WE REGISTER AGAIN

1t only yesterday we were urging citizens to
register so that they might be able to vote election
time, and once again the duty is before us.
AT midnight tomorrow, all registrations in the
state of California go into discard, and until JAN
uary there is citizen in the state eligible
for dogcatcher of the smallest hamlet in the state
The coming year is to be an important one in this
state for governor and various state officers must
be chosen, and various county and municipal offices
must be filled Unless citizen has registered he not
eligible to vote at any election
Some have the idea that registering imposes hard
ship in that it makes liable to jury duty The cit
i@en who would shirk his responsibility in this way is
only foong himself for he is liable to jury duty any
how
There is no "catch" to registering 1t simply gives
each citizen the right to exercise the privilege of citizen
ship guaranteed to him by the Constitution of the Unit
ed States.
Registering will be started Immediately after Janu-
ary and will continue throughout the two year period
1t is not wise to wait too long Those interested in cit
izenship, and in god government, will register
early as they possibly can do

Falls Tribune (Dem.) contends that if
the bill passes "they will have re-
duced the Kellogg anti-war treaty to
the status of nothing more than a
half-hearted gesture of good will"
eff we are going to continue to view
the international problem of war as
analogous to that of the early pioneer
surrounded by lawless savages, then
we are going to keep on having just
that kind of world" AYERS the Hous-
ton Chronicle (Dem.). The Lincoln
State Journal (Ind. Rep.) emphasizes
the cost of the new ships and COM
ments: with local expenses climb
ing, roads to be built, an expensive
school system and banking problem,
the cruiser bill can scarcely arouse
much enthusiasm in Nebraska"
In the course of an analysis of the
Borah position, the New York Times
(Ind.) states: when he got down
from generalities to details, he realiz-
ed that there are and must be certain
limitations on the freedom of the
seas His strong assertion of neu-
trail rights was qualified by the state
ment that the neutral flag should
make neutral goods, Except when
ships are carrying munitions of war
or are attempting to run a blockade,
which must not be paper blockade
There we come upon the very core of
the difficulty. Neutrals must admit
that they can be stopped by belliger-
ent vessels for carrying contraband,
but who is to define contraband?"
Statements in support of the need
Of the additional cruisers are made by
number Of papers, including the San
Antonio Express Ind. Dem.), Phila-
delphia Record (Ind. Dem.), and
South Bend Tribune (Ind. Rep.). The
last mentioned finds assurance in the
practical unanimity of the vote on the
Kellogg treaty, and continues: "That
is plain fact which ought to be con-
sidered apart from the cruiser bill"
"The reasonableness and modera-
ton of the cruiser bill are beyond
question:" asserts the New York Her
ald-Tribune (Rep.), while the Chicago
Daily News Ind.), concludes: "Our
arguments and sacrifices for lighter
burden of sea ornaments having
failed, we must build against dis
quoting margin of insecurity. Our
desire for fewer fighting ships re-
mains. The next move in the right
direction is not Americas"

IRREGULARITIES In ROADS

let contracts to friends who were
not low bidders, had done other
things of an irregular nature and
that he had lied in statements re-
garding the actions Of Butler and
Charles L. Robins, and had perjured
himself in sending them to the peni-
tertiary instead of standing little
embarrassment himself"
The statmenet also charged that
Mr.. Mackall had taken supplies and
labor which the state had paid for
and used them for his private use,
had given jobs to relatives, and had
known the stealing was going on in
the Commission office before it had
been disclosed and that he had taken
no steps to put stop to it.
In all, the statement which Mr..
Hall said had been made to him by
Butler contained 43 separate in
stances where Mr.. Mackall had been
implicated in Irregularities.
W. w. Brown, former member of
the Roads Commission, who resign
ed following the publication of the
Haskin & Sells report of its audit,
was also said in the statement to
have received an automobile for
state use, paid for by the state, but
4ba+ ~ 1,,oc ,,loood IN b;c o,,-r ,,r;1,o+ q
service, although he paid the expen-
ses of up-keep. 1t also charged that
r. Bennett Darnall, another member
of the Commission received two ma
chimes from the state, and that he
traded in his own machine on the
purchase price of one the state hav-
ing paid the balance.
Ewers Balks When Questioned
Following the reading of this state
ment, which Mr.. Hall said was type
written and handed to him by Butler
when he called at the Maryland peni-
tertiary to see him at the former
roads employees request, Ewers was
placed on the stand. He answered
question as to his name and occupa-
ton and then baked at the next
question, where were you employ
ed as a mechanic?" He was connect
ed with the Glenburnie garage of the
State Roads Commission.
Mr. Hall said that Ewers had been
originally indicted by the Baltimore
grand jury because he had testified
against Frank Woods, another man
connected with the roads shortage,
and that he wanted to run no more
"risk" before being sentenced. Dur
ing this statement, Hall was inter
rupted by Charles P. Curtis, vice
chairman of the committee, who
asked if the charge was directed
against Herbert R. O'Connor, states
attorney.
Mr.. Hall made a heated retort
that he was "indicting the grand
jury and not Mr.. O'Connor, who had
only done his duty"
The committee waived the right to
question as to Ewer's testimony, and
Hall agreed to have him appear as
soon after passing of sentence as
was convenient for the committee.
With the exception of this after
noon of what was termed by both
Mr.. Hall and counsel for the COM
mittee as "hearsay" testimony, the
Legislature had quiet day. The
Senate had few bills presented, al
though more than a score were
dumped into the House hopper.
The committee adjourned until
next Tuesday afternoon at $3.50, at
which time Charles C. Croggins, au-
ditor of the Haskins and Sells firm
which made the audit of the finan-
ces of the State Roads Commission,
will be asked to appear before it.

 Now what does the church warn and teach? What the law of nature itself teaches, that if married people take advantages of the privileges of matrimony they must abide by its obligations. Surely there is such a thing as birth control in the Catho- lie Church but 1t Is a control not by artificial means but by self-restraint. by guarding chastity and purity through the marriage state.
 No longer do men marry. it seems. to seek mutual happiness, love and appreciation with their wives, but too often their whole pur- pose is to seek qualification of sex desires. If there is one wrong idea in this nation it is the growing

 Tt is seen in the prevalence of di- vorce and birth control. America has need 10 fear the insidious propa ganda destroying the vitality of the nation.
