President Wilson in arranging the Sc
lective draft was anxious should be
done. He wanted no hardship worked
upon anybody, as there were sufficient
men without dependents to bear the
Country's fighting burden. The Old
Roman sees the Jackson case in a diff
ferent light. He realizes that Jackson,
instead OF being a Stacker, did what he
should have done and took care of those
who were dependent upon him. The
Old Roman realizes that others in other
walks Of life were given deferred clas-
sification on the grounds of dependents
who did not build ships. Jackson did
his bit.
So this is the reason why Charles
A, Comiskey, the noblest Roman u

Hickey said that if for any reason it
appeared advisable to hold meetings in

cision that Chicago, because of it's cen
trail location, is the practical place for
cur sessions. The club owners were
quite agreeable to the plan"

MEMORIAL DAY AND THE WORLD
WAR VETS.

All over the country, where Me-
mortal Day parades are held this
year, veterans of the World War
will march with the living survivors
of the War Between the States.
This is as it should be. The men
OF the Civil War fought for colossal
domestic cause that effectually
threatened to tear the heart-strings
out of the nation; as completely; in
fact, as the World War slashed at
the vitals of civilization.
The hand of the Almighty guided
the destiny of the nation in the six
ties-at this day North and South is
a unit in this belief.
The proof is that the same hand
of the Almighty used the nation that
survived the awful chaos of the six
ties to preserve the rights of man and
the foundations of civilization half a
century later.
1t was not written in the stars that
the Hohenzollern military ruleship
should enslave the world; and both
the men of the sixties, who moulded
the destiny of our nation and settled
controversy that sooner or later
would have disrupted it, and the men
of 1918, who rightly applied their
heritage of courage and power to en-
rich the world-both these were the
tools of that Almighty hand that
sauelched the He'll of Hohenzollern-
ism.
Had the men of the sixties not
fought, who will say that the men of
1918 could have guided the fate of
the world at St. Mihiel and the Ar
gonne?
