BEATING THE DEVIL
AROUND STUMP

Of course nonpartiSan local
government is the fairest kind Of
local government, and of course it
is the kind of local government
the politician particularly abhors,
since it deprives him of the use
Of the power of the party spirit
with party prejudice and party al
legiance. However, if those per-
sons sincerely DESTROYS of clean
local government will register and
vote locally as members Of the
dominant local party, regardless
of their national political affilia-
tions, they can have a voice in the
nomination and the election of
all local officials; and thus, in eff
feet, give their communities non
partisan government, and make
their own votes effective, which
might otherwise be ineffective.

SAY IT, THEN STOP

SrN bhAAiN ~
How gratifying to listen to an
address which really says some
thing all the way through! Many
talks-especially political talks
are combination of hot air and
academic generalities. The speak
err may wish a certain condition
could be-or wants to make his
hearers believe he does; but in
stead of presenting working
plan, he takes up extended time
in what amounts to nothing more
than wishful, indefinite talking,
the substance Of which could have
been said better in three minutes
than in thirty. Rare is the speak
er who can talk thirty minutes
and not waste twenty-five min
utes. How often have you listen
ed to a speaker rant on and on,
when you could see a number of
excellent places for him to stop?

GIANT APPLES: Dad" Croas-
dell received a box of double red
Delicious from Orville, Wash, so
large that only As were packed to
a bushel box. This made it neces-
sary for him to retail for l 5 cents
for a couple Of giant apples with
out a blemish and entirely too
large for practical purposes. Few
people like to pay more than five
cents for an apple. Mr.. Cross
dell says apples just as fine as
these could be grown in Hender-

ers are letting q great opportun-
ity pass for producing a better
grade of fruit and catering to a

how did it get over the obstacles

INSTITUTE OFFERS
 SCHOLARSHIPS
Connecticut Students Eli= gible for Awards at WOr-
 cester Polytechnic

Worcester, Mass, Dec. 17.-Wor- cester Polytechnic Institute will make available 45 scholarships, hav- ing total value of $20,000, to those members of the 1899 entering class who are students of unusual prom iSe. This is an increase of 10 over year ago, but conforms strictly with the policy of the college to ex- tend its matriculation scholarship assistance without increasing the freshman enrolment, limited several years ago to 180.
 Nineteen of these awards will be open for competition among boys in preparatory school or the senior year of high school who have residence in Connecticut.
 There are 13 awards for $500 each, 5 awards of $400 each, and the Yankee Ingenuity" award of $500 for a native of New England whose project in the computation displays ingenuity of high order.
 The matriculation scholarships will be awarded to those members of the entering class whose char acter, scholastic records, activities, and leadership qualities indicate high promise for success in engineer ing. All applications are to be sent to the Dean of Admissions. The clos ing date for applications is April l, 1889.
 The most important requirement of Yankee Ingenuity" competition is, "the fashioning of a useful object in a novel way from unpromising material" The award was founded in 1928 by Dr. Henry Jones Fuller, graduate of w. P. I. m 1895, son of the Institutes second president. It has been awarded II times, and pre- vious winning projects include 8 bridge, coach model, primary glider, temperature regulator, and boat propeller. It was won in 1888 by Robert Chaffe of Worcester.

 General Assembly
 Here is the way the 1889 session of the Connecticut General As- sembly will line up. The House Speaker will be Walter Howe of Litchfield. Howe is serving his third term in the lower house. He has been chairman of the com- mittee on banks and was a strong factor in framing the compromise small loans interest bill. His elec- tion as speaker will compensate Litchfield County for having had no place on the state ticket.
 Hugh Alcorn, son of the fam- ous Hartford County prosecutor, will be named as Republican ma jority leader. Judge Stanley J. Traceski of New Britain, veteran House clerk, will be reelected to that post. The Republicans will nominate as Republican leader of the state senate.
 Senator Cornelius A. Moylan of Hartford Republican and Socialist candidate will be nominated as President Pro-tem. Republicans have decided to nom- mate Moylan for that post be- cause. by doing so they expect the two Socialists from the city of Bridgeport to vote for him and thus enable the Republicans to or ganize the senate.
 Representative T. Emmett Claire of Kinningly and Repre- sentative Benjamin Tonkonow of Meriden are waging a contest for minority leadership of the house, in other words democratic leader. The odds on my part are on Ton- konow to win the nomination.
 Senator Pierre J. Laramee of Willimantic will be nominated for President Pro-Tem. Senator Jo- seph B. Downes of Norwich will be nominated as the leader.

PILGRIMS STORY
 THEME OF PASTOR
Rev. Dr. John Walker Be- Iieves Many Men Place
 Faith in Force

we hear much about the perSe- cution and oppression of minorities in Europe these days, but through all the ages you will discover that right and justice and faith and wis., ion have always been entrusted to the minoritieS," Rev. Dr. Pohn c. Walker, pastor of the Second Con- gregational Church in his sermon For Christianity Is Not 8 Dream yesterday morning.
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 The American people have yet to learn many of the lessons which the Pilgrim tradition should teach them. As righteous remnant the story of the Pilgrims is one of the great spiritual adventures of mankind and one that can never grow old. All future generations in this land must build upon their foundations. Too seldom do we stop to realize how nobly they wrought or how far in advance of the great majority of the people of their time they proved to be. As you read their history you find again and again a note so dar-
 
 ing that you are astounded.
 In an age of bigotry and intol- erance-and again we see these wretched evils cropping up in the world generally and even in Amer ica-the Pilgrim pastor, John Rob- inSon, in his farewell address before the Pilgrims sailed gave them this confident witness, '@The Lord hath yet more truth and light to break forth out of His Holy Word" No finer doctrine of the leading of the Holy Spirit, no nobler confidence in the providence of God, no sounder, no more hopeful expression of liberal Protestant faith can be found anywhere. Here was pastor and people, who although strong and resolute in their faith, were look ing for the larger truth, the bright- CT light. The way of advance was left open. They hoped to find fresh interpretations and new applications of the Divine Word. God forbid that we in our day should be satisfied with our partial interpretations, our feeble applications of the Gospel. Shame on us that we should be snug and satisfied with ourselves in the light of the witness that those val iant Pilgrims gave in dark and dis nal age.
 It is very disheartening to think that so often the great men of this world, at least the men who fill the positions of greatest responsibility, seem so often to place all their faith in force. How seldom do we find in public men with firm faith that right makes might and reSolute determination to proceed along those lines, come what may. It is all the more encouraging then to find a man like the Honorable Francis B. Sayre. Assistant Secretary of State, stating his faith in fortnight words. In the latest issue of the Federal Council Bulletin we find his saying. The Christian cannot despair. We Christians are prisoners of hope. We believe that the last word does not lie with blind chance or materialism or sectarianism or sin. We believe that the last word lies with God.-- For Christianity is not a dream. It Is Gods revelation of the only way of life that is finally practical. the only way that can satisfy the insist ant needs of human nature. Above all else Christ was a realist. His way actually works. It solves and 1t heals"
