DRAFT LAW IS UPHELD.„
The decision, a unanimous one, made yesterday by the
United States Supreme Court, upholding the selective
draft law. should sink into hundreds of thousands of per
sons in this nation. The draft is a law and it has gone to
the highest court and’has been sustained. Slackers and
the faint-hearted, who have hein making their living in
this country for years, even massing a fortune perhaps,
should have left when it looked as if the United States
would be involved in the present war. They are here
however and should now he required to fight, not placed
in jails, but put in the front ranks where they will be shot
unless they do fight. Hundreds of thousands of loyal
Americans are taking their places in the ranks and the re
mainder should do so or be disposed of properly. The
draft law has been sustained and that is sufficient.
PATIENCE AND STRENGTH
Among the ten war “commandments” for the women
of America, proposed by the women’s committee ot the
Council of National Defense, is this one: “No matter
how long the struggle may last, await victory with pat
ience and strength.”
Wise counsel is this, and timely. We must not only
conserve our strength, but we must increase it. We must
consume no part of our vital energy on the trifling things
which divert attention in peace times, hut we must con
centrate on the big and little things vital to the winning
of the war.
The counsel applies to men with the same force that
applies to the women, to whom it is addressed, and to big
boys and girls, also. Upon every American engaged in
any activity there has been imposed the new duty of ex
erting strength, to the end'that victory shall be achieved.
How this mav best be done is for each individual to deter
%
mine, but all American strength must be unified for the
exclusive purpose of winning victory, and nothing should
be permitted to interfere with the exertion of this unified
strength.
Patience must be learned and the learning is not
easy. Relatively few of us are endowed with the quality
of patience. It is probably a rarer quality in our own land
than in the other countries. Patience spells perseverance
it is exalted hope, and we need to cherish it. Let every
loyal American engrave on the tablets of his memory:
“No matte»• how long the struggle may last, await victory
with patience and strength.”
WELL. ARE YOU!
Are you a civic mendicant, receiving the unequaled
benefits of American citizenship without giving anything
but the taxes forced upon you? Are you a civic whiner,
always complaining about the way “they” who govern you
do things, despite the fact that “they" is really you?
Are you a civic coward, afraid of losing worthless
friends, or of “interfering with business,” if you call atten
tion to inadequate school administration, or in the street
cleaning or in some other portion of the public service?
Are you a civic sneak, trying to avoid just taxation by
evasion or downright dishonesty, and thus putting upon
your neighbor part of the burden which is yours? Are
you a civic waster, considering that the water supply, the
food and fuel you buy, the service of collecting garbage
and refuse, the city’s parks and in general the community
service for which you pay or do not pay, is to be used less
carefully than if it was not related to the present needs of
the fighting world?
Are you a civic “uglifier”—to use Dr. Elliott’s
good word—who throws refuse into the streets, who fails
lo keep his home premises pleasant in the eyes of his
neighbors? Do you, in your business, spread the virus of
civic smallpox through either using or permitting the
placing of advertising signs which assault the eyes of
your defenseless neighbors?
Determine the status of your citizenship. By search
ing self-inquiry find out whether you are a negative, and
therefore half bad, citizen; whether you are a selfish and
destructive citizen, pullingNlown what others are endeav
oring to build up; or whether you are truly a constructive;
citizen, jealous for the quality and the honor of the gov-:
eminent of which you are a part.”—J. Horace McFarland
in the New York Independent.
| ' ” * IT IS TOO LAUGH
Fearing intrigue from Allied agents is thee foolish
reason for the Germans why they will not confer with the
Russians in Stockholm on peace proposals. Great guns
of all things—“fearing intrigue”—this nation that show
ed the world the meaning of intrigue, fearing that others
• would work the same game upon it! Poor little Germany,
“fearing intrigue,” of all silly reasons. A Goliah fearing
the little David—well perhaps the truth has really come
out and the chickens are coming home to roost, on the kai
ser’s breast. Stay at home you Germany representatives
for a German peace, no one elses, and you won’t get hurt.
ATTEND THE LUNCHEONS
Today the Chamber of Commerce resumed their Tues
day noonday luncheons. More good can come from these
little half hour or hour gatherings than can be quickly im
aginable. In these times of war and drastic commercial
control, many matters can he threshed out, discussed and
remedied at these gatherings. Every business man, un
less absolutely tied down, should attend the luncheons,
give opinions and receive from others. It will help all.
TOUGH ON THE BOOTLEGGERS
If the sentence handed out to John Olson yesterday
by United States Commissioner Whittlesey is a criterion
the day of the bootlegger will or should pass as quickly
as it sprung up. One year in jail and a fine is ample to
convince others that the prohibition law is not to be mon
1 keved with.
