ANAPPEAL

We are convinced that the Anderson Relief Association
has al real work to do in the city and suburbs and a fund should
be raised in order that this work may begin at once.
The policy of this Board is to- help those WHO cannot
help themselves and to reject every applicant for work who
does not deserve help and refuse aid to anyone able to. work
at any honest job, and able TO get such a job with the Associa-s
lions aid or otherwise.
Every possible precauiionS will be taken to provide
against imposition and to, see that the money contributed IS
used only forIeaI deserving distress.
we therefore, appeal to the people not to delay bm. to
send instheir contributions to G. II. Geiger, Treasurer, at once.
Any amount from one cent up viii be received, as we
CONSIDER this the work of the whole community.

THE LAUGH WAS COMING.

The fallacy Of the police method of
identification of suspects was recently
emphasized in a ludicrous way in
Dallas Texas. A prisoner was arrest
ed on a charge Of dynamiting He was
suspected of having purchased the
dynamite from merchant in Fort
Worth, who swOre roundly that he
could pick the purchaser of the explo-
sive out of a thousand Bringing the
merchant into court for that purpose.
a Ievel-headed judge removed the
prisoner from the box and shufled
him up with some attorneys. reporters
and court attaches Then the witness
was asked TO pick out his man.
He positively identified newspaper
reporter present Now everybody
knows reporter never has money to
buy dynamite, so everybody laughed.
Sensing his mistake the witness back
ed up and spotted a court officer next
Everybody roared. Pointing at the
prisoner the district attorney asked il
the witness had "sold that man any
{ dynamite" Suspecting a frame up,
he stoutly declared he had never seen
the man before. The judge. in dis
gust. dismissed the charge
It's laughable, of course, but sup
pose the accused had been in the pris-
oner's box where the witness instinct
lively looked for him. and where tine
police generally put him. in such cases.
Oufra IiI-oT1- a Witness with so dpfact-
I i've memory would have been quick
to identify him as the purchaser of
1 the explosive and thereafter would
have stuck 10 it through thick and
I thin
An innocent man would have prob
ably been railroaded on "circumstan-
4 tial evidence once more: the laugh
would have been on old dame Justice
and the comedy a tragedy.

ing liquor in dry" territory. The
state had passed a law making ii a
crime for a common carrier TO do so,
and the indictment was found under
the state law. The company appealed
the case TO the supreme court of the
United states, and a decision was late
ly rendered
In the decision the court held that
If the liquor was intended for the per
sonal use of the party to whom it was
consigned, the express company could
not be punished for delivering it. The
court held that the Webb Kenyon law
did noe contemplate preventing the
shipment of liquor into dry terri
tory under such circumstances. but
that it was the evident intention of
the law TO prohibit the transportation
of liquor for commercial purposes in
TO such territory In other words. the
court held in substance that a man
cannot be prevented from receiving a
package of liquor intended for his own
use, regardless Of what a state may
say upon the subject of transpOTta-
ton. This is of course. providing the
shipment was an interstate matter.
The federal court would have nothing
to do with the shipment of a package
of anything within the confines Of the
state. The government gets control
of transportation only because it goes
from one state 10 another.

NOW. CIR THE HOOK.

Nenustiano Carranza. self-styled
president of Mexico. once more gives
proof OF the dog-in-the-manger policy
which he has adopted.
The coalition OF the United states
and the South American powers is,
without question for the sole purpose
of evidencing conclusiyely to the peo-
pie OF Mexico that this country has no
Interior or sinister motive in demand
ing restoration OF peace in that coun-
try; that it is not its purpose to fur
Their the interests Of any one of the
present factions but TO amalgamate
them into one. which Will give TO the
unhappy and starving people of Mex
leo a maximum of that liberty for
which they have fought.
Carrauza must know that his efforts
to subdue his opponents are doomed to
utter failure, as are. for that matter,
Villas.
His people are crying. in their woe,
"Niva la paz," They are starving to
death by inches. The part of patriot
would be to grasp the opportunity Of
fered to. without loss of prestige or
honor. grant their prayer. But no.
If Carranza cannot rule no other
shall. ITO Hades with the populace!"
is his motto.
1t is plainly apparent that Carranza
must be effaced from the scenes before
any real good can be accomplished.
The sooner that is done the sooner. will
the unseldsh efforts Of Mexico's neigh
bors TO bring about a cessation Of the
hideous warfare which is crucifying
that country and its poor people be
crowned with success.
1t may be necessary to grab the
hook and yank the charlatan off the
stage.

HAVE LIVED WITHOUT BRAINS

French surgeons are striving to
prove that the brain II not indispen-
sable, and serves only to fill up the
skull Three recent cases tending to
show this are reported by DR.. Eth
enne Destot, surgeon to the tribunal
of the Seine, as having come under
his personal observation.
A twelve-year-old boy in care Of
DR.. Daniel Molliere of Lyons was
stated to have lost a bowl of brains
from falling over a stair rail and frac-
turing his skull on a gas lamp. yet.
after ten days Of unconsciousness. he
completely recovered his senses and
all faculties.
Doctor Destot has himself dressed
for several months the wound OF ma
son who had the frontal bone and left
frontal lobe OF the brain torn away
while mounting large cornice stone.
The patient was unconscious for Is
days, but regained his senses. and
showed no impairment Of faculties.
The third case is that of an Arab In
care of Doctor Bruch OF Algiers. The
patient had CONS to the hospital with
wouhd on the left eyelid and de-
preston Of the skull due to severe
hammer blow, but for two months he
showed no sign Of brain trouble. when
he became suddenly unconscious and
died.
Post-mortem examination brought
the astonishing discovery that he had
been living with no brains left.
