GEN. SHERWOOD, DEMOCRAT

The Toledo Blade, published in the
congressional district from which
Gen. Sherwood was elected, has the
following to say OF its distinguished
citizen:
Gen. Sherwood has the singular
diStinction-for modern times-of be-
ing returned to congress upon his rec
ord as a soldier and a gentleman.
His victory was personal, not par
tisan. He might have advocated, one
of his friends said the arneNation of
the moon or questioned the common
right to grumble, and the vote would
have been the same.
Gen. Sherwood's generation pos
sessed a vitality the consideration Of
which awes the younger generations.
1t worked with a high zest. 1t bore
hardship almost with gayety. 1t suf-
fered such ups and downs of indi-
vidual fortune as few of us today can
realize. Its enterprise was prodi-
gious. And in the midst of blossom
ing opportunities and the fruition Of
dreams it dropped the affairs Of self
and went forth to fight a a
THE character of that generation
makes itself manifest in the words
and manner Of Gen. Sherwood hardly
less than in his staunch grip upon
life. For this, among other thinga,
he has been hopored by his district.
1t has been a way by which a great
number of men and women have done
reverence to their %sires.'
Gen. Sherwood is a picturesque
character, more than 81 years old.
At the outbreak of the Civil war he
enlisted as a private in the Union
army, and at its close was discharged
as a brigadier-general. In four years
he had participated in 43 battles and
had been cited for gallantry on ten
different occasions. He participated
in the battle of Franklin, where sew
eral officers were slain. 1t has al
ways been a boast Of Gen. Sherwood
that generals in the Civil war led
their men into battle instead of pro
tecting themselves in bomb-proof po-
sitions while the fighting went on.
The general was elected to con
gress for the first time in 1874, He
served a single term. Thirty-foul
years later he was reelected anC
served continuously until 1920, wher
the Republican landslide carried hin
into retirement. He is back again
active and vigorous, and all the coun
try joins the hope that he has many
more years of usefulness before him
He is perhaps the only survivor o
the Civil wal in the house. There
is not more than one remaining il
the senate. There are sentimental al
well as personal reasons for the gen
eral approval that followed the an
nouncement of the Succets of thi
splendid old Yankee Democrat
Scimitar.

THE SUPREME COURT DECISION
ON FIRE INSURANCE

The Mississippi Supreme Court has
handed down a decision directly
aimed at the well being Of the citizens
Of our state, because it will tend to
drive out of operation in this State,
or limit the workings of, fire insur-
ance companies.
Because the companies fined by the
Kinds County Chancery Court had
adopted the same rate for carrying
the fire risk on property in this State
they were adjudged to be in a Trust.
Such a decision is unjust to the prop
erty holders and to the insurance
companies.
In almost every other business
there are varying costs Of production
and operation which result in an un-
equal expense of making available to
the consumer the product for sale. In
the insurance field this hardly applies
A building has a certain fire haz-
ard which is invsriable regardless Of
the company insuring it. The rates
for both fire and life INSURANCE de
ponds on the hazard. When this haz-
ard does not vary there is no reason
why the rates Of different companies
should vary, for the cost of operation
Of forces to maintain the ~organiZa-
ton is the only expense which can
wary and this expense is only a small
part of the cost of irsuring property
The decision filming these insurance
companies falls down at another
point. 1t is true that they belong to
an organization OF fire insurance
companies, but this organization did
not establish the rate for insuring
property in this Statet The rates
were determined by an impartial
firm absolutely u%nconnected with any
Of the underwriters or with their or
ganization.
The decision in this case certainly
appears to be unjust to the insurance
companies and to the property hold.

Secretary Signs Order AboI-

and Office of Supervisor

(By The Associated Press.)

Washington, May 23,-Secretary
Mellon signed an order today abol-
ishing the accounts unit and the
office of supervisor of collectors
offices and consolidated the duties
hitherto performed by these two
offices under a new unit to be
known as the accounts and collec-
tions unit of the bureau of internal
revenue.
Deputy Commissioners Charles G.
Nash of Minnesota, former assist
ant field supervisor, will assume
charge of the new unit which
comes into being forthwith. Dep
uty Commissioner A. d. Sumner of
Iowa, who has been in charge of
the accounts unit, and G. C. Child
OF Ohio, supervisor OF collectors.
have been removed from office by
virtue of the consolidation.
The consolidation was based on
a recommendation made to the
commissioner of internal revenue
by The tax simplification board.
Both Deputy Collector Sumner and
Mr.. Childs were said to have been
appointed recently by Elmer Do
yer, assistant secretary Of the
treasury.
Removal of Mr.. Sumner and Mr..
Childs in the absence of Mr.. Dover,
who is on a tour of the Pacific
coast, caused internal revenue and
customs officers to recall sftua-
tion which arose at the treasury
when Carl s. Graybill, named as
appointment clerk OF the bureau
upon the recommendation of Mr..
Dover, was removed by Commits
sioner Blair while Mr. Dover was
In New York. Treasury officials
were frankly curious as to the
probable outcome OF the removal
OF the two Dover appolntees today
IN view OF the recent admitted diff
ference of opinion between Mr..
Dover and Mr.. Blair as to the
methods Of increasing the effici-
ency of the bureau.
At the time of the "Graybill in
cident" and the resultant discus.
sion OF reorganization of the bu-
reau. Secretary Mellon was under
stood to have taken a similar view
OF the situation as Mr.. Blair, and
an official announcement was
made that no changes in the bu-
reau.A we're contemplated. Thut
statement was issued, however.
after the publication OF reports
that Mr.. Dover was planning a
sweeping reorganization of the bu-
reau's personnel.
Today's action was regarded by
some officials as an indication of
intention by the revenue bureau to
carry the difference of opinion
still further, and interest was
evinced as to how Mr.. Dover would
accept the removal of the two Of
fioials. Beyond the formal men,
orandum stating that the consoli-
dation OF units was upon the rec
ommendation of the tax simplifica-
tlon board, Mr.. Blair would make
no comment on the situation.

PROMISE AID IN
ENFORCEMENT Of
WISCONSIN LAWS
Movement Is Started to De-
feat Propaganda of Liquor
Interests for Light Wine
and Beer.
(By The Associated Press.t

Milwaukee, Wis, May 2S.-Prom-
ises to aid in all law enforcement
work in the state were made today
by speakers for various organiza-
tions represented at the opening of
the Wisconsin law enforcement
convention assembled to coordinate
educational work to win complete
support for the eighteenth amend
ment and defeat propaganda of
liquor interests for light wines and
beer.
Representatives of educational
institutions, newspaper publishers.
churches of all denominations and
civic bodies we're present to pledge
the support of their organizations
to the program of the convention.
"The Catholic Total Abstinence
Society of America Is in sympathy
with law enforcement in every
way" Rev. J. G.. Hogan, OF Stevens
point, Wis, said in representing
that organization.
"Obedience to established au-
thority is one of the cardinal prln-
ciples OF the Catholic church," he
L iCl tiOiC vii llD NNiy w
ginning the Catholics have stoutly
stood for law enforcement, If the
Catholic citizen is to be true to his
teachings he must stand for law
enforcement without reservation.
Stephen Bollis, editor of the
GAINESVILLE Gazette, representing the
daily press of the state, was one OF
the principal speakers today. He
said in part:
when the nation suddenly
awoke to the fact that booze was
destroying the economic efficiency
of the human race it was no job to
get whisky and it's allies placed in
the category of prohibited poisons.
"a few newspapers preach NULL
fication Of the law. Their great IN
fluence, however, is far less than
that of the wife who used to put
her drunken husband to bed.
"They say prohibition has caused
economic discomfort. May be so.
/ know of nothing that has made
for progress in the world so much
discomfort.
IT have known contented men.
They were and are yet the loafers
on Main street, and the wire IS

he had lost four wives from over

D. A. MATSQN To
ACCEPT OFFICE
Of TREASURER
Transfer Is Expected to Be
Made About June |; H.
7. Gardner of AIbuquer-
que Will Be Deputy.

Especial Correspondence TO The journal. J
Santa Fe, May $50. A. Matson,
|of Albuquerque, announced this
afternoon, following a conference
with Governor M. c. Mechem, that
he had accepted the appointment
as state treasurer. Transfer of the
office has been commenced, and
probably will be finished about
June !, when Mtatson will assume
his new duties. He said this after
noon to the Journal correspondent
that he would spend at least three
days of each week in the treas
urer's office. The practice of per-
sonally supervising the work has
not been the custom of state treas
urers> for some years.
III. I. Gardner. of Albuquerque,
will be appointed deputy treasurer,
Matson said he had decided. Gard
ner was deputy treasurer of Berna-
lilo county during Matson's four
years as county treasurer. He is
now employed in the state National
bank. ASK.
Charles U. Strong, retiring treas
urer, filed his resignation with
Governor Mechem more than two
months ago. The resignation was
not accepted Immediately for the
reason that Governor Mechem de-
sired first to have a complete audit
made of the accounts and affairs
of the office. Such an audit,
checking the accounts as inter-
woven with the accounts of the
state auditors office, had not been
made for five years. When Strong's
resignation was filed, the state
travelling auditors force began
checking and reconciling the ac-
counts of the two offices. This
audit is now ready, and the making
of the transfer has been begun.
