draft is an absurdity. Such an act would
have iust the contrary effect. 1t would
impress the world with new sense of
republican strength. 1t would show that
the Republic. is not at the mercy of the
popular feelings of the hour, but has re-
served powers. for its preservation equal
to those of the .proudest empire among
the nations. Il would prove that the
American people are something more
than mere A." organized mob;" that
they are mombers Of mighty common :
wealth, having its own millennial life to
live, It's own paramount responsibilities
to meet, its own sovereign powers to ex-

the mere convenience or pleasure of IN
