rested because they did not know
enough to register for the draft.
Instead of the officers explaining
things to them and giving them
the help needed, they are un-
tremendously slapped into Jail
and roundly abused from the
bench and by the lickspittle news
papers that grovel at the feet Of
big business. !"
The above is taken from the
Hibbing Mesaba Ore. We beg to
differ with Editor Atkinson on
the subject Ignorant for
eigners" were given every chance
in the world to register, even af-
ter they had been arrested.
Those who were Ignorant" of
the law in the matter, did regis
ter. The trouble was that the
majority of the draft evaders
were not Ignorant foreigners
but ''smart" foreigners who
tried to slip one over on the
free" Americans. The same
bunch do this on each and every
occasion and it seems to be the
impression among them that
American laws are singly and
solely for Americans. Your boy
and my boy had to register and
obey the laws of the land. 1t did
not cost a single cent and only a
little effort to get your name on
the draft list. The majority Of
the evaders did not even make
the little effort to obey the laws.
They went so far as to hold Sc
cret meetings at which they
decided to defy the government.
This, in the face of the informa-
ton sent out by the government
that foreigners" would not be
taken for the army and that they
would be exempted. We cannot
see this thing in the same light
as the Ore editor. We are Of the
honest opinion that it was nothing
more nor less than a Socialistic
move to harass the government
and the same was done with pre-
meditated intent. It is also our
opinion that it is dead wrong to
feed these fellows in idleness in
the jails of the country while our
American boys are called out to
fight in a war not Of our making
and only gone into to make the
countries better from which
these slackers came. These slack
ers should be made to work for
the army provided they cannot
be made to fight with the army.
To put them i'm Jail and feed them
at the expense of the citizen who
is already doing everything in
his power, besides giving his sons
to the cause, is dead wrong. That
is just what they are looking for.
We have no sympathy to waste
on the law evaders. Our sym
pathy goes out to the true Amer
lean homes from which true
American sons have gone forth to
battle for their homes and coun-
try and the homes and country of
the Stacker who is getting fat in
the. jails Of the land and is patting
himself on the back over the nice
way he put it over on the Ameri-
cans. There is no such thing as
an ignorant foreigner" in this
country. If he was ignorant he
would not be here.

Burlington was the speaker of the even
ing and other guests included members
of Bright Star Rebeksh lodge. The gath
ering went on record as favoring the con-
servation of grain now used by brewers
and distillers and a resolution embodying
this view was drafted and copies were
ordered forwarded to President Wilson
and the district representatives in Con-
gress. 1t was a signally successful OBJ.
servance and the patriotic message
brought by DR.. Braker was received with
acclaim. Frank w. jackson presided and
patriotic demonstration opened the
exercises when detail of cheyaliers en-
tered the hall bearing the colors. The
audience sang America" and the pro-
gram was opened with prayer by Rev.

The entertainment included a vocal
solo by Miss Henrietta Inglis, an instru-
mental number by Mrs. w. c. johnson,
reading by DR.. +. NJ Lynde and solo
by Fred Inglis, all of the participants
being literally encored. In responding
to Introductory remarks by Chairman
jackson, Rev. DR.. Braker complimented
the Odd Fellows for their display of pa
triotism and urged his hearers to accord
the president their whole hearted support
in the present crisis. The speaker went
on TO, stress the Importance Of being
ready to assist wherever and whenever
possible and said that every organized
fraternity has a plain duty to perform
in extending its aid. He spoke interest
ingly of the remarkable strides made by
Odd Fellowship in America and said that
its mission among fraternities is bigger
to-day than ever. Afterward there was
talk of sending a telegram to the presi-
dent and once the sentiment of the meet
ing was avowed in favor of grain con-
servation. the committee, consisting OF
Frank w Jackson. Alexander Duncan
and Judge II. w. Scott set about to in
troduce the resolution, which is given as
follows:
"Whereas, the breweries and distiller-
les of our country use each year over six
million bushels Of wheat, which will give
lne and one-half barrels of -four to each
,itizen of the United States;
