The circumstances under which this utterance was made and the exact language in which Sherman made it are not so widely known, however. | It was at a reunion of Civil War vet- erans at Columbus, O., in 1880, that Gen- eral Sherman was called upon to say a few words, after President Hayes had made the principal address of the day. In an im- promptu speech of only about three | minute the General spoke of the comrade- ship which bound him to the rank and file of veterans, and of his pleasure of meet- in, so many of them 15 years a‘ter the end of the war, and concluded as foilows: “The war now is away back in the past and you can tell what books can not. When you talk, you come; practical realities just as/th oy happened. You all know-this (the reunion) is not sol- diering here. “There is many a boy here today who | looks on war as all glory; but, boys, it is all hell. You can bear this warning voice to generations yet to come; I war with horror, but if it has to come, I am here.” individuals | taxes before. | begin- | In coming sessions further increases, | The American people will | But certainly the Amer- ; at minimum | It means the elimination of any ac- | ity which does not fall into the essential | the big depart- ; wn to the} look upon | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN While husbands, sons and broth- ers prepare to enter military train- ing for defense of their country, 5,000,000 women in the United States already are mobilized against legislation hostile to their house hold budgets. This was revealed by & recent | survey of American homemakers now actively interesting themselves in legislation affectirg the Home and fam- ily. Indicative of the interest the modern Ameri- can homemaker rectly on her Mrs., Ore home is the re Sunbar cent action of the General Federation cf Women’s Clubs in creating a department of international relations. It is the duty of this department to inform itself of trade agreements and treaties between the Unitec States and foreign countries. Thus, fed- eration members are kept informed of world affairs which have a direct or indirect bearing on their homes and can make their voices heard in the legislative halls of Washington. An interesting recent example of the modern homemaker’s alertness to legislation which penalizes her family’s annual income was the fight waged by a number of wo- men’s organizations, against ,the Patman anti-chaiy store bill. Frankly designed to tax national chains out of existence, which would cripple Women Arm Against Legislation Hostile to Their Home Budgets the low-cost distribution of foods and other necessities of life as de veloped by the chains, this bill in- curred the wrath of members of sach organizations as the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, the American Home Economics Asaoci- ation, the American Association of Usiversity Women, the Massachu- setts Committee on Consumer Leg- islation and the Philadelphia Con- sumers Advisory Committee. Ap pearing in Washington before a sub-committee of the House Ways and Means Committee to voice pro- tests agaimst the measure, repre- sentatives of these organizations are credited with a major share in its defeat Another interesting example of the new awareness of the Ameri. | cam woman to legislation affecting her family is the program con- ducted by the League of Women Voters. During 1939 this organiza- tion held 5,000 discussion groups on existing and pending legislation and sent out 60,000 pieces of litera- ture in the form of kits to give constructive information to those unable to attend the discussion groups. Analyzing the role of the mod- ern homemaker, Mrs. Saidie Orr Dunbar, president of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, says, “Women’s interest in and partici- pation in community and civic life expands with the trend of the times. The American woman is learning that the role of homemaker in these days of economic confusion extends from the kitchen all the way to the legislative chambers of | the 48 states and even to the capi | tol in Washington.” SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL Former Editor of The Citizen John Heflin, 74-year-old wi- dower of Amissville, Va. re- cently took a 15-year-old bride, Dovey Walker. , He liked the rest of her family so well that he also took her parents and their five other children to live with him on his farm. To warn motorists agajnst fal- len timber, roadways in Bear Mountain Park in New York |state have signs reading: “Beav- 'ers at Work.” The animals are at this season cutting down trees for their winter building op- } erations. Judge Guy Gullick of Green- ville, S. C., reports that about a ‘dozen young men in his county, who gave their ages as 21 a few months ago in order to obtain marriage licenses, now say they are only 19. They want the records corrected so they may be sure to escape the draft. While the chief of police of Statesboro, Ga., listened to a ser- mon on a recent Sunday night, thieves stole two cars, drained several gasoline tanks, took a number of spotlights and ran- sacked compartments of cars parked outside the church. The Census Bureau estimates jthat there are now a little more than 80 million citizens of voting age in the United States. In the 1936 presidential election only | 45,646,817 ballots were cast, but | the number is expected to ex- ceed 50 million this year. \ —— In a recent speech Britain's described Mussolini as the “little Italian accomplice, trudging atong hopefully and hungrily, but wor-| |riedly and timidly” at Hitler’s | side.

He calls registration day a “day of mourning for the death of the American way of life’ and takes pride, ap- parently, in the fact that there is “enough aes | Socialist can-§ Ortent are complaining of high | steamship fares being charged. ‘Ironically enough, Japanese lines are said to be offering to bring them to the United States for much less than is charged by democracy left” to permit him and his fol- | lowers to carry-on a campaign for the re- peal of the law. Strange to say, Mr. Thomas is within the rights accorded him by the laws and Constitution of this country. Democracy permits its foes to take advantage of its privileges to assail its virtues. The de- fense of democracy is the privilege of every citizen and so great is its strength that it protects the enemy as he launches his of- | | fensive. Prime Minister Winston Churchill | U. S..
