No one who has followed the editorial policy of The Star since the war began can doubt this statement Every able-bodied man, of the required age, with no wife, child, mother, aged father, or small brother or sister dependent upon him, MUS1 SERVE WHEN DRAFTED. ‘There should be no exemption for that man, But when a man ha not be required to serve. If a wife has an income of her own, she is not a dependent. If she is incapable of earning a comfortable living for herself, she is a dependent. And it is not right to require a wife, in such a case, to live on a pitiful $30 a month which she might possibly be able to earn if thrown into the industrial field. That would mean that you would require the wife of the man who is fighting for YOU to barely exist, while you and your wife retain your usual income and comforts of life That would mean that you are asking the man to sacrifice his life and the woman her liveli- hood; that you are asking two sacrifices in that family, while requiring no sacrifices in many other families. When a man is taken into the draft army, the exemption boards should be satisfied that his de- pendents have a DECENT livelihood — provided them, just as the dependents of those who are NOT taken have. a dependent, he should Human Treatment Due Men Called for Draft Ex ination It is not a DECENT livelihood for a woman if she is required to “sponge” on unwilling parents-in-law, even if the latter are capable of providing for her. In such a case, it Is virtually making her dependent upon charity. It leaves her dependent instead of independent. ’ Don’t make charity wards of the wives of the men who are to fight for us! These are the wives who should be the most honored among us. Let us not say to them, then: “Because we take your husband to the war front to do our battling, you are condemned to eke out any kind of exist ence, so long as you don’t actually starve. A mini- mum means of living is good enough for you.” The wife who is left behind must be left be- hind with nearly, if not quite, as satisfactory a means of livelihood as the wife of the man who does not go to the front. Humanity must rule the exemption boards. The men called up for examination must be treated with every courtesy. They must not be kept waiting unnecessarily. They must not be bullied. They come before their district boards as American citizens, prepared to lay down their lives, if neces- sary, for their country. They are entitled to every consideration. Seattle draft boards have, for the most part, done good work. They must keep it up and do even better. The doctrine of kindness, courtesy and humanity cannot be preached too often to men who have so delicate a task on their hands as the “A Little Land and Liberty” Co-operation and Efficiency A little home in the country with sufficient land for the family garden, a cow and some chickens—and perhaps a pony for the children!
