THE COQUILLE HERALD P U B L IS H E D EVERY The Herald’s Special Coos County News Service TU ESD A Y Entered as second-class matter May 8, 1905, at the post office at Coquille, Oregon, under act of Congrees of March 3, 1879. p . C. L E V A R . LESSEE A N D E D IT O R R O Y M. A V E R Y , BUSINESS M A N A G E R Devoted to the material and social upbuilding of the Coquille Valley particularly and of Coos County generally. Subscription, $1.50 per year, in advance. Phone Main 381 It seems that by a change made in the army and na vy bill after the House had first acted upon it, the presi dent is empowered to draft men into the army whenever he thinks it necessary. Few representatives knew when they finally acted on the bill that it contained this provis ion. Probably they would have passed it anyway. But there is another slant to this conscription business. You, gentle reader, have always perhaps taken it for granted that in time of need the country was entitled to your ser vices, whether you were willing to give them or not. If you were not patriotic enough to lay down your life, or to sacrifice your health, your job, your career, your brightest prospects, for your country, then your country had a right to force you to do so. Very well, we won’t dispute it. But did you ever hear a rational and patriotic fellow citi zen suggest that when your country needs money to carry on a war or to repel invasion you are under obligations to make contributions to the exchequer? Did it ever occur to you that any one should be expected, under any cir cumstances, to GIVE a dollar to the government, no mat ter how great its need? He would be mad indeed who would suggest that it would be all right for the govern ment to call for contributions of so many dollars from the citizens of Oregon, and if the Ready John Rogers were not kicked in with voluntarily, the president should be empowered to come and take it away from us. We are all endowed by the Creator with an inalieanable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and some other things, according to the immortal document, but these in alienable rights are sometimes alienable at the will of some one or other. But the rights of property are always sacred. Did you ever think of that? We read in The Public that when Judge Seabury was presiding over the famous Becker trial in New York he fined the Globe and its editors $250 each for publishing in advance the opening address of the district attorney. At 5 p. m. one day the people read in the Globe that “Becker looked greatly worried and frequently turned to whisper to his wife while Whitman denounced him etc. in his open ing address to the jury,” when, as a matter of fact, the ad dress was not delivered till the next morning. And the judge went and fined those fellows $250 apiece for a little thing like that! It is plain that they were on the side of the prosecution and against the accused; that they put out this stuff to help the side that was afterward proved to be right by the verdict of the jury. Becker was a murderer and not entitled to any fair account of his trial. He was electrocuted and went to— that is, he was electrocuted long ago. No wonder that the Globe has a grouch against Seabury and is opposing him in his race for the governor ship of New York. We do these things differently in the West.
