WHEN THE BLIND FOLLOW THE
BLIND.
A special from Washington to the
Dallas News last week extold the vir-
tues of Senator Gore in a new field
that we have some doubts about and
would like to be righted by those who
may know better.
The article tells the story of his
own misfortune of blindness and how
he has achieved the goal of Senator-
ship, which he had in his heart as a
little boy when he was first stricken.
Then it goes on to state how he has
devoted his life's talents, money and
energy to help other countless, hope-
less, struggling blind.
Now. the wonder with us has been
that all these years we have never
heard him ever raising his ' match-
less" oratory in behalf of these sight-
less, seeing souls, although lie com-
mands a high price on the Chautau-
qua platform. Nor has he ever loan-
ed a hand in providing for the state's
blind, although he was a state senator
in the territorial days, so that the
blind went wild in those days, and
under statehood was one of the last
institutions provided for.
Think what Helen Keller is doing
for her kind; yet Senator Gore is
equally as well known over the
country and Is more powerful as a
United States Senator, and has never
spoken a word for those who live In
the night
We are sorry to say that we cannot
pay him the tribute of saying that he
is using his good fortune in helping
less fortunate unfortunates than him
self. And then, besides, we happen
to know better. We happen to have
received a letter from New York,
some ten years ago, from one of the
greatest blind souls that ever lived,
a former Oklahoma citizen, complain-
ing that a solicitation for his help to
shipments of merchandise destined for
Greece.
In Serbia the Teutonic allies are
everywhere harrying the Serbs. In the
north the Austrians and Germans have
made further advances, while in the
region of Sienica the Austro-Hungar-
ians have compelled the Montenegrans
to evacuate mountain positions north
of Javor and along the iborder of the
Sanjak of Novipazar.
little has come through concerning
the campaign in southern Serbia
where the British, French and Serbs
on different sections are opposing the
Bulgarians, to whose aid German and
Austrian reinforcements are said to
be speeding by all available roads.
Whether the Bulgarians have been
able to force the defending Serbians
out of the Babuna pass and open the
gateway to Phllep and Monastir has
not yet been officially stated.
Paris says tohat to the west of Krivo-
lak the Bulgarians abandoned their at-
tacks and retreated to the heights
north of Cicevo, having lost 4,000 men
as against slight losses for the
French.
Attempts by the Teutons to cross
the Dvina river below Dvinsk were re-
pulsed by the Russians, while to the
west of Dvinsk the Teutons are de-
clared to have been driven out of their
trenches. Further south iri the region
of Tzartorksk the Austro-Germans are
still carrying on a heavy offensive
movement along the left bank of the
Styr river but the Russians have
driven them back several times.
The British hospital ship Anglia, on
which King George returned to Eng-
land a short time ago he had been
injured by being thrown from his
horse in France, has been sunk by a
floating mine in the English channel.
Of the 385 persons on board, 300 were
saved by a patrol boat. Another ves-
sel going to the aid of the hospital
ship also was sunk by a mine.

Chicago, Nov. 17.—The Bollinger

than that, they are for a state between life and death at the German-

schools, clear down to the kinder- Death it was said, was a question only
garten. j of hour*.
Can anyone remember how these Meanwhile the subject of the propri-
same statesmen captured Oklahoma oty of sacrificing the unpromising
by their terrific onslaughts on the spark of life in the infant that it
might not grow up a burden to itself
and a possible menace to society, was
the subject of widespread discussion.
Dr. H. J. Haiselden, on whOM advice
the mother acted, was visited by man?
medical men Wednesday and tele-
phone calls alternately accused and
praised him. He remained unaltered
in his conviction that death was the
greatest blessing which could he hop- >
ed for the infant
The principal physical deformities of j
the baby are the closure of the Intes-
tinal tract, paralysis of the nerves of
the right side of the face the absence
of the right ear, blindness of one eye,
and malformation of its saoulders. Dr. .
Haiselden who officiated at the birth i
noted the absence of a neck. The
brain he found to be only slightly sub-
normal, but the cranial nerveee were
absent or undeveloped.
"If he grew up he would be a hope-
less cripple and would suffer from
fits," said the doctor.
"Would his mind be clear? Would
his soul be normally alive?" asked one
of the visitors.
"That I do not know, but the
chances are against it"
The questioner cited the case of
Roswell Smith, a supposecfly harmless
defective who after reaching the adult
stage, killed little Hazel Weinstock,
for which he was hanged.
Another remarked that Fyodor Dos-
toevsky, born a defective, who gamb-
led and <had epileptic fits developed
into a great novelist and one of the
greatest psychologists in Europe.
Most of the visitors treated the baby
which lay In a 'little bundle in a priv-
ate room, as if it were uncanny. Dr.
Haiselden. who condemned it to death,
alone treated it like a human being.
He looked into the little twisted face
and patted its cheeks.
"He will be dead before the night is
over" he said. "It would he a moral
wrong," he continued, "to allow it to
live. It seems to me that a city which
allows a blackhand outrage a week,
a thousand abortions a day and an
automobile accident every round of
the clock, is hardly in position to crit-
icise a man who holds that to a defec-
tive, death is preferable to life."
The telephone rang. Dr. Haiselden
answered and for five minutes talked
with a woman. She pleaded wito him
to save the baby's life. When he re-
turnd from the telephone he smiled
grimly.
"She called me names," he said.
"Its strange what a fuss people are
making over this case when all these
abortions go unnoticed. I would not
do that."
The little bundle which was the cen-
ter of all eyes stirred and a faint cry
was heard.
"Not much longer to wait, little
one," said the doctor gently.
Then he added to those near him
"he's dying."
Dr.* John B. Murphy, former presi-
dent of the American Medical associa-
tion and physicians and professional
men and women, including a number
of clergymen generally took aides
with Doctor Haiselden. But his crit-
ics were just as numerous.
Doctor Murphy said:
"The baby's life is in the hands of
a higher power. Nature will provide
the best remedy."
Dr. Rosalie M. Ladova commented:
"A life Is a life, and I wish Doctor
Haiselden would step out and let some
one eflse operate."
Clarence Darrow, the lawyer, known
also as a humanitarian, remarked:
"Chloroform unfit children. Show
them the same mercy that is shown
beasts that are no longer fit to live."
Mr*. Anna Bollinger, the mother, re-
mained in a room nearby. Many times
she asked, "is it dead?"
She remained steadfast in her belief
that death was best for the little one.
She has three healthy chilrden and
the plight of the condemned one is be-
lieved to have been due to an attack
of typhoid fever which the mother suf-
fered recently.
The authorities took no action fur-
ther than to determine that no death
certificate should be issued until after
an investigation by the coroner.
"It is not heartless of me," Mrs. Bol-
linger said. "I loved the poor little
deformed one as I love my three other
1 healthy children, but the doctor told
me it would be a cripple all its life—
probably an imbecile and possibly* a
criminal. I gave my consent to its
death. Left to itself. It has no chance
to Uve. 1 consented to let nature
take its course.
"No one need to think me an un-
natural mother. This poor little one,
if allowed to live, would be barren,
tttelett. It is one of nature's blunders
and I am willing that nature should
correct its error by my baby's death.
I am satisfied I am doing right"
Doctor Haiseldon said he was pre-
pared to face bitter criticism and de-
fend his course.
"I have no doubt that I shall be
called a murderer," he said, "but the
infant's death is a question between
me and my conscience."
The baby, born after Its mother had
been seriously ill with typhoid fever,
came into the world last Friday.

would be the proper marketing of the crop. It is true that the
decree in acreage has had a great effect in bringing about higher
prices. While in the eastern states on account of the low price
that prevailed for cotton through last spring they were unable
to buy fertilizer which they are compelled to use in Alabama,
Tennessee, Georgia, North and South Carolina. These states
especially have to use fertilizer in order to get anything like a
yield per acre.

After having traveled the past two weeks through portions
of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabam, North and
South Carolinas the writer is convinced that the crop is going
to be a little larger than the recent report by the Government.
But this would not necessarily have broken the market as it has
been in the past two weeks. Our idea of this is on account of the
very good weather that has prevailed over the entire cotton belt
for the past three weeks and the rush of cotton to the market is su"] °f hundred and Twenty-eight
,, L- i-u :lnd 92-100 Dollars ($128.92), debt,
altogether responsible for the break in price of more than one
cent per pound. And we believe if the farmers would only stop
rushing in on the market and would store up a few bales that be-
fore the first of March they would be well paid for the trouble and
expense they have gone to to store or warehouse this cotton. And
if this is done immediately and stop rushing the cotton on to the
market you will find there would be an advance of 1 to l'/> cents
per pound within the next two or three weeks. We cannot urge
you too strongly to store your cotton for the present.
If you do not care to put it in the warehouse and pay stor-
age on it, we have a proposition whereby we will take the cotton
into our mill, work it up and give you a receipt or due bill for | torney's fee, and costs, and costs of
same. This will relieve you of any expense whatever and when-1 ^s™

sell it. We have a great number of customers who have been
delivering us their cotton for the past three or four years on this
kind of a deal and we believe any of them that you will talk to,
will tell you it is entirely satsifactory.
So if you do not wish to sell your cotton now and do not care
