Tuber, Inuvule ) In pieparation for the contemplated extension of draft nges Governor Keith Neville has issued a bulletin to all local boaids requesting them to secure the services of voluntary rcg ibtrars jn qvcry voting precinct, in this statjC. Nebraska has achieved a very enviable record in the adminis tration of the selective service law. Nebraskans have given freely of thpir time in tho transaction of this work. ,In the, 1917 registration vol unteer registrars were secured forthc vast majority of counties. In Omaha 100 registrars volunteered their ser vices. The registration in that city of 20,01)0 men cost the government only $9.48. The record attained in some of tho rural districts of Ne braska has been equally as good and in some cases better. The 1918 reg istration was conducted with no ex pense to the fedeial government, it is Governor Neville's desire that the titanic task of conducting the pro posed new registration lie accom plished with as little expense to the government as possible. He is, con sequently calling upon patriotic No brapkans to communicate with tho local board having jurisdiction over their territory offering their services qn registration day.

This plan is being followed quite generally with gratifying results, ami if the ministers will make their an nouncements accordingly, they will thus guarantee the constitutional right of religious worship, and give due response to the popular demand of our citizens for tho exclusive use of the language of our country. This plan in no wise interferes witli the religious liberty of any one. "Applied to tho use of the telephone it is manifest that one unable to use our language cannot be denied the right to converse in his native tongue, ami hero tho rule must bend acroid- ingly; igly; but those who r.peak English! iu.t not be given this privilege.
