Turning to the Bible

Reports made 10 the l24tn annual
meeting Of the American Bible So
cicty in New York this week show
ed that more than 100000 copies
OF the Scriptures were distributed
by that organization in 1899. Thus
the Bible continues the worlds best
seller Of all books and publications,
as i, has been for so many years
that their number is not recalled.
From d study of its annually in
creasing circulation Of the Scriptures,
one would conclude that people
more and more are turning to that
source for consolation and guild
ance in the midst OF the problems
and uncertainties of their daily liv-
ing. Many man who never read
the book before is beginning to hear
in its unchanging accents what at
long last ne is finding to be the
positive answer to his own and the
worlds despair.
The American Bible Society has
faced this man before-from the start
1t has faced him. The man without the
book has symbolized the appalling
need that brought the society into
being century and a quarter ago.
It was his plight that established the
society's first foreign agency in 1896
and the work for the blind Il year
Henderson daily dispatch., 1940-05-11

later. 1t is his wondering, half-dis-
trustful look that keeps transiators
and reviScrS' lamps burning far into
the night, and the feet of the mes
Scngers Of peace trudging over the
highways and byways Of forty coun-
;ricS TO carry the tidings Of hope and
happiness 10 all who will hear and
receive.
Hundreds of millions, the society
discloSeS, have never heard of the
Bible and US message. But, it con-
,inues, where the man without the
book has heard of it his one-timc
Scorn is not SO evident today; his
indifference is giving way to the
spirit Of inquiry, and his troubled
soul is Il bit more disposed to wonder
if here, alter ali, III this book he
may have spurncd before, is not the
answer to the deepest questions he
hus ever asked himself.

Col. Philip 3. Fleming, Administrator
Wage and Hour Division,
Department Of Labor,
Washington, D. c.
Dear Colonel Fleming:
| have just read in the Federal
Register for May 9th the order Of
yourself as Administrator finding
that Il prima facie case has been
shown for the granting Of exemption
to that branch Of the tobacco industry
engaged in the buying, handling,
sorting and grading Of green leaf to-
bacco Of type 80, and the packing
and storing thereof, and providing for
the hearing of objections to the
granting of exemption.
Let me suggest to you that in this
same connection, it would be well to
consider the exemption of the to-
baCco StemmerS, stemming the types
of tobacco produced in the State of
North Carolina.
When the Wage and Hour Act went
into effect, | was informed that one
consequence was to throw from
$4,000 to $4,000 people out Of sea-
SOnal employment in out State. They
were people who worked not by the
hour or the day, but who came and
went, doing such work as they were
capable Of from time to time in the
tobacco stcmming season. This en-
ployment provided for a great many
people who found it the means Of
supplcmcnting meager incomes. The
effect of the Wage and Hour Act was
to induce the shipment Of great
deal of our tobacco unstemmed to

foreign countries and also to induce

not the intention of your Administra-
ton, but ii was the Consequence of
the law. 50 far from providing bet
ter wages, it provided for no wages
whatever. and so far from improving
the lot of a great many poor people,
it made thir lot much worse.
Will you moi look into this with
view to constructive action prior to
the tobacco Stcmming season in the
current year?

A Life of Bitterness

Efforts are being made, and by
the time this is printed may have
succeeded, to have d full pardon
granted 10 Dr.. Frederick a. Cook
from a mail fraud conviction sent
ence many years age. The doctor
tell into the tolls OF the law on fraud
charges in connection with Texas
oil promotion scheme in the mid
POS and was sent to Federal prison
for fourteen years. After serving
about third OF the time, he was
paroled in 1880
Now the aged doctor lies desper-
ately i'll and in coma in d Port
Chester, n. Y, hospital, apparently
very near the end of a life which
for thirty years has been spent in
bitterness because Of the world 5
rejection of his sensational claim
that he had discovered the North
Pole in 1909.
Since 1880 the doctor has been
free, but always with strings upon
him under terms of the parole. A
full pardon before death brings
eternal peace to his soul is being
sought from the President, the only
man with the authority to grant it.
Dr.. Cooks sudden flash from the
frozen north in the summer Of 1909
that he had reached the North Pole
made flaming headlines throughout
the world. He plodded his way
back to civilization by way of Den
mark, where royalty stopped to do
him honor by heaping upon him all
the honorS Of which it was capable.
One after another of the crowned
heads OF Europe joined in the accla-
nation, and the United States was
waiting until he could cross the At
lantic to confer the honorS OF his
native country.
Then suddenly came another mes
sage from the Arctic from Admiral
Robert Z. Peary that he had dis
covered the North Pole on April 6
OF that year. Both claimed to have
been the first at the top of the earth,
and bitter controversy arose, with
scientists taking sides on the one
side or the other
Finally, the dispute was carried
into Congress, where the politicians
took Il hand at something else they
knew nothing about, and voted
Peary the rightful claim and dubbed
DR.. Cook d fakir and an impostcr.
He spent many of the remaining
years Of his life trying to prove the
reality Of his own achievements, but
the action Of Congress served to
close the ears and the minds OF the
public generally to him.
Later came his excursion into the
oil promotion scheme in Texas. He
never admitted any guilt there, but
the cards were stacked against him.
The country, or large part of it,
years before had made up its mind.
and the Texas conviction merely
added fuel to the fire.
A layman who has little or no
scientific knowledge is not qualified
to give an opinion or to take a stand
on things of this sort. But we have
to confess to an original and con-
tinuing sympathy for the doctor.
Somehow we always had the idea
that it was just as easy for Admiral
Peary to do some taking as for DR..
Cook. Peary, however, happened to
be naval officer and because of
that had influence and pull.
The dying doctor may be so far
gone now that he will never know
whether Mr.. Roosevelt grants him a
full pardon. But for whatever it
may be worth now or ever, we hope
the President will.

= Nearly $500 fans saw the
Newark high school football
Wildcats go on the prowl for the
second week in a row as they
soundly whipped the Mt. Yer
non Yellow Jackets, $40, last
\ Friday under the lights at
White field. 1t was Newark's
second win in as many starts
and the second game the Cats
have held the opposition score
less, Columbus West bowling to
: the Wildcats two weeks ago,
14-0.
Mt. Vernon was only in the
game during the first quarter.
After that it was all Newark.
The Cats played a scoreless
first period, but counted in
each of the remaining three.
Newark tailed ID markers in
the first half and 20 in the fin
al half for their total of "a.
Once again it was the fine
Newark line that opened up
holes for the hard driving Wild
cat backs and stopped the Mt.
$Vernon attack in it's tracks. The
Yellow Jackets could gain only
81 yards by rushing while New
ark piled up yardage to extent
of 294. Mt. Vernon did gain 40
yards by passing to Newark's
2B, but it didn't do the Jackets
a bit of good.
With the Wildcats clearly out
slassing Mt. Vernon in every
phase of play, Coach Luther
Hanshue had a chance to sub
stitute freely. The subs more
than did their share. Little Jack
Bickel, second string back, made
several nice runs and connected
on several passes. Bob Winter
mute was outstanding among
the second string linemen. He
recovered two fumbles, one
which lead to touchdown,
blocked punt, and made sever
Aal nice tackles. 1t looks like
Newark has two teams to be
proud of, the first string and
the second string.
After a scoreless first period
the Wildcats pushed over two
touchdowns in the second quar-
ter. Newark recovered a tumble
on Mt. Vernon's 27. Art Walsh
and Max Davidson brought the
ball to the 14-yard line. James
Smith, speedy colored half
back, ran IA yards for a touch
down only not to have it count
because of a teammate offside.
But the Cats didn't give up.
Walsh drove to the one yard
line and then Max Davidson
\ cracked over for the score. Big

Wildcats Take Second Start
From Mt. Vernon by "a to 0 Score

Bill Craig booted the placement.
Newark came back like flash
and scored again. Eddie Allen
set the stage with a pretty 20
yard run around left end. David
son plunged over his second
touchdown. Craig again made
good his try for the extra point.
Newark lead at the half, IA to 0.
The Mt. Vernon beef trust was
taken to market in the second
half. Walsh set up the third
Newark touchdown with beau
tiful run of 26 yards in the third
quarter. Jim Smith then shot
through the Jackets for 80 and
a touchdown. Craig cody kicked
his third straight placement and
the third quarter was over.
The Cats counted another
touchdown as Wintermute block
ed a punt on Mt. Vernon's IL.
Allen took the ball to the one
and Winn bounced over for the
score. Jury kicked the extra
point. Little Bickle connected on
some passes and Newark was
once again on the verge of scor-
ing. Winn finally crashed over
for the final touchdown and
Jury missed a placement.
