thieves; about the same as if two
State street stores sent out their en-
plOyes to fight and kill each other
for opportunity to sell and deliver
goods. Or something like the news
paper wars for circulation we have
had in Chicago in recent years.
If you don't want to go to war
yourself you should do nothing which
will cause any one else to go. Re
member this: do unto others as
you would have others do unto you"
which also includes: Do not unto
others as you would not have others
do unto you. This simple tenet must
forever be the foundation Of all JUS
tice, ethics and order among men.
Let no one imagine that universal
military training will be either uni
Versal or democratic. It will be uni
versal for the strong and healthy
sons of farmers and working men.
But the sons of the industrial and
financial OverlOrds will find various
ways to escape it. Money and Gin

direction. There is no reason to be-
lieve that military doctors and Off
Gals would not accept a little graft.
To them the examinations would
probably be a great source of reve-
nue.. No military institution can be
democratic. All military institutions
and operations are aUtOcratic in their
nature and are based on blind, I'M
reasoning obedience of the many
under the few.
Under universal service the officers
would still belong to the ruling class
in society. The members of the up
per class who served at all would, Of
course, serve as officers, not as pri-
Yates. Working men and farmers
would have to obey orders and do the
hard and dirty work. Where is your
democracy?
