Something to be Desired

The mental attitude of the public to-
ward the selective draftleaves something
to be desired There are few who really
yearn to fight in this war Practically
all who enlist do so from sense OF duty
MANY preferred to volunteer rather than
await the draft, for various reasons. But
it is no disgrace to be among those called
first to the colors. 1t should be noted
that all registrants have been drafted,
one as much as another. The only differ
ence is that by the agency of the lottery
some were called to the service immedi-
ateIy while others are on the waiting list.
Many more will almost certainly be
called, perhaps all will be ere the end OF
this war. He is deemed lucky" who is
not summoned first. That is all the dis
tinction between the registrants. Again
let it be remembered that all have been
drafted and all are liable to call 1t Is
greatly to be hoped that the soldiers OF
the first increment will carry to their
task the proper spirit-not regarding
themselves as unfortunates forced to
FIGHT the battles of the republic while
Others whose duty is just as great escape
bv the chances of lot. Rather should they
take it philosophically, seeing the fair
ness of the system, and like good soldiers
thev should welcome their fate, whether
# he to do or to die. Randolph Herald.

Beating the Newspapers
randolph Herald and News.)

The federal government expects the
newspapers to give columns and pages of
space to the numbered registration lists
so that the order of drawing in the BE-
lective draft will be known to the public,
but it makes no provision for recompens-
ing the publishers, even to the extent of
their cash outlay. And Congress is about
to impose a special tax on the newspa-
pers. because they are such nuisance
and ought to be discouraged if they cam t
be suppressed.
