Why Worry About the Draft ?

Why Worry About the Draft ?
Here is consolation for every man
who has registered and expects to be
drafted in the great war lottery this
month. 1t comes from an Atlanta
boy who has been on the firing line
in France and knows what he Is
talking about:
"You have two alternatives: either
YOU are drafted are you are not. If
not, you have nothing to worry
about. If you are drafted, you have
two alternatives: you are in camp or
YOU are at the front. If you are in
camp you have nothing to worry
about. If you are at the front you
have two alternatives: either you are
held in reserve or you are sent to the
firing line. If you are in reserve
you have nothing to worry about.
If you are sent to 1.-The firing line you
have two alternatives: either you
fight or you don't. If you don't you
have nothing to worry about. Ifyou
do you have two alternatives: either
you get hnrt or you don't. If you
don't you have nothing to worry
about. If you do get hurt you have
Two alternatives: either you are
slightly hurt or badly hurt. If slightly
burt you have nothing to worry
about. If badly hurt you have two
alternatives: either you recover or
you don't. If you recover you have
nothing to worry about. If you don't
recover, then you are dead and can't
worry. So what's the use of worrying
about the draft?"

Michigan as 10 the degree of dryness we
shall have will be done away with.
Prohibitionists will be satisfied
The vets will be satisfied.
Everybody will be satisfied.
With the possible exception, Of course,
OF paid dry workers.
But they are no longer a factor. and
we doubt, if they were. whether they
could ever be satisfied.
There seems to be just one other lit
tie matter to be disposed of before We

All is clearly understandable, with the
one exception Of the votes OF Detroit's
TWO congressman, the Messrs. Doremus
and Nichols.
Their votes were cast against the

They were the only two members
from Michigan who opposed the law.
Their votes were cast neither for the
vets nor for the drys, as both sides
wanted the amendment.
II may be just possible that our dis
tinguished members in congress, not
having heard as yet that the issue has
been voted on and beaten, desired to
place themselves squarely on record as

cause these two distinguished congress
men voted against it that everybody else

When you sell a man a railway ticket,
or send a bill for goods purchased ut

or so to go with the dry statement OF

The Demand for Munitions
Is Falling Off; Therefore

Irrespective Of our faith in President
Wilson and in his intention to keep US
out of war. we agree with Congressman
Lenroot, of Wisconsin, in the stand he
took against giving to the president full
power to proclaim war during the time
that congress is not in session.
This surely is dangerous thing to do.
no matter who the man may be nor how
excellent his intentions.
II is absolutely contrary to the Amer
lean spirit and to a representative form
Of government
No one individual should have the
vested right to plunge nation into war,
nor should such huge responsibility be
placed upon his shoulders.
Rather do we agree with the resolu-
ton passed at innumerable peace meet
ings that referendum vote should be
taken of all the people before such a mo-
mentous move could come about, and
with the 10000 people in Chicago, Sum
day, who passed a resolution that an
cthDdLBO Oc Pla~Su uPVh HAAiANAohS anu
food stuffs and a referendum vote be
taken as TO whether the United States
should enter the war"
According to steel reports, the orders
for munitions are falling of weekly.
An English firm even offered to sell
them to US at lower price than our
own manufacturers.
What then are the munitions makers
TO do in order to continue their enormous
gains?
Foment war sentiment in the United
States, and that is exactly what is being
lone.

the number of cripples he met on the

Russians, Frenchmen or Canadians.

the point of solution, but just then our
detectives arrived.
