SECRETARY SHERWOOD
MAKES APPEAL FOR
THE CHARITY FUND
Today’s chilly rain is a forceful
reminder of the near approach of
winter, bringing, as it always does,
suffering and hunger to the poor
and needy among us.
The local United Charities has ask-
ed tjie Chamber of Commerce and
News-Telegram to make an urgent
appeal to our people for sufficient
funds to enable that worthy organi-
zation to meet the actual needs in
relieving the distressed during the
winter months. But few persons have
as yet responded to the call in Sun-
day’s paper. The situation the Unit-
ed Charities finds itself in is a very
serious one, and our public spirited
citizens should come to their relief
at once. ‘Phone your donations to
either the Chamber of Commerce or
the News-Telegram. Do it now. Mr,
Bagwell will carry the names of all
contributors in the paper from day
to day. CHAMBER COMMERCE.

mary race. His victory in the gen
eral election was bitterly fought, but
handily won.
Through it all, he was given the
active support of Mrs. Gore, who
doesn’t pretend to know the ins and
outs of politics, but who does know
how to help keep her husband cheer-
ful and fighting hard, even when
against great odds.
Gore spent little money in his cam-
paign. He asserted he didn’t have
any to spend. Nevertheless he con-
quered Senator Pine, who had an or-
ganization that extended down to
every precinct in the state.
THE PRESIDENT’S
MESSAGE WAS
RATHER SHORT
President Hoover sent to the Con-
gress a rather brief message, with few
recommendations, suited to the short
session of three months left to the
Seventy-First Congress. Over half
of the message is devoted to a sum-
mary of the economic situation and
its causes, accompanied by a state-
ment of the measures taken by the
Government in view of the situation.
The remainder of the paper discuss-
es finance, foreign relations and mis-
cellaneous matters. He promises oth-
er messages from time to time to cov-
er subjects that require special treat-
ment, such as the finances of the
Government and the World Court.
The President is optimistic as
usual, and believes that the funda-
mental strength of the Nation’s econ-
omic life is unimpaired and that sub-
stantial progress has been made in
national peace and security. He
stresses also his favorite panacea for
social ills—extensive co-operation
throughout the country, between cap-
ital and labor, producers and con-
sumers, Federal and local govern-
ments—shown in maintaining stand-
ards of wages and in construction
work as an aid to the unemployed.
He recommends an appropriation
of a hundred to a hundred and fifty
millions of dollars so as to expedite
construction on public works, and an
appropriation for loans on seed and
feed for animals. He also wishes
Congress to make inquiry into the
workings of the antitrust laws, re-
taining their fundamentals, but aim-
ing to prevent monopoly, waste and
destructive competition. He desires
also further legislation respecting
immigration and the deportation of
aliens, and favors the building rath-
er than leasing of post offices. He
recommends temporary Federal aid
for rural health measures.
The message asa whole is an un-
impressive document, saying little
more than has been said in recent
speeches.and statements from the
White House. It is the short session,
however, of Congress; the work of
that body is already cut out for it in
unfinished business, and the Nation
concurs in the President’s desire
“that these measures should be com-
pleted.” Since Muscle Shoals is one
of the items, the Congress has a hard
task to perform, in addition to appro-
priations and the Senate’s discussion
of entrance into the World Court.—

Oklahoma City, Dec. 4.—When
blind Thomas P. Gore goes back to
the United States senate next year to
bolster the Democratic bloc and to
represent Oklahoma after a decade
in, private life, the “eyes of the
Gore family,” Mrs. Nina Gore, his
wife, affectionately known as “Tot”
will be at his side.
And. it will be largely through his
wife that the brilliant Oklahoman,
who made senate oratory sparkle with
his wit and silver tongue for 14
years, will keep in touch with all
that goes on around him.
Of course, Gore, blinded by acci-
dent when he was a youth, will have
his corps of secretaries to help carry
on his work and keep him informed,
but it will be the task of Mrs. Gore
to read to him, at their home, the in-
tricate political writings which the
senator demands as his daily fare.
Often His Lone Companion.
Throughout his “comeback” drive,
which he climaxed by defeating his
millionaire Republican opponent,
Senator W. B. Pine, by 22,000 votes,
Gore had Mrs. Gore almost constant-
ly at his side. In the pre-campaign
days a year ago, before Gore had def-
iniftely decided to run, Mrs. Gore
often was the only companion of the
lonely old man who nearly everyone
thought was “done” politically.
Beaten in the post war elections
because of his opposition in the war-
time senate to President Woodrow
Wilson’s policies,. Gore had tried pre-
viously to stage a “comeback;” his
efforts had been marked with fail-
ure. This time, even he believed,
would be his last chance. The aid
of Mrs. Gore cheered him on to make
the race.
Run-off Is Landslide.
Gore won easily over a large field
in the first primary and turned mar-
gin into a landslide to win the Demo-
cratic nominations in the run-off pri-

PASSING OF OWNER
OF HISTORIC SHOW
Tombstone, Ariz., Dec. 3.—The
old tombstone of the bloodthunder
80s, now a quiet little town beside
the deserted mines today mourned the
death of Charles L. Cummings, once
its mayor and owner of the widely
known Bird Cage theatre. Cummings
died last night in his seventy-sixth
year.
A native of Oxford, N. Y., he came
to Tombstone in 1880 before the iron
horse replaced the pie-bald nag on
the trail to the mining camp. He
brushed elbows with the characters
of the Old West, the bad men who
drifted in on the scene of quick rich'
es, and became a pillar of the com
munity, aiding in the bringing of law
and order.
The most picturesque of his many
business enterprises was the Bird
Cage theatre, where the hits of
Broadway played to full houses, and
where Lotta Crabtree and other old
time favorites presented such plays
as “Ten Nights, in a Bar Room.”
The Bird Cage stands on Allen
street, the main thoroughfare within
a stone’s throw of the O. K. corral,
where the Clanton-Earp feud blaz-
ed to a climax. Cummings was re-
puted to have heard the shots which
killed three men with their boots on
at the corral-the shots that signal-
ized .the advent of the law.
Cummings was banker, cattleman
and miner and contributed much to-
ward the development of Arizona. A
few* years after the Earns and Doc
Halliday won the Clanton fight a
quieter Tombstone elected Cummings
Austin, Texas, Dec. 3.—-Lee Sim-
mons, manager of the state prison
system, considers seeing that execu-
tions are properly carried out is as
much a part of "his job as any other
detail.
The law doesn’t say the prison
manager must be present at execu-
tions, and Simmons doesn’t attend
because he wants to, but he has miss-
ed only one since becoming manager,
and the reason is he doesn’t want any
last minute complication.
He recalled recently two occasions
when his presence was essential—the
executions of Joyce Sheppard, and
the first scheduled date for the exe-
cution of Jess Maple.
Two weeks prior to the date set
for Sheppard’s execution, officers
discovered he had worked a small
nail loose from his cell and blinded
himself with it.
Although he was treated constant-
ly by a prison physician and by two
convicts, no word of Sheppard’s con-
dition ever went beyond the prison
walls until the day before the execu-
tion when newspaper men talked
with the condemned man.
Simmons called the man “Bill.”
He took the newspaper to the cell.
“Bill,” he said, “is blind. Bill, tell
these boys all about it.”
And “Bill,” who had pretended in-
sanity so credibly that offiicals fear-
ed he actually would lose his mind,
told them.
The other occasion was when Ma-
ple, made ready for the chair, re-
ceived a last minute reprieve from
Governor Dan Moody.
When such a reprieve is made, it
is “checked and double checked.”
Usually word of the stay is phoned
the prison by Pat Dougherty, secre-
tary of the governor. Although Sim-
mons knows Mr, Dougherty’s voice,
he takes no chances; the moment
Dougherty completes his call, Sim-
mons calls the governor’s office back
and Dougherty confirms it.
Simmons told no one when Shep-
pard blinded himself because lie felt
that this action did not influence the
demands for justice as exemplified
by State laws fixing the punishment
for murder at death. He knew that
shovtld he inform the public of this
action, hundreds of persons would
have beseiged the governor with re-
quests for clemency for a man who
already had been given every benefit
of the law.
One of the cleverest schemes yet
devised, for an escape was recently
frustrated at the prison, Simmons
said. A prisoner had by some means
obtained a copy of a proclamation by
Gov. Moody allowing a prisoner a
furlough. When the document was
found, all writing on it had been
carefully erased except Governor
.Moody’s signature. It would have
been an easy matter, had the convict
had more time to have filled in a full
pardon for himself, had a friend
mail it to th proper authorities, and
walked out of the prison gates free-
The officials, however, also check up
on pardons, so that the freedom, if
gained, would at the best have been
only temporary.
dead and abscessed teeth frequently
had been associated with the state of
deterioration necessary for the de-
velopment of cancer. His studies in-
dicated teeth were the cause of can-
cer of the lips and skin.
“Other tissues showing similar de-
generative changes also may produce
the same effects as dead teeth,” said
Dr. Burrows. “Removal of the teeth
alone has led to the spontaneous dis-
appearance of cancer of the lips and
skin in a few instances. In several
cases senile keratoses (tough, horny
growths) have disappeared complete-
ly after the removal of abscessed
teeth and use of a good dietary.
X-Ray Removes Scars.
“Tumors of the breast have been
associaten in each instance with uter-
ine lesion. Such breast lesions may
exist and progress for years without
any material harm to the individual.
Cancer will develop in these lesions
only when the normal cells of the
body without have suffered from a
sufficient lowering of their resistance
to allow the breast dells to grow.”
Dr. Benjamin H. Sherman of Hol-
lywood, where beauties are made and
remade, disclosed how the x-ray had
been used to destroy keloids or claw-
like scars resulting from cuts, burns
and other injuries. Science, he said,
has found that x-ray and radium at-
tack these unsightly scars and re-
store comeliness in most cases.
Dr. C. E. Piersall of Reno, Nev.,
said x-ray studies had revealed the
presence of stones under the skin of
some persons. Certain individuals,
he said, were found to have these
stones, technically called hypoder-
moliths, under the tips of the fing-
ers, in front of the elbows or in the
forearms and knees. Cowboys, he
said, sometimes develop hypoder-
moliths inside the thighs, probably
from horseback riding.
Cause Still Mystery.
Dr. Piersall said the cause was a
mystery.
How women smokers are acquiring
some of the penalties men must pay
Was told by Dr. J. M. Martin of
Dallas. He said cancer of the lip,
particularly the lower lip, once a
rarity among women, no longer is so.
Observations on the digestive tract,
made possible by x-ray, were dis-
closed by Dr. Leon J. Menville of New
Orleans.
White rats were the subject of a
report by Mine. Debrovolski Zavad-
skaia of Russia. They have enabled
her to visualize a thousand years of
human life, she said, since their gen-
erations pass so quickly. Through
them she has watched the course of
cancer in what would be 30 human
generations.
Better understanding of x-rays has
banished early fears, said Drs. E. A.
Pohle, G. Ritchie and C. S. Wright
of Maidson, Wis. They revealed the
continually expanding use of the
ray as a theraupetic agent, and proof
of its efficiency in preoperative treat-
ment of wounds.
HENRY GRADY
PAYS TRIBUTE TO
ABE LINCOLN
To The News:
The writer desires to signify to you
his hearty and sincere appreciation
of your editorial which appeared in
Sunday’s News, Nov. 23, under the
heading, “Lincolnolatry.” It was
timely, strong, subtle, but still not
lacking in a gracious self-respect. It
will doubtless be, or should be, of no
little effect in helping what may be
called Lincolnphobists to realize that
the wise thing for them to do is to
go away back, sit down and keep sil-
ent.
Indeed the verdict of the world
has long since been made up to the
effect that Lincoln, while, of course,
not perfect, was, nevertheless, a
great and good man. This being so,
it has been a source of astonishment,
I dare say, to the vast majoity' of in-
telligent Southerners to discover that
there should be, here and there, after
the lapse of sixty-five years, men
and women, though honest they may
be, who seek to belittle, if not be-
smirch, the name, fame, work and
character of Abraham Lincoln.
To realize that Lincoln was a
statesman with the vision of a proh-
et, a citizen whose fidelity to the
Union amounted almost to devotion,
a man of deep and tender sympa-
thies, one need only read his two, in-
augural addresses, his Gettysbury
speech and his letter to Mrs. Bixby.
Perhaps he did not shine with
courtly grace and splendor at public
social functions, and likewise it may
be said that he did not have the ex-
quisite literary polish of a Vest, the
university finish of a Lodge, or the
profound and varied learning of his
great antagonist on the other side of
the Potomac, yet within his stalwart
frame there reigned a soul that tow-
ered in true nobility and throbbed a
heart that in its sympathy encom-
passed the human race.
Will anyone, claiming to be a
Southerner, question the sincerity of
the immortal Henry Grady or chal-
lenge his conclusions when he sits iri
judgment in this matter? In his fam-
ous address before the New England
Club in New York, Dec., 1886, ha
declared Lincoln to be the typical
American and, among other fine
things, said: “He was the sum of
Puritan and Cavaliar, for, in his ar-
dent nature were fused the virtues
of both, and in the depths of hjgi
great soul the faults of both were
lost. He was greater than Puritan,
greater than Cavalier, in that he was
American, and that in his honest
form were first gathered the vast and
thrilling forces of his ideal govern-
ment—charging it with such tremen-
dous meaning and elevating it above
human suffering that martyrdom,
though infamously aimed, came as a
fitting crown to a life consecrated
from the cradle to human liberty.
Let us, each cherishing the traditions
and honoring his fathers, build with
reverent hands to the type of this
simple but sublime life, in which all
types are honored.”—V. B. Harris,
in Dallas News.
