Secty. Daniels Pleased
With Punishment for Drunkenness.

Secretary Daniels notes with deep
satisfaction the action of Recorder II
e. Pickersgill, of Perth Amboy, N. j..
in disposing of case of one John Ko-
pach, who had been arraigned for be-
ing drunk and disorderly. Kopach in
formed the court that he desired TO be
freed. as he intended to join the navy.
Recorder Pickersgill held that the gov
ernment service would be better off
without his services,and sentenced him
to thirty days confinement in default
of the payment of the fine of $40.
Recorder Pickersgill understands
that the navy is not reformatory in
stitution, and it is hoped that his ac-
tion may come to the attention of any
public officials who may still adhere to
that antiquated view We regret to say
that there are many judges who are
still ignorant of the fact that the navy
and army are not reformatories, and
that all known bad characters are
strictly barred out.

are lots of little chaps who are
greatly interested in the movement,

Many New Names On List

With the conclusion of of the
registration of voters in the various
precincts of the county yesterday
encouraging reports have been
brought in to the democratic leaders
from most of the rural sections of

IN most of the precincts Of the

instances quite large, in the placing
of new names on the books and in
striking off names of persons no longer
eligible to vote in their old precincts.
There will be another sitting of the
registration officers in the four wards
of Annapolis and throughout the
county, next Tuesday. However at
this sitting no new names will be
placed on the lists, the whole day
being given over to revision of the

Bringing Up Father
AT the Colonial Saturday

The real novelty in Bringing ur
Father is found in the fact that the
cast was selected entirely from vau.
deville performers. Indeed the entire
play is simply an elongated vaudeville
bill, with pretty scenic environments
and chorus of pert and pretty beau
ties to give the thing zest.
The idea is original with the pro-
ducer who somehow seems to antici-
pate just what theatregoers like best.
1t is therefore up to you John" to
Hike down" to the Colonial and Sc.
cure couple of sits" for Bring
ing up Father. on Saturday, Oct. 9th.
YDu know how the crowd always
is at good show so take this advice
and get your seats early.
