agitator and who has hesa active in
the anti-war propaganda, had hand in
its composition. Miss Goldman has not
been backward in declaring her deter.
mination to assist all who refuse to reg.
lister and are prosecuted, seeking ap-
parentiy to stop just within the letter
Of the law which forbids the discourage
ment Of registration.
What difference is there between re-
fusing to register and encouraging 9th
ers to refused Does not the law reach
those who proclaim broadcast that every
man who is liable to registration will be
sustained in his contention by means of
legal aid if he refuses to present him
self next Tuesday, Assuredly there is
no ground for legal action against the
registration itself. "A petition has been
presented to court. in Missouri to enjoin
the registry as unconstitutional. The
only conceivable basis for such procedure
is the claim that the selective draft is
in itself contrary to the organic law.
The registration in itself is but proc
ess. No man is in direct consequence
of it compelled to serve.
Registration next Tuesday is com
manded by an act of Congress az a meas
ure of national defense. Opposition to
the registration is specifically prescribed
as an offense. Emma Goldman and her
associates in the work of discouraging
registration should be promptly hailed
into court as working against the vel
fare of the nation. The law defines re-
fusal to register as a crime, and most
distinctly those who declare in advance
that whoever deliberately breaks that
law will be defended are accessory be-
fore the fact to that crime.

1t would be extraordinary II obstruc-

Tuesday. The machinery Of registra-
ton Is improvised. It 10 in the hands
power behind 1t in many Of the sparse
sly settled districts of the country is
slight. In a few of the larger cities,
where pro-German, socialist and irrec-
onciiable pacifst sentiment Is strong. a
seditious campaign has been made to
deter men between the designated ages
from registering. Yet obstruction Of
this sort will be only sporadic. The
country has accepted the draft.

hangers, etc, will be completed to
provide for the opening of the school.
Four sq,uadrons, 600 men, will prob
ably be under training in the new
school when completed. Some OF these
will be machinists necessary to keep
airplanes and engines in proper con-

follow the practice pursued at other

The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1917-09-10
Congratulations, Police.

The summary manner with which
Maj. Pullman and the police depart
ment dealt with the conditions in GER
tain parts of Southwest Washington
on Saturday night deserves the COM
mendation Of everyone in the city,
And the results obtained prove that
such concerted action as was in evil
dence on Saturday was needed to pre-
vent the occurrence which happened
a week ago.
Since The Washington Herald first
called attention to the conditions that
exist in the southwest, the police de-
partment has been working night and
day to eliminate them. That the
truth Of The Herald's assertions were
recognized by the department is proven
by the fact that the War and Navy
departments were called upon to fur
nish provost guards to keep order.
Maj. Pullman himself directed the
work on Saturday night, and he had
the entire section where conditions
have been bad under the surveillance
Of police and soldiers. Even the near
beer" saloons were taboo insofar as
enlisted men were concerned.
The Herald wishes to congratulate
the department on recognizing that
conditions in the locality were bad and
in the stringent measures which have
been taken to eliminate them. Action
such as was taken on Saturday night
VIII soon remedy a condition which
was a blot on the Capital City.
