So {he prepared a petition to the faculty {of 'the school requesting that ar- rangements be made for the execu- tion of all persons who attached their names to the document. He went from student to student, asked each to sign, and more than a dozen put their names on the dotted line, fm- ploring that they have their heads cut off. The execution never was held, but the student proved his point. It 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 Emporia a Catholic priest unwittingly signed a Kluxers' petition, and an Emporia druggist remarked the other day he never questioned petition carriers, but_ signed them one and all—for business purposes. The Gazette believes in the theory that names are news and by printing the various petitlons and the names of the signers It often gives its readers a bit of interesting reading. This polley will be cargied out more vigorously in the future. So when you sign a petition it might be well to read it 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 it unless you believe every word in it. in honor of Mrs. Fiebeger, wife of | Col.

Coleman du Pont’s Possible Re- entry Into Politics Keeps Opponents Worried. Special Dispatch to The Star. WILMINGTON, Del., December Fearing that Gen. T. Coleman du Pont may decide to re-enter Dela- ware politics, his_opponents in Kent county are making everys effort to strengthen their organization. Lead- ers in this movement are J. Frank Allee and James F. Allee. Tt 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 it hot for the friends of Senator L. H. 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 it is ascertained whether Coleman du Pont is going to play a ington. publican. Representative Willlam H.
