STAR—FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1917. TODAY OUR SELECT YOUNG MEN ARE CALLED TO THE COLORS The Young Man Says: | AM a young man. And today is MY day—the day of the offering. To our mother, America, I come and say to her: “You need me. Here I am. I am yours. Do with me what you want.” How strange all the past seems now. So little . A 1 have I given to America before. Always have}, ‘Lasked her for something. I have been far more scrupulous about my rights than about my duties. _. This is my exalted moment, because, that which I do today, I do not for myself. I ask “nothing but the privilege of serving my country. | I rejoice thus to partake of the holy spirit in| which America has gone into this war, and I am! not afraid. : * * The Mother Says: ‘¥ AM the young man’s mother. _ And today is MY day—a day of conse- Hon. He is my treasure. I rejoice because to him there has come no thought of shirking. He is| Proving himself worthy of his mother, and by, courage I will keep myself worthy of such a son. I gave him life and thru him now I pour out} my soul to my country and my God, like the} mother of Samuel, who gave him to serve the Lord. : My love for him is no less because I give im freely to the service of our country. I give} n no less whole-heartedly even tho heavy-| heartedly. My love follows him to the place of regis- tration and consecrates his act. To a sacred cause I give the tribute of a sacred love. It is * ‘Mall, out of city. 35¢ per month u| to By carrier. city , is Is for You MR. BUSINESS MAN: It is up to YOU to realize tt YOU,.too, must play a part in this struggle of Seattle|*'" ing men. Street car employes who are striking, and their thou- ds of sympathizers, are YOUR clients, YOUR customers} —yes, and your employes. oy You; Mr. Business Man, cannot be any more prosperous, ‘Any more contented, any more happy, than are your clients, ur customers, your employes. SEATTLE AS A WHOLE NN BE NO BETTER THAN ITS PEOPLE. Men must have decent pay, decent hours, self-respect as they work, or the community suffers, YOU suffer. Throw off your conservatism! Step out! Give a hand © settle this struggle right! Seattle must be a city of free men, well paid, heads of! contented homes; that is vital. We are battling with a na ‘tion's strength that such may come abroad. Do not be Patriot in France and a tyrant in your home town. Don't quibble over technicalities and lose sight of the| fundamentals in the issue. Get away from a knot-hole view- point. Men do not quit their jobs to face uncertainty and ‘strife and worse unless driven to it by irresistible circum- “Stances. Get their outlook for once. : This, Mr. Business Man, is no time for self-satisfied! aloofness from public affairs, for smug neutrality, for sordid! ‘selfishness. The whole world is changing, like a chemist's ‘mixture, under your eyes. A different day for the down-| ‘trodden, abroad and at home, is dawning like one of these| ass Sound mornings.

The Father Says: ] \M the young man’s father. And today‘is MY day—a day of restitution. America did well for me. All I am and all I have I owe to her. She gave me shelter. She gave me oppor- tunity. She gave me education. She gave me liberty. And until now she has asked me for little in return. But now she calls on me to lend her my son that the liberty that I have enjoyed may not perish; that her ideals may continue to be a light unto the world, as they have been to me. So now I will repay. I give what I hold most dear. I do not rebel. Because my love for |my son is great, the more worthy is the giving. I shall be grateful if America finds my gift worth taking. * The Nation Says: A D as the young man speaks and as the mother speaks and as the father speaks, so say we all. As free men we come now to serve; each to his task. We realize today a democracy of equal duty that takes its place beside our democracy of equal rights. It knows not the rich man’s son nor the poor man’s son. It knows only justice. so» 8 * Long after the cause for which we fight has) triumphed; long after we who write these lines and you who read them are gone, the principle of that which we do now will flourish to glorify peace. For this democracy of service that we establish will goon in Some other form because we will learn it.is good for us to labor together and think together for the common good. “This Is | Fors.
