To tho Editor of The Sun:
WINTER QUARTERS, UUih, Nov. . Thorc appeared
n thL NcvAilocate of November 1, 1917, an article brand
jiiK n man drafted into the United States army as ontiruly
Inckfinf in patriotism and as having "a streak of yellow as
wide as a barndoor."
This about a man in the army, a man not sneaking off to
the hills or escaping tu Mexico, but n man who believed he
had cause for exemption and was asking for it. If those aro
tho methods of his "friends" in Price what can vou expect
fiom his enemies? Was it at any time thu intention of the
draft boards, local or otherwise, that It was dishonorable for
a man to ask for and teceive exemption? Is a man to bo
branded as n coward as lacking in patriotism because he
pel haps wishes to protect those he will be compelled to leave
behind, perhaps dependent on strangers, or is it the intention
of the United States government to make unnecessary Buf
fering. When n man tries for exemption and is refused nnd
accepts his service, perhaps with a sinking heart and a state
of mind almost bordering on despair, is he to be branded as
having "a streak of yellow as wide as a barndoor?"
Is it the intention of the president to see his boys about
to wear his uniform and please God, see the standard we all
love reared to victory on German soil branded as cowards and
Iofisessors of yellow streaks because they ask and perhaps
ask again for exemption which he and his provost marshal
general so clearly define and issue cards for? Is it the in
tention to allow petty spites and personal hatreds to be used
in recruiting that vast army we are about to send to France?
No, Mr. Editor, it is only in minds low in ideals, warped
as to intellect and wasted by disease that such a dastardly,
cruel article could be conceived. Only in minds inflamed with
hate, seeking vengeance and crazed witlt thu idea of currying
popular favor that such an article could be born. An article
against a man about to wear the proud uniform of Uncle
Sam ; a man made the jibe of his mates; a man to whom camp
life will be made a hell, because Home cur chose to slur him ;
some cur chose to give him the Judas kiss to wish him
Godspeed with a venomous sting. This in a paper asking to
bu sent to the cantonments that he might be met with jeetv.
A young man, u lifeloving man, a fellow loving man, a music
and laughloviug man to be condemned to death, a living death
worse than thu felon's coll; a man condemned without trial,
not by a jury of his peers, but by a cur with a sneaking scur
rilous pun, a diseased mind and the refinement of cruelty.
Where is the rrime that deserves an article such as the one
to which I tefer? Is it a crime to ask and ask again for ex
emption? Is it a crime when that exemption is tefuscd for
leasons known to the exemption board, to have your private
heartbreaks, to accept your service with misgivings perhaps,
but still accepting it, and leaving with the contingent to which
you are assigned? If this constitutes a crime, branding as a
traitor, and as having a yellow streak, then there are many
criminals.
Is it patriotism to make hauler the way for those left bo
hind? Aie the partings, thu lonely times not enough, but
that there be added to them thu stigma of cowardice, yellow
ness, lack of patriotism. Is this the time of thu Spanish In
quisition, or is Price another Salem? The refinement of
cruelty was not exceeded neither in Salem nor in Rome at the
time of Neto. Do you think our great and noble piesident,
who is asking thesu sucritices, wishes those left behind to be
persecuted and mnde the object of jibes because those tljcy
love asked for exemption?
What about the man who wrota the article or tho man
who inspired it? What heartbtcaks have they had? What
war sacrifices have they made? Have they enlisted or at
tempted to enlist? How many liberty bonds have they
boughti' Aie they free from the sin of unpatriotism? If they
are not free of all thesu then let them put their own houses
in order befoie they brand another man as a coward and
traitor. How can a cur strike at a man under military or
ders? At a man who cannot strike back 7
HE IS IN THE ARMY. HE WAS IN THE ARMY WHEN
THE ARTICLE WAS PUIJLISHED. HE OBEYED OR
DERS. Can the cur who published tho article obey orders?
Can or is he man enough to make retraction to make tho
way easier for those who lovu the man he slandered? Are
the officials of Prico or Carbon county big enough to make
him do that which justice demands?
"Your dear lad, and my dear lad are on their way to
France." This strikes you and me, Mi'. Citizen. It is a war
for fathers and mothers, for sons and daughters. If it wuh
your son, Mr. Father, what would happen to the man who ac
cused him of being n traitor, branded him as yellow? Open
up tho recesses of your hearts some of you father of Price
and think of the claims, for exemption you made for your sons.
Dry your tenrs, you mothers of Price, you dear lonely mo
thers, who have sons in the training camps. You would be
the militant mothers of Price were it your son who was con
demned without trial. ....
And you, Carbon county officials, place the gag of de
cency on the man's mouth who so crucifies u man in the ber
1 vice of Uncle Sam. Do not add your mite to the fire of con-
demnation In the Salemlike witch burning, you citizens of
Price. Oh, the refinement of cruelty that could hand n lone
ly, weeping woman a copy of the News-Advocate as the train
was taking away the one she .loved the best, nnd that paper
branding that one as a traitor. And that one In tho service
of Uncle Sam. Don't you see why any decent minded citizen,
not of his "friends" of Price, but almost a total stranger,
would condemn that article, and condemn it without discus
sion of Its merits. C. E. McDERMID, M. D.
