A Lesson For the Boys

One of the most conspicuous fig
pres in American politics to-day is
Thomas ? Gore, VINO has been
nominated for the United States
Senate by the Democratic party OF
Oklahoma, and who will be elected
if Oklahoma is admitted to state
hood, as is now a foregone conclu-
sion. MIR Gore is described as a
brilliant lawyer, a witty, versatile
debater and an eloquent advocate.
His talents in any event would
have made him prominent, but at
tention attracts to him especially
since he is blind.
When just eight years of age
Young Gore was accidently struck
in the eye by a playmate. Three
years later, at time when he was
serving as a page in the Mississippi
State senate, an arrow from a cross
bow destroyed his other visual or
gan. At eleven he was totally de-
priyed of sight, but, nothing daunt-
ed, he pursued his studies, and at
sixteen entered the Normal School
at Walthaii. Miss. He asked no
favors on account of his affliction,
and graduated with distinction.
Two years later, in june. 1892, he
was graduated from the law de-
partment of the cumberland Uni
versity. at Lebanon, Tenn.
In 1901 he moved to Lawton,
Oklahoma, and the following year
was elected to the Territorial Senate
as a Democrat. 1t was in that body
that he displayed abilities which
gave him the nomination to The
United States Senate. His oppo-
nents were a millionaire banker
and wealthy attorney, but, al
though a poor man, Gore had an
easy victory.
Is not this an inspiration to
every young man who is struggling
under difficulties?
If youth without sight may
gain an education, become lawyer
at twenty.one, and finally rise to a
seat in the United States Senate, is
there any excuse for failure on the
part of any ambitious youth with
two good eyes? Brace mp, boys
