THE sELEcTIvE DRAFT

The principle OF the selective draft
which the administration has adopt
ed. was born Of the bitter experience
Of the British government in this war
1t would be easy enough for the Unit
ed States to raise voluntary army
We doubt II any practical difficulty
would be experienced in recruiting
100000 men to serve until the end
Of the war, but to gather up such a
force indiscrlminately by the yolun-
teer system might readily result in an
itretrlevable military disaster.
This is a war in which the army
itself is only one Of the units. Agri-
culture must be carried on without In
reference. The essential industries
must be safeguarded in their man.
power Transportation must not be In.
terrupted.
The selectiye draft system by which
all the men between the ages OF nine.
teen and twenty-five are called into
the service of the country, enables
the government to raise an army with
out weakening its economic resources
Under that policy men who ought TO
be on the farms can be kept on the
farms. Men who ought to be in the
factories can be kept in the factories
Men who ought 70 be on the railroads
can be kept on the railroads. Tile
army can, be made up Of men without
wives or dependents, OF men taken
from the nonessential industries. At
the same time, the shirkers and slack
ers can be compelled to do their share,
either in military or industrial ser
vice. M8
II is system under which the idle
sons Of the rich must bear their share
OF the common burden along with the
sons of the poor.
It is the only system under which
the right man can be sent to the right
place.--New York World.

TIME FOR CONGRESS TO QUIT

II might be well to remind those
who clamor so strongly for depend.
ence upon volunteers to constitute the
army that last year when a clash with
Mexico appeared imminent and the
guard was called out for service, it
was found to be considerably below
war strength and despite appeals
made and insistence upon the part Of
recruiting officers the quota was new

was mustered out in part some weeks

We wonder II those who talk so
glibly and so patriotically and so fond.
IS OF the volunteer system OF raising
an army ever thought OF how much
money would be raised for the support
OF the government IL all revenue was
derived from voluntary contributions.
Suppose the representatives In con.

that 1t was equally wrong to tax or
conscript money from the public to
carry on the war and would leave il

people How far would the country

And yet the principle OF the same.
