Prepare for Easter BY Prayer
Throughout Con,ing Holy Week,
AdDice Of Washington Pastors

Palm Sunday forecasts the close
OF the Lenten season, and church
members in Washington are urged
by their pastors to observe the week
before Easter in a fitting manner.
"This is time." says tho Rev. J.
Henning Nelms. rector Of the Church
OF the Ascension, 'in which the
Christian seeks to adjust his life on
a worthier basis by laying aside
social pleasures and freqpenting the
House Of Prayer. The best moral
tonic possible Is an Introduction to
ourselves In a well-kept Lent. Then.
and then only, can Easter have any
joyful meaning for u.s."
In a pamphlet. published by the
Church of the Ascension. the fol-
lowing simple rules are given for
the proper observation of Lent:
Approach nearer to Christ, seek
ing to know Him. to love Him and
to obey Him more whole-heartedly.
Conquer the sins of selfishness
and indifference.
Pray more earnestly.
Attend church more regularly and
promptly, absenting yourself only
for such causes as you would feel
sufficient excuse before Him.
Learn self-mastery by denying
yourself some definite luxury, Civ
ing the money saved thereby to
God in the Easter offering.

Prison Inspires Productions
Of Spanish Mouelist Banez

Solitude drives some men mad; it
sharpens the wits of others. Cour-
ageous men have often turned con-
finement in prison into a great per-
sonal achievement, while more faint
hearted ones, crushed and defeated
by self-pity. have drifted quickly
into a condition of impotent inertia.
Some of the greatest books in all
literature were written in the soli-
tude of a prison cell.
Vicente Blasco Ibanez, the fa-
nous Spanish novelist who has re-
Gently come to this country to write
a novel based on American life, is
an example of how a brave man
can turn enforced solitude to profit
able account. He was journalist.
Because of political activities in an
attempt to free Cuba, he was SEN
fenced to fourteen years imprison-
ment. 1t was while serving his SEN
tence that he began his career as a
novelist. Today he is celebrated as
one of the foremost writer's of fic-
tion and his writings have not only
won him fame throughout the civil
ized world. but have made him enor-
mously rich. His -Four Horsemen
of the Apocalypse" conceded by
critics to be the most powerful novel
written during the European war,
has been more widely read in this
county than any book that has
been published in the present CEN
tury.
Surpassed Cervantes.
Ibanez has achieved greater mate
rial success than his illustrious
countryman, Cervantes. Although
Cervantes wrote the greatest novel
in the history of Spanish literature,
he died miserab1y poor. He was
prisoner in Madrid Jail when he
wrote Bon Quixote," so poor that
he was unable to procure writing
materials and much of his manu-
script was written on scraps of
leather.
Dante wrote most of his wonder
full poems while in penury and exile,
after he had been condemned to be
burned at the stake John Bunyan
wrote Pilgrims Progress In Bed
ford Jail. where he was confined for
twelve years. His Grace Abound
ing" and Holy War" were also
written In prison. Raleigh wrote
his History Of the World" during
thirteen years imprisonment I'm Lon
don Tower. IL was there Eliot
wrote "The Monarchy OF Man." and
George wither Satire 60 the King"
It was In prison that Penn wrote

Population and Industry.

Census returns have been tabulated
sufficiently to prove slowing down in
the rate of population growth of the great
cities. The rate of urban increase is vet
materially above the rate Of increase IN
rural districts, and the census will show
a materially larger fraction of Americans
than ever before in urban areas This,
week is hazarded the estimate that one
tenth Of our population lives in the three
largest cities and one-fourth IN the sixty
eight cities which have a population OF
100. 900 or more. We have eleven cities
Of more than half siilion population as
against five a decade ago, and hfty-six
cities with population Of between lOO,-
600 and 100000 as against forty-three,
A study of the relation between indus
try and population in city and country
alike will prove one of the most interesting
and fruitful phases Of the census Every
body is familiar with the fact that it is
not alone the lure Of city amusements,
comforts and wages which draws people
from the country. They leave because
mechanical improvements have made it
possible for diminished labor supply TO
produce an equal or greater return from
the soil. II more men labored beside the
machinery a higher return would be
obtained but the higher return would cost
more than ii is worth In the cities the
connection between industry and popu-
lation is far from constant, and requires
careful analysis.
The last census showed some remark.
able variations between the population
rank of cities and their rank as producers
of commodities. Boston was fifth IN
population and eighth In value of manu-
factured products-perhaps one reason
why Boston has since dropped below st.
Louis and Detroit. Baltimore, seventh in
population, was in 1910 thirteenth in value
of products On the other hand, Kansas
City, where the stock yards produce huge
quantities of meat, was fifteenth in value
Of manu- factures, but not even among the
so cities of largest population.

that Mr.. Harding was merely determined
TO remove the Democratic label from the
article and, with Republican tag on it,
bestow it upon the country nd the world.
The country would like TO know whether
MIR Handing is for the league or against it.
Nobody can make out frt m his speeches,

May We Not Have Clean Eicction2

Without regard to any partisan con-
siderations whatever, we desire to ask,
sincerely and honestly: May It not be
possible to have a clean election in Del
aware, this year, one absolutely free from
the corruption of votc-buying2
Surely, there is no reason why this
question should not be answered in the
affirmative, and in a manner that will
guarantee results. 1t should be possible
to have assurances from leading men con-
nected with the campaign managemcntof Of
both the leading political parties.
It's not necessary at this time to refer TO
past conditions, any further than to say
that the evil of vote-buying at elections
in Delaware has long been reproach to
the State. But there is no reason why it
should be permitted to continue.
There is especial reason why the reform
should be inaugurated at this time and the
coming election be kept free from cor
ruption and from dishonesty in any
form.
This year, for the first time in the his
tory of the State. our women will par
ticipate in our political election on full
equality with the men. Already large
number of them have become qualified by
registration and several thousands more
will likewise become qualified during the
next and final day set apart for registra-
ton.
These women, participating for the
first time in a contest of ballots, should be
welcomed with absolutely clean condi-
tions. No corruption of the ballot should
attend their initial step into the field of
activeresponsibilityi in government and full
entrance upon the duties Of citizenship.
Therefore, let us have some arrange
ment-either by an organization similar to
the Anti-Bribery League Of 1906, or by
agreement between the managements of
the two leading political parties-by
which our election this year may not be
tainted by the buying of votes.
Surely, there should be no objection to
the entrance of men of both parties-men
who can guarantee the desired results
into solemn compact to this end.
