WHY NOT?

Mr.. III. L. Berry Of Stanton
Dakota, suggests that war costs
money as well as blood, and that
the government should feel as
free to draft wealth as it does tc
draft men.
The principle is sound. Why
not draft money? If the citizen
must give his life to enable his
country to carry on war, why
should the property owner be
dealt with more leniently? Is
money more precious than blood
As long as the poor will do the
the men of large wealth
may be Indifferent. They may
even profit by army contracts,
but the drafting Of property
would give to the big property
owner a realizing sense Of the
sacrifice for which war calls. BY
all means let money and men be
put upon the same basis, at least,
let us not put money above men.
w. J. BRYAN.
