A CHANCE FOR THS CANCER
PATIENT.
The modesty-of the- claims ad
vanced for the new treatment of
cancer discovered by Professor Bell
predisposes the layman in its favor.
Of 60 cases treated for three years,
Professor Bell believes that he has
cured four and benefited II by the
use of colloidal combinations of
lead. This sounds like the cautious
statement of a scientist, rather than
the reckless fabrication of a quack.
"Nevertheless, a percentage of
cures no higher than eight is sen
sational if, as we understand is the
fact, the cases treated by the Eng
lish physician were exclusively types
wTiich surgery could not hope to
save. One of the saddest duties of
the conscientious surgeon is that of
telling an appallingly great propor
tion of the victims of this scourge
who are brought to him that his
knife cannot help them. At present
that announcement is practically a
death sentence; but its gloom would
be wonderfully lightened if Bell
could demonstrate that there is still
a chance, even if the odds are twelve
and a half to one against the
patient. -
At the same time the announce
ment that perhaps eight in the hun
dred of non-operable cases may be
saved by the lead treatment will not
raise in the minds of the public
such false hopes that they will be
inclined to abandon the old stand-by
of early diagnosis and prompt
operation. Of those victims of can
cer whose ailment is recognized
early and who - are operated on
promptly, the surgeons can save a
great many more than eight per
cent It is therefore criminally neg
ligent to ignore this' easy and com
paratively sure treatment.
More than 90,000 persons died of
cancer in the United States last
year, and the death rate from that
disease has been steadily rising dur
ing the last quarter of a century.
These figures are sufficiently shock
ing as they stand; but what jnakes
them worse is the certainty that
many thousands 6f the dead need
not have died-had they been given
prompt treatment. Cancer is like
tuberculosis in that In its early
stages it can be cured; but, like tu
berculosis, it is claiming thousands
and tens of thousands of lives sim
ply because it is neglected in the
beginning and allowed to get out of
control before the surgeon is called
in.
CHICAGO AND ITS KLUCKERS.
Chicago takes it kluckers serious-
ly.kBoth ways.
Elements in the Windy city that
do not like the klan are themselves
organized, and they publish an offi
cial organ. This paper has printed
lists of names of prominent Chicago
people said to be affiliated with the
klan, and promises more. When his
name appeared in this list the pres
ident of one of the town's most im
portant banks was forced to resign.
A judge refuses to permit members
of the klan to serve as jurors in his
court you'd think any judge would
do that, if he knew they were
kluckers, unless he also was affiliat
ed, if one can conceive of a judge
being a Eu Klux. Another big bank
is losing business because some of
its 'directors and officers are sus
pected of klan affiliation, and busi
ness men known to be members are
being boycotted.
Chicago has more than a million
communicants of the Roman Cath
olic church, 125,000 or more Jews,
110,000 negroes and more foreign
than native born. These elements
produce the American Unity league,
and its organ says:
"The American Unity league be
lieves the public is entitled to know
the names of the men ' who have
taken the oath of allegiance to the
'Invisible Wizard.'
"Many of them are using every
effort to prosecute their fellow-
Americans who happen to be of the
Jewish race, the negro race, the
Catholic faith or foreign tongue.
Why any 100 per cent American
organization should wish to keep its
membership sesret and why true
patriots should exert every effort to
keep their affiliation with such an
organization secret is a question
that can have but one answer."
The organization insists that it
has virtually all the names of the
50,000 members of the Ku Klux in
Chicago, all of whom are to be dis
closed in due season. Whatever may
be said of the judgment of the klan
in tackling Chicago, its nerve has to
be admitted. Its opponents charge
that the 50,000 members were
pledged to defeat all non-member
candidates, and that there exists a
nation-wide conspiracy to drive
every Jew and Catholic from public
office. Such a pledge, however,
could not work very well in Chicago
where a, majority of the candidates
are either Jews or Catholics, and the
nearest effective protest that may
be made is not to vote at all.
Things being as they are, the in
visible empire has a fine prospect of
remaining invisible, in Chicago,'
RALEIGH HOLDS MEREDITH.
Dr. George W. Paschal, of Wake
Forest, has been agitating the con
solidation of Meredith and Wake
Forest colleges, or, rather, their co
ordination under one governing
authority. Dr. Paschal would have
the combined institution located at
Wake Forest. But, 'says Mr. Boat,
"if further removal than the Tucker
site (t Method) Is proposed every
body expects Raleigh to make
music"
The objection to locating- the
college at Method is that Method is
outside of the city of Raleigh, be
yond the reach of the city's fire and
police protection, and the campus on
one side runs down to the borders of
the state prison farm, so that if
there ever should be a wholesale jail
delivery Meredith would risk hrvTng
her campus over-run by a horde of
escaped convicts. This, obviously,
is not an ideal site for a women's
college; but the present site, in the
city itself, has long since been out
grown, and the city of Raleigh has
not seen fit to provide the college
rwith another. Indeed, the college
authorities have contracted to pay a
considerable sum some 160,000 we
believe for the site in the shadow
of the penitentiary.
Any other town In the state, of
course, would be delighted to pro
vide ,a site free, and Greensboro of
fered, not only the site, but $135,
000 in cash to help erect the new
buildings. But a large proportion
of the trustees of Meredith are citi
zens of Raleigh, and at the meeting
at which the Greensboro offer was
presented a majority of those pres
ent were citizens of Raleigh. Natur
ally they could hardly be expected
to vote to remove the college from
their own town, for a college like
Meredith brings several hundred
thousand dollars a year into the
town in which it is located. So no
proposal to remove the college far
ther than Method has even been
considered. At Method the college
will be outside of Raleigh, to be
sure, and therefore the city will be
under no compulsion to furnish it
nre and police protection, water
mains .and sewers; yet it will be
close enough for the Raleigh stores
to retain the students' patronage.
Pretty soft for Raleigh.
Dr. Paschal's proposal has the
same inherent weakness that defeat
ed Greensboro's, namely, that it ex
pects a Raleigh,board of trustees to
remove the school from the vicinity
of Raleigh, and in addition it pro
poses a venture in co-education. It
will hardly receive even honorable
mention.
PRISON LABOR AND PROFIT.
The city prison labor force will
be sent out to Reedy Fork to clear
off the creek bottom that is to be
the bed of the lake from which
Greensboro will in future receive its'
water supply, and after that it is in
dicsted that Greensboro will go out
of the convict labor business, main
ly, it is gathered, because this labor,
which costs no wage, does not pay.
Thereafter men deprived of their
liberty by the city court, and able
to work, will be delivered to the
county. Wonder if the county, if it
kept strict accounting as to costs
and results of its convict labor,
would reach a similar conclusion!
It would be a distinct advance if
the conclusion were to be reached
by all the authorities that prison
labor is not ''profitable.''' Then
there would be a more general con
sideration of the case of the delin
quent on its broad merits, of the
question how the forfeiture of his
time can be made profitable to so
ciety. Probably the only answer is,
by employing the forfeited time and
the power of the government with
sn eye single to the correction of
the delinquency, in every salvag
able case.
The delinquent of course should
be kept at labor; only so can he
work out his salvation where any
aegree ol reclamation is possible.
But perhaps there will come a time
when the form and condition of the
labor will be adapted carefully to
the effect on the convict, regardless
of other considerations, because
thereby it will be considered that
society will profit most.
The next Congress is to be asked
by the weather bureau for an ap
propriation to enable the . United
States to participate in an interna
tional weather bureau on Baffin
bay, in the Arctic circle. The theory
it that this is the home of winter,
the headquarters where general
weather, conditions are generated;
the station would broadcast by
radio observations of the trend or
air currents and barometric cur
rents to all parts of the world. We
favor the Baffin bay enterprise, but
Greensboro constituents should be
firm in insistence that their repre
sentative vote against the appropri
ation unless coupled with one for a
weather bureau here. That is the
way of practical politicians, who are
wiser In their day and generation
than the children of light.
A news account of an automobile
accident in which five girls narrowly
escaped death near Reidsville de
scribes all the occupants of a big
car "between the ages of 12 and 15
years." Isn't there a state law for
bidding the driving of automobiles
by minors under 16? We know there
ought to be. We think there is.
Speculation hath it that Newberry
will resign his senate seat rather
than run the gauntlet again. Well,
a good run is better than a bad
stand. But what would Secretary
Hughes advise!

stockholders and the local Merchants'
association, which was Instrumental
In collecting the required amount of
money to bring the club franchise
back to this city.
It Is possible that a meeting of the
stockholders will be called In the near
future for the purpose of mapping
out plans for the coming season, such
as the naming of a manager and the
seeking of additional funds.
While the franchise is an assured
thing for Greensboro, the club must
raise considerable more money in
order to take care of the expenses
Incurred In spring training. How
ever, this Is expected to be solved
when the new stockholders assemble
for meeting.
The election of a manager for the
