UNINTERRUPTED
FROM REGISTRY
FOR WAR DRAFT

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10
With virtually all preliminary work
out OF the way. Judge Advocate Cen
eral Crowder. the grand provost mar
shall in charge Of registration under
the selective draft bill, today buckled
down to the routine OF seeing that
every detail OF the machinery for the
enforcement Of the law is perfected
we'll in advance Of June 5, the date on
q which all males between the ages OF
q and 80 inclusive must register.
All males" means exactly what it
says There will be no exception on
registration day. Even aliens must
! register and state their nationallties.
Reports have reached Washington
that barroom and street loafers are
hiking for the farms. This will not
help them. They will be caught in the
registration net whether they be in
the town or city or in the country. If
they are between p and 80 years Of
age Uncle Sam wants their names
on June 5.
All Farmers Must Register
Farmers may be exempted under the
law from draft, but none are exempt
from registration. This requirement
has no exception whatever.
The registration of all aliens, 1t is
believed, will serve a very useful pur
pose in the future, since it will give
the federal and state authorities line
on all young men Of alien birth in the
country together with their nationah
ties. They cannot be required to serve
in the army, since the law specifically
forbids the enlistment of aliens in the
army even in peace times. !
Aliens who have declared their in.
tention to become citizens of the
United States. except allen enemies"
which probably includes Austrians as
well as Germans, since the former
would have a rather unhappy time in
an American trailing camp, may be !
used.
Married Men Not Exempt
Even married men are not exempt
from the operation Of the selective
draft law merely because they are
married. Many married men will be !,
drafted into the military service, but
only when their wives and children |
are not financially dependent upon
them.
Wives rich in their own right whose
husbands fall within the prescribed
age scale will have to give them up
for the period Of the war.
This rule is not general, since some
wealthy married men will be number

potential. value to the nation in their

dangerous to split ticket, and the peculiar
situation surrounding this election makes it
even more dangerous than usual. The Re-

- II is immensely important In this election
that the straight Republican ticket be voted.
There is a great deal at stake, and Republic
cans who wish to see the progressive, con-
structive work go ON must see that Repubi-
cans are returned to office.

NORMAN WATKINS
says:

1t is absolute folly to talk about splitting
the Republican ticket for Petrie and McClel-
Ian. As the Star-Bulletin said in 1914, if even
one Democrat is elected, he will be trouble
maker on the Board and will certainly try to
block progressive, fair system of public i'm
provements.

A. L. CASTLE

says:
If businessmen could only attend Demo
cratic meeting and then a Republican meet
ing, there would be no question as to why the
straight Republican ticket should be voted.
The candidates of the Republican party are
out for clean-cut, business-like administra-
ton.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-06-04
LORRIN ANDREWS

The Republican candidates are pledged to
work together If elected. Any Democrat
elected, no matter how good a man, would
throw their policies into confusion. He would
be an opposition candidate and for political
purposes make all possible trouble. The Re-
pubGcans have nominated set of men who
can be counted on to keep their pledges. They
represent every element In the community.
From business standpoint, It would be the
height Of folly to cut one name on the Repub-
Ecan ticket. @@ ~-@ IT. ... 81.

ALBERT JUDD

says.
We have never had q more elo-
quent and puissant reason for vot-
ing the straight Republican ticket
than now when L. L. McCandless,
the backbone of the Democratic
party, refuses to pay his frontage
tax assessment. This fact alone
should be enough to defeat the can
didacy of Petrie and Mcclellan. It
should show palmer than anything
else the absolute hostility of the
Democrats to the frontage tax.

w. o. SMITH

If conditions were ideal, voting for the best
man would be absolutely sound; but in most
American communities, and certainly here,
voting the straight ticket has proved to be
most for the public welfare. 1t often happens
that IN order to get worthy men some unde-
sirable ones have to be taken also.

HONESTLY, you expose your dome

SYSTEM SAvING...ThE
SYSTEM BANK way
Public School Pupils TO BE Taught
Thrift-Maysyllle Banks
Cooperate.

Next week we are going to inau-
gurate the school savings system in
our public schools. Under this plan,
Systematic Saving = The System
Bank Way" the pupils are taught, not
only the idea Of thrift, but they be-
come familiar with the principles of
banking, get acquainted with the
bank officials, feel that they have an
interest in the banks and In addi-
ton keep a record of their banking
operations themselves. The teachers
also keeps a record at her resk Of the
weekly deposits, but under this plan
no money is ever brought to the
school, The money Is kept In the
home In the System Bank" until 81
or. more has been deposited, at which
time the pupil takes It to the bank Of
his choice apd becomes a regular de-
positor Of that bank. The pupil comes
in actual contact with the banker in
the same way as does the adult in his
banking business. The teachers will
send home a little card of introduce
ton to the parent, and the parent is
to advise the child what bank they
want them to do business with. We
are pleased to report that all of the
banks Of Maysvlle are cooperating
in this matter. To person not un-
derstanding this system, they might
say that of course the banks would
cooperate, but when 1t is known that
the banks have spent over s1OO get
ting the equipment in order to en-
courage the child then it puts quite a
different aspect on the matter, and
for that reason, we wish, this way
to express publicly our appreciation
for the way the banks have invested
their money in what they consider to
be an educative campaign for the
youth OF this city.
After the pupil has decided that he
is going to be member of this saw
ings club, he takes his card of intro
duction to the bank of his choice, pre-
sents this card to the banker with q
dime, the banker then gives him q
System Bank" and will indicate on
the card the serial number in the
bank, which card is returned to the
teacher by the pupil. After the pupi
has saved as much as 81 in his "Sys'
TEN Bank" he takes it to the banker
who breaks the seal, puts the money
in the bank gives the child a pass
book and a button. This button has
on it the initials, II. T. p. |. A., which
are the initials of the expression that
thrift is; Right Thinking Put Into
Action" We are going to place great
stress on the difference between
Savers" and "Depositirs' We hope
to have monthly reports in the papers
concerning the progress of this move
ment. In future statement I'm go
ing to explain for you the difference
between Savers" and "depositors'
and the philosophy in the foundation
of this difference.
