Reports have reached this news
paper that some mistaken and foolish
self-appointed leaders are advising
young negroes, who are liable to mill
tary service, not to register On June
5th. This is the worst advice that
they could give, for the federal au-
thorities are determined that no man,
white or black, between 81 and 81
years old shall escape registration,
and those who fail to register will
be apprehended and punished. Those
who obstruct and advise against reg
istration will be punished even more
severely than those who do not reg
lister. Comparatively few of the
whole number that register will be
called into service. but the United
States government reserves to itself
the right to say who shall be exempt
and who shall serve in the army. The
government is i'm no humor for fool
ishness, and no man, white or black,
can safely undertake to interfere with
the registration ordered on June 9Th.
