WHY PATTERSON
FIGHTS WHISKY.
FORMER TENNESSEE GOVERNOR
TELLS OF CONVERSION TO
PROHIBITION.
Columbus, Ohio, November 12:?
Today's session of the Anti-Saloon
league's national convention was
designated as Governors' day, notwithstanding
the Governors present
were not to be heard from the platform
until the evening. The programme
for that period called for
addresses by Governors Hanna, of
North Dakota, and Hodges, of Kansas.
Former Governor xMalcolm R Patterson,
of Tennessee, was to be the
\ principal speaker at the afternoon
session.
? * ? J r* nru
Twice elected uuverriur ui xeunessee
as a "wet," Mr Patterson
came to Columbus in a special car,
accompanied by Governor Ben W
Hooper,who succeeded him as Tennessee's
Chief Executive, to give his
indorsement to a nation-wide programme
that would have for its aim
the entire elimination of the saloon.
Former Governor Patterson said,
in part:
"The Anti-Saloon league and I
have not always been friends. The
paths we traveled were wide apart.
They seemed so parallel that it looked
incredible that they should ever
meet. The path I traveled turned in
its course. It ran into the other and
now we find ourselves in the same
road marching in the same direction,
under the same flag,actuated by the
same desire to destroy the traffic in
liquor and redeem a nation from its
curse.
"I am aware that to have suddenly
changed the views of mature
manhood, which I once asserted and
proclaimed from one end of Tennessee
to the other, has excited surprise
and provoked comment. But
this is a world of change. Stagnation
is decay and progress is the
command of the age and the hope of
mortality. I am neither ashamed
nor abashed to stand before this
great audience and admit that I once
advocated policies which would have
made legal a trade which 1 have
come to look upon as b'.ving no
rightful place in the scheme and
economy of Christian civilization."
Commenting on one of his own
messages to the Tennessee Legislature,
in which he opposed further
legislation to regulate the saloon
traffic, Mr Patterson reiterated that
at that time those were his honest
convictions, based upon a misguided
judgment. He then continued:
"I say to you, fully conscious of
the meaning and responsibility of
the declaration, that if this message
has encouraged lawlessness or ever
been fought as a refuge for violators
of the law, if it had to stand as my
last expression on the liquor question,
I would consume it in the liv
ing fires and erase it iorever irom
the minds and memories of men.
"My life has had deep sorrows.
My soul has been tossed on the
waves of angry seas. My nature has
been profoundly touched and stirred.
"I have seen the trail of liquor in
the criminal courts where I have
prosecuted crime. I know, and
have been a participant in its paralyzing
and corroding influence in
the social and public life of our
national capital. As the Governor
of Tennessee I have seen it a veritable
and raging center of storm
around which gathered its defenders
and assailants, and from which
sprung divisions in parties, disputes
in faniles and dissensions in
churches.
"Going through life, I have seen
it drag down many of the associates
of my boyhood, blasting their hopes
and consigning them to untimely
graves. I have seen its forked
lightning strike my first born?the
child of my young manhood, and I
have b)rne with him the suffering
and tried to help him in his brave
but sometimes melanchely struggle
for redemption. At last 1 have felt
its foui and stealthy blow as it turned
upon me in its deadly and shaming
wrath?upon me who had pleaded
before the people for its very
existence. Men have called me
strong; and while I could see its
harm in others, I thought myself
immune, as thousands before my
time have thought, and suffered for
the thought.
"All this I knew and felt without
a revelation of the deep pathos and
meaning of it all. I needed help, for
I was groping and my feet were
stumbling in the dark.
"Wh.m logic and reason gave no
answer.I cast aside all pride of opinion,
all thought of what the world
might say or think, and went to the
throne of Almighty God. There, on
bended knees, I asked for light and
strength, and they came. The curtains
of the night parted and the
way was clear. I arose a changed
man.
"The saloon cannot produce one
veracious witness in its favor, as it1
ACTS ON THE LIVER.
Dodson's Liver Tone Livens Up the
Liver?Is More Than a Mere
Laxative.
Calomel was for years the only
known medicine that would stimulate
the liver. But calomel is often
dangerous, and people are not to be
blamed for being afraid of it.
Within the last few years many medicines
have been put out to be used
instead of calomel, but their effect
is on the bowels?not on the liver.
Dr W V Brockington says that the
only real liver medicine to actually
take the place of calomel is Dodson's
Liver Tone, a mild, harmless, vegetable
liquid that he recommended
to takp the nlaee of calomel
and which gives prompt relief in
cases of constipation, biliousness and
sluggish liver.
So confident is Dr W V Brockington
that he gives his personal guarantee
with every 50-cent bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone. You can be
sure that you are getting Dodson's
by asking at this store if they are
giving you the medicine they personally
guarantee to refund money
on if unsatisfactory.
