary in the Averill case. pr. Atwood now makes some recommendations to Governor Baldwin.
 Since a horse may have glahders long before certain symptoms appear and may transmit the disease to other horses and to human beings, Dr. At. wood wants the governor to support the "blood test" which, 1t is claimed, will uncover glanders before the sym- toms appear. This test, said Dr. Alt mary surgeons of Great Britain, Can ada, and America. He wants Cover nor Baldwin to order it used by the Connecticut Commissioner on Domes' tic animals.
 "Glanders can never be eradicated from Connecticut said pr. Atwood unless the recommendations of the United States Bureau of Animal Illus bandry, United States Department of Agriculture and others, are follow ed. These recommendations have been accepted by nearly every state in the union except Connecticut, have been accepted by the United States Livestock Sanitary Association, the American Veterinary Medical Associa- ton, the Connecticut State Veterinary Medical Association and long list of others
 Commissioner Averill is follower of the school of veterinary medicine which waits for the appearance of symptoms before killing a glanders horse.

Special Strike
 Prayers In All English Churches
Especial from United Press. ],

k\0PSC4dA lTO" OulL6Q FTeSS.) London, March 7.-Settlement of
 the coal strike is prevented only by
 the uncompromising attitude of the
 South Wales operators. Despite this
 fact, the Premier and officers of the
 miners union were confident. today, that the men would be back at work
 before the end of the next week. The Welsh mine owners insist that, if they were compelled to pay minimum
 wage they would be put out of busi-
 ness. The union leaders disputed this
 and, today, presented the premier proved the operators were wrong. Conferences have been continued, today. Pressure from their fellow unionists is producing a subduing eff feet on the mine workers. They req lize the hardship being imposed on all trades affected by the widespread shutting down of all factories and many steamship and railway lines. While maintaining outward and of ficial1y a steadfast attitude that they will insist on their demands, it is known that they have expressed a determination to the Premier,to com promise if they can possibly do so. Knowledge of this attitude has result ed in the Premier bringing pressure to bear in South Wales, on the own CTS, who are not represented here by a committee.
 Special prayers will be said in all of the churches in England and Wales. next Sunady, for the settle
 ment of the strike.
 Many communities are now feeding hundreds who are destitute because of the shutting down of their places of employment. Appeals have been issued by the mayor of a large num- Der of cities urging the strictest economy on the part of all citizens. Tn addition. many of the cities are turning off the street lights at 10 o'clock in the evening, in order to husband the supply of gas coal and to protect themselves from being plunged into darkness.
