Details Improperly Presented.


Under the caption, "The Fault in
Washington" the Minneapolis Jour-
nal prints the following, which covers
the subject at issue:
There is too much misunderstanding
over the large number of exemptions
being claimed under the conscription
law. There is general impression
that the quality of American youth
has deteriorated and that great num-
bers of them are trying to dodge their
duty. There is truth in this, but it is
not wholly true.
The trouble in the main is with the
way the draft law has been presented
to the people.
The one thing that has been con-
stantly emphasized since the law was
passed has been the exemption feature.
Not duty or patriotism has been
preached, but the broad and beneficent
scope of the exemption clause has been
thoroughly and everlastingly discussed
from Washington
This has had it's very natural effect.
The tone of the whole business has
been exemption, not service. The rules
when given out began with "much
talk" about exemptions.
AS to the quality of Americas
young men, don't forget 809,743 of
them are now voluntarily in the coun-
try's army and navy. Put it up to the
rest Of the young men of the country
in the right light and maybe the
slackers will be few.

During the 1909-11-13 sessions of
the legislature, William A. Campbell,
representative from the And (Minne-
apolis) legislative district, talked a
great deal and was regarded as being
radical and cratic, but he was ever the
champion Of the cause of the "under
dog" and never stood in awe Of the
rich and powerful. Mr.. Campbell was
promoted to the senate in 1914, and in
the 1857 sessions he took a promi-
nent part and was re arded as one of
the really big men Of that body. Since
a state of war has existed between this
country and Germany, when he could
spare the time from his business, he
has earnestly and eloquently preached
the doctrine Of true Americanism. The
Minneapolis Journal, which has not al
ways regarded Mr.. Campbell with
favor, pays him this compliment:
'The Journal wants to emphasize the
good work in this direction done
singlehanded by Senator W. A. Camp
bell who has delivered fifty or more
addresses in the state, without charge,
with telling effect. Senator Campbell
is a patriot, and he has the ability to
drive patriotism home to prejudiced
audience as few men are able to do

Every day we read of new barbara
ties being practiced by the inhuman
enemy blackguards. Not the least of
these to come to our attention and
this story is confirmed by the United
States war Department. the drown
ing of the crew Of the British steamer,
Belgian Prince, by the commander Of
a submarine. Destroying the ship,
ordering the crew to the deck Of the
submarine, disabling the boats and
taking from the men their life pre-
servers, the dastardly commander pro-
ceeded several miles and then sub
merged. Only one man escaped, and
he had hidden life belt beneath his
macintosh and was rescued by a
passing steamer. Such procedure as
this is not war but fiendish murder
an act which none but an Internal
monster would perpetrate.

A Greek who was waiting to be ex-
amined, under the selective draft law
at Grand Rapids in Itasca county, last
week is reported in the Herald-Review
as saying:
81 came over here to make money,
and the reason I came was because I
could make money easier than over in
Greece. When I get enough money;
intend to return to Greece. l didn' t
come here to fight. If want to fight,
I'll go back and fight for Greece"
What godsend it would be to this
country if that Grand Rapids Greek
and thousands of others like him
were to return to the land Of their
birth. This country is rurturing a
brood of foreign vipers that some day
will cause serious trouble.
