ADDRESS BY JUDGE EVANS
Judge E. A. Evans was the first
speaker and he said:
"The war between autOcracy and
democracy is being waged by the c1tl-
zen soldier on our side against the
professional soldiers of Germany, and
the American people are confident OF
the outcome. He pointed to the fact
that the individuality of the citizen
soldiers of this country makes them
superior to the machine-made profess
siOnaI soldiers. The COnscripted sol
der has overcome the prejudice that
has existed against the drafted SOL
der and he is now ranked even super
iOr to the volunteer who volunteered
to secure a soft birth and to avoid gen
bright
star in American history, the heroic
figure and idol of the American people,
today as in the past, is the volunteer
who refuses to await the draft, or the
age Of twenty-one, and who fights
when the country needs fighters and
works when the country needs work
ers, who has no time for camp or fort
in times of peace but who in times OF
war would not volunteer if he could
not fight, and who is unwilling that
others should do his fighting for him"
MI. Evans charged the boys with
the duty of being good citizens and
exercising the great privilege OF cltl-
zenship-the privilege of creating pub
lie sentiment. eff any of you come
from localities where sentiment on
this war question is not what it should
be- YOU DOinting to the sOldiers) will
be remiss in your duties if you exert
that influence which is yours, and ere
ate the proper sentiment"
