CONSUMPTION

A JUSTLY planned conscription is bet
\ ter than the volunteer system:
First. Because it gets the rnen the ma
tion needs.
Second. Because it comes with the in
evitability of established authority, which
leaves no doubt in the minds of the re.
cruits and their families as to whether
or not their services are really needed.
Third. Because it stimulates central
ized efficiency in providing for the fami-
lies left behind; volunteer soldiers are
aided only by volunteer civilians, and il
volunteer soldiers are scarce. volunteer
contributors to aid-funds are more
scarce.
Fourth. Because its definition of the
exact way in which each recruit can help
is scientific; whereas when the men
choose the form Of service they prefer
they have no way of knowing where
their peculiar abilities are most needed.
Fifth. Because 1t keeps producers Of
food and equipment at home.

JOHN G. JOHNSON

THERE are men whose places can be
filled only by the ages. In sheer in
teilectual ability John G. johnson sur
passed all living Philadelphans. In a
profession demanding the most rigorous
processes of thought he lowered above
his, contemporaries. Throughout the
Union he was recognized as the greatest
Of living lawyers. To his Unrivaled pro-
fessional attainments he added char
acter which manifested itself In dis
tinguished, though little known or ap-
preciated, public service. Gratuitously
he brought his tremendous power of clear
thinking to the solution of momentous
public questions on many occasions, al
ways with buoyant optimism which re-
flected his Americanism and his belief
in the great destiny Of this city, His
death is a calamity not only to this city
and this State, but to the whole nation.

My brother enlisted. leaving good posi-

mans son. who has no one to support nor
any position to leave. stand around idle?
This country has been and is a paradise
for the rich. Then why should a poor bow
like my brother support the country for a
rich mans son who will not shoulder a gun
and fight for the luxury he is ENJOYING? +?
There is something wrong somewhere. 1t

patriotism in his heart than the noisy young

very thing about which I complain, he was
insulted because the chance was given by
the thoughtless ideas of the cafe orchestra
