NOT LIKE GOOD GEORGIANS.

To the comparatively few persons in
Georgia who are kicking about the
army draft law and permitting their
tongues to become too loose, the best
advice that can be given at this time
is, Keep still"
Most Georgians are for the draft be-
cause they have common sense enough
to see that it is the only way to raise
large army, and that a large army
must be raised The volunteer system
is not a success, and as this is true.
where can the nation get an army of
men unless it drafts them? 1t is the
part of wisdom to make soldiers of
only such men as can best be spared
from civil life and who also are the
best sort of soldier raw material.
AT several places in Georgia there
have been either individual outbursts
or meetings at which a number of
persons condemned the selective draft
principle. But none of these persons
has offered any suggestion as to how
the United States is to protect the
rights of its citizens and the honor of
Its name and the principles for which
it stands unless it does raise an army
by the very means they condemn. Geor-
gia right now is 1900 men short of her
proportion of recruits for the regular
army; these men who are denouncing
the selective draft, if they are eligible
would be at better business at the re-
! cruiting stations.
The resort to the selective draft was
because of the existence of what may
be called, in the vernacular, a ground
hog case"-there was simply nothing
else to be done. There was no other
way to meet the big crisis in the ma.
tons life. There was no other wa.
to put the nation in condition to de
ifend itself The truth is that a grea
many of the men who are demandin,
the right to volunteer for war servic,
are in reality most DESTROYS of tn
privilege of declining to volunteer
And right there may be found the BIZ

The Morning News believes that the
great majority of the American people
approve the method of raising an army
and are ready to do what they can to
meet the expense of war. The quiet
registration of more than 100000

maximum draft ages and the oyersub-

erty Loan are evidence enough that the
war is popular and that both the meth
cd of raising funds are popular. The
Morning News regrets very much that
any Georgians should, at this critical
time, begin to buck in an effort to stir
up trouble on account of the draft.
They are not acting like good Geor-
gians They are only stirring up trou
BILE for themselves, after all, and for
their own sakes should keep still
