Washington. June 7.-Secretary
Hoover in a report to the senate
today disclosed that he and Secre-
tary Davis had sought to present
recently suggestions which it had
been hoped would lead to a settle
ment of the existing coal strike,
but so far their efforts had been
without result.
The commerce secretary's state
ment, which was the first Gisclo-
sure that the government had
sought to intervene in the struggle
between the United Mine Workers
of America and operators of union
felds, was contained in a response
to the resolution by Senator Walsh,
Democrat, of Massachusetts, adopt
ed by the senate several days ago,
calling for information regarding
the coal situation.
No Result So Far.
Replying to the inquiry in the
Walsh resolution as to what &C
ton, if any, government agencies
have taken to terminate the strike, :"
Mr.. Hoover said:
The governmental agencies have
no legal authority to terminate or
to intervene in the strike. Quite
informally and repeatedly sugges-
tions as to propositions on which
the disputants might we'll confer
and hopes for settlement have been
made through the department of
labor and this department, but
thus far the suggestions have been
without result"

Washington, D. c., June 7.-Po-
litical revolution in Iowa was hail
ed with delight today by Progress
siVe Republicans who point to the
victory of Colonel Smith Brook
hart as part of the general upris-
ing in the Republican ranks which
gave Pinchot a victory in Pennsyl-
vania and BeYeridge a decisive trl-
umph in Indiana.
Colonel Brookhart's nomination
for United States senator was not
unexpected Privately some of the
leading Republicans in official life
here who know Iowa, have been
saying for many months that the
Iowa voters would express their
dissatisfaction with existing condi-
tions when they had their first op-
portunity. A report spread around
the capitol many months ago that
Senators Cummins and Kenyon aft
er a visit to Iowa had told their
friends that no one in office had a
Chinaman's chance for reelection
This was at the time when the farm
bloc was most vocal and when the
complaint of the farmers against
economic conditions was at its bit
terest point.
Br0Okhart Like La Toilette.
Some of the men who are oppos-
ed to everything Brookhart stands
for-as he is d radical of the La
Toilette type-frankIy confessed to-
day that if Colonel Brookhart had
been running six months ago he
would have polled an even more
substantial vote than he did this
week.
In other words they believe the
improvement in agricultural condi-
tions has in a measure satisfied the
discontented ones and they are
hopeful enough to believe that by
next autumn the discontants will
have been greatly reduced.
Not so with the Progressive Re
publicans, who admit that farm
conditions were unquestionably a
large factor in the expression of
discomfort in a state so overwhelm-
ingly Republican, but they attrib-
ute the victory to the rising tide of
progressivism in the ranks of Re
publican voters who plan this time
to do their reforming inside the
party rather than by a third politi-
cal party and organization.
New Life for Farm Bloc
The farm bloc will receive much
stimulus from the result in the
Iowa primaries. When Senator
Kenyon, chairman of the bloc, re-
signed to accept a federal judg-
ship people said that President

lyn mothers who recently estab-

HISTORY is
BUNK, VIEW
OF SHERMAN
Volumes Used in Schools
Should Be Burned,
He Says.

Lincoln, ILL.,, June 7-(By the AS
sociated Press.) Former United
States Senator Lawrence Y. Sher-
man delivered the commencement
address at Lincoln college here to-
day.
"All school histories" he said
( ought to be burnt. 1t is safer to
find the exceptions to this rule, il
there are any, than to oppose the
rule. They would shed more light
on a disordered world in a bonfire
than in the school room"
The former senator painted a
dark picture of the worlds outlook
today.
New IDEALS" he declared, must
be taught and practiced or the CIV
ilization of the Caucasian will be
quenched in a worlds dark age OF
indefinite duration. 1t must begin
in the schools and it must persist
from generation to generation. JUS
tice and the end of aggressive war
must supplant the ideals of ciViliZ-
ing by the sword.
The ancient and medieval his
tory taught the pupil is a menace, -
he said, ''Soiling the mind of a
child. Principally it is an approx
ing recital of crime by Wholesale,
mitigated by individual virtue at
long intervals.
'Under the tutelage OF such his
tory this generation knows more
about BelshazZar's last royal drunk
and Alexander's butcheries said to
have carried Greek culture through
Asia, than human justice. Julius
Caesar and Attila, the Hun, are
more familiar spirits than Aristotle
and the Apostles Battle fields are
depicted as scenes of human pro-
gress. One must conclude the best
way TO develop a people is to kill
most of them. So the conqueror's
helmet reflects the rays of glory
from fields of senseless slaughter
and years of peaceful civil oppres-
sion.
Forecasts kaiser's Restoration.
Europe now is poised on the
brink of the reservation of the mon
archy of Germany through the
kaisers family and the recognition
of soviet Russia. The Prussian
kaiser in any form is an absafute
despotism and the soviet is a gov
ernment of murderers, admins
tered by thieves. The soviet began
as a mob and ended in a despotism
as absolute as the cZar. Both are
the results of what has preceded
them, and both, as disclosed in the
secret treaty of Rapallo, uncovered
recently in the Genoa conference,
prove that kindred souls unite now,
as in ages past.
Washington and Wilberforce are
derided or ignored. One is openly
stigmatized as an antique, and 81
lence denotes the other is forgot
ten. Every reform, it is alleged,
now must ultimately be based on
government ownership or the con-
tiscation of property and even the
pulpit is not exempt from the in
sidious radical
: Karl Marx, in effect, is preached
more than Christ and Bernhardi's
gospel of force is practiced by
Christian nations instead of the
NaZarene's Sermon on the Mount
For generations that which is holy
has been given unto dogs. Can
Christian nations escape the law
and the prophets?
In the worlds census we are a
minority. We have taught the ma
jority how to destroy US. Justice is
our only means to survive"
