$40 VOTERS In CECIL COM.
PLY WITH RULING

AS result of the decision handed
down by the Court of Appeals of
Maryland recently, to the effect that
all persons who had removed into
Maryland from another State, and
were registered last year without
first having declared their intentions
to become citizens of Maryland, were
subject to removal from the regis
tration books, because they had been
Illegally registered, $40 persons have
compiled with the act in Cecil
County.
The law stipulates that all persons,
former residents of another State,
desiring to register as voters, must
have declared their intentions before
the Clerk of a Circuit Court, one
year prior thereto. At the session
of the 1929 General Assembly of
Maryland, a substitute law was
passed for the Declaration of Inten-
ton Act, providing that a former
resident of another State, could
register by certifying before Board
of Registry, that he or she had re-
sided in Maryland for one year
thereto.
It is estimated that $4,000 persons
were registered throughout the State
under this act. Since then the Court
of Appeals of Maryland, declared
that act unconstitutional, practically
DISTINGUISHING about $4,000 voters.
The time limit, in order to be
eligible for registration next year,
expired on Saturday. In this county
$40 persons, who had been register
ed last year,. complied with the in
structions as sent out by the Election
Board. Altogether it is estimated
there were in the neighborhood OF
900 voters who were registered last
year, who had come into Maryland
from another State and had not COM
piled with the Declaration of In
tention Act This means that about
23O persons are liable to have their
names eraced from the registration
books in the county.

THE STATE PAYS AHEAD
(Meriden Journal)

Newspapers with republican leanings have not overlooked the opportunity to give the state ad- ministration pat on the back Tor it's capable financial management, following announcement from the office of State Treasurer Roy Will cox that $3.O00,000 bond issue will now be paid up a couple of years In advance of maturity.
 That is a good and notable showing but not unexpected in view of long heralded information that pay-as-we-go Connecticut has had resources in a sinking fund that would meet all indebtedness. Con- necticut's entire funded debt after October 1 will be around $13,000,- 900 and there will be ample money in the sock to meet this claim upon maturity in 1936.
 Meanwhile there Is expectation that no more indebtedness need be incurred and that the state will be able to claim national leadership in financial freedom. At the same time 1t should be borne in mind that five of the eight counties are out of debt and the three others have debts that are exceedingly small in comparison to grand lists
 Treasurer Wilcox is wise in giv- ing publicity to the states financial position. As a result people are probably better informed concern ing commonwealth finances than they are about the bonded in- debtedness of their own towns Lack of knowledge on this subject has contributed to disastrous re- suits in numerous municipalities where money has been borrowed freely with little thought of the settlement days to come.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-08-18

In preparation for linguistic atlas Of the United States a group of scholars under the direction of Dr Hans Kurath of Ohio Uni vcrsiiy are beginning dialect research in New England. The choice of this section of the nation to begin this gigantic task is merited. We don't think that any part of the country possesses so diversified dialects as New England. Dr Kurath with the aid of Professor Miles L. Hanley of the Univer- sity of Wisconsin will begin the research in Connecticut. Dr Kurath says. People in every statum of society will be visited so that the words familiarly used by the farmer the old settler, social leader. laborer. banker fisherman, housekeeper. and ordinary busi- ness man may be recorded. giving complete cross section view of their accustomed voeab- ulary.

THE BLUE MOON

(Re-rrintcd from The Christian Science
 MontOr) When he whole sky is vestured siken blue With not fleece to view, Drown your deep eyes afar, and see you must How the light azure dust And spcckled atoms of the polished skies Are large blue butterflies. The proof? Lie in a field on heavy moons. When nature drones and croons And on mans distant cry dogs far bark Hush sets the instant mark Look up: when nothing early stirs or sings You hear them wave their wings, And watch the breeze their vanity awakes Light on the heavenly lakes. But when the shades before the suns huge fall In sham retreat grow tall. Their ambushcd allies the impatient stars, Make ready for bright wars, And shoot ten million arrows to chastise The tardy butterflies Who dive in hosts toward the diving sphere That holds tse light. frontier, And the poor vanquisbed, turning as they glide, Show their gold underside.
