YESTERDAYS REGISTRATION

It is gratifying to know that put
few cases of disorder attended the
registration yesterday. When the
fact is considered that there IS
polyglott population in the United
States, and that the country extends
from the Atlantic to the Pacific ana
from the frieid zone to the tropics
it is marvellous that the work OF list
ing eligibles for military service
should have been conducted in such
a tranquil manner. 1t is sufficient
answer to the many direful prophe-
r;es of enemies of the United States
that such was the fact. There was
one arrest in the Old Dominion, that
of a man bearing German name,
living at Coeburn, who cursed the
President of the United States.
There were disturbances in mining
town in Michigan, as there were also
in Butte, Montana, but these disorders
were precipitated by foreigners. A
dispatch from Jasper, Arkansas, tells
of a plot to kill registration officers.
This was nipped in the bud by the
arrest of the alleged conspirators.
Conditions incident to the registra-
ton in Alexandria, were exceeding
quiet, much more so than on some
election days IN the past. The NUM-
Der of young men who handed in
their names will nearly approximate
the number expected, that is when
the names of those heretofor taken
by the clerk of the Corporation
Court shall have been added to those
listed yesterday.
There does not seem to have been
wild enthusiasm anywhere in the
country. The eligibles regarded
the procedure as duty they owed
their country, and the great mass
manifested cheerfulness, as they real
lied the time had come for Ameri-
cans to arm themselves against a
cruel foe who has trampled upon the
rights of others and will surely
trample upon the Stars and Stripes
if Americans fail to take steps to
stop the Juggernaut.
The American eagle stood for
two years and half with the
olive branch in its right claw. 1t
loved peace. The arrows in its
left claw were kept in the back
ground until it became necessary to
brandish them in defense of our be-
loved America.
After the seven years war for in
dependence from Great Britain, Ben
jamin Franklin was approached by a
prominent French republican who
said: Doctor, I rejoice with you and
your country over the successful out
come of your war for independence.
Franklin replied: Thank you, but
we have only won in the first war;
another is Inevitable"
The second came with the mother
country a third of a century later.
The American philosopher was far
seeing, but it probably never occur
red to him that the nation he helped
bring to the birth was destined to
engage in third war for independ-
ence. and that. too, with Germany, |
one of the first European powers to
recognize the independence of the
United States.

COMPELLED TO KISS FLAG

Foreigner Who Baked At Register
ing Made to Crawl.
Racine. Wis, June 6.-John Ro-
bush, foreigner, employed at the J.
I. Case Tin Company plant, was
forced to kiss the American flag by
300 of his fellow-employes yesterday
after he is alleged to have declared
that he would never register and
would not fight for the United States.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1917-06-06

The man was made to crawl on his
knees to the flag, which had been
spread upon the floor, and after kiss
ing it, compelled to salute. The po-
lice Informed him that he would be
arrested if he failed to register be-
fore the close of the booth tonight.

WHY ENCOURAGE CREDIT

Why do merchants encourage the
credit system? says the Industrial
World. You answer that you don't.
Yes, but you do. If the system were
not encouraged by the merchants it
would not be in existence today. Did
you ever stop to think that the mer-
camille community of the country are
the only body of men that tolerate the
credit system. Let's see you buy
postage stamps, postal notes, money
orders, etc, on credit; try it and what
will you be told. Go to the theater
and you pay money. Express COM
panies demand cash, and railroad tick
cts are cash on delivery to the pur-
chaser. Why should not he merch-
ant demand cash? Simply because he
encourages the credit system. 1t may
be an impossibility to completely era

Either run it with vim or sell out
and leave it. Men who are always
trying to get out of business will new
err do much to build up a town. One
or two things must be done-run "a
thing for all it is worth, get up steam
and keep it up or quit the whole thing,
slide out and let nature take its
course. If you want a prosperous
town where the people can come who
are disposed to make their homes,
then go away and bury from sight
all jealousy and spite, work no more
for a few individuals, but all work
together for common prosperity and
mutual benefit. Wake up, rub your
eyes, roll up your sleeves and go to
work. Don't work with fear and
trembling, but take for granted that
blood will tell. Leave results to
themselves; borrow no trouble, but
unite to make it the biggest kind of
town. Get to work. Build better
roads. Hold out inducements for
trade. Do business.

PARAPHRAsING HIS SPEECH

VIM. Jennings Bryan paraphrased
his Grown of thorns and cross of
gold" speech last week before an au-
dience of 5000 at Springfield, H.,
when he said that they "shall not bury
the Democratic party in drunkard's
grave" 1t was a distinctly political
speech made with the intention of in
fiuencing the Illinois Legislature,
which is in session, against the sa-
loon evil.
If he succeeds in his endeavor to
get the democratic party to endorse
prohibition, his name will go down
in history as one of the mest unique
American statesman.

ing the food for sale within. Supposng you glanced

Supposng within you saw frayed ocloth the tables;
sugar bowls caked from frequent applications of wet
spoons and infrequent applications of dishcloth;
smeary catsup bottles stained coffee urns, broken
cups threeegged chairs and the sundry other marks
of an il-kept eating place. How hungry would you
have to be to be tempted to enter and sup?
Supposing you were business man to whose desk
came local paper Supposing you needed some print
ing, and needed it badly Supposing inside page
there appeared an announcement saying that the es

you required in the printing line But-suppose the
paper was hodgepodge of iassorted types, render

dozen type faces appeared in the advertisement of job
printing. Suppose the advertisements poorly ar
ranged and the general make up of the paper was
unattractive Suppose the whole sheet was bungled

awry and daubed at the crease by unclean hands.
