CONSCIENTIOUS DIRECTORS

himself unmoved by the assertion
that there are things worse than
war; FOR he has never seen these
things specified. Any abominati0n
from cannibalism to the Inquiston
can be similarly defended.
The conscientious objector" finds
himself untroubled by the charge that
he thinks life is too precious to be
laid down for great causes; his
willingness to lay down his own life
for the cause of conscience is his all
sufficient answer to such Islander.
War to the Conscientious objector"
is simply the agreement between
men that, under certain conditions
and for certain purposes, moral law
can be suspended. Murder, theft,
falsehood deceit, violence-these can
be made right, honorable, and of
good report. This the conscientious
objector" finds himself forced to
deny. To his mind, moral law can
no more be suspended than the law
of gravition. He believes the will
of God is not in mans power to
break or amend. Men can say, if
he so will, evil be thou my good"
But evil still remains evil!
1t is this which the conscientious
objector" today asserts, and by this
assertion he finds himself forced to
stand at any cost. What the state
will do to him or with him, does not
greatly concern him. For not him
self, but the state is no trial The
old battle for liberty is again joined.
If the state harries the conscientious
objector," Furnishes him, kills him, in
stead of enlisting him in those. forms
of national service which he can
gladly render-then is the modern
state become as the medieval church,
an instrument of persecution. Then
in the name of patriotism will the
old crimes done in the name of re-
ligion be done again. The trenches
of France and Russia may or may
not be the backgrounds of liberty;
history will decide that question gen
erations hence. But that the ex-
emption tribunals before which the
plea of the conscientious objector"
will be heard and answered is such
a battle-ground, is already plain. The
question, as the world safe for de-
mocracy?" must be answered at
home before it can be answered
abroad.
John Haynes Holmes.
The Northwest worker. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1915-1917, 1917-08-09

CONSCIENTIOUS objector" is an I'M
fortunate phrase used to designate
those persons whose ideals forbid
their participation in military service.
] say unfortunate for the reasons
that it lays emphasis upon the less
important and therefore wrong as
pect of the controversy now before
us. 1t is true of course that the
conscientious objector" is opposed to
war under all circumstances, and OBJ
the operation of war.
But this is only one very limited,
although at present momentous, ap-
plication of fundamental spiritual
principle-that of the integrity of
the individual conscience, and of free
dom in the maintenance of that in
tegrity. Through a score of CEN
turtles, numberless brave men and
women have asserted this principle
in the face of the tyranny of church
and state. Their action wrought
martyrdom and immortal renown for
themselves, and liberty for all other
men. Their sacrifice is the proud
est chapter in the history of democ-
racy. The conscientious objector"
is today perpetuating this tradition
He is indicating the age-old prin-
ciple of freedom of conscience in OPP
position to a modern evil, just as
his predecessors indicated it in OPP
position to ancient evils. He is
writing anew the story of human
liberty.
In regarding war as an evil in
which conscience forbids participa-
ton, the conscientious objector" pre-
sents a case which can be clearly de-
fined. He finds himself unable to
accept Characterization of war as
necessary, defensive, beneficent; for
he sees that statesman have never
lacked DISCUSSES in which to mask
the horrible reality. The German
war is commended to the German
people by their government as war
of defense.
The conscientious director" finds
the plea that war may be fought
for some great end of humanity and
civilization unconvincing; for he sees
that history is one long tale of So
called indispensable ends, offered in
justification of abhorrent means. In
fanticide was justified by no less
man than Plato, as a means to the
end of racial progress.

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION

In the newspapers that are boost
ing the war there is a very frequent
reiteration of the assertion that it
is an honor to be drafted
Just why is this so often re-
peated? One would be led by this
repetition to believe that there must
be some doubt about it. "He doth
protest too much"
Among the young men between
q and 81 there seems to be diff
ferent view of the subject. They do
not ask each other, "Have you
had the honor to be drafted?"
On the contrary, the question they
ask is, did you escape?" Or, Were
you caught?" These and questions
of similar tenor are the ones you
can hear if you mingle with the
young men.

of the policeman on the beat wakes

on the marble falcades, and the faint
lap of the river completes the beau

But 100000 nobodies are still
in town. The narrow, hot streets of
New York's East Side are full of
them. Gasping with the sultry heat
they lie upon the stoops and side
walks. Mouths open, heaving bodies

WELLS SANGUINE
OF ACQUITTAL ON
SEDITION CHARGE

Tuesday Federal Judge Neterer
overruled the demurrer motion made
by Attorney George Vandeveer for
Hulet M. Wells, Sam Sadler and Aaron
Fisherman, defendants in the "sedi-
ton" cases arising from their indict-
ment by the grand jury under charges
of opposing the enactment and effect
of the draft law. The motion for de-
murrer was made on the grounds that
insufficient evidence had been pre-
scented to the grand jury and that the
alleged "seditious" acts directed
against the enforcement of the draft
law had been charged as committed
before the passage of the law. Judge
Neterer overruled the demurrer on the
grounds that the so-called "seditious"
acts were directed against the policy
of the government in seeking to es-
tablish it's military and that it was
not necessary to prove that an actual
act had been committed against the
draft law specifically.
Wells said, when interviewed, that
he was not discouraged by the action
of the judge in overruling the de
murrer, as it was not of much signifi-
canoe, being expected anyhow. 81 have
absolutely no doubt Of the outcome"
said Wells. IN jury can be found
who will convict on the evidence and
facts as they can be presented either
by the prosecution or the defense"

PEACE GROUPS GROWING

Pierre Renaudel, the leader of
the majority faction of the French
Socialist party, has now also come
out for peace without annexation
and without indemnities. This is
exactly the kind of peace demanded
by the Russian Socialists, the Ger
man Socialists, the Austrian So
cialists and the Independent Labor
party of England-the real So
cialist party of Great Britain.
