Of the Characterization applied to Il by Gen
eral Sherman. They know that war means
hloodshed. but they also know, If they are
disinterested and are capable Of giving the
matter calm and serious thought. that war
does not mean what General Young says It
means.
Young's remark was undoubtedly intended
as a defense of General Smith and the kill
and burn" policy adhered to during the
Philippine campaign. The Post thinks that
instead Of defending this man and this policy
the future head of the army should have
apologized for them and asked the good
Lord to forgive them. War is undoubtedly
cruel. but in warfare participated in by a
civilized nation there is no warrant for the
killing Of "all over TO-" for the infection Of
the terrible water cure" or for the torture
of prisoners through methods cruel and bar
barous in the extreme Even General Young
will not deny that such outrages have been
perpetrated by United States troops in the
Philippines. His defense Of such things
means that he is unit not only to be the
head of the United States army, but to hold
any position OF Importance in It. 1t stamps
him as a degenerate-a man who should
have lived in the dark ages, when human life
was held to be Of no account and when
might always triumphed over right There
can be no possible justification of his ut
terances. no matter the standpoint from
which they are viewed
The sooner the country gets rid of red
handed poseurs Of the Young stripe the bet
ter it will be for all concerned. This is an
age OF civilization. There is no place for
hnrhariars

It is a real and great pleasure to come TO TINS

his State, but from the entire country-GeneraI
Luke Z. Wright. We have right 10 expect "a
high standard of manhood from tennessee. II
was one Of the first two States created west OF
the Allegheny mountains and II was m this
state that the first sef-govcming community OF
American irccmcn was established upon waters
flowing into the gulf. The pioneers OF Tennessee
were among the earliest IN that great westward
march which thrust the nations border across
the continent 20 the Pacific, aud it IS eminently
fitting that son Of Tennessee should now play
so prominent part in the further movement OF
expansion beyond the Pacific There have been

those years Ienncssecans sat in the White House

State which nurtured Andrew Jackson and Sam
Houston which sent into the American navy one
OF the most famous fighting admirals Of all time
Farragut.
There is another reason why our country should
he glad that it was General Wright who rendered
this service General Wright fought with dis
tuguished gallantry among the gallant men who
served IN the armies OF the Contederacv during
the civil war. We need no proof of the com
pleteness OF OUR reunion people. When the
war with Spain came the sons OF the men who
wore the blue and the sons of the men who
wore the gray We'd with another in the effort
10 get into the ranks and face foreign foe under
the old flag that had been carried in triumph
under Winfield Scott and Zachary Taylor and
Andrew Jackson. 1t was my own good fortune to
serve under that fearless fighter old Joe Wheeler

A SERMON TO SUIT.

Many Maine people who live in a GER
tain part OF Cumberland county will
Well remember one "Abner"--so he was
always called in his town. Abner was
the wit OF the village, although rather
looked down on by the average citizen
because of his inability to hold on TO
the goods Of this world.
Abner was commonly selected TO take
charge OF funerals because he was
about the only man IN town who had
time hanging on his hands a citizen
died. a man who never amounted to
much, who was never positively wicked
because that would hare required more
Of an effort than he was willing to
make. He was, however, far enough
from being a good citizen. and Abner
knew II as well as ANYBODY else.
Abner was requested 10 ask a GER
tain minister 10 conduct the service.
and he hitChed up his old horse and
drove 10 his house. The minister said
he would attend and then tried TO get
a little Information concerning the late
lamented.
What sort Of man was he2" he
asked.
We'll, about the same as no sort OF a
man nc all, replied Abner frankly.

In the community" said the minister
They're all bearing up well under

would have been not guilty and the
