JOBLEss AND NON. ESSENTIALS

Continued from Page One)
day at terrific speed We must make
Of ourselves the same sort Of effect
i've machine.
Must Make Ourselves Effective
ut is enough to ask what would
happen if every man in the nation
turned his hand to effective work.
We must make ourselves effective,
We must organize for the future. We
must make vast Withdrawals for the
army and Immediately close up the
ranks Of industry behind the gap with
an accelerating production of every
useful thing in necessary measure.
How is this to be done?
"The answer is plain. The first
step toward the solution of the diff
ficulty is to prohibit engagement by
able-bodied men in the field of hurt
full employment, idleness or ineffec-
tual employment, and thus induce and
persuade theSvast, wasted excess into
useful fields,
Great Possibilities in Improvement
"The very situation we are now con-
sidering, however, offers great posi-
bilities in Improvement of the draft
as well as great possibilities for the
composition of the labor situation By
effective administration Of the draft.
Considering the selective service law,
we see two principal causes Of de-
ferment Of the call to military SER
vice-exempt and the order num-
bers assigned by lot. The exemptions
fail into two conspicuous
categories ~ dependency and indus
trial employment. One protects do
nestle religions, the other the econom-
IL interests of the nation. Between
the two there is an inevitable hiatus,
for it is demonstrated true that thou
sands, if moi millions Of dependency
exemptions have no exeet of indus
trial protection whatever. One OF
the unanswerable criticisms of the
draft has been that it takes men from
the farms and from all useful en-
and marches them past
crowds of idlers and loafers away to
the army. The remedy is simple
"a couple the industrial basis with
other grounds for exemption and toll
REQUIRE that any man pleading ex-
amption on any ground shall show also
that he is contributing effectively toI
the industrial welfare Of the nation"

Many more letters have been written
to Santa Claus by the children of Idaho
'county during the last week. The let
ters, which were sent in care of the
Free Press, it is hoped, will prove fully
as interesting as those printed last week.
Some letters, including one left at the
office door, evidently are from children
who could barely hold pencil in their
hand. To the editor, who is accustom
ed to reading all sorts of handwriting. |
"A few of the letters have proven illegi |
BILE, but it is firmly believed that Santa
Claus can adjust his spectacles and de
cipher them without great difficulty.
For the information of the children
who have so painstakingly written to
Santa Claus, we win say that the letters
viii be forwarded to him in care of the
Spokane postmaster, on Saturday, next,
and Santa Claus viii call for the letters
when on his way to Idaho county. If
possible, he says, he will fill all requests,
but should he be unable to do so, the
children must not be disappointed, for
Santa has names Of homeless children in
France and Belgium who because of the
var have not had presents for four
cars.
