REGISTER :!

Next Tuesday. June 9Th, is the day
fixed by the Federal government for
the registration of every male who
was born between June 5, 1886, and
June 5. 1896, for the purpose of pre-
pairing to make a selective drawing of
persons to compose the United States
army. This means all persons
born between those dates, without eX-
ception, including aliens, naturalized
citizens, native born, or otherwise,
whether sick or well, sane or insane,
at home or away. The matter of ex-
emntion will come afterwards, and the
penalty for failure to register is one
year in prison. There is no alterna-
tive of a fine, and we sincerely hope
that none of our young men will have
to go to prison. 1t certainly is safer
TO register than not to do so, for even
if a prison sentence is preferred the
government can take them out of pris-
on and put them in the army after
wards. While we would much prefer
that none of our young men should go
in the army. it is better for them to
register than not to do so. So let ev-
eryone Register on that day and take
his chances; if not for patriotism's
sake, at least as a matter of discre-
ton. We would much rather that it
should be done as a matter of duty,
but register anyhow.

striking illustrations of this in our
country's history. 1t is said that the
untimely fate of Col. Owen Roberts,
who fell at Stone, was cause of uni

patriot, an excellent disciplinarian,
and enthusiast in pursuit of military
fame. His son, who was in the ac-

FASTENED to him. The expiring vet
