CONSCRIPTION
ladependenc. Or., Dc. 2S.
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.
