HON. m. R. Patterson
Democratic Nominee for Governor
Delivers Splendid Address to
People of Tennessee
Opening Speech at Nashville, Monday
Night, September II, 1906.
THE SPEECH IN FULL.

Ny Fellow itizens-As the accredited
nominee of the Democratic party for Gov
ernor, come to champion its cause, the
candidates it has named, and to present
reasons why it should continue in power
in Tennessee.
Now it is no longer question of choice
between men, of personal likes or antagA
onisms. These have all been settled by
convention of Democrats who commits
stoned me to represent the party. The reg
ularity and validity of my nomination is
unquestoned, there is no cloud upon my IL
tie as nominee, and as such have the right,
in the name of party usage and principle,
to ask and receive the support of every
Democrat in Tennessee | do not repre-
sent myself, but great party, committed
by its history and platform to use its high
est effort for the common good. If elected
| shall make no distinction between Demo
Gratis who were for me or against me in
the contest for nomination. Any Democrat
had the right to oppose me then, no Dem
ocrat has the right to oppose me now.
There is not the semblance of unkind
thought, no desire for retaliation, none to
prescribe those who did not support me-
NY sincere desire is to harmonic differ
ences, to wage an aggressive and effective
warfare against Republicanism, and to
build up party Of high purpose and lofty
ideals in the State, which will stand for
,itlasaGaod Of all and the harm Of none

PUBLIC ROADS.

Our public road system needs revision,
and should receive the earnest attention of
the next General Assembly.
Owing to varying conditions and the
marked differences in the physical confor-
nation of the State, uniform public road
tons has been found difficult of enactment.
Some plan, however, should be devised
which would simplify the road laws and
thereby avoid the constant changes and re-
peals which each Legislature feels called
upon to make Without now discussing
the reasons or entering into explanations,
! am inclined to the opinion that to let out

pacity, / want the support Of every loyal
Democrat in Tennessee, but if any are dis
loyal, ask them, in the name of the party,
to withhold the stab in secret, and come
from cover to the open, where they may
be seen and known. They have the right
to oppose me, but not in the guse of Dem
ocrats.
THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The platform of principles which the
Democratic party adopted in convention
contains its solemn pledges for better gov
eminent 1t is wise, progressive and meets
the just expectation Of the people. 1t con-
tains no idle platitude, no Wanting promise
made in insincerity for it is the solemn OBJ
legation of dominant party which has
been clothed with power by the people, and
expects in the future, as in the bast, to have
the responsibility Of Legislation
If abuses have existed in the State, if
there are evils to be corrected, and these
exist in some form and in every State, the
purpose of the Democratic party is to I'M
dertake the task of correction and bring re-
lief to the people If the Republican can
didate for Governor should undertake to
comment on criticisms made as candi-
date for the nomination, upon abuses
which were attacked and reforms which
were urged, he will have the disconsolation
Of knowing that the Democratic party has
proposed to set its own household in order, |
and has gone about it without the aid of
Mr.. Evans, and without the consent of the
party he represents. He will further know
that the Democratic party Of Tennessee is
progressive and not subservient, that it en-
courages free thought and speech, that it |
has virility and honesty, and that the people
who give it allegiance in great part own
the values, pay the taxes build the
churches, maintain the schools and repre-
sent three-fourths of the wealth and inteli
gence Of the State. And he will further
understand that whatever mistakes have
been made, the Democratic masses do not
propose as an expiation of any sin of omis
sion or commission to make the unholy and
vicarious sacrifice of electing Mr.. Evans
as the Governor of Tennessee. If it ever
becomes necessary for the party to repent,
it viii bring forth fruit meet for repent
ance at its own altar, by its own hreside
and the services of this high priest Of Re
publicanism will neither be expected nor
needed for complete absolution
Within the limits of reasonable discus
sion cannot do more than mention with
approval those declarations of the platform
relating to the reduction Of useless Offices,
game and forest laws, assurances laws and
free transportation to public officials. They
deserve and will receive consideration at ;
another time.

George Buchanan was scholar, his
torian, controversialist and the best
Latin poet of his age. Buchanan was
tutor to Mary, queen of Scots, and to
her son James, afterward James 1. Of
England. One day he caused himself
to be made king Of Scotland, and this
was the way of it: Having observed in
James a tendency to too ready acqpi-
escence, he drew up paper for the
royal pupil to sign. James did SO at
once without having read it. The doc
ument happened to be a transferred the
royal authority to Buchanan for fifteen
days, and no sooner had the poet gotlit
into his possession than he began to
play the monarch, even before the king
himself. James thought the man a lu-
matte until the instrument was pro
duced by which he had signed away
his sovereignty. This incident was
used by the worthy preceptor to illus
trate the days lesson on the RESPONSE
bilities of monarchs. --- '-a.

Ugly Athenian Coins.

1t is little surprising that the. Atheni-

fectation Of archaism. The Attic draeh-

Plutarch In his "Lysander" tells an
amusing tale how Glippus had been
sent to Sparta with a great sum Of
money as bride and how he unripped
the bottoms of the sacks and stole
large sums, sewing up the sacks again,
not knowing that there was writing
in each sack saying how much coin 1t
held. On coming to Sparta he hid his
plumber under the tiles Of his house,
showing the Ephors the unbroken seals
on the mouths Of the sacks. When the
Ephors opened these they were In
great perplexity, but Glippus' servant
betrayed him, saying ''that under the
tiles roasted the OWLS" The consterna-
ton was great. GNppus fed, and the
stern Spartans declared that for the
future they would use iron coinage
made redhot and quenched in vinegar
to make 1t hard and unpliable. In the
laws of Scion, 600 B. c., the punish
ment of death Is recorded against f0rg-
ing the coinage.

Eskimo Throwing Sticks.

A throwing stick" throwing
board" or "spear thrower," as it Is
sometimes called, is a contrivance for
casting a javelin or harpoon, which is
employed by various savage races,
such as the Australians, some South
American tribes and especially by the
Eskimos, among whom its use is al
most universal. Roughly speaking, it
IS narrow grooved board foot or so
long, with one end cut into handle
and the other provided with stud or
spur for the butt of the spear to rest
against. 1t is used thus: Grasping the
handle as he would a sword, the man
fits the shaft of the spear into the
groove, with the butt resting against
the stud, steadying the spear with the
finger. Then, extending his arm and
bending back his hand till the spear
lies horizontal, he aims at the mark
and propels the weapon by a quick
forward jerk of the stick In this way
1 have seen Eskimo boys casting their
forked javelins at wounded waterfowl.

First of all, one thing that nature
won't stand is irregularity. We cannot
safely bottle up sleep tonight for to-

to make it up later.
Nature does nothing before her ap-
pointed time, and any attempt to hurry
her Invariably means ultimate disaster.
She takes note Of all our transactions,
physical, mental and moral, and places
every item to our credit. -.-t e.. :
There Is no such thing as cheating ma
ture. She may not present her bill on
the day we violate her law, but If we
overdraw our account at her bank and
give her mortgage on our minds and
bodies she will surely foreclose. She
may lend us all we want today, but
tomorrow, like Shylock, she will de-
mand the last ounce of flesh. Nature
does not excuse man for weakness, In
competence or ignorance. She demands
that he be at the top Of his condition
