It’s a chilly autumn morning in Benton, Missouri, and the city’s municipal authorities are stirring up a hornet’s nest of controversy. Phil Hansen, publisher of the Scott County Kicker, has been stirring up the pot with his latest editorial, ‘INCHEB MAKI THE MAN.’ Hansen’s argument is simple: a man’s stature has nothing to do with his worth or ability. He cites the great French novelist, Baltac, who often half-whimsically, often seriously endeavored to show a connection between short stature and excellence. The Roman conquerors, Hansen points out, were often short.
