State Ranks Third
In Citizens Voting
CONTINUED from nrss pessl

wise from the 1914 and 1910 cleo
tions. In 1914, 1870 OF Delaware's
potential voters cast ballots for
President, and in 1910 approximate
ly 1870 of it's voters did likewise
In the field of soldier voting for
past presidential elections, how
ever, Delaware is listed by a Spec
ial Committee of the American PO-
litical Association appointed by the
President to study this field, as
having one of the poorest records
According to the report, recently
submitted to Congress, the princi-
pal reason for Delaware's low ma
eional ranking is that it still re-
quires members of the armed forces
to register in person.
At the present time, the report
points out, only five other states
Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, South
Carolina and Utah-still have this
requirement on their statute books.
In these six states, the service vote
was not more than three per cent
of the total vote cast for President.
AS a result of the report of the
American Political Science Asso-
citation to the President and Con-
gress, several recommendations
were submitted for presentation to
the states. AS a result, legislation
has been introduced into Congress
embOdying these recommendations.
In it's report, the Special Com
mittee indicates it's belief that all
servicemen of voting age, whether
in the United States or overseas
should have the right: % to vote
without registering in person; (2)
to vote without paying a poll tax
(3) to vote without meeting unrea-
sonable literacy and educational re-
quirements; a. to vote without
meeting unreasonable residence re-
quirements; (5) to use the Federal
postcard application for a ballot;
| (6) to receive ballots for primary
and general elections in time tC
vote; GU to be protected in the
free exercise of their voting rights
(8) to receive essential information
concerning the methods by which
the right to vote may be exercised
and (9) to receive essential infOr
nation concerning candidates anC
issues; and (1O) to receive essen
tial information on the duty o
"citizens in uniform" to defend oUl
democratic institutions by using
rather than ignoring, their voting
rights.

Centennial Edition

The editors and staff of the Mil
ford. Chronicle are deeply appreci-
ative of the thoughtfulness of a
former Milford young man, William
Exley, OF Oakland, California, who
this week sent to the Chronicle un-
der separate cover a copy of the
Centennial Edition of the Oakland
Tribune. This paper, founded in
1852, is now one of the foremost
papers or the West Coast and is
highly rated for giving all the news
that is printable in its area. The
Centennial Edition shows terrific
amount Of preparation, and comes
at a most appropriate time, when
the editors and staff of the Mil
ford Chronicle are getting ready
to plan for their Diamond Jubilee,
which they will observe in October
of 1858.

PRAYERS OF THE CHRISTIAN
LIFE by John Underwood Stephens.
Oxford University, New York. S2.75.
The best book of prayers published
in a decade. Practiced reverence is
in the approach and language. This
able volume could we'll be used for
both private and public devOtions.
There are prayers for most Occa-
siOns of human need. The index is
conveniently arranged, and the
volume is not cumbersome. The
author was an active pastor before
he decided to give full time to
writing. with prayers arising
from our hearts, and faith issuing
in deeds. we may be freed from all
those things whereof we are
ashamed"
THIS is THE DAY by Theodore
Parker Ferris. Wilcox and Follett,
Chicago. $3.50. Sermons preached
in Trinity Church, Boston, The SER
mons compare favorably with the
average volume of pulpit utteran-
ces. The outlines are plain, the
style is conversational, and the
themes interesting. "This world is
wide and round and infinite, and it
reaches up and out into the very
eternity of God. Live in it, but live
in all of it! Don't let yourself be
satisfied with just a meal a day
and a bed at night when you can
take part in the raptures of human
relationships, and the joys of crea-
ton, and the mysteries of sacrifice. I"
THE CLAIMS OF JESUS CHRIST
by Dom Gregory Dix. Wilcox and
FOllett, Chicago. $1.25. An examin-
alton of the claim made for Jesus
by the first Christians. The book
contends that God has done for us
what we could not do for ourselves.
Goodness and sin are real, as God
and man are real. They matter en-
ormously and are quite contradic-
tory. Something has to be done
about that contradiction in me, if
my religion and my life are to have
much to do with each other. And
I don't seem to be able to do any
thing permanent or effective about
it. That is where we all are"
