THE CRUCIAL TEST.
As never before in its history del
undergoing the teal of fire these days
the lint of rlaims for exemption are be-
ming known, the people are witiioauhig the
revelation of thoee who thru motives oi row
.,,.,. . greed or maudlin sentiment the en
coring tn .-rape the highest duty 11
tisenship. Sol sJl of those who seek et
.motions arc actuated by these
, stives, of course, bui thai there are some
i dent to even 1 1 1 uninformed.
s the authorities have indicated the
.,,,. of exemption for those pnmouueed
uhysicalr? fit is dependency. Aewrdinn to
these authorities the measure of dependen
daney is thai h the withdrawal of the earn
Dfiofthe man seeking exemption tbosede-
pandenl upon him would beeom public
.hm AmpUfing tins the authorities
indicate thai if the parents o1 the wife, or of
t husband ere eble to support her, and the
children, if there be such, then no dspen-
....,.. mm .o :ou I the .-laiin is a spurious one.
That is the legal phase of the question and it
-Mould rover most of the eases.
There are, however, moral and ethieial
-rounds, higher than legal status which
..Ii..ull promo the loyal young man of ilr.it't
. iii.-iK eonilih with the law ratlin
than to eseapi service in tin- greal war toi
..vermin nt. !! has eigoyea in tins
il privileges and opportunities given In
greater degree than anywhere under the
sun. These privileges while evert American
in lu. - thnii inherent were won nnlj at the
t of thousand of lives at untold sacrifices
th. hrros if '7. They were preserved
.ui.l thru mmim bmadened hi -till greater
nrhina ufferiug from ' (1 to '
The heritage w.m and preserved bj the
generations r the past were nol enjoyed by
thamasthei have been bj tins. Then if the
n of fight inn age of todat are unwilling to
movie as their forefathers did democracy
failure and Americans todaj are nol
worthy of the blessings that have enjoyed.
W hat Im. I- there who has not, in his
tudi of tin revolution loathed the Tory as
, disloyal citixent Was not th. lesson plain
that the Tory was " traitar to the cause uf,
freedom and therefore the just target for
the scorn of his fellow men I Who has not
been tirr.d b feelings of repugauee at the
( 'i.pperhi ad- iif the Uehellioii .' Kveii the
iiesluig balm id time has not removed entire
i the odium that uttached to Ktich citizens.
The mi -nioi-x of a ra.e i a loiiy; one.
i. ..pie do not forget disloyalty. u the
lillg akin t.. hate and loathing foil.. wed
tin Tory and the Copperhead, ho to., will it
follow the slacker of this dai who by falsely
plaiuiing exemption make- another man
serve where he -lioiild serve in this war "to
nake the world .-aiv for democracy." Such
U heritage HO manly man want- to leave to
children and no woinaiih woman wants
to be the forebearer of i race of cowards.
I'lie law of heredity leaves it- mark, even till
(I the third and fourth generationx. If he
.in braen himself to stand the seourful
,i,e - of his eoiiteinporari. - the slacker
iild think twin before dunning bis chil
dren for generations unborn,
course he raighl have liked to flatter hint
self tO helieve that the ease in times of
peace. Bui these are not times of peace.
The whole nation is now watching those
who are trying to escape service. Whih
public may have a feeling of leniency for
those financially poor who try to escape ear
vice by shooting off a trigger finger or tak
ing dope, it has only disgust with those sno
ot' the wealthy who would evade the law In
hiding behind4 a woman's akirt
It' those who have thru-their money en
ioved i -e of the advantage of life, had
most of its pleasures and ns ..union seek
to escape the universal service, eau yon
blame the Socialist or even the I. W.
Dangerous as is the lvd Socialist and the
I. Y. W. then arc not the menace that is tin
rich young slacker. He by his actions turn
ifthes the grounds on which the I. W. W.
justifies hi- fiht against organised govern
incut. If by any means the son of the rich
gains an unjust exemption those who aid
him are sowing to the wind and will harve-t
the whirlwind.
There should be no class consciously
in this .ieiiio.rae and it will lie a BOH) dill
for freedom when such a condition i-
brought about. If bj the use of their wealth
the rich esrape service, the r arehouml
time to raise to destroy the means which
made injustice possible.
Tin rich can do nothing to increase the
number of Red Socialists and I. W. W. in
America todai than lv endeavoring to es-
eape the duty they owe not only to them
selves, to their state and their nation hut t
the world.
K.xcept in the Gould ease the nation at
large has not had its attention called to cases
of this kind. The puhlieitv which has been
giVdl the lists has had its effects. And to,
let it be said in justice to the sons of many
of the richest families in America, they vol
unteered for serviec at the first call is the
arms.
Not only that but iiianx of them with
the chivalry of their foreberers entered the
armies of France. Rllglaild and Belgium to
avenge the atrocities committee bj the Pros-
sian hoi-ds. The deed- of Lieutenant Thaw
of Pittsburg will go far to char that name
from the odium east of 1 1 airy . All the SOUS
.f Rooseve)1 rushed to the colors and two are
in Prance. These are but two examples.
They could be multiplied In the thousands
A- in England, -.. hen in the United states
and Canada the men of the leading families
have justified their positions in life by be
inn willing to sacrifice everything for the
cause of hiiinaiiitv . We believe that men
like yotuuj Gould will he conspicuous by
their scarcity, And it is to lie hoped that
the publicity given their cases will cause
them, like him. to withdraw their elauns and
he enrolled among those men of honor now
in Prance or traninir for service there in tic
near future,
