No Substitutes for Drafted Men

One provision of the army bill which will command universal attention and satisfaction is sec ton 8 which provides that no substitute can be employed or hired to replace men who are called into the country's service under the plan of selective cons cription.
 This provision originated in the House, in the form of an amemndent by Congressman HAYDEN of Arizona, and was passed by large majority. The Senate retained the section so that it is now part of the selec- tive draft law.
 As passed, not only is person who is subject to service and ap- proved by officers prohibited from hiring a substitute for money or any other valuable consideration, but no substitute will be permitted to enter the army or to receive any valuable consideration for so doing. The purpose is to make every man, rich or poor, no matter what his station in life, serve his country if he meets the physical and other requirements.
 And this is as it should be. This is war for the benefit of the whole nation, for the cause of freedom and democracy every where; and there should be no favoritism, no substituting, no bargaining, by which one man can hire another to do his duty | for him. (COLORADO SPRINGS GAZETTE)

too sick to listen and too deaf to hear.
[ have already told you what the Southern
Baptist Convention said we were sending
troops to Europe for. According to Brother
Gambrell ct al. we will send conscripted sol
diers across the ocean, and keep them there in
the trenches, fighting with the armies Of the
Allies, until we demolish autocracy and mill
tarism
Where? Why, EVERYWHERE
Next came the Presidents Memorial Day
address in Washington-where the Vets went
unfed, and slept out doors, in the bleak
streets-in which we were told that our Gov
eminent would not reach it's "fruiton," until
it went abroad, pouring out blood and
treasure" to establish liberty for "man1ind,"
throughout the world
These declarations Of the causes of war and
of our benevolent intentions would seem to be
sufficiently clear and definite, but the ex-
planners are still explaining.
The more they say, the less [ understand.
For instance, here are the New York
dailies, coming out with fresh series of ex-
plantations, the day after so many patriots

such campaign of systematic suppression of
public opinion.
The tone of those who are in charge Of
governmental machinery has been that Of
employers to servants, lords to vassals, masters
to Slaves.
AS if the whole Supreme Civil Constitution
had been abolished, and Martial Law estab-
lished throughout the Union, the common
citizen has been bullied insulted trodden
upon, with less regard for civic rights than
was shown at the most critical period of the
War between the States.
One could almost imagine that our country
had suddenly snapped places with Belgium,
and that a lot of German bosses were in

THESE ARE YOUR LAWFUL RIGHTS

N Parton's ''Life of Andrew Jackson" it is
= stated that John Hancock, Governor of
Massachusetts, originated the demand for the
Amendments which were almost Immediately
made to the Constitution of the United States,
after it had been ratified.
Hancock had vast deal to do with starting
the Revolutionary War, and his name-as all
patriots know-appears in the largest letters,
on the Declaration of Independence.
IL he was the real author of our National
Bill Of Rights, as Parton claims, our debt to
him is even larger than is generally supposed

Few Simple Explanations OF Our Reasons for
Sending Big Armies 10 Europe

THE New York papers inform us that
100000 men registered for military
service, and that the first Army that we send
to Europe will number 625,0OO.
Of course you will understand that we
Democrats don't intend to let Roosevelt and
his volunteers go, at all.
We will send the patriots who enlisted to
avoid CONSUMPTION, and then the other patriots
who registered because they had to and were
afraid not to.
This is no time nor occasion for us to fool
away the feeting hours on Roosevelt volun-
teers.
But it is a great comfort to know exactly
why we are going to send to Europe, at the
first 60 larger force than the combined
armies of Lee and Grant, Sherman and john
stOn.
The explanation is being made in Wash
ingtOn City, in New York, in several other
towns, in the religious conventions, in the
Weekly Steam whistles; in the village pull
pits, in Congressional speeches, in special
articles, in daily editorials, in Billy Sundays
prayers, and. last but not least, in the barber
shops and drug-stores.
The unanimity which prevails among these
explanations is truly refreshing. 1t almost
causes one to rejoice at being alive. We in

man in the Presidents official family
In his eloquent and ringing speech to the
Home Club Of his Interior Department,
Brother Lane fairly outstripped Brother
Gambrell, although Brother G. is very hard

Brother Lane said
We are fighting Germany because in this war

ing democracy. We it now. This is a war
against an old spirit, ancient outwOrn spirit.
1t is against feudaIism the right of the
