General Sherman's Views in Regard 20 Maintain
ing the State Militia.


General Sherman has written lsttar 70 a
committee Of st, Louis militia officers, who bad
requested him to accept the brigadier- general
ship of the State militia, explaining that be
cannot do so because he is still in the service
OF the General Government, and adding:
Nevertheless, / want you TO feel that /.
who am now a resident and taxpayer Of the
State, appreciate the patriotism and the gress
honor due the men who under such adverse
circumstances have organized themselves into
companies and regiments TO give stability and
protection to the lives and property of tho
people. / want TO encourage you 70 patiencs
and perseverance all can, for / honestly BE-
ieve that the time Is near when our people,
who love peace and its enJoyments. viii real
ize that these are only possible by being pre-
pared for war; not war in the sense Of great
battles but war to protect life and property,
which is the chief object of all governments.
A court without sheriff would be q farce,
city without police would be pandemouftm,
so State without militia becomes subiecs
Of ridieule. By our laws, customs and usages
the sheriff and police are paid and maintained
by the communities they guard, but from old
pTejudIceS dating three hundred years back In
English history an army is regarded in this
country as unnecessary, or as dangerous TO the
Republic. Although the army and militia hsvs
saved this Government in three great cases,
this old prejudice has gone on and has cost the
Republic or the United States thousands OF
millions of dollars; but the people now realize
that prevention is cheaper than cure. The Cen
eral Government viii help the militia some
what, and the State must complete the system
whereby q suitable armed force shall be always
maintained for its own security. II Is simply
disgrace that the young men, generally poor
should be expected to form companies, rezi-
ments and brigades, furnish their own arrnorieA
uniforms, arms, equipments and ammunition,
4 ~
eipline to be used at the pleasure Of tia State
authorities. IA Pickwiek. provided they pay
their own expenses / say the time has passed
when this absurdity should longer exist, and
the State of Missouri, as well as the other
States OF this great Union, should malze suitable
provision for its militia, as Washington advised
ahundred years ago, and as common decsnCy and
Justice now demand The State Guard linn
tied to, say, one regiment of 500 msn 20 each
congressional district representing about 150-
600 of population, should be literally provided
for by State taxation
