Under an ordinance proposed by
two council committees the city Judge

ary calls now being made on the city

LOYALTY TO THE GOVERNMENT

The troubles President Wilson has
experienced with those opposed to the
new army legislation are not to be
compared to those which President
Lincoln was compelled to face during
the Civil war In 1863 there was
plotting and roiting. The difference
between what took place then and
now lies in the attempt to hamper
the government. The anti-draft
conspirators of the Civil War period
were to a man, political opponents of
the Lincoln Administration. With
oath-bound socities and other agen-
cies more open, the Democratic party
sought to prevent the use of north's
man power to preserve the union.
Today, no Republican, openly or
secretly is engaged in trying to
thwart the administration in its plans
for carrying on the war The oppo-
sition to the registration and the
draft proceeds almost entirely from
the group of related political beliefs
which are generally included in the
term Socialist OF these the most
active are the |. w. w. Against the
Socialist and the l. w. w. the Repu-
blican party has always sternly set its
face. The Democrats, on the other
hand, have frequently given aid and
comfort to both.
