Merciful, generous chIyalrous. free.
Not yet, we know, have Thy children

Into the brotherhood Heaven has planned,
But Thou wilt garner where Thou hast sown
Plentiful haryests in every land.
We thank Thee, Lord, for life's dearest
prize,
Love that abideth while life abides;
That lighiens the way to the distant skies,
Guiding us fairly whatee r betides.
Love hath its sorrows, we know, MS deep
As its fountains of joy where we drink at

Yet Love lives on past the dreamless sleep
OF the dear ones out OH the quiet hill.
We thank, Thee, Lord, for Thy last gift,
Death
Making for all OF our ills amends:
That gently sewers the fainting breath,
Giving us over again to our friends
The grave is low and darksume room;
Yet shall we enter with never fear
And rest at peace in its rayless gloom,

A POLITICAL ROW IN KENT
Over an Attempt to Strike Names From
the Registration Lists.
THE CLAIMS OF BOTH PARTIES
Beniah Watson and John B..
Wharton Arrested.

The Democrats of Kent county have
discovered a scheme of the Union Re-
publicaus to have large number OF
Democratic names stricken from the
registration list, and as consequence
ex- United States District Attorney
Beniah Watson and John b. Wharton
have been arrested and are now out on
bail for their alleged part in the matter.
According to one statement OF the
affair, on Saturday a few minutes before
the registration closed in the First and
Third districts of East Dover hundred,
couple Of worthless negroes filed an
affidavit in the First district, and per-
haps in the Third district, claiming
that log of the most prominent Demo-
Gratis in the hundred were illegally
registered, without giving any reasons,
and asking that they be struck from
the lists. This was done so that the
Board Of Registration could strike them
off the list and thus prevent their
voting.
1t was learned Immediately that this
had been done, and certain number
of Democrats appeared before the board
and by threats and force prevented the
register from taking any action in re-
gard to 1t.
Meantime, charges had been made
against the negroes for perjury and
they were arrested. On being arrested
they squealed on the promoters of the
enterprise, and stated that Beniah
Watson, ex- United States district at
torney, and John B. Wharton, a lead
ing Republican worker, had inspired
their act Beniah Watson was imme-
diately arrested on a charge of suborn-
ing to perjury, and also. it is believed,
for conspiracy, and Wharton was Mon
day arrested on two charges. Both
are out on bail.
The grand jury is in session and the
men will be presented for indictment.
Meantime the Republicans are trump
ing up all kinds Of charges against the
Democrats in Kent county to offset the
charges made against these two men,
in the belief that there will be some
sort of a compromise.
Robert Polk and Harry Sullivan,
both colored, are the names given of
the men who fled the sffidayits. Some
of the men, whose names it was desired
to strike from the lists are said to
have been voting in East Dover hun
dred for more than 80 years. Polk is
said to have stated that Watson and
Wharton promised him and Sullivan
money for swearing to the aifidavits.
On the other hand, it is claimed
that the Democrats were preparing to
strike off Republican nsmes in some OF
the hundreds and that the Republican
action OF Saturday was as an offset to
this. According to Republican, il
was an attempt to match the striking of
OF Republican names in Kent county al
the registration for the last election,
when, according to him, it was helt
that there was no power above th,
registration officers to compel them t,
restore the names stricken off.

THE REGISTRATION.
An Enormous Gain Since the Last Voting
Time.

There has been an enormous gain in
the registration of voters in the various
wards of the city this fall. This shows
that the voters are very deeply stirred
on the campaign issues, for one thing,
while large part of the gain is attrib-
utable to the. fact that all the new
corners who came with the new fac
tories, are privileged to vote this fall,
having lived in the state over year.
The heaviest gain in any ward is in
the First ward, where there are 129
more voters this fall than were record
ed last spring. The Third comes in
second with q gain of los, the Fourth
third with forty eight and the Second
last with but ten.
Here are the fignres up to noon
today: Total in the first precinct First
ward, 1913; last spring, 285. Second
precinct. $50; last spring, 359. Second
ward. $40; last spring, $50. Third
ward, 702; last spring, 597. Fourth
ward, $50; last spring, 491.
