No. 4O--Leadership in Congress.

ways and means committee, which is
the committee that drafts the tariff
and revenue measures.
This rule was departed from when
Representative Nicholas Longworth
became floor leader and Representa-
tive William r. Green OF Iowa re-
manned as chairman Of the ways and
means committee. 1t also was de-
parted from when the recent Repub-
lican caucus by acciamation selected
Representative John Q. Tilson of Con-
necticut to be floor leader, succeed
ing Representative Longworth, who had
just been chosen to be Speaker In the
Sixty-ninth Congress.
Party leadership in the House is
even more essentially necessary than
In the Senate. because there are more
than four times as many members
and a larger number OF undigested
legislative proposals constantly press
ing for action. In the Senate, too,
the vast majority are veterans, while
In the House there are always restive
and ambitious youngsters constantly
causing trouble by obstreperous tao
tics. There Is tendency, also. to
feel that the House can take a chance
on letting some ill-considered meas
ure get by because the Senate will
catch II later.
Representative Tilson, in defining
the policy of his regime as party
leader in the House, exposed what
has heretofore been the particular
weak spot. He said ne wanted more
members to know more about more
bills than ever before" For many
years the Republicans in the House
rallied behind the late Representa-
tive James r. Mann of Illinois be-
cause they knew that he knew more
about any measure that came before
the House than any other member.
Says Teamwork Is Necessary.
In the next Congress the antithesis
of this system will be tried out
This is not a one-man job" Repre-
sentative Tilson told his party mates
in the conference. "Of course, l can
move a call of the House or to ad-

POISON PLOT PROBED.
Candy Sent to Teacher Caused Sc
rious Illness.

MOUNT HOLLY, n. j., March IL
Postal authorities and local police are
investigating an alleged poisoned
candy plot. in which Miss Katherine
V. Thompson, a school teacher, and
several others were made ill, it be-
came known yesterday. The candy,
tied with ribbon and bearing the
stamp of well known manufacturer,
was received by Miss Thompson
through the mail last week. The mail

been learned, and Miss Thompson
said she was unable to throw any
light on the case.

journ all by myself. but to really do
the jib right teamwork Is required"
He explained that one way he had
long had In mind to get real team
work was to induce his colleagues to
each and every one assume the duty
of studying up on each measure be-
fore 1T comes up in the House. He
said he hopes to form something of
an organization to do this work
thoroughly without imposing too
much on any one.
Representative Tilson urged his
Republican colleagues to make every
effort to agree on essentials. He
pledged that when the occasion
arises when the decision of the ma
jority Is contrary to his own best
judgment on any particular matter
1t will make no difference as far as
his official acts as leader are con-
cerned. 1.-The machinery of the
House shall be used to the best of
my ability to carry out the will of
the majority or any policy that may
be finally agreed upon" he said.
He emphasized that then he would
be representing his colleagues ana
not himself. He urged that every
Republican strive to the best of his
ability to work with other Repub-
licans for the best interests of the
party which, in our judgment as
Republicans, is also for the best in
terests of the entire country
Mr.. Garrett Democratic Leader.
The Democratic leader in the next
Congress is Representative Finis J.
Garrett of Tennessee, who served in
similar position during the Con-
gress just closed Under his leader
ship the Democratic party had
adopted a definite program and policy
to sharply define what the party
stands for in legislation, so that there
may be no doubt of issues In the next
national campaign.
The work of the party leaders,
while Immediately concerned with
the passage of legislation from day
to day in conformity with the party
program as modified by changing
conditions and necessary compro-
misses, looks always to what will be
of party advantage in the next gem
eral election.

TWO GOOD MEN
PASS ON

The incXorable march of time has
taken from the scene two men who
have been identified with the prog
ress of New Britain for many years.
Thomas w. O'Connor and William
r. Hartford were both natives of
the city and enjoyed n wide bust
ness and personal acquaintanceship.
To say they were highly esteemed
is but mild tribute to their per-
sonalities.
Mr.. O'Connor was identified with
several lines of business and ulti-
mately became a foremost rcaltor
and did his share in participating
in the rapid realty expansion of the
city within recent years. Mr.. Hart
mans talents led him to be a bull
wark of Republican politics in the
second ward and he was a political
leader of prominence up to a dec
ade ago, when he moved to New
Haven. In spite of his leaving the
city at that time, he was still re-
garded as n New Britain boy" and
his death is as widely regretted in
this city as in New Haven.

ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES
WIN NEW VICTORY

We have long heard it said that
this is an ago of electricity; but
years after this was a general con-
clusion steam locomotives h cl d
their own and arc still on the job.
Electricity has had its triumph, but
it has been only a partial one along
the railroad tracks There has been
some "electriflcation" in which
the New Haven railroad, between
New York and New Haven, has
done a notable share; but most of
the trains the country over arc still
being hauled by the odd reliable"
steam locomotives.
The news from Virginia, how
ever, has been something TO hcarten
the friends of identification. The
Virginian railroad n line built TO
haul coal from West Virginia 10 the
seaboard at Norfolk - has eleCtri-
fed at least one Of its steep noun
tain grades and as a test permitted
| electric locomotives and steam loco
motives to show what they could
haul in a competition. The electric
| locomotives hauled mile long
freight train up one Of the steepest
grades in America twice as fast as
the steam locomotives. Both electric
and steam locomotives were the
most modern and heaviest made,
the Virginian railway being notable
for the size Of its monsters of the
rail.
Every year secs additional mile
age added to the electrified total,
/ but it must he admitted the percen-
tagc of electrified track remains
I small, and exists only where special
| conditions are favorable. The Now
]
| Havcn's elcCtrihCation was adopted
mainly because trains had to be
hauled by electricity into New York
anyhow: yet both the New York
Central and the Pennsylvania have
electrified their lines only a COM
paraiivcIy short distance outside OF
the metropolis. The Pennsylvania
has electrified suburban service on
one Of its lines out of Philadelphia,
The Baltimore & Ohio has had
electrified service for n generation
through the tunnel travcrsing the
heart OF Baltimore - something
that the Pennsylvania with profit

SCHOOL CHILDREN
AND RELIGION

The increase Of school pupils who
will take advantage OF the possibili-
ties OF religious instruction under
the jurisdiction Of their respective
churches indicates that the plan TO
give time for religious education In
the church schools is TO meet with
success.
The second canvass OF pupils, Just
completed, has showed a gratifying
improvement over the first canvass
of last May At that time 2,912 pu-
pills from grades B. 4, and were
willing to take the special religious
courses, while in the canvass Of
this month the total from these
grades jumped to 3,347. In May
grades and of the Junior High
school yielded only ECO as willing
TO accept the special instruction;
today there are 1850.
The increased response has been
due to the forceful statement made
re cent thy by Superintendent of
Schools Holmes and possibly to
better cooperation by the churches
involved. Mr.. Holmes stated that
the situation offered a real chal-
lenge 10 the churches" and the
latter evidently have taken 1t up
with vigor. The churches who have
ro-operated with the School Com
!nittee in making possible this re-
,igious innovation in the city are
udcavoring TO meet their RESPONSE
Mites with a wholesome display of
Horgy and enthusiasm.
Religious education for the young
Has two objects: The incubation Of
he basic elements of religion and
he development of the moral re-
sponsibiIity that goes with it, A few
objections have been heard to the
effect that the religious education
plan will subtract time from the
weekly total of school hours; but
this objection loses in force when
it is considered that the time lost"
in this manner is negligible and no
doubt will be m up through
more intensive or increased eff
cheney. The fact that such a large
proportion Of the parents Of chill
dren have signed in favor of the re-
ligious education plan indicates
that it is the will OF this majority
of parents.
