UNIVERSAL SERVICE.

By vote of 397 to "a in the
house and 81 TO 8 in the senate ia
vorable to universal service, congress
gives notice to friend and foe alike
that its declaration OF war meant
war.
In everything except the creation
of great armies we have been quick
to avail ourselves OF modern discoy-
cry and experience. 1t has been SAID
that prejudice or sentiment in behalI
OF the volunteer system is natural,
but it is no more natural tnan deVO-
ton to ox-carts and flint locks. 1t is
nothing but bourbOnism. Upon
whatever error or weakness it has
rested, it has been removed at last
by action more nearly unanimous
than has ever before attended so
radical departure in national policy
No other congress ever met an emer-
gency so grave with such unity and
courage.
The selective draft is not to fill
the ranks with unwilling or degrad-
ed conscripts. 1t establishes for the
first time in America binding stand
ards of the highest duty and service.
Organizing men for war, 1t organizes
them also for industry, and, we be-
lieve, will organize them for victory
for peace. With absolute equality Of
obligation, no great republic can be
true to itself and fail to see in ti.iS
call to arms a splendid expression Of
democracy to be understood eNc.l in
Germany.
Universal service will make avail
able at the earliest possible day and
in ways most honorable all the ener-
gy which otherwise might be waste
fully expended in volunteering. NO
discredit attaches to it. Nobody is
bullied or shamed into service. No
body escapes by money or favor.
Those who are summoned to arms
are distinguished above their fell
lows, and many a man called 70
work or rejected will envy them. We
shall have no Slackers-Only good
citizens, good soldiers and true pat
riots, whether in khaki or in Overalls.
The United States is thus to con-
front a mlitarism misused with a
militant democracy just as efficient
in all its physical aspects and I'M
superior in its purpose.
We shall have no men selected Tor
this or that reason to serve as i'm
perial guards or in other arstOcrat-
is corps, the recipients OF princely
favors. Every soldier in our great
army will be a picked man, carrying
special and very notable way he has
received evidence of his countrys sa
cred trust.
Universal service is to be a new
and perhaps a stern trial for the
American people, but the issues at
stake will speedily justify it. We are
at war with dominant and preda-
tory class which keeps the world I'M
der arms and always subject to men,
ace To free mankind from this in
tolerable burden, to break the ruth
less power that wickedly assumes by
divine right TO destroy peoples and
states. and to open u the paths of
the sea to all the messengers of
peace, the use of every citizen in
some capacity is not only warranted
but Imperative, if liberty is not to
perish.
The universal service to which we
have pledged ourselves is to rid the
earth forever of the brutal wrongs
now outraging humanity and chal-
Longing civilization. 1t is the noblest
Of the might of a
democracy correctly inspired that
the world has vet witnessed.-New
Y ork World.

1T is a sad and solemn thing to
have boy go to war, but it is also a
sad thing not to have a boy to 60,
but it would be still sadder to have
a boy that wouldn't go if he We're
needed" says the Logan Observer.

SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT.

How many men should be enlist
ed! As many as the government
asks for And how much money
should be appropriated? AS much as
the government thinks necessary. In
dividual opinions are merged in one
voice, the voice of the government.

the spread Of disease and death,
especially when 1t has been diff
ficult to find the true etiologic
agency. II IS recalled that not
long ago q case Of myxedema
was regarded as the outcome of
counting money.
Because Of such apparently
contentious, an ac-
tual investigation Of the bacteria
present on soiled money was
made by Professor Hilditch, who
arrived at the conclusion that
money constitutes an unimpor-
tant factor in the transmission
of disease. It is pointed out
that a more frequent redemp-
ton of soiled and worn bills is
necessary, yet the facts and
evidences at hand do not justify
the needless alarming Of the
public by rash statements con-
corning currency.

HOW | WOULD MAKE THE
WORLD.

An eastern magazine is run
ming series of short articles by
different authors showing how
the world would have been made
if the writer had been givenst. e
job of formation. Here is our
contribution:
It might not be better, but it
would be different.
The sun would shine at night
when light was needed and not
in the day time when everybody
can see without difficulty.
Hot weather would occur in
mid-Winter so coal could be saved
and cold weather in the summer
time SO ice bills could be lessened.
Garden truck would grow as
vigorously as weeds and weeds
would be as easy to kill off as
garden truck.
Boys would love to hoe corn
and NOW the lawn and hate to
play baseball or go in swimming.
Children would banker after
cornbread, beans, potatoes and
graham mush and loatne ice
cream, candy and all kinds of
confectionery.
Every kid would have at least
one grandfather and one grand
mother whether or not it ever
had any father or mother.
The only way infants could
be made to cry would be by walk
ing the floor with them nights.
Girl babies would be born
without tongues but would have
four ears.
Wives would blow their hus-
bands up for hanging around the
house evenings and beg them to
60 down and spend their times
with their cronies.
The height Of fashion for la
dies would be q print gown, made
plain, to 60 barefooted and the
style would never change.
Wives would arise in the
nighttime and put money in
their husbands pockets instead
of taking it out.

Men would be paid good wa
ges for playing Kelly pool, bill
lizards, seven-up and poker and
be compelled to pay a big price.
for the privilege of digging
bitches or doing any kind of
hard work.
Little fish would be the ones
to get away instead Of the big
ones.
People would rush into the
country newspaper offices to pay
their subscriptions in advance
and the editors would not have
to chase after subscribers.
Doctors would be fined for
each day one Of their patients
was sick and be imprisoned a
year when one died.
Lawyers would be compelled
to work for nothing and pay the
costs when they lost a case in
court and when they won the
client would Tx the fee and not
the attorneys.
Bankers would coax people to
borrow money and not have to
be persuaded and secured be-
fore making loans.
It would be a crime to present
q bill and an attempt to collect
q debt would be a penitentiary
offense.
The men who create the wealth
of the country would own it.
One requirement for United
States senator or representative
would be that ne should be deaf
and dumb.
In case Of war officers would
be placed on the fighting lines
in the order Of their rank, the
highest in front, and the priv
ates would occupy posts Of OBJ
servation in the rear out of
danger. Frank Eddy.

Clews Sees Peace Prospects.

Henry Clews, the New York
banker, measures the war situa-
ton in the following language:
Peace prospects are strength
ening. The crumbling Of Aus
tria as a result Of the splendid
Italian victories is imminent.
The allies are also wearing down
their opponents on the western
front; while Germany seems UNI
able to carry on any vigorous
movement against Russia, ex-
cept through intrigue. Germany
is beaten but not broken. Pre-
