Profound Impression Made By Gov.
Patterson in His Address Here;
Says Liquor Doomed in America
Eloquent- Tennesseean Holds
Great Augusta Audience Spell-
Bound As He Pictured Predict

This Country
SAYS LIQUOR MEN HAVE NO
RESPECT FOR THE LAWS
“Pernicious Political Activity
of LiquQr Interests” Referred
to By Dr. Bain---Gov. Patter
son Says Will Be Nation-Wide
Prohibition in 10 Years or
Less.
One of the most significant meetings
ever held in Augusta occurred at St.
John church last night when Dr. A. C.
Bain, financial secretary of the Anti
saloon League of America, and ex-
Governor 11. R. Patterson, of Tennes
see, spoke to an audience which pack
ed the splendid edifice. As Rev. S.
P. Wiggins, pastor of St. John church,
said in introducing the speakers, the
meeting would prove epochal in Au
gusta, and, Judging from the intense
interest with which the speakers were
listened to and the very apparent
sympathy with which their utterances
were received, the meeting will prove
epochal in Augusta’s history. And
yet, there was not a single allusion to
local conditions. There was no criti
cism of the manner in which Augusta
handles the liquor problem—or fails to
handle it—for the meeting was on
broader lines. /
It is doubtful if a more representa
tive audience of Augusta men and
women ever gathered for any purpose
in this city. The speakers had been
advertised well in advance of theit
coming and it seemed that every one
had made plans to attend. Many were
unable to get seats.
Dr. Bain spoke first, after there had
been songs by the congregation led by
the St. John choir.-' He spoke briefly
of the work of the Anti-Saloon League
of America, of its accomplishments
during the past few years and said
that it was only a question of a short
time before there would be a national
prohibition amendment. Dr. Bain said
that of the votes cast for the Hobson
amendment a great majority came
from the delegation from the Southern
states. He said that Georgia had eight
congressmen who voted for the amend
ment to be submitted to the people,
three voted against and one did not
vote at alt. The speaker suggested
that the voters remember the repre
sentatives who voted on the amend
ment at the polls the next time they of
fer, for those who did not favor al
lowing the people to vote on this great
question should be defeated for re
election and those who voted for it
would need the help of the people to

"Pernicious Political Activity.”
The speaker spoke of the "pernic
ious political activity” of the liquor
men everywhere and at all times and of
their efforts to brow-beat and intimi
date legislators elected to represent the
people. Dr. Bain had the ushers dis
tribute cards and offerings were asked
to help carry on the Anti-Saloon Dea
gue work in Georgia and America. One-
Ualf of the proceeds of what avas de
rived from last night's meeting will
go to the Georgia Anti-Saloon League
and the other half to the national or
ganization. To combat the liquor
traffic, Dr. Bain said that money is
needed and must be had. There is
one publishing house in Ohio, working
over 180 men. novy turning out Anti-
Saloon League literature for 24 hours
in the day and more such plants are
needed, according to Dr. Bain, for he
said the liquor men could not stand the
light of publicity, that Maine had voted
for prohibition because the state had
been sown with prohibition literature.
A large sum was realized bjr Dr. Bain.
The real event of the meeting was
the address by ex-Governor Patter
son. He spoke for about an hour and
the hundreds present listened to him
with almost breathless attention, hang
ing on to his every word and syllable.
It seemed that the audience did not
know whether to applaud or not. There
was a commingling of applause and
"amens" from all over the house as
the renowned Tennesseean spoke of
the evils of the sale of alcoholic drinks.
Governor Patterson's address was in
terspersed with a number of humorous
stories which convulsed the people with
laughter. He spoke eloquently, ably
and, as he himself stated, with sincer
ity ’of purpose.
No Bitter Characterization.
There was no bitter characterization
of thw liquor men themselves. For
them he had no harsh words, hut pre
sented, in the light of facts, the argu
ment that the liquor traffic should be
driven out of America. He predicted
that within ten years there woftld he a
.national prohibition constitutional
amendment. The governor said that
he had changed his front on the liquor
question that he had been a local op
tion man and had promised the people
of Tennessee that if the legislature
passed a prohibition law ho would veto
It. which he did, but it was passed
over his veto. He said that after he
had a friend of the liquor men for
years, after he had fought local option
battles, etc., he saw a great light, he
became a convert to prohibition and
now he is trying to do all that he can
to drive whiskey out.
The governor said that liquor men
have no respect for law and that when
one Is i assed against their interests
they immediately hire the best lawyers
to show them how to evade it. He said
that any man who drinks liquor at all
drinks too much, that he himself had
drunk the stuff, hut that he had not
touched a drop since he became a pro
hibitionist
He said that the whiskey crowd
maintains a powerful lobby in Wash
ington to defeat any prohibition
movements there. *
He predicted that the day of doom
for liquor is Just ahead. He said that
the greatest country on earth, the most
civilized nation beneath the stars
would drive out liquor and that no one
knew any better that the day of doom
was coming for. liquor than the liquor
men themselves.
The Hobson Amedment.
Referring to the recent vote on the
Hobson-Shepherd resolution in con
gress the governor said:
’’The recent discussion on the floor
of congress by the opponents of the
Hobson-Shepherd resolution Illustrates
how a great public question may be
confused and obscured. One would
suppose that the issues were whether
prohibit!' n itself was advisable or that
the reserved righta of states were in
volved, whereas the real and only Is
sue was whether a constitutional
amendrrjent should be submitted for the
ratification or rejection by the states
to prohibit the traffic In liquor. Fair
and Intelligent discussion would not
have confused this issue with the ad
dition of foreign and extrinsic matter.
“Whether prohibition was right or
wrong. In the mind of any congress
man. was not pertinent to the question
of the submission of an amendment to
the Constitution for while any con
gressman Is entitled to his opinion on
this subject, yet congress Itself was
not asked to legislate or to take any
action whatsoever for or against pro
hibition: hut Its exercise of power be
gan and ended with the submission of
th> whole matter to the people of the
states In the form and manner pointed
out by the Constitution Itself. Mani
festly to have submitted the amend
ment would be to protect and assert
the rights of states and to refuse a
submission was a denial of these
rights, and under the circumstances,
an inexcusable and flagrant denial
“The states’ . ights argument was a
mere subterfuge. It had no applica
tion and served no purpose other than
to divert public attention from the re
sponsibility of congress to a plain, un
ambiguous proposition. The open and
avowed hostility of Mr. Underwood to
the principle of prohibition may ex
plain the infirmity pf his reasoning:
but the members of congress who pro
fessed to believe in the principle, did
not have even this'exeuse for denying
a guaranteed right of the people to
change or amend their organic law.
"If the argument of states* rights
was in any way pertinent, it was whol
ly misapplied, for, as the matter now
stands, the national government is
habitually denying the right of the
states to make prohibition laws passed
by them effective. While the Webb-
Kenyon bill is an aid, it is by no
means an efficient exercise of federal
power on this subject, and it is noto
rious that under the Inter-state Com
merce clause of the Constitution, states
have not been able to protect them
selves afer voting to outlaw the liquor
traffic from their boundaries.
“Again, the government licenses and
collects revenue from liquor dealers in
prohibition states, thus encouraging
by its act state violation of law; and,
in so doing, the right of the state to
protect itself from what it conceives to
be a criminal business is weakened and
often made nugatory, and its sover
eignty denied.
"It would be rather difficult to fol
low the reasoning of men who would
in the same breath say that a mere
submission of an amendment to the
people was a violation of the rights of
states, and at the same time uphold
the action of government licensing li
quor dealers in those states which have
declared against their business. Any
fair or just statement oUthe case or
Interpretation of the Arrvw’an Consti
tution as it relates to amendments or
he reserved rights of the states, must
make ft perfectly plain that to refuse
submission of this particular amend
ment was to deny a right of the state,
and to submit it was to protect and as
sert that right.
The Constitution.
“Article five of the Constitution pro
vides;
“ ’The congress, whenever two-thirds
of both houses shall be necessary, shall
propose amendment to this Constitu
tion, or on the application of the legis
lature of two-thirds of the several
states, shall call a convention for pro
posing amendments, which in either
case shall ho valid to all Intents and
purposes as part of this Constitution
when ratified by the legislatures of
three-fourths of the several states, or
by conventions In three-fourths there
of, as the one 'V the other mode of rati
fication may be proposed by the con
gress, provided that no amendment
which may be made prior to the year
one thousand eight hundred and eight
shall in any manner affect the first
and fourth clauses in the ninth section
of the first article and that no, state
without its consent Hhall be deprived
of its equal suffrage in the senate.’
“Referring to Article Five. Mr. Coo
ley in his work on Constitutional Law
says:
“ ’ln the adoption of the Constitution
provision was made for amendments
to he made under regular forms which
should not only give the people an
easy method of removing any evils
that might be found to exist in their
institution, and of keeping them in
sympathy with the prevailing senti
ments and desires of the people, but
should take away all reasonable ex
cuse for attempts at revolution by
force.’
“ ’The only restriction,’ says Mr.
C oley, ‘imposed on the power to
amend’ is this, that no state without
its consent, shall be deprived of Its
equal suffrage in the senate.' He again
says:
“ ‘But It Is not in the nature of in
stitutions to remain stationary, how
ever they may be formulated and de
clared, especially when the government
has within itself the power to deter
mine its own Jurisdiction and to solve
in Its own favor and discretion all
questions of disputed authority.’
“In speaking of amendments to the
Constitution Mr. Cooley observes:

Power of Amedments.
"By the Constitution under which
we live and have ratified and accepted
as a people, the power of amending has
been given to the legislature of three
fourths of the states of the Union, and
state sovereignty is subject always to
this power, and when ever it is exer
cised no state lias the right to com
plain as constituent member of the
union of states.
“The Hobson-Shepherd resolution
does not propose any innovation of
government, anything new or strange;
but it follows strictly the authority
and provisions of the Constitution, and
when ever it is submitted in the man
ner and form therein prescribed, and
three-fourths of the states ratify It,
no single state will lose any right it
ever had; for no state can have any
right under the American Constitu
tion against the will of three-fourths
of the states of the Union. The states
themselves have delegated this power
to the federal government; and for any
representative of the people to raise
the question of states’ rights when an
orderly amendment is proposed in con
formity with the provisions of the Con
stitution itself, is either to deceive
himself or to deliberately deceive the
American people.,
"But the people will not be deceived.
They know instinctively the falsity of
the specious defense of the liquor traf
fic under the guise of states’ rights
“They have determined that this
business shall no longer live under the
forms and protection of law,
"They demand that their government
shall no longer be a promoter of pub
lic and private iniquity or a partici
pator in the guilty fruits of crime.
"If Russia facing the greatest crisis
of its career can prohibit the manu
facture and sale of its national drink,
and cut off twenty-five per cent of its
revenue, the American people will de
mand to know' why at a time of pro
found peace, the richest and ffreatest
Christian nation of the world shall not
have the right to decide Its own policy
towards a traffic which civilization and
enllghtment so overwhelmingly con
demns.
“Failure to submit this question In
the only way it can tie submitted is to
deny the capacity of the people for
self-government, and to set up the
tyranny of congressional action.
"The fight which the people are
waging for their own redemption will
never end until the land is purged of
its Cardinal Sin.
"Recusant representatives in con
gress may delay—they cannot prevent
the consumation.”
PICKINGS FROM “PIC”
By A. DAVISSON
Mr. W. P. Hubbard, In his eighty
third year, father of Capt. W. W. Hub
bard, Is still eager for work as car
penter. Mr. Hubbard of course re
members when Harlem was a suburb
of Sawdust. And hence discreet Har
lemites indulge in no gibes about Haw
dust, now positions are reversed. Mr.
Hubbard was working on the train
that conveyed Hie first Confederate
soldiers "westward” in the war. He
worked for the Southern government
on the road some years, and has al
ways led an active, industrious life.
Pic showed a full train last night,
there being about sixty aboard, and
bundles galore. The commuters aro
good buyers. One gentleman shows
tiy ch«~ck account about SIBO spent in
Augusta in December. He usually
spends fifty to seventy-five dollars
here a month. In talking it over he
concludes he may have to say* some
thing to his merchants about the value
of the Pic trade to Augusta merchants.
Ordinary Mundy of Columbia coun
ty is a visitor to the city today.
A young fellow I met on the train
last night proposes to solve the ques
tion of his career by Joining the navy.
He seems to have thought It out care
fully—in fact lias stood an examina
tion—and goes today to Atlanta to
complete arrangements. This young
man is acting wisely. To a young man
who wants to make the most of his
life, especially In these days of sharp
business competition, entering the
navy gives cliasce for a successful
life. Seeing the world, lemming his
tory, forming good habits, saving mon
ey and getting wholesome discipline
are among the advantages of such a
course.
Two little fellows overhearing the
navy hoy's talk concluded they would
rather stay home now, being eight and
ten, for they had Just come Into pos

they want to see grow immediately
