In a most undignified assault, Senator Sena-tor Sherman virtually called the President Presi-dent a fakir and reflected on nearly every member of the cabinet No one need bp told th inspiring motive. Sherman is one of those petty pet-ty politicians who would rather Bee J the United State fail in this war than to lose his political advantage Men who are so selfish and narrow can do more to retard our progress in this 1 war than if they were avowed enemies ene-mies Their falso notes are disconcerting discon-certing and produce discord where there should bp unity When Senator Sherman discloses some constructive work in this war, ' and not until then, will he be worthy I of thp confidence of thp American people. peo-ple. So far we do not recall one helpful help-ful word from this cheap politician We are beginning to believe with R. W. Child, a writer in Collier's, that there are very few capable men in this congress. The great majority of the lawmakers are toying with the nation's na-tion's fate. |
