The Question of Volunteering The appended communication to the Palladium, signed J. G., presents conclusions that will not receive the approval of every patriot, neither do they agree entirely with the best thought of our leaders in Washington, for the present selective system was adopted because it was admitted that the volunteer system was archaic and inefficient in the present crisis. . J. G., who did not sign his full name, writes: "Wait till the West gets Into it," is an expression we often hear. It is used In connection with political electIons, reform movements and various other activities. The Implication Is that the West Is slow moving. When, however, the West does "get into it" things usually happen. Isn't it about time for the West to "get into" the War? No matter how well we have held up our end in some kinds of patriotic, duty there is one phase to which we westerners have not awakened. In the East it i3 considered, in many cases, a disgrace for a young man qualified for military service not to volunteer. At a banquet given by a small, exclusive club in Philadelphia one night last summer, the toastmaster requested everyone to stand up that had enlisted or would do so within ten days. Of the twenty young men present, seventeen arose. Of the three seated, two had tried to enlist but were physically deficient. The third said he was going to wait for the draft and maybe something would occur in the meantime that he would not have to go. Silence followed the remark until someone muttered "Slacker." Not being really a coward the young fellow grinned and stood up with the rest. Public opinion had been too much for him. Here in Richmond a few weeks ago when a squad of draftees were leaving, a young man was heard to remark "Poor boobs! Going over to be shot at by the Dutch. I'm glad I'm not one of them yet." Not only is this the attitude of some of our western boys but western parents more than eastern are doing everything they can to keep their sons out of the army. In many cases, slackers views are meeting with open sympathy in the West. There Is no strong definite public opinion against them. The other day at the "Y" a young fellow said, "Believe me I'm not going to be fool enough to run out to meet this thing by enlisting but I'm not going to dodge 'the draft when it comes!" This is the typical western attitude Just now. They are not going to do anything voluntarily to whip the Hun. -They are going to wait till someone forces them into action then they will put up as good a scrap as anyone. They don't want to give up the comforts of peace until they are forced to do so.

This is entirely the wrong attitude. If we whip Ger

many, it will be because every individual will drop his petty, personal interests and willingly throw his whole energy into the cause. This will mean sacrifice, great sacrifice. Especially will it mean the breaking up of tomes. If, however, this war is a righteous one with the true civilization of man as its goal why should we not give our lives and the lives of our children for this ideal? How paltry are our personal interests or even our lives when such a cause is at stake! . It is time for the West to awaken and urge its young men to voluntarily offer their services. Let public opinion be so ftrong that any man qualified for military service will not dare to do anything but volunteer. If we westerners get this spirit aroused within us as it Is being aroused in the East, victory is assured. J. G.

The question of volunteering or of waiting until the government calls you, involves the prin

ciple of motive. A man who waits until he is selected by the government because he conscientiously believes this is his duty, is just as much a patriot as the man who volunteers his service. Both he and the volunteer arectuated by patriotic impulses, and it is manifestly unfair and unjust to call him a slacker. Again, a man of draft age may volunteer because he is seeking a place that will keep him far from shot and shell. His motive is not patriotic but exceedingly selfish. The selected man has no choice of service. He goes wherever his country wants him to go. Between these two, the selected man is the best patriot. Of course, this does not say that every volunteer is a bullet dodger, for in the majority of cases he wants to serve. The illustration, however, shows how unfair it is to generalize by insinuating as J. G. does that the man who waits for his call is a slacker. We believe that infinite damage will be done by the dissemination of views such as J. G. holds. Our government has put the stamp of patriotic approval upon the selective service system. It has elected this system of raising its soldiers. There is enough glory in this war to go around for both volunteers and selects, and an effort to create unrest and dissatisfaction by differentiating between them is charged with untold possibilities for damage to the American morale. J. G.'s implication that the East is far ahead of the West in the way of volunteer enlistments is far from being true. The West has led

the country in the number of volunteer enlistments, and Indiana especially has time and again stood far ahead of eastern states in the number of men she has sent to the army and navy in a month's time. The West isn't asleep in this particular. When he asserts that it is typical of the West to evade danger and sacrifice, he is speaking from superficial observation. The West may not indulge in long parades and noisy press agent stuff, but it furnishes men and money for Uncle Sam in a quiet and determined manner. ; If J. G. wants to know how the western boys have enlisted, let him turn to the files of the newspapers of a year ago to see how the East was iagging behind and how New York newspapers were praising the West for the spirit that was sending our boys by the thousands into the army and navy. The East at the outset of the war had the notion that the West was lagging. Then its publicists, statesmen and financiers came West to point out the error of Our ways. Instead of finding us in need of an injection of patriotism, they returned home with the conviction that the West was doing more than the East, and that attention to its own front yard was needed before it tried to tell the West how to clean its backyard. This is merely a matter of history which J. G. has overlooked. There is no sectional difference in patriotism. J. G.'s vision is too circumscribed. From Maine to Washington, and from Florida to California, every state and community is bringing its patriotic service. We have not heard that officials in Washington have criticised any section of the country or expressed the belief that the "West needs the spirit which is being aroused in the East." It is our belief that the East and West are one in patriotism, one in a desire to whip the Kaiser, one in offering men and money to do the job. J. G. is passing an undeserved criticism on the mothers of Richmond and of the West when he asserts that "western parents more than eastern are doing everything they can to keep their sons out of the army." Those of us who know the mothers of Wayne county and the West can give an absolute denial to his charge. We might expatiate at length on the patriotism of our mothers, but what's the use J. G. doesn't know what he is talking about. We also doubt very much whether a Richmond boy said: "Poor boobs! Going over to be shot at by the Dutch. I'm glad I'm not one of them yet." If J. G. actually heard that remark, he should have reported the name of the person who made it to the Wayne County Council of Defense. If hs is the patriot that inferentially he wants us to believe he is, he ought not to let the matter rest where it is, but prove his own patriotic courage by insisting on action. His whole communication impresses us as one that does not serve the highest interests of patriotism. We believe that as a whole both our volunteers and selects are real, true patriots.

Wayne County's Prosperity Evidence on every hand testifies to the prosperity of Wayne county. Workers, farmers and business men are busy. Prosperity is reflected in many ways. Bank deposits show an increase despite Liberty Loan drives and heavy contributions for war purposes. Figures from the office of the county auditor show that the assessed valuation of property in Wayne county has increased $2,068,400 in 1918 over last year. Every township in the county shows an increase over the preceding year, the increase in Richmond alone being $292,270 over last year. It is gratifying to note that this prosperity is not restricted to one city and town, but holds true all over the county, indicating that as a whole the community is forging to the front. Some times a pessimistic feeling creeps into the minds of citizens, making them erroneously believe that they are worse off than the facts warrant. This feeling manifests itself in a disposition to draw a tight string around the pocketbook, thereby working michief on all classes. A survey of the county made a few weeks ago prQves that the country districts and small towns are sharing the prosperity of the county seat, and that all of Wayne county, its agriculcultural, industrial, and business circles have no reason to complain, the result being that all of us are getting our share in wages or profits from the condition that exists. This showing is remarkable in view of the fact that hundreds of young men, engaged in productive activities, have entered the military service. Their loss has been felt, but seemingly has been adequately met. Statistics that have been published in the last few days prove that so far the war has not brought a blight on Wayne county.

In regard to the button question, one reader writes In as follows: "Dear Sir Every time I give something, somebody pins a button on me to prove thac 1 am a patriot. When I go home, with my lapels covered with buttons, the children steal them. What shall I do about it? I could put them In my pocket at night, but I have only a limited number of pockets and the button supply seems to be inexhaustible. Then I have repeatedly tried to pass buttons on the street car conductors by mistake. The only so

lution I can see Is to keep on subscribing to everything in sight as every good American should do, and keep up a steady supply of buttons for the children to purloin at night when I get home. Have you any suggestions?. G. H. T." SAVE YOUR OLD PANCAKES. THEY WILL, BE SCARCE NEXT YEAR. More than ever do we believe that Germany was the place that the germs came from. A friend writes us from San Frftncisco that he has been down to Seal Rock and has seen the seal and all the seal's kla.

t It cost the kaiser a lot more to discover America than it cost Columbus.
