This rather personable impeacher, aged 38, comes from Cass County, in the northeastern corner of his State, where hillbillies corner their rabbits in hollow logs and take Levi Garrett snuff (between lower lip and teeth) with their politics. Like many of his neighbors, Congressman Patman is a "hard-shelled" Baptist, frowning upon music, dancing, cards. Two years in the Army made him an ardent American Legionary. A good rabble-rouser, with a quick twangy tongue, he served four years in the Texas Legislature, five years as a local district attorney. Elected to Congress in 1928, he refused to be suppressed...
...brothers were estranged, cinema-wise, over Slavery. Last week, 87 years having passed, they were reunited. In Washington, D.

The Governor reduced 150 prison sentences and closed his executive journal with clemency for a 'legger...
...life-saving idea came to Dr. Warren before the 1907 panic, while he held a Baptist pastorate in Manhattan. He preached a sermon against suicides in which he cried: "I wish that all who be lieve that death is the only solution to their problems would give me a chance to prove them wrong." Next day a dozen appeared for proof. Next day more. Fortunately he had sufficient money to surrender his pastorate, raise his daughter and two sons, and devote himself entirely to his Save-a-Life League. Cases which a country rest might cure he takes...
