To the editor of The Journal I see in the Journal of December 13, where Honorable George E. Chamberlain, senator of Oregon, has introduced, or is gong to in troduce a bill of conscription, forcing into service ' males from the npe of 12 years to 23 years. I don't suppose the honorable 3enafor from Oregon haa any boys of his own eligible for ser vice, to practice the "gentle" art of. dodging bullets at $15 a mouth; however, if he has, for tune has smiled upon him saitk iently to enable him to dig up the required sum of money which would keep his boy out of the trenches. Let us pause ami consider the cause f the poor working man's son. They would all have to go, beinjr unable to furnish the amount required to escape the disagreeable task of sending some other poor work ing man's son into eternity, or else facing the iron storm of cannon and machine gun fire and dying upon the sodden slopes of some foreign battle field. If there isn't any danger of war, as the press favorable to the administration has constant ly assured the people of, then why arm the young men of the nation with the weapons of mur der and teach them the art of prowling around alonf ditches and fence eorneri with a view of killing in cold blood 'some un suspecting young fellow who hasn't ever done him any harm in all the world? The steel trust heads and also the manufactur ers of all this paraphernalia of death should be herded at once for the trenches in Europe. Let them learn the real conditions of war. Tush them forward to the flaming cannon's mouth, (so that if they ever live to come back to the land of the free they will pause ere they lend themselves to the idea of arming our boys for the slaughter, so that our poor mothers must be brought to grief. Let the gunmakera, the powdermakers and the preachers who preach war be hurried into the war's reality. The son of the aristocrat should din trench es alongside the son of the soil. Money should never be able to let him escape the conditions the money of his class is able to bring about in all countries. Be neath all wars is the greed for, gain. In all wars the poor man is the losr every time, and yet through all wars of all time he has made the costliest sacrifice for his country. C. L Cooper.
