THE sCARECRoW OF FAVORITIsM.

"rhauS Heaven there 10 be no hired sub
,titutcs in dis draft" says the Tacoma Tribune,
recalling Civil wal days. adding: "Selective con-
scripton puts all Americans back the footing
where they placed by the Declaration of
independence There is to be no favortism, no
bountes to attract enliStments, no hired substl-
tutes for the rich man son who does not want to
serve Every one of those registration cards will
look alike to the army general staff and there
ism any more dbooded, impersonal outfit in
the country than that nor one preparing for any
more grim business than it is.
We hear it said now and then. by those whose
outlook has been warped by life's struggle to a
measure of class prejudice, often by those of
anarchistic rather than socialistic views whose
minds are overloaded with the delusion that the
world is all wrong and that only they are right,
that the rich mans son, the influential mans
son. will be exempted, because the man OF money,
the man of influence, can accomplish anything
Such talk is to the sheerest nonsense and 1t
would seem that it would be so to any one who,
studying the provisions of the seective conscrlp-
ton bill and noting particularly the strict lmta-
tons upon exemption, and the punishments pre-
scribed for those who obtain 1t fraudulently Is
willing to ascrbe to our government any intention
of performing its functions properly. Ii they are
not willing to do that, if they believe that our gov
eminent does not and, in this instance, will not
strive to treat all men as if they were free and
equal" then they it to themselves to leave
the country-and the country will be glad to get
rid of them.
If there be any preference, any discrimination
in that BILL it is in favor of the poor mans son
the young man who is working in the factory or
the mill, in the mine on the farm, particularly
the young man who has parents, brothers and
sisters or his own children dependent upon him.
There is special exemption for those having de-
pendents to support and who more than the poor
mans son would be most apt to be SO situated?
Certainly not the rich mans son nor the son OF
man of sany great influence.
So far as human frailty can foresee and devise
a general plan that will be applicable to most in
stances the seective CONSUMPTION bill as drafted
by the army general staff, advocated by the presi-
dent and enacted by congress is, we believe, the
fairest system we of the present day can provide
to obtain from each individual citizen the per-
Torrance Of that duty, whatever it may be, -he
owes his country. Human frailty may have erred
some in the planning of it and human frailty may
err in the administration of it, but no plan is
perfect, nor is any man or set of men.
