SHOULD END ALL ARGUMENT
Ohio Newspaper Produces Proof That
General Sherman in Speech De-
clared War Was "HeII."

In answer to inquiries as to where
Gen. William T. Sherman made his
famous speech in which he defined
war, and to refute intimations that he
never said it at all, the Columbus CO..
Dispatch asserts that General Sherman
said 1t In Columbus on August IL, 1880,
and in support Of the assertion pro-
duces from it's files the copy Of a
short address he made there at that
time, in which the now famous ex-
preston defining war was made.
The occasion was a reunion Of the
Civil war soldiers of Ohio. President
Hayes was guest Of honor and most
Of the living generals Of the Civil war
were present. The addresses were
made In the open at Franklin park.
Il was raining hard when General
Sherman's turn came to speak. but he
stood out uncovered and delivered his
short speech. As published, it con-
tanned just 30S words. Abiding to the
fact that old soldiers did not mind the
rain, he continued:
"You all know that this Is not sol
diering. There Is many boy here to-
day who thinks war is all glory, but,
boys, 1t is all hell. You can bear that
warning to generations yet to come.
u look upon 1t with horror, but, II 1t
has to come, am here"
This last clause brought great APP
plause and when 1t subsidized the gen.
eral proceeded on another line Of
thought.

crowd will control almost the entire
financial strength of the state.
When the bank law was passed it
was said the $2,OO0,0OO of bonds
could not be sold.
But Townley and LeSeur and Lem
ke who drew the bills were crafty.
The bonds did not have to be sold.
All that was necessary was to issue
the bonds and put them in the bank
vault. Just as soon as the bonds were
signed and put in the bank, the Bank
of North Dakota was authorized to
open and begin business by calling all
the public money into it's vaults. For
this clever trick, Mr.. Townley takes
modest credit.
The law creating the Bank of North
Dakota actually confiscates the finan-
cial resources of the state. Whether
they will be used for the benefit and
good of the people or wasted by in
competent politicians, only time can
tell. But it is certain that Montana
does not care to place it's resources >
the practical control of every banking
institution in the state-in the hands
of few men elected to public Office,
no difference how worthy they may
be as lawyers, farmers, politicians or
business men in private life.
