UNIVERSAL
TjKCEN'T supreme court
Huh; that the individual has no ritrhts in conflict.
wilh the rights of the many,
i Jiese decisions the .A damson eitrtit-liour case, riving
t-i ingress the right to regulate hours and wages and to for
bid strikes upon railroads, and the Oregon laws, giving the
state the right of control over wages, hours and condi
tions of private employment
of public opinion. Government exists for Ihe benefit of
the troverned, and when a conflict of interest occurs the
rights of the few must be sacrificed for the welfare of the
iniinv.
The European war lias
wider view of the purpose of government. All belliger
ents have recognized that the rights of the state art
supreme, are without limit, and that the lives and prop
erties of all, rich and poor alike, are subject to sacrifice in
belialt ot tho government, winch, in the case ot denioc
racies, is the people themselves.
The old notion that a man
that were expressly reserved
vaded, even by the state, has gone glimmering, along with
the divine rights of men to rule others. The individual has
no rights except those granted by the state, and even those
are subject to repeal without notice. Not only his vested
property rights, but his life itself, is subject to the needs
of the state the democracy of which he is part.
Upon the recognition of this broad foundation of duty
due the many by the individual is built the patriotism of
today the desire of all classes to offer sacrifices for the
common good, without thought of individual gain. Such
sentiments and enthusiasm augur well for the future of
the nation and for the final solution of the real problem
confronting democracy equality of opportunity.
Among the duties owed the nation by the individual is
that of defending and upholding national honor. This may
be by personal service or by property "service, or both. But
the nation cannot, in justice to all, play favorites. The call
to duty must be universal, and to make it universal it must
be coinjmlsory.
It is as unfair to ask for volunteers to offer their lives
to defend their country as it
fice their fortunes. It is the
furnish either upon demand. A few should not be forced
to bear the burden of all. Conscription of men and con
scription of income is indeed
devised for national defense
make for true democracy.
Senator Chamberlain has
vide for universal military service. It is the second time
he has introduced the measure. Its first introduction
proved the senator in advance of his time, for it aroused
much opposition and little support. But it served its pur
pose in bringing the subject before the people for discus
sion, and careful consideration has won over a majority,
even ot those most bitterly
as militaristic in tendency.
Any war that lasts any length of t ime means conscrip
tion, and alwavs has meant it.
democracy seeks, yet may at any time be forced into, as
long as there is a mad nioimrch or a crazed bandit loose
and there usually is. With the threat of war always im
pending, with conscription always likely to be invoked,
it is then only a matter ot elliciency that the nation s de
fenders be trained in advance.
Senator Chamberlain's bill provides that every citi
zen between 18 and 2(1 shall undergo six mouths' military
or naval training. Those who fail to train. in the required
year must, train in the year or years following, besides
being penalized. Exemptions are permitted for persons
physically unfit, or for those on whose earnings others are
dependent. Religious sects objecting to war, criminals
and bad characters arc exempted. Credits for military
instruction are provided by reducing the months of ser
vice. Expenses of transportation and subsistence are
paid. A reserve army is created from those trained, in
which citizens are liable for service until they reach the
age of 28 years, in case of war.
The advantages of universal military training are ap
parent to the individual, not only physically, but mentally.
There is no need to enumerate them. It makes for human
efficiency, and its advantages to the state are beyond dis
pute. It will effectually democratize and humanize the
military service, thus destroying the caste spirit that
creates militarism. It is in no way incompatible jvith
democracy. Nor is the state exercising any new power
by such compulsion, for it is only by compulsion that gov
ernment exists a compulsion of the individual for the
benefit of the many.

The Earth is full of anger,
The seas are dark with wrath,
The nations in their harness
Go up against our pnth:
Ere yet we loose the legions
Ere yet we draw the blade,
Jehovah of the Thunders,
Lord God of Battles, aid!
E'en now their Ivnngiiard (gathers,
E'en now we face the fray
As Thou didst help our fathers,
ITelp Thou our host today!
Fullfilled of signs nnd wonders,
In life, in dealh made clear
Jehovali of the Thunders,
Lord God of Battle hear!
