ENGLAND AND CONSCRIPTION

AZ Iavortte method OF those who. seek to create SEN
stiment against American participation in the war is TO
throw stones at England, and to inspire the belief that
this is England's war. The Herald has recently run
across a local criticism in relation to Canadian con-
scription. 1t would be more becoming of England, SO
the criticism runs, for her to- adopt a conscrtption law
to apply to her own people before forcing CONSUMPTION
on Canada in order to draft Canadians to go across the
seas to fight England's battles for her.
That criticism contains three naisstatements Of
fact.
First, England has a CONSUMPTION law, contrary to
the intimation contained In the criticism. And that
CONSUMPTION law is in active operation. The greater
part Of England's millions were enrolled under the vol
unteer system. and right nobly did Englands manhood
come forth. But the volunteer system was draining the
country Of it's best blood, while the slackers remained
safe at home. Therefore the CONSUMPTION law was en-
acted. and today. in England. men are ordered, not re-
quested, to join the colors.
Second, England has no more to do with Canadian
conscrtption than Che United States has. In all essen
tails Canada is a self-governins nation. She levtes her
own taxes, spends her own money, and makes what ar
engagements she pleases with reference to the raising Of
this war. She has done that Of her own free will. And
1t, is Of her own free will that she has adopted conscrip-
ton. being impelled thereto by causes similar to those
which impelled the mother country to adopt a like
course.
Third, the Canadians are not fighting Englands
battles They are fghting their own battles in their own
war, and it was the realization that this was their war;
that on Its issue depends freedom in Canada as else
where in the world. that prompted the Canadians to
send forth the magnificent army that they have sent,
and to make the tremendous sacrifices that they have
made.
We Americans will do we'll to realize. as the Cana
dams have done, that this war is not a European con-
hict, but that 1t is a war fateful to every free people
on the face of the earth. We will do well IL we realize
soon. as we must realize some day, that this war is the
personal affair Of every American citizen. We will do
we'll to forget old antagonisms and ancient wrongs and
take upon ourselves in all earnestness the duties that
the war brings us. '.

A MENACE TO%BE DEALT WITH

The governors of most Of the northwestern states
recognize in the I. W. w. movement a menace to be
dealt with. No man of sense can fail so to recognize it.
1t is a menace in. the fruit regions of the far west in the
mining regions of the mountains, and in the grain grow
ing districts Of the upper Mississippi valley. And no
amount of blinking at the facts can change them.
1t is an impudent falsehood to say that the I. W.. w.
movement is a labor movement having for its purpose
the securing of fair wages and decent working condi-
tons for working men. 1t Is nothing Of the sort. The
i. W. w. organization, in so far as its principles have
been reduced to a formula, is a denial Of the right of
any man to own property enough to pay wages to any
other man. And, according to the tenets of the society,
the fact that any man has property that needs to be
cared for, and hires other men to work for him is a
demonstration that he has acquired his property wrong
fully. and that property may rightfully be taken by 9TH
es who have none, and who desire it. That is the es-
sential principle of the organization.
There can be no such thing as a truce or an agree
ment with such a society. It is based on lawlessness.
# does not profess to regard a contract with an employ
Ell as anything more than a convenience, to be repudi-
ated and cast aside whenever something else appears
to be more convenient. The attitude Of every decent,

The Press and the Treasury.

Official bulletin, L. S. government
Since the United States entered the war
thousands Of patriotic Americans have
volunteered their services to the govern
ment. Some volunteered their services IN
the army, some in the navy, and some ii
various civil employments In addition.
many in the two Liberty loan campaigns
and in other great national measures have
devoted and are deyoting all or part OF
their time, AT a nominal compensation or
entirely without compensation 10 the serv-
ice OF their country
If ever list is made OF these Ameri-
can citizens who have volunteered their
services TO their country at war, it will
be found that no calling, profession, or
business can show a higher percentage
M any can be shown 50 high as that OF
the press of the nation, The large city
daIhes, with their tremendous circulatlons
and the small local weekhes, that pene-
trate into the humblest homes OF the
jewellers in villages and on farms, alike
have devoted their talents, energies, and
space to their Government
The loyal toreign-languaee papers have
been as generously patriotic as the Others
and have preached Ame1icanism and duty
in 50 different languages
In the second Liberty loan campaign
az in the first, the newspapers Of the
country have shown their unselhsh
patriotism, and the splendid results in
each campaign are IN a great measure evi
denee OF their power and influence

FROM DAY TO DAY.

There was sound philosophy in the
statement made by President Samuel
Gompcrs OF the American Federation
of Labor i'll the course Of his address
at the Buffalo convention. This state
mcnt was to the effect that the entire
relations between capital and labor
during this war could not be set
tied en- bloc, but that the questions
over which there were differences must
he dealt with as they arise. The sat
isfactory adjustment of each partie.
ular was a from day TO day prob
lem. President Gompers prescribed in
this address as general formula that
all problems should be solved in a way
that would not interfere with the
government 3 successful prosecution
of the war. This formula was ac
ccptcd by the great organization of
which Mr.. Gompers was the head. Ii
has not been fully accepted by all the
subsidiary organizations of the Ameri
can Federation Of Labor but there are
indications that dissent and opposi-
tion are melting away, and that the
members of these will allow themselves
TO Toe qwayed by their better impulses
in willing cooperation with the efforts
Of the national government.
President Gompers S from day to
day philosophy can be made use OF
in far wider application than that
which he intended in his address al
Buffalo. 1t puts human conduct where
II belongs into the world of aetua
/ experiences instead of the world OF

KILLED BY GAS.

BURLINGTON, Nov. 20.-Myron l..
Young, 81, residing in Cambridge, was
overcome by gas from the exhaust of
MS automobile in garage at % North
Prospect street Yesterday.
The body was not discovered for
several hours, when all hopes of resus-
citating the man were gone.
Mr.. Young was visiting his sister and
husband, Mr. and Mrs. Hollis Gray of
Brookes avenue. He left the house
after breakfast to get his ear at the
garage, not intending to return
After dinner Mr.. Gray went to the
same garage To get his car. When he
opened the door he found the body
IF Mr.. Young lying on the floor near
he machine which he had evidently
been getting ready to take out The
englne was running.
The man had been dead about two
hours. Mr.. Gray hastily summoned the
police ambulance and pulmotor, and
DR. Lyman and DR.. Beecher were
called. The two physicians worked
over the unconscious man nearly an
hour with no results, and the body
was removed to the undertaking par
lors Of T. W. Quincy, where an autopsy
was performed.
1t is believed that Mr.. Young was
IN the act Of initiating a rear tire of
his machine when the poisonous ex-
haust gas from his engine struck him
full IN the face, causing him to be
overcome. The barn was closely shut.
Mr.. Young is survived by his wife
and three children.
