DRAFT RESISTERS It is unfortunate that just when we should have a perfect unanimity of sentiment in this country on the question of prosecuting the war, cer- tain misguided persons should persist in treasonable resistance to the se- lective draft. Even some preachers, who of all others should both prac- tice and teach unswerving loyalty to the country, have advised their hear- ers to resist the law. . It is hard to believe these people are deliberately disloyal. We would much prefer to believe that they sin through ignorance. One must be low indeed in the scale of creation when he can deliberately betray his country and his people. Even that beatific designation of our country as “theland of the free” has grown to-mean, in many ignorant minds, something entirely different from its meaning to the person who sees life as it is. The man of normal intelligence sees freedom as purely relative. He knows there can be no absolute freedom. As long as there remain two human beings on this earth, neither can possibly be entirely free. The welfare of either must of necessity circumbscribe the freedom of the other. It is just this fundamental fact, however, that many ignorant minds fail to grasp. To them freedom has no other meaning save license. Once assured that they are free memn, any force that interferes with their con- ception of freedom is to them tyranny and not to be tolerated. It is high time we revised the popular conception of freedom. It is time the basic truth were stressed that there can be no freedom without absiolute obedience to law. Disregard of law tends toward anarchy, and anarchy is the very antithesis of freedom, Again, many minds fajl to appreciate the fact that without the law and its fostering care there’ could be no such thing as freedom, even safety. And without stable government there can be no effective law. Law, re- duced to its essence, is but the crystalized will of those affected. Laws for the protection of life and property depend entirely on the will of the various individuals. It is simply the public will reduced to a code. These same malcontents are standing monuments of the efficacy of laws and governments. Without the fostering care of civilized govern- GRAHAM M. TORRANCE LAWYER Phone 660 Miles Block DR. E. H.

We as a people have gone too far afield after freedom. We have made|’ of it a fetich. We have distorted and stretched its meaning until the na- tional conception of freedom bears very little resemblance to the genuine article. We must get back to the old paths. We must stamp indelibly on the public mind the eternal fact that perfect freedom can come in no other way than through perfect obedience to law. It may take a few firing squads to make this impress, and if so, the sooner they are called out the better. 1017 Minn.

EXEMPTIONS DR. C. R. SANBORN PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON Oftice—Miles Block The enormous number of claims for exemption from army service con- stitute a shame to American manhood and a disgrace to our country. It 1s proof positive as holy writ or one or two propositions: Either our young men are entirely lx\cklng in patriotism or they are pitiful cowards. We refer with contempt to the slacker who eluded the registration. But what pl’ the infinitely more contemptible slacker who, while seemingly | acquiescing in the draft, put up a pitiful plea for exemption—plea that| J.

Such as they both have made this the proud country it is today. Of course there are some perfectly legitimate claims for exemption. These will and should be granted. But the ‘“‘exemption’” slacker—ugh! Words are powerless to describe him. DR. H. A, NORTHROP OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON Smite 10, O’Leary-Bowser Bldg.
