erence to Gov. Patterson: "Gov. Pat

resolute chief executive, who has very
closely studied the duties of his office
and the interests of the state that come
under his official supervision. Noman
that has held the office of Governor of
Tennessee has been more severely as
sailed by political opponents, and no
man has more courageously and strong

himself one of the most formidable and
resourceful men in public debate and
in every case has maintained himself
in discussion with his rivals to the
eminent satisfaction of his supporters.
His administration of the Governors

CRIMINAL LAW
AMENDMENTS
ARE NEEDED.
STOP CRIME,
KEEP PEACE.
W[MTLHU lN 1IRIE LHW.
Suggestions Made by Judge C. J,
St. John for Attention of Next
Legislature in Tennessee
WEAK PLACE IN STATE LAW.

Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. 14.-Judge c.
]. st. John, of Bristol, who is in the
city on legal business, speaks of many
needed reforms of the criminal laws to
stop crime that should be taken up by
the next legislature,
at seems" said Judge st. John,
"that crime is increasing and there is
weak place in our laws that should
be remedied. In the first place, it should
be made felony for man to threaten
to take another mans life. While we
have law on the statute books that
when another man makes threat,
can go before justice Of the peace and
swear out state warrant for him 10
keep the peace and have him bound to
keep the peace, but very few men in
this country wish to admit that they
are afraid of their fellow man. But if
there was an act making it felony to
threaten mans life there would be
less shooting and less men arming
themselves to shoot each other when
they meet.
"Another law the next legislature
should take some steps in its pistol car

Connecting Gov. Patterson With
Killing of ex-senator Car
mack in Nashville

Anybody knowing Malcolm r. Pat
terson knows that he has stood for law
and order in this state,
The brutal attack made on him be-
cause of the terrible tragedy which re-
suited in the death of Senator Carmack
is unfair and unjust and without cauae.
Any sinsible person should know that
Gov. Patterson would be the last man
in the state to condone, to justify or 10
excuse crime.
Gov. Patterson and Senator CarmacS
engaged in series of joint debates dur
ing the recent campaign. Each was
man of high temper; each controlled
his temper, and each probably ended
these debates having higher respect
for the other than he did when they
held the first meeting in Chattanooga.
The causes leading to the tragedy
were not of Gov. Patterson's making.
His last effort on the day of the trage-
dy was an effort for peace,
He is governor of a great state. He
has never done any act, as governor,
unworthy of that high Office, and as an
official he has so conducted himself be-
fore these people as TO command their
respect. His position as governor
makes it impossible for him to resent
the attacks that may be made upon his
personal character.
In the name of fairness and decency
he should not be made the victim of
accusations having not a scintilla of
foundation to warrant them.
Those people in Memphis who have
known Gov. Patterson from his boy
hood know that he would not directly
or indirectly seek, through another, to
do an injury TO an adversary.
The innate sense of right that is in
every honest mans breast whether he
be political or personal friend or foe of
Gov. Patterson, will cause him to re-
sent the unjustifiable attack made upon
his character in an editorial printed in
the News-Scimitar.
1t was a slanderous attack upon the
chief ruler of Tennessee aud an insult
to the people who elected him and to
fair-minded men who supported his
adversary in the recent campaign.
Such editorial attacks as that made
on Gov. Patterson are so monstrously
unfair as TO shock the civilized con-
scence.-Commercial-Appeal.

RALLY DAY FOR STATE WIDE
Sunday Schools Will So Observe
Worlds Temperance Sunday,
November 10Th, 1908.

The Tennessee Anti-Saloon League is
asking all the Sunday-schools of the
state to observe Worlds Temperance
Sunday, November 20, as State Wide
Prohibition Day. An appropriate pro-
gram has been prepared and thousands
of copies have been mailed out to Sun
day-school superintendents over the
state. In view of the fight for state
wide prohibition to be made in the
next legislature, it seems that the day
could not be better observed than by
enlisting the cooperation of the Sunday
school hosts of the state in this great
movement for God and humanity. 1t
is hoped that every superintendent will
enter heartily into the plan.
The league is making an earnest ef-
fort to reach them all, but owing to
incomplete and inaccurate records this
will, of course, be impossible. Any
school, however, that has not received
copies of the program will be promptly
supplied without cost by writing Ten
nessee Anti-Saloon League, 81 Chamber
ofCommerce Building, Nashville, Tenn.
In its fight for statewide prohibition
the league earnestly requests the coop
GRAFTON of every individual and organi-
zation that desires the overthrow Of the
greatest enemy of the church, the Sun
day-school, the home, and of every
thing that is good. Its battle cry is
" A clean sweep of the liquor traffic
from Tennessee by the legislature OF
19O9," and the good people of the state
are urged to rally as one man to this
inspiring call.

"The right to appeal cases of high
crime is too great, and the law should
be amended as in Virginia, where they
