And think it lower than the worm or gnat;
The end of many myriad lives is this,
The end of myriads that.

No pause, no peace, no staying place

Who mounts will fall, who falls may
mount; the spokes
Go round unceasingly
If ye lay bound upon the wheel of change,
And no way were of breaking from the
chain.
The Heart of boundless Being is curse,
The Soul of Things fell Pain.
Ye are not bound! The Soul of Things is

The Heart of Being is celestial rest;
Stronger than woe is will; that which was

None other holds you that ye live and die,

- teams made up of home
IA; s; P; talent. The rain and
chilly atmosphere was not exactly
suited for hot game, but the At
tendance numbered nine hundred
odd enthusiasts just the same. Mr..
Bycrs assumed charge of the M. S.
P.'s and his Athletes went out and
sewed up the game in the first
stanza. The game which had been
scheduled with St. Paul team had

balls and Lee went to second. Carlt
ended the fireworks by striking out.

was mentioned in the report.
When confronted with the facts by
Huddleston, Representative Hay ad.
mitted the charge, but excused 1t by
saying: What is the difference be.
tween the President being authorized
to call men out and to draft them?
There is no difference, so far as the
President is concerned"
This statement by Hay is very re-.
markable in view of another state.
ment made by him on the same sub.
ject on March %. The difference be.
tween the words "call" and draft
came up at that time when Repre-
setative Miller Of Minnesota asked
that some other word than draft"
be used In authorizing tho President
to bring the militia into the federal
service. He suggested the word
ordered" Mr.. Hay replied:
The word order and the word
draft are two entirely separate and
distinct words. and mean entirely sep.
arate and distinct things. And II the
gentleman will look into the debates
during the war. when the draft sec.
tons were considered by Congress,
as have done, he will find that the
same question arose, and that after
q full debate on It was concluded
that the word draft was necessary
In order to give. the President the
powers desired"
Mr.. Miller: Gould we not sub.
stitute the words. call II % the service
Of the United States?
Thus Mr.. Hay Is on record to the
effect that the words"call" and
draft" mean the same thing; and
that the words call" and draft"
mean entirely separate and distinct
things.
1t is pointed out by those who
object to the draft as q means of
raising armies, that not only is the
draft tyrannous and oppressive, but
that historically 1t has never been
necessary. In the present war Eng.
lands official figures given out last
May showed that when their compul.
sorry service act finally went into
effect, England had raised 1000 900
men by the volunteer system and
there remained only 100000 availoble
In England, Scotland and Wales of
military age to be conscripted. Dur.
ing the American Civil War, of the
2.S59,132 Federal inlistments only
$4,000 were added to the ranks by the
draft. The records of the Confede.
rate army show a similar small pro-
portion resulting from their efforts
to draft.
However, what Huddleston and
other Congressman object to is not
80 much the draft, but the placing of
the power to draft in the hands Of the
War Department, instead Of retaing
1t in Congress. 2
