The "Injustice" Due Wood.
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."

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.
