FROM HOOVER.

Secretary Hoover says that there is immediate need of lowering of rail- road rates. He referred especially to rates on grain, and asserts that if those rates are not lowered we shall be obliged to rewrite the whole in dustrial geography of the United States. The present rate on a bushel York is 30 cents," he says, ''as against 10 cents for grain from Argentina to New York"
 This single fact is enough to show that there is absolute backing for what Secretary Hoover says. But we are in the habit of believing asser- tions made by Secretary Hoover, whether he happens to cite proof or not.
 So rates must be lowered. How it is to be done remains to be seen. But We may have this satisfaction. We have a man in the cabinet who re- cognizes this necessity: his position enables him to have great influence in thelowering of rates, although" he cannot do it alone. and, what is most encouraging of all. we believe and have had proof that he is a man who tries to obtain the accomplishment of who is not inclined to be goverened by what has been called in political circles "Expediency."

YALE's PRESIDENT TALKS


 today, said President-elect Angell of Yale university last evening, is Pre- serving the values of q liberal educa- ton while gaining some of the en- which characterizes the better pro- fessional and vocational schools"
 Tn a few words the new president of the great university has told his hosts. the Alumni of the university. and has told us the ideal of the modern university.
 What good does college do a boy?" is asked many times by the suc- cessful man who has never gained a degree. If the result could be ob- tained as suggested by President An sell the reply would be simple.
 The advantages of a liberal educa- ton are appreciated more and more by men as they advance in life from so-callcd station to stations more lofty. As a man gains associates among thinking men. friends among those whose discussions are not limit cd to the ordinary routine affairs of life and whose thoughts are not all centered on the ground and the dol lar. the advantage and the joy of a good liberal education becomes to him great inspiration.
 But of practical advantage. as must be seen by the most materialistic, there should be, gained from that col lego education an enthusiasm for the matter of the life work to which a this. somewhat practical and special ized Iendency, a college education in- clines to be chiefly of theoretical and social value. The remarks of the self-made man. of no college educa- l ton, are pertinent if the enth usiasm to which MT. Angell refers is not in- ] spircd by this liberal education Yale's new president strikes a fine j note in his reference to athletics; nor 1 is the note so fine" that it is lacking in feasibility. The attitude of college faculties. to call things by their real names. has always been oppressive where athletics were concerned. This attitude has not been reflection of the personal feelings of many of the members of the faculty, but has grown up from fear lest athletics become too prominent part Of the college life. Some faculties have had the sub conscious feeling that men came ] there only to study: that their par ents expected they would study; and that the faculty must see ,o 1t that | nothing interfered with that work that faculty should be aloof from tho play of the men and should guard against it's growth-which would be great enough in any event ! rather. than influence that growth. pr. AnEelI takes a different posi- : ton. Ho believes that athletics should be viewed as a part of the college work. and that it is almost as

AT HOME.

 Asked if she found it difficult to achieve a 'homey" atmosphere in the White House, Mrs. Harding re- piled: Not at all. I feel as if l had lived here all my life. There are flowers everywhere, and wherever l find flowers I am at home." Whenever the daisies dance with joy, Or the lsunfiowers greet their god, Or the morning-glory. like boy, Climbs up with a drowsys nod, OCT the portico. to the lattice-dome, To the concert of the bee Wherever that is. then count me It is sacred ground to me. In the golden West, or the sunny
 South,
 Or the East. or the North afar, Where the blushing bud bucks up its
 mouth
 For a kiss from the morning star, Be it hyacinth or daffodil, Or flower of low degree, My hearts a-joy with a human
 thrill
 And that's home, sweet home to
 me. When the day is young, or the day
 is old, When the wind from the garden
 blows A perfume rare, and the sunlight
 bold
 Finds place in the heart of a rose; Then I'll not care for the fieeting
 hours,
 Whatever my fate may be; For the silent music of the flowers Is the breath of home to me.
 ENVOY In the shine of sun. or the screen of
 showers, Wherever the way may be. If it leads to a place that is rich in flowers,
 It's home, sweet home to me.

 Democratic prestige was badly bumped at the spring election, the concussion being felt in five-sixths of the city. Five wards were won by republicans and the oly solace left to the democrats was in the sixth where the G. O. P. entertained no hope of victory.
 Chairman Erwin of the republican town committee is naturally happy at the result and his ebullition ay explain in part his statement made to the press when the votes had been count ed. He predicted that the sixth ward would go republican next spring. Per haps he did not intend that this asser- tion should be accepted literally by newspaper readers because it is un- derstood that. political statements will stand on a fifty per cent discount in America. It is true that the democratic victory in the sixth ward was not by an overwhelming margin and this fact may have inspired Mr. Erwin s prophecy, But it will be many years before the sixth ward leaves the party of Thomas Jefferson and puts the en- tire city in the G. O. P. zone.
 Such a turnover is not beyond the realm of possibility, however, and the democrats cannot afford to remain in active. A few years ago it would be safely said that the fifth ward would always remain steadfast to democrcy. Then came period when the demo- crats were not certain of their ground and finally the republicans scored their initial victory. The fifth ward was at one time solidly democratic but 1t can be counted out of the democratic fold unless the leaders of the party make unusual efforts to re- claim it.
 The defection of the fifth ward from the democratic party is an ex- ample of what good salesmanship can do when backed by sound or ganization. By exercising their gray matter the republicans began a cam paign of peaceful penetration. ' They spent money in the ward and they used good judgment in the sell ection of candidates. By public ral- lies and by personal missionary work they succeeded in convincing the voters that their hopes lay with the G. O. P. although it seems to make little difference, after all, what party is in power locally, as the suc- cess of administrations has usually depended on the man in the mayor alty chair rather than on his politi- cal affiliations. The harvest of this work is seen n the result of this weeks election when the republicans carried the ward by a margin which removed all doubt concerning the in- tention of the voters.
 An attempt to peacefully pene- trate" the sixth ward can now be ex- pected, if it is not already under way. To the uninitiated, it would

|, seem that this was a waste of effort and money. But not so. Local elec- tions count for little, but the lead CTS cannot expect to receive any plums from the tree or have any prestige with the powers of the party unless they can deliver the vote when state and national candidates are seeking election. Possession of the fifth or sixth ward means noth- ing to the republicans, so far as their majority in the common coun- cil is concerned. What they want and what they intend to fight for is complete control of the city for state and federal elections. New Britain must be brought into line so that , there will never be. any doubt of which. way it's majority falls. This situation is not peculiar to 1 New Britain as these tactics are pursued by both of the major politi- cal parties in most cities of moder- ate size. Keeping the boys in line" during local elections is only pre- Hminary to marching them to polls en masse when a state or national ticket is being voted on. Politicians who deserve to be classified under such a heading always have their

 Apparently New Britain republi- cans have hitched their wagon to a star and intend to capture the whole city, leaving not even a crumb to crumbling democracy. At least this is the interpretation that could be put on MT. Erwin's announcement that the sixth ward would be the last link in a solid republican chain next spring.

 As a result of the hearing a great deal of beneficial publicity has been given to the home and it is believed that a substantial appropriation will be voted to improve conditions there. The DulIOlnSS Wn1Cn COHlpTlSe lHc home have been adjudged unsafe for human habitation because of the fire hazard. Such a decision comes from state officials who have inspected the home and who express the conviction that it is an unsafe place to house children, especially those who have not the use of all their limbs.
