Grant Ordered 1t
Important Historical Message Clears Sherman of a Southern
Charge. He Never Published It.

The sharpest bitterness generated in
the great American civil war grew out
of the desolation Sherman's army
made over a swath 60 miles wide be-
ween Atlanta and Charleston. South
ern women in particular ascribed the
destruction wrought to mere wanton-
ness and they exhibited Il fierce hatred
of Sherman as long as he lived. He
never deigned a defense or explanation.

news item that a telegram from Cen
eral Grant as commander I'm thief is
offered for sale in New York.

Some of the dry counties, according
TO an esteemed contemporary, are hav-
ing considerable difficulty with the
question OF m~anufacture and sale Of
wines n cider. Sweet cider can be
legally made and sold. but the trouble
is that sweet cider becomes hard cider
at the a provocation. and then 1t is
illegal. 1t is sometimes difficult for
the authorities to distinguish between
sweet and hard cider. but an old ex-
pert, Luke Binks. gives the following
as a sure method:
rake a quart jug and place it on
your right arm. with you elbow bent.
and put the top Of the jug again your

THE VILLAGE ORATOR.

Under the spreading campaign tree
the village chestnut stands. A mighty
orator is he and when he waves his
hands and let's his voice sound full
and free he drown out all the bands.
He is a man of wisdom who knows
how to save the state. He is a states
man through and through, but sad
tits to relate his meat and grocery
bills are due and he can't liquidate.
The folks have known him many
years and tell his anecdotes, when he
pom the stage appears and argues
for the votes. He tells them how the
nation bleeds with woe and discon-
tent. He tells them what the nation
needs and how funds should be spent.
He tells Of great financial deeds, but
he can't pay his Owl rent. He waves
the starry flag on high and makes
the eagle scream He yanks the stars
out of the sky to punctuate his dream.
It seems he never will go dry and
never run out of steam. He is a mighty
economist, but is most always broke.
The common people he'd enlist to deal
q mighty stroke. He's one whom fame
has never kissed-a scream. a
screech, a joke.

WILLIAMS GROVE. PA, Aug. 20
Governor Woodrow Wilson fired his
opening gun here today in his cam
paign for the presidency. Addressing
the farmers gathered here for the meet
ing Of the Pennsylvania state grange,
the Democratic nominee appealed for
support upon the tariff plank in his
platform. He promised economic re
forms not only beneficial to the farm
er but to all
Governor Wilson likened our govern
ment to a vast partnership with every
citizen holding a share in it. He de-
clared that a great economic change is
going on and cited the passage Of the
farmers free list by the last congress as
an expression of it.
Governor Wilson said, i'm part
1T is strange we should have put off
So long looking into our government to
see whether it is in fact run according
to the rules we originally laid down
for it. but it is certain that we are
now looking into it very sharply indeed
and without the least danger that we
shall be deceived again as to its char
acter Our idea of it has been from
the first that it was a genuine partner
ship and that all of us were partners
and that there was no ranking of junior
and senior partners; that nobody had
any preference over anybody else in
the arrangement, but that all were upon
one footing and were to share alike
But a very interesting thing has come
to light. That is not, in fact the way
the government has been administered
in our home, but something very differ
emit 1t has been in the hands of self
constituted trustees and the wards have
seldom been allowed a real governing
voice in its administration.

Declares Ordering of Troops to
Nicaragua Was Dictated by
Big Capitalists.
ASSERTS CONGRESS WILL
MAKE THOROUGH PROBE
Says President Exceeded His
Authority and Welded a
Dangerous Power.

Declaring that President Tafts act ir
sending body OF armed soldiers and
marines into Nicaragua was contrary
TO the constitution and unauthorized by
law, Senator Augustus O. Bacon, who
is In Atlanta today, said congress would
make full investigated of the matter
He believes that the danger that some
American capitalists might lose by the
overthrow Of the Nicarasuan govern
ment was responsible for the act of the
president.
I'm my opinion, the sending of from
5000 to 1000 troops, consisting of in
fantry marines and armed sailors. into
Nicaragua by the president without
authority from congress is not only
without law, but absolutely in viola ton
of the law" said Senator Bacon.

Declares Congress
Alone Has Power.

OF course, it. is recognized that un-
der certain circumstances small bodies
of marines may be landed in a foreign
country, for instance, to protect Ameri-
can Consulates. But that Is very diff
ferent matter from sending an army
into foreign country to take sides
between two contrasting factions within
that country.
IF 5000 to 1000 troops can be sent,
why not 10000 or 10000, or any greater
number? The larger force could be
sent by him with equal propriety and
justification into some Other country,
Mexico for instance. There is just az
much authority for the president to
send $4,000 soldiers into Mexico as to
send 5000 men into Nicaragua.
IF such action is really necessary.
then it is the duty Of the president TO
report tho matter to congress and have
congress authorize the movement That
duty is vested in congress by the con-
stituton and is not given to the presi-
dent
1T is a dangerous power to be eXer-
cised by any one man and the Consti-
tuition carefully denied It to the presi-
dent and vested it in congress alone.

Taft Governed by
Big Capitalists.

In Nicaragua, | have no doubt, the
whole proceeding is in the interest Of
some American capitalists who have
loaned money to the existing govern
ment and who would lose their money
should the existing government be
overthrow.
The senate has appointed an inves-
tigating committee and the whole mat
ter win be sifted from top to bottom"
Senator Bacon is looking well, though
rather exhausted from the long session
and the hot weather. He will take a
rest at home through September but en-
October expects to canvass some Of the
Northern states for the Democratic
party.
The senator said the atmosphere in
Washington indicated that Republicans
hardly expected to win this year. He
expressed himself as confident Of Dem
oCratic victory.
IF there is any lack Of enthusiastic
feeling for Woodrow Wilson l have
failed to observe it," he said. THE
party seems to be firmly knit together.

tives is certain for the coming term,
