Sherman vs. MacArthur
When most people think of General Sherman
they think of "war is hell"
Georgia" and let it go at that.
We happen to have a different idea for we were
brought up. on General Sherman so to speak, one of
our grandfathers having been an ardent hero-worshipper
of the famous Union General.
There was a large framed picture of the General
above the fireplace and "Grandpappy" liked to relate
the wonderful exploits and remarks of the "greatest
man in the country," although, it was his brother, not
he himself, who marched with the General through
Georgia.
AT the time of these conversations, believe it or not,
General Sherman was not only still living, but
recently had been advanced as a candidate for the
Presidency at least the Republicans had tried in
every way to get him for their candidate but the
staunch old Indian fighter had refused.
This was the first, and only mistake the General
ever made, in Grandfather's opinion, and it irked him
terribly, for next to horse-stealing the cardinal sin,
in his lexicon of morality, was to be a member of the
DEMOCRATIC party! .
And it came out during this public discussion of
Sherman for President that the hero of the Battle of
Atlanta had always been a staunch Democrat and a
great friend of President Buchanan up to the out
break of the Civil War!
Grandpappy never believed this, but a perusal of
a recent biography of General Sherman shows the
main facts to be true.
fJOWEVER, the point we wish to make at the
present time, refers to a certain incident related
in this biography, rather than to those conversations
of over 50 years ago. And this incident convinces this
department that Grandfather was dead right Gen
eral Sherman was not only a great General but a great
MAN, and it is to be hoped some of the American
generals in this war will show the good judgment,
good sense and strong character he did.
.,,
XE refer particularly to General MacArthur who
has been put forward for the Republican nomi
nation next year by the Chicago Tribune and is being
given a steady publicity build-up by Senator Vanden
berg of Michigan and other reliable wheel-horses of
the Old Guard Republican machine.
As has been previously stated in this column such
action we regard as a great disservice to General
MacArthur who is doing an excellent job in the
South Pacific, and where, until victory is won, he
should remain. Moreover, we can't believe the gen
eral himself, would consider accepting such a propo
sition or entering politics of any sort as long as the
war is on, just because a group of politicians wish to
capitalize politically on his popularity and military
prowess. ,
But the General's silence on the proposal, as the
campaign gains in force does cause, among: his real
friends we believe, a certain uneasiness and appre-
nension.
AT any rate this is what General William Tecumseh
Chamvion AiA mJ m'm.'l.. ,'.,.n,tnnna n.tr
a decade after the Civil War he was one of the most
popular men in the country,
headed by Jamea G. Blaine
Republican nominee,
Blaine sent him this message:
"You can no more refuse this nomination than you could
have refused to obey a military order when you were a lieu
tenant." Sherman came right back as follows:
"I shall resist such action to the utmost even If it gives
offense to the convention which construes Itself to express
the will of the people. I would account myself a fool, a
madman and an ass to take any other action."
Nevertheless when the Republican convention
met, the presidential material available to the party
proved to be so disappointing, the Republican dele
gates could not be restrained, and with the firm con
viction the General would not have the nerve to re
fuse such an honor if the nomination were really
offered him, the following message was sent:
"General Sherman, your name is the only one we can
agree upon; you will have to put aside your personal preju
1 dices and accept the presidency."
Whereupon, it is related the old campaigner, with
out even taking his cigar from his mouth, or changing
his calm but determined expression dictated the fol
lowing reply:
"I will not accept If nominated and will not serve If
elected!"
That was THAT!
Not because General Sherman lacked in anv wav
a sense of patriotism or public responsibility, but be
cause ne was convinced he
ment or training for such
reason it was offered him
party to casn in on a prestige and popularity that was
his, not theirs and that had been gained because of a
success NOT in public life but on the field of battle.
Therefore only disaster for the party and for himself
would result if he were weak enough and vain enough
to Believe the flattery offered and swallow the poliU
cal bait.

EXERCISE CURES HERNIA
Talking about the spontaneous
cure of hernia the other day, for
spontaneous cure occurs in a
good many
cases In Infan
cy and early
childhood pro
vided the her
nia Is properly
supported, and
occasionally in
youth or adult
life, we speci
fied the four
ways in which
hernia can be
cured, namely,
vt. diooj spontaneous
cure, cure by suitable support or
truss, cure by plastic or recon
structive surgery and cure by in
jection treatment.
Then, come to think of It, there
Is still another way to cure her
nia, namely, by systematic exer
cise, that is, by the regular,
methodical performance of exer
cises expressly designed to im
prove the general muscle tone
and particularly the tone of
muscles in the area where the
bulging occurs.
A correspondent told us here
recently of apparent cure of her
nia In several members of his
family by wearing truss for from
a few months to a year. Numer
ous readers wrote to inquire
what kind of truss. The corre
spondent did not mention any
particular kind of truss. That Is
not important. The important
thing Is that the truss be selected
by your, own physician and wom
as the physician directs and un
der the physician's regular in
spection. This is important
whether you take exercise treat
ment, surgical treatment, injec
tion treatment or no treatment
at all.
Everything said so far about
cure of hernia applies to reduc
ible hernia only. That is, the
bulging or protrusion must dis
appear entirely when the patient
lies on back with hips on higher
level than shoulders, knees
flexed, and. If necessary, the her
nia gently manipulated with fin
gers. In some instances hernia
is not so reducible, and, If it is
not, then there is practically no

URGES FEDERAL
AID TO STATES
FOR WAIN
Florida Educator Says
Grants Only Way to Avoid
Government Control.
By Barbara Landstreet
(United Press Correspondent)
Tallahassee. Fla. (U.FD Fed
eral control of education can be
avoided only by establishment
of a system of direct federal aids
with funds apportioned to states
objectively and administered
under their constitutions. Di
rector E. L. Morphet, of the
state department of education,
said.
The director pointed out that
federal support Is imperative
because small states, which
statistics show supply a substan
tial part of the citizenship
found In larger, wealthier states,
cannot nrovide adequate educa
tional opportunities for their
children.
"Therefore, ' he said, "the en
tire nation is handicapped by
the extent to which the poorer
state is unable to maintain satis
factory schools."
Morphet said that
people
have refused to establish the
direct system on assumption that
federal control might be avoided
by denying the issue completely.
However, he added, recent
trends and developments prove
the assumption to be "danger
ously" wrong.
'Comparatively, few people
realize that for the past several
years we have been moving
rapidly toward federal control
of schools because we do not
have a comprehensive system
of direct federal aid."
According to the director, the
federal government in the
future cannot ignore the educa
tional needs of the nation or re
frain from any effort to supply
funds to meet the situation.
'But as long as funds for
schools are made available indi
rectly through non-educational
agencies, such as FWA, NYA
and FWA, we must continue to
expect increasing federal con
trol of the school program."
He suggested that the correct
system of federal aid for schools
should meet the following re
quirements: 1 Funds should be appor
tioned to states on basis of an
objective formula written into
law and not subject to interpre
tation or modification by any
federal agency.
2 Funds should be made
available to states to be used In
Improving educational systems
in accordance with provisions of
law. 4
3 Each state should be held
fully responsible for proper ex
penditure of funds, with the
government having the right to
audit state accounts.
4 States should be .required
to meet certain objective ad
ministrative standards Incorpor
ated in the law.
"If all the millions of dollars
spent on educational functions
by non-educational agencies of
the federal government could
have been made available
through a satisfactory system
of federal aids, our states' sys
tems of education would today
have been far stronger; objec
tionable controls would have
been avoided; and the people
would be in far better position
to resist successfully furtner
tendencies toward undesirable
controls by federal agencies,"
Morphet said.
