A Waste of Postage
It is only n waste of postage,
letter paper and time for a man
whose claim for exemption
from the draft on industrial
grounds hns been denied by his
district exemption board, or
for any of his relatives or
friends to write to his Senator,
or his Congressman, or the Pro
vost Marshal General, or the
I'rosidont of the United States,
trying to have the ruling of the
board reversed. Strange as it
may seem, a great many such
letters have been written. They
have poured in by hundreds and
thousands to officials at Wash
ington. Some of them have
come from Oregon. These let
tors will do no good whatsoever.
They will not even be consider
ed, but will be returned to the
sender. If a man having real
grounds for appeal wishes to
prejudice his case beforehand,
the surest way for him to do is
to write to his Senator, or Re
presentative, or to sec some
ofllcial in Washington to use his
"influence" toward fixing up
the exemption. There is just
one procedure whereby an up
poal may be taken to the Presi
dent from the ruling of a dis
trict hoard. That is through
the district board itself, in the
manner prescribed by official
regulations. It must be re
membered, however, that only
one class of cases can be appeal
ed to the President from the
district board. These are cases
over which tho district board
lias original jurisdiction; that
is to say, cases thut originate
before the district board, and
not with one of the local county
oxomntioii boards. The only
chkoh over which district boards
have original jurisdiction are
those involving claims for ex-
onuit on on the irrounds of em
nlovmont in a necessary Indus
try, including agriculture. No
claim for exemption on Ithe
ground of dependency can no
annealed to the President under
any circumstances. The deci-
Kion of the district Hoard in
witch cases, on which it sits as
un niiDollale board, is Until.
' lini'i iu nn rnHlinr minimi. I ho
to ow nir summary of reirula
lions made by the President to
iroverii nroeeduro in all cases
appealed to him, has been issu
ed by the Provost Marshal Gen
eral at Washington, with the
ruquoHt that it be given the fill
lout nublicity.
"1. Hy tho regulations of
the President governing appeals
from the action of district
hoardn. the claim of appeal
imiMt bo filed with the district
board and cannot be received if
aunt direct to the President, the
Provost Marshal General, mem
Iters of Congress, or to any
other place than to tiie district
board tUolf.
"2. Papers, evidence, and
tiilidavitH not considered by the
district board cannot be consid
urod on appeal front the district
Itonnl,
"SI. The only casos in which
thttro is an appeal to the Prcsi
dent are casus in which a claim
for discharge on the ground of
oiiutiuement in agriculture or
industry has been made in the
district board. There is no ap
poal to the President front
the action of the local board
In dependency or other cases
whose determination is within
the jurisdiction of the local
Dowrd.
"I. All attempts to appeal
eases other than those tnvolv
ing the decision of the district
boNrd on agriculture or nidus
trial exemptions from whatever
son ice received; all allidavits,
loiters, arguments, evidence,
miners or oilier matter not con
sidored by lite district board;
all minimis made to the l'resi
dent direct, or sent to any
other ollicial or porson in Wash-
intfton, will have to he roturned
to tlu sender."- Adjutant Gen-
tun!, Portland, Oregon.
Era of Rebuilding
"Aiier tno war win come
a long era of rebuilding and rc
adjustment. The nations that
are fighting today will bind up
their wounds unit will go forth
to further conquests not of
shrapnel and bayonets, but of
gold." This declaration is
titmie by S. W. Straus, Presi
dent of the American Society
tor Thrill in the current issue
of the Thrift Magazine. It will
be a fight for business tho world
around and each nation will suc
ceed in exact proportion to tho
individual eihcioncy . of its
eitiscens. Thoreforo, it stands
us well in hand today to look
to our luturo to see it we are
adequately equipped for this
great era of business rivalry.
After the war, wo shall have
a great morchant marine and
WO shall be in a stronger tinnn
cjal position than any nation
now at war. In many regards,
wo shall have a tremendous
advantage over all rivals. But
when it comes to tho matter of
idual thrift, we shall be at
a disadvantage. Amorica's re
sort in all mattors portaining
to individual thritt has been
known throuphnut the world n.9
a nation of spendthrifts. In the
ercal commercial struggle ue
tu'nnn the nations of the onrt
that is to follow the dawn of
peace, the rigid practice of in
divlrltint thrift will lift noons
sary if we hope to hold our own
... il - 1.1 .-.!-! A I
in una worm wiue siruggiu
When we reach tho end of mili
tary warfare, we shall have
trninofl tho thrnnhnld nf in tor
nntional business conflict. The
survival of the fittest is a law
of nature that never will be
repealed. Peace protocols do
not eliminate business rivalry
among the nations of men."
To Try It's Strength 0
borne wise one lias said
"I count life just a stuff to try
the soul's strength on." That
is exactly what it Is. In order
to make the most and best of
them, all our faculties must be
exercised, and so strengthens
and developed as an the mus
cles of the body; for the facu
ties may well bn called the
muscles of the mind. If there
is something we very muc
want to do, something that
poricctiy right to do, nnd
from which wo scorn only held
back hy lack of means or op
portunity, there lies our chance
to exercise determination and
nercverancc always with fait
in that wondrous inner power
which never fails us when we
do trust it. A thing that
worth having is worth working
for; and when wo come into
nossession of it we shall find
dearer and sweeter for the
effort it cost us. That whic
drops into the hands like an
over-ripe plum is rarely appro
ctalcd. 1 he first thing to do
to determine the obstacle
trail nearest to us that whic
especially needs overcoming i
order lo make life brighter and
happier. There may be others
but it is wise to take one at
time: and when tho first is pro
perly disposed of, it will be
easier to manage the next. In
deed, as we go on, we are pret
ty sure lo find that our troubl
fade away of their own accori
this as we cultivate the fac
ulty of right thinking. Heart
and Home.
