General Wood, says the Yortcville Enquirer, "has not lost anything by the injustice that was done him by the administration in denying him an active part in the World war." Evidently This Enquirer has fallen a victim to the old story that has been industriously circulated, for political reasons, byfriendB of General Wood since he was first mentioned at the close of the World war as a possible candid arte for 'the Republican nomination for the presi-' dency. The administration is not responsible for General Wood's failure to receive an assignment in Europe to fight the Germans, we were Borne months ago told by a United States flpnflt/ir XJL'Vir* rmf Ko SnfAMma*UM ? , .. >.v miv uuui uiaviuii IRIIU the secretary of war, Mr. Baker. Nor did Mr. Baker himself withhold from General Wood the opportunity to show on the battlefields of Europe what a great military genius he is, albeit he has never had any experience in commanding men in action except on one or two occasions in Cuba when a Bdore or two soldiers were biffing each other in the Yanko-S..anko war. Here are the facts as we get them concerning the stay-ab-home career of General Wood in the World war: Shortly after General PeTshing reached Europe as 'the commander of the American expeditionary forces, the war department requested him to furnish the department with a list of the regular army generals he wished assigned to active duty overseas. In due time the i request of the department was com* plied with by General Pershing. The list did not bear the name of General Wood, and for good reasons as General Pershing is understood to have since explained. Wood is no general in the sense that men's lives should be entrusted to his care, and General Pershing knew it. Wood is said to be a good organiser, which appears to bd about all there is to Bay in his behalf as a military man. General Wood's "'record In the army from a contracting surgeon to the com-' mand of a department" might make a* strong aDneal for him a* t*?? can candidate for the presidency, as The Enquirer suggests?that is, to the! uninformed. But depend upon the Democrats to have something to sayj about General Wood's army record, to1 , tell it in Gath and publish it in the streets of ABkelon that the people/ having an ear for the explosion of < myths, may hear and rejoice. For one thing they are going to let it be known that the rankest injustice was done scores of regular army officers by Koosevelt, who was an adept at that sort of thing, when he jumped Wood over their heads to provide him with an easy berth in the array, for no other reason than that Wood was a personal friend of his. Prior to the War with Rpain Wood had had no military experience, we are informed. He and Roosevelt were in the same command in that skirmish, and Roosevelt, forming an attachment for Wood, nothing was easier than for him as president to show favoritism for his former com- L rede in urmB. How Roosevelt ever got the senate to confirm the nomination he sent up promoting Wood over the . heads of regular army officers is one of the unsolved puzzles of politics. We do not know, of course, vhethe*: General Wood would prove a strong candidate for the presidency or not, but we are convinced that if he is , nominated and elected the reactionary forces of the country win again be in the saddle. Furthermore, he la a pronounced militarist and given a Republican Congress to do his bidding, aa M any Republican Congress would do, pretty soon the American people would wake up to the fact that the army establishment of the country had been increased tenfold and that, due Co the large army, the menace of War was ever present. Today all over the land there are in happy homes young men who have returned from service in the army overseas. Had Wood been in Pershing's pla.-e thousands of those BJE young men would have been'buried tat foreign uoil, for Wood knew nothing about military itmUgy and eeold not have husbanded their Uvea as Parshin g did. But after all Wood might prdta a strong candidate for the presidency by reason of the "injustice" done him by a fellow Republican?John f. Pd?hiiig. mI We have long regarded Thomas R. Marshall, vice president of the United States, as one of the truest and best men in public life. Some months ago Mr. Marshall made an sddreee before Che Legislature in .Columbia and one eodldnot listen to #faat he 'had to sgy and remark the manner in which his words were uttered without being impressed by his sincerity. In "the course of the address Mr. Marshall reverently referred to the fact that God had not blessed his and Mm; Marshall's home With any children of their own, but that they had found great pleasure in trying to gukle aright the foosteps of a little | orphrT boy they had adopted. Shortly 1 after Mr. Marahall waa in Columbia the i press dispatches contained an announce- 1 ment of the death of the child and the hearts of all those who heard his tender references to the lad must have gone oat to him and Mrs. Marshall in their hour of sorrow. Now Mr. Marshall gives further testimony of his interest in the things that make life worth Uving. Hear him at a Church mass meeting in Washington: "Tfce man in the street iB not tired of the words of the Nazarene. When the Church trainh up its children with fixed views, when it prdves its faith in the communion of the saints, by its works, its courts 'will be thronged with worshipers and there will be no need for patchwork legislation to reconcile labor and capital, nation and nation." ^ ? 1 Fart M31 School Alive. Winthrop Weekly News. The schools of the State which now .?.? uuiuo cvuiiuiiuu Mugui uuuer uie Smith- Hughea provisions are: Rock Hill,, Fort Mill, Seneca, Woodruff, Westminster and Orangeburg. Some of these schools also have Smith-Hughes teachers of agriculture. Fort Mill is one of the schools which has both typeB of this valuable teaching. Superintendent Ward is a school man alive to the interests of his community and he may be counted upon to seek all available means for the advancement of the community's progressive interests. . The type of schools developed in communities approximating the sise of Fort Mill is a matter of supreme importance to education in the State. The majority of such places have outlying school territory which should at least look to this town for high school education. The majority of such places offer opportunities for real qualities of leadership, for leaders who know and who are up and doing to have their schools function in a valuable and felt way.
