No Use for Him

The hansome young minister
always stationed himself at the
church door after the services in
order to greet his pensioners
as they filed out.
One Sabbath morning along
came a raw Swedish girl, a
stranger, so, with his usual cor
diality, the minister grasped her
hand and said.
Pm very glad to see you here
this morning. Will you not tell
me your name and address, SO
that I may call on you soon!'
The girl looked him coldly In

Learn to Say No.

From the Emporia Gazette.
A year ago a student in a Kansas
college came to the conclusion that
half Of the people who sign petitions
never read what they are signing. So
he prepared petition to the faculty
of the school requesting that ar
rangements be made for the execu-
ton of all persons who attached their
names to the document. He went
from student to student, asked each
to sign. and more than dozen put
their names on the dotted line, i'm
ploring that they have their heads
cut off. The execution never was
held, but the student proved his
point.
1t is amazing how willing persons
are to sign petitions. They seldom
read what they are signing, and often
neglect to ask what it is all about
In a recent election in Emporta a
Catholic priest unwittingly signed a
Kluxers' petition, and an Empor1a
druggist remarked the other day he
never Questioned petition carriers,
but signed them one and all-for
business purposes:
that names are news and by printing
the various petitions and the names
of the signers 1t often gives its
readers a bit of interesting reading.
This policy will be carried out more
vigorously in the future. So when
you sign q petition 1t might be well
to read 1t carefully and ponder over
it a minute or two before you sign.
The best way to avoid regret over
signing a petition Is not to sign 1t
unless you believe every word In it

COMMUNIST OFFICIAL

Says Most Ever Considered Was
Industrial Reorganizing
of Workers.

MOSCOW. December 24.-F. Amer
of New York, the American repre-
sentative on the executive committee
of the third internationale, through
whose hands instruction to the work
ers' party from Moscow pass, declares
that no documents such as were re-
Gently mentioned by Secretary of
State Hughes were ever sent out.
Even If it had such things in mind,
the international, Mr.. Amer said, is
not SO "naive" as to put instruction
on paper
In commen nting on the documents,
Amer explains that their basis must
have been the fact that the central
committee of the workers party has
in contemplation reorganization IN
an industrial basis. The plan already
has been sent to the membership and
is under discussion.
According to this plan. the basis nf
party work consists of "A nucleus
at various centers composed of At
least three members: these members
elect captains who meet monthly 70
discuss the work. Therefore. IN
Amer's opinion it would not be diff
cult to distort this plan as one fo.
military purposes.

WILMINGTON, Del, December a.
Fearing that Gen. T. Coleman du
Pont may decide to re-enter Della
ware politics. his opponents in Kent
county are making every effort to
strengthen their organization. Lead
ers in this movement are J. Frank
Alice and James F. Alice. It is ex-
pected that they will have the assist
ance of former Gov. Simeon Penni-
well. The Allees plan to hit Gen.
du Pont through Gov. Denney and
Secretary of State A. R. Benson, both
leaders of the du Pont faction in
Kent county. These two are accused
of being behind the movement, which
led to the reading out Of the party of
those who did not belong to the du
Pont faction. The first test of
strength will come with the delegate
election. Both sides are claiming they
will win. In the meantime the Denny
Benson faction is making 1t hot for
the friends of Senator L. II. Ball.
However. the Allees say that no man
who supported Gen du Pont at the
last election will get the delegates.
In New Castle county the strength
of the opposition to Ball will not be
known until 1T is ascertained whether
Coleman du Pont is going to play a
part.
Just what part Col. Thomas w. Mil
ler is going to play in the contest is
shrouded in doubt. Col. Miller this
week authorized the statement that
no deal looking to the consolidation
of the political interests of DR.. Ball
and himself has been made. He said
Il am interested in what I believe is
the desire OF the majority of the re-
publicans in Delaware, republican
principles and organization, not can
didates."
The friends of the colonel SAY that
he has a plan to bring the factions to-
gether, but whether 1t will be ac-
cepted remains to be seen.
