ONLY GOD Is GREAT.

A certain pasha, dead these thousand years,
once from his harem fed in sudden tears.
And had this sentence on the citys gate
Deeply engraved: "Ony God is great"
so these four words above the cItys noise
Hung like the accents of an angels voice.
And evermore from the high barbacan
Saluted each returning
Lost is that cty's glory; every gust
Lifts with crisp leaves, the unknown pashas dust
And all is ruin save one wrinkled gate
Whereon is written, "only God is great"

HEAVY PENALTIES PROVIDED
IN THE LOCAL OPTION LAW
Fine and Imprisonment for Persons Who Sell
Liquor in Districts That
Go Dry

Now that the election on the question
.of license or no license Of the sale of man
ufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors
IN Delaware is a little more than a month
distant, much interest Is being manifested
In the provisions Of the local option law.
Not only win it prohibit the sale Of mtox-
icating liquors in any district in which a
majority Of the votes is cast against liz
cense, but II also will prevent the manu-
facture Of Intoxicating liquors in such
district
While the entire state Is 70 vote on the
license question. the result is to be ascer-
tained and applied TO the constitutional
districts, OF which there are four.
Wilmington comprises one district, rural
New Castle county another district, Kent
county another, and Sussex county an
other
1t is possible for one district to go dry"
and another to go wet by this division.
should the votes be cast that way. The
general intent Of the local option law is
set forth in Section /, which reads:
THAT on the Tuesday next after the
first Monday of November in the year OF
our Lord one thousand nine hundred and
seven, in each Of the several districts Of
the State mentioned I'm Section 2. of Ar
ticle Mi Of the Constitution Of the Stale
OF Delaware, the question, whether the
manufacture and sale OF intoXicat ng
liquors shall be licensed or prohibited
within the limits Of said several Districts,
shall be submitted to the vote Of the quail
ihed electors Of said several districts In
every such district in which there shall
be, upon said vote, a majority against IL
cense, no person. firm or corporation
shall thereafter manufacture or sell spir-
ituous, vinous or malt liquor except for
medicinal or sacramental purposes within
said district, until at a subsequent sub
mission of such question, a majority of
votes shall be cast in said district for
| license"
! Heavy Penalties Probided.
Heavy penalties are provided IN the law
for the punishment Of persons selling
liquor Illegally, in any district that may
go dry. Fine and imprisonment both arc
included In the penalties. as the following
extract aom the law shows:
ANY person or persons. or any agent,
officer or servant Of any firm, company.
association or corporation who shall vio-
late any OF the provisions Of this section
shall be deemed guilty Of misdemeanor.
and upon conviction thereof shall for the

first offense. be fined not less than fifty
dollars nor more than two hundred dol
lars and the cost Of prosecution, and
shall be imprisoned for a term not ex-
ceeding SIX months; and for each and
every subsequent offense shall be fined not
less than one hundred dollars nor more
than hve hundred dollars and the cost Of
prosecution, and shall be imprisoned for
term not less than three months nor
more than one year.
About Registration.
There seems to be a general mistaken
impression about the registration of voters
on October y and Is. Many persons, par
ticularly down the State, have an idea
that everybody will have to register anew
in order to vote on the license question.
Such is not the case. If a voter is already
registered, and has not moved from one
district 10 another since registering last
year. he will not have TO register again
this year A voter who was registered for
the November election last year and who
has moved into another district since
then viii have TO become transferred on
the books, II he did not do so for the city
election in June. Persons not registered
who desire 10 vote, and persons becoming
first-voters this year, will have to register
if they wish to cast ballot on the license
question. The law provides for the regis
tration of 1.-THE names Of all persons ap-
plying to them who may have become
qualified TO vote since the day of the last
General Election, or who may become
qualified to vote by the day Of such special
election, or who, being otherwise qualified
to vote, did not become registered pr.or
TO said last general election"
Style Of Ballots.
The same registration and election Of.
hcers as served at the November election
last year or the Juno city election in
Wilmington are 10 ofnclate for registra
tion and the local option election. but
power is given the department Of cleo
tions or the Governor to MI vacancies.
The ballots are TO be printed on white
paper six inches long and three inches
wide. On the left side of a line down the
middle of the ballot are to be the words: 4:
For License" and on the right OF the
line the words. Against License" The
voter shall mark with a cross in the
space he desires TO vote. The ballots shall
contain the endorsement OF the election
clerks on the hack. The votes shall be
canvassed by the Judges Of the State
Courts in the same manner as they are
canvassed at regular elections.

BOOK REVIEW

Pleasing indeed was the work Of
reading for approval or otherwise
George Barr McCutcheon's latest book
THE Daughter Of Anderson Grow" for
which Dodd Mead & CO.. New York
publishers, are responsible. The OPEN
ing chapters of the book introduce
some delightful characters, anyone of
whom may be met with i'm real coun-
try life. especially in such towns as
old Tinkletown, around which the
scenes OF the story revolve. Tnkle-
town, be il real or a hgment of the
authors mind, must be a delightful
place, but no more delightfully."- than any
town Of Revolutionary ideals and OBJ
iects. There's Anderson Crow, the
real detective proud Of his tin badge
Of authority, who figures with grim i'm
portance in the book; there's the town
rake, Alf Reesling; Harry Squires, the
town reporter, who. like all the others
of his craft in country towns makes Of
himself the kindred subject of infor-
nation Of everything under the sun;
there's the hero, Jack Barnes and his
sweetheart, Marjory Brewster who
pass through some hair breadth adven-
lures before bliss is theirs; and other
delightsome characters all of whom
play their part interestingly in this
Tnkletown romance. McCutcheon
added another niche TO his long list
of successful books when he put to
press THE Daughter of Anderson
Crow" Readers of good books, now
that bookreading time is approaching
should list this one. The illustrations
ARE Characteristic of the people who
figure in the story and are by Martin
Justice. Price of the book is $3.50.

PRAISES FOR
RALPH WHlTENACK

The current issue of the consular and
trade report Of the Bureau of Manufac-
.uries OF the Department of Commerce
and Labor gives unusual prominence to
Ralph c. whitenack, a wnmingtonian
who is now financial adviser to the Prince
of Baroda in India. The report says:
There is expected to be quite an in
crease in the industries OF Baroda at an
early date. and one that will cali for good
quantities of foreign materials. The state
has employed foreign experts in vagious
lines ON many occasions. but has recently
added a new official known as the
Economic Adviser TO the State Of Bar
oda.' The gentleman selected, Mr.. r. c.
Whisenack, is an American. and will have
charge Of the work OF exploiting the re-
sources and developing and encouraging
the industries of the country. Hs first
work has been 10 set capitalists to organ
ize a bank under the state patronage
Heretofore high rates of interest have
been charged the small dealers by the
native money lenders. and the wealthy
class have kept their money In Bombay
The bank has been organized with 20
lakhs capital, but II the present plans a-e
carried through will have capital Of so
lokhs Of rupees which Is over Si6O0,Ooo.
Moreover. its head bank at Baroda will
have branches at Ahmemabad and Bonn
bay. According to the custom on which
most Indian banks are organized, only
portion Of the capital stock viii be called
in and the remainder left with the stock
holders as a reserve. This bank is ex-
pected to stimulate trade all around.
British investors fight shy Of indep,ndent
native states. and heretofore no bank
could hope 10 be a success IN Baroda. for
the reason that the law gave tax collect
ors the right 10 tax funds and property
wherever found without process of civil
law but the organizers Of the new bank
have persuaded the Durbar to change this
law TO follow the British law of civil pre-
cedure"

that the leased wire men, that is, those under con-
tract will not be called out even as 'war meas

men would not respond to such a call which
would cause them to violate contracts, and in the
second place such measure would not end the
strike. The strike itself has been badly managed

Delay is the cry of the men accused of grating
in connection with the erection of the Pennsyl-
vana State Capitol building. The trials are to be
put off until after the election and it is expected
that when the time Of the present postponement
shall have expired, further delay will be secured
The accused will make desperate fight to escape
conviction, and as the old machine appears to be
recovering from the hard whacks it received, the
chances of no punishment for the looting are ex.

ticle declared that in Pennsylvania, politically is
"a State of fools, governed by knaves" and there

There has been an outburst of crime among the
Italian residents of Berks county, Pa, and priest
very properly announced that he would aid the
authorities in suppressing crime among his peo-
pie at the same time urging his parshioners to
be law-abiding. An Italian-American newspaper
takes the priest to task for this attitude, declaring
that he ought to stand by" the Italians. This
is a surprising position The ones who should en-
deavor to suppress crime among races are the
leaders of those races. In this country we should
be all Americans first and not hyphenated-Ameri-
