THE OLD DRAFT AND THE NEW,

When the draft was made In the
civil war each state was assigned us
quota and in turn subdivided that
among counties which in their turn
called for certain prOportlonale
number of men from each township
pedients to encourage enlistments
were put to work. Large bountles
were offered for enlistment. in cases
running as high as $1,000. This plan
proved especially profitable to SO
called "bouty Jumpers" who TOOK
the money, enlisted as per s Sa,'n,iae
and disappeared: AS these + pou n nes
frightened the community the larger
the bounty. Wealthy men drawn as
conscripts paid large sums for sub
stitutes and men of small property
often sold all they had to buy I'M
munity from military service. Among
the notable names OF those who mr.
Cleveland and James G. Blaine.
OF course disease multiplied in an
astonishing way. Men who had new
er shown signs of weakness develop
ed all manner of acute and chrome
troubles uniting them for military
service. Some men injured them
selves deliberately to avoid s. service e
thousands Hr9eEs fan Of 1 these Managed to avoid
the draft by getting out of the couE-
try to Canada, hiding in the mining
camps, taking long overland trips to
the western gold fields and like jour
nrys There were examining physl
clans who were not above suspicion
of bribery: In fact comparatively
few wealthy men were so deepiy
entangled in the draft that they did
not manage to get out OF 1t through
one and another cat hole. There
was cOWardice and corruption in the
old draft. And be it said that there
was general courage and willingness
to defend the country and do mans
duty like a man.
The present system of CONSUMPTION
is shorn of much of the worst fea-
lures of the former draft. 1t hits all
men alike. None may purchase sub
stitutes. There are no bOunties for
enlistments Conducted squarely it
is a square system under which all
men are equally liable. That there
will be those who seek advantage
for themselves is as true now as then
but the opportunity of the Stacker
has been circumscribed.
Given capable and honest examin-
ing boards, exemption boards COM
priced of courageous men of integri-
ty, the CONSUMPTION system OF the
day is square deal as between those
who are liable TO it under the age
limits set by congress. The straight
fOrdwardneSS and freedom from fav-
oritism rest on the character of ply
steal examiners and the exemption
boards

THE EXEMPTIONS.

AS the time for drawing the lots
approaches some information comes
to hand as to exemptions. The local
boards are merely to conduct, physl-
exemption. Those who ask exemp.
ton on other grounds are to plead
their cases before the board of dis
trict examiners. 1t has been an
nounced through the war department
that no class will be exempted. That
may be taken to mean that exemp-
lions will hinge mainly on physical
be seriously considered. What the
exemptions shall be concerning those
who have dependents has not been
made public but it is a fair guess
that the dependency will have to be
actual if exemption from service is
to be gained on that ground. Alto
gether it looks as though the con-
scrip were to be practically universal
of men within the specified ages.
And that is as it should be. In
emergencies like the one confronting
us the responsibility is universal and
the obligation should match the re-
sponsibility. Let every man take his
are equal and equally entitled to its
opportunities aand as equally subject
to it's exigencies.
Canada had it's experience in at
tempting to differentiate between oc-
equations. 1t failed and has been
cast aside. There should be no ex-
emptions except for physical reasons
and for those whose dependents are
actually and veritably dependent for
livelihood. And exemption boards
should be composed of men whose
integrity, strength of character and
courage are unquestionable; for
theirs is task that any man might
shrink to assume and for which only
brave, sincere and incorruptible men
are fitted.-4darshallto Times-Re-

Ours is the old flag, despite the
fact that We are young as a nation.
The Turkish star and crescent is
older than the strs and stripes, but
only as religious emblem not as
national banner. The American
flag dates back to 1777. The Rus
sian red, white and blue also goes
back to the 18th century, but only
as used separately and not combined
as now. The tri-color of France was
adopted in 1881. The British union
jack did not exist in it's present form
before 1901, the year of the creation
of the United Kingdom OF Great
Britain and Ireland. The German
red, white and black dates from 1857
as does the flag Of Austria.Hungary,
the dual monarchy being formed IN
use was adopted in 1905. Japan's
present flag was adopted in 1859:
The flag of the Chinese is as new as
their republic. Thus it arpears that
the last flag to enter the war is the
oldest of them all.

Wool at so cents is quite different
from the 10 cent prices of a few
years ago, and those who have a
while those who let their partisan
blindness lead them to sacrifice their
sheep when Wilson was elected, ex-
pecting lower tariff to ruin the
the market, now see that the argu--
ments of the tariff boosters was all
popycock. OF course, nobody claims
that prices would be so high except
for the war conditions, but the fact
remains that a whole lot of people
have been fooled into voting against
their own best interests by the spur
ious cry of tariff protection.
