Remember those in homes OF glass

But talk of men who sin,
You'd better start at home,

Or tell the world he lied,

RATHER HAMMER

WILMINGTON, Del. Aug. 2. -
Upton Sinclair upon leaving the

on them.
1t was afr II O'Clock last night
when the portals of the workhouse
changed after admitting Sinclair and
his associates. AT o'clock this
morning they were unceremoniously
routed out. Two keepers, each armed
with a rife, led them to the rock
pile Here they received hammers
and were told to go to work. Incl
dentally each was told the rocks
had to be broken to a certain size
and as proof that this order was
not made to be broken there was a
screen through which the rocks had
to pass after the hammers had done
their work.
True to their original intentions,
the Ardenites did not eat any pris-
on food, but tonight when they were
welcomed back to Arden with a
brass band. they had a banquet sup
piled by the ether single takers who
were fortunate enough to escape the
vigilance of Brown.
While Upton Sinclair looks upon
his incarceration. because he would
not pay a four-dollar fine for playing
tennis on Sunday. as a huge joke to-
night, he declared he was about to
don his crusading clothes for the
purpose of cleaning up Delaware y
Here is what he says cannot be

sale over the public roads, no dealer
may expose goods for sale
