On spectral icebergs drifting here and there,

To the unwary stranger passing by.
gallant vessel. homeward bound,
Proudly spurns the rushing waves
Without the hungry sea asks tell,
Within is sound of reyelry
And the rythm of gay dance music
Why should any shadow rest
Upon the brightness Of that perfect hour
Does not their good ship ride,
Impregnable, invincible upon the sea.
Bidding defiance to the forces of nature?
But, aias the demon, Disaster hovers near
And no sooner is the gauntlet outward flung
Than she, with wild, exultant cry,
Waves il high above the doomed ship.

Suspended breathand then
spark of terror leaping out
a spark that quickly spreads and grows
into all pervasive flame:
And lips that but a moment since
Had uuaffed the wine of life
Must shift the cup in brief hour
And drink the lees Of death.
Amid the darkness OF that hour
Death did not walk the decks alone
With him the Son OF God kept pace
And strengthened every trembling soul.

A. A. Denton and son Louis
Denton returned Friday from
Washington, D. c., where they
went on a business visit during

were impressed with the con

through as regards the agricul-
tural appearance. Their route
lay through the central states OF
the Union, the ones that have
been upheld for their agricultural
possibilities and achievements,
and both men were more than
surprised at The appearances

scented. Of course, while this sea-

NATURALIZATION LAWS
Misunderstanding is General
Throughout State----Judge
A. H. Reds Opinion Civ
en---Many Deprived of Bal

en---Many Deprived of Bal.
lot this Year.
"The new naturalization laws
do NOT go into effect until after
the fall election this year. Per
sons who have declared their in.
tention of becoming citizens
that is those who have their first
papers, may vote at both the
spring and fall elections. After
December of this ytar only those
persons who have been granted
the rights of full citizenship NAV
vote. Those desiring to vote in
1913 must take out their second
papers before December, and to
have application heard at the
December term of circuit court,
application for citizenship must
be made ninety days previous to
the holding of court"
The foregoing, clipped from one
of our exchanges, is typical of an
article that is now appearing in
many of the state papers. A per-
usal of the law on the subject of
naturalization will convince one
of the error in the above para
graph. In a letter from Judge
Reid the correct Interpretation of
the law is given for the benefit of
those who are not vet citizens of
the United States. He says:
Only those persons of foreign
birth who declared their inten-
tons to become citizens prior to
December 1st. 1908 will be en-
titled to vote without final nat
uralization papers until Decen-
Der 1st, 1912" This decides
that those persons who have
taken out their first papers since
December 1st. 1908 are not
allowed to vote this year at any
of the elections or at any of the
elections until final papers are
secured. This ruling will prevent
many from casting the ballot
this wear that have done so other
wears.
