No state has yet attempted by law
to prescribe the manner Of dress fog
the people, but it would be competent
for the state to provide by law that
the goods should be properly marked
SO as to prevent imposition.
No state has attempted to force the
people not to use certain kinds of med

can, and ought to have all medicines
properly labeled so as to prevent all

All such meddling and veeatidus
laws ceased in England with the
growth of constitutional government.
and when the rights of man were firm
ly established upon the basis of indiI-

They passed in our country when in

prohibitory laws relating to drink, to

The claim is made that the use of Ii

EVENING CHIT-CHAT
By Ruth Cameron

How can you let Marion go so far
away?" l asked when Marion's moth
er told me with pride that her daughter
had accepted a position in a school
two thousand miles away.
Il want her to-" said this very wise
woman. Il want her TO go far enough
away so that she will have to sew on
her own buttons and make her own
decisions" ,-.
From the schools and colleges all
over the country thousands Of girls
were graduated during the last month.
And in thousands of homes all over
the country the question promptly
arise, What is this girl to do next
In far too many of these homes were
mothers who complicated the question
by the wall, Il can't let my girl g. far
away from home. She wouldn't know
how to look out for herself 1 want
her to always be near enough to come
to us in any trouble"
To want to utter such a plant Is
natural and more or less excusable.
To utter it is absolutely weak.
If you need your daughter, that is
one thing. l am not pleading for the
girl who will leave a mother who is
alone or sick or in any way needs
her. I have no use for such a girl.
But if you simply want to keep your
daughter needing you, that is quite an
other thing. BY SO doing you are

GOVERNOR PATTERSON .
AGAINST PROHIBITION
Issues Solemn Warning to the Tennes
see State eeisiaturetShows
Manifold Evils of Proposed
Measure.

Governor Malcolm r. Patterson, of
Tennessee. during the last session of
the Legislature, sent a message strong
ly condemning prohibition to both
houses of the general assembly. which
had passed a statewide prohibition
bill. The substance of the message
follows:
Prohibition is fundamentally and
profoundly wrong as a governmental
policy, and in country where the
largest measure of freedom of action
is accorded the Individual, it becomes
intolerable.
For state, through its lawmakins
power, to attempt to control what the
people shall eat and drink and wear
except to see that they are protected
from imposition-is tyranny and not
liberty.
No state has yet attempted to forbid
what man should eat, but pure food
laws are necessary to see that what he
eats Is not adulterated or misbrandea
and that he obtains what he wants
"ithout substitution or deceit by the
uAsiloheSt MANUFACTURED or dealer.

the world without selfsufficiency and
selfreliance.
If you could buy selfreliance for your
girl you would do we'll to save and
scrimp and deny yourself and her
many Injuries in order to present her
with a goodly stock
But you cannot. Not even if you
are twenty times a millionaire-per-
haps less easily then.
There + is but one way for a girl to
win selfreliance. and that is to rely
on herself.
Of course it isn't necessary to put a
thousand miles between yourself and
your daughter to teach her seifreliance.
But standing in her way when she has
the courage to strike out into a new
field is a pretty good way to keep her
from learning it.
The mother who will not let her
daughter go away to college, who rs
unwilling the college graduate should
accept the excellent opportunity in a
distant field or who insists that the
bride shall live with her or in the house
around the corner, where if the jelly
doesn't jell or John and his new wife
quarrel, she may seek refuge or ad-
vice at home, is g. selfish mother
The bird mother or the wise human
mother tumbles the oVer-timid f1edg-
lings out of the nest.
The foolish human mother tries to
keep even the Venturesome birdie
cramped up in the nest.

cation-a virtue that grows more val
liable all the time.
A busy child, like an older person, is
a happy one. Observation will show
that the youngster who Whines and is
miserable either really has nothing to
do, or having a task, pleasant or other
wise, is not obliged to do it. There
will be not the least difficulty in get

ment if she or he is given disciplinary

spoken of says this she is given an ex-
ira spelling lesson or something Of the
kind that requires real work on her
part. She is seldom heard to make the
plant of having nothing, because she
prefers to provide pleasant diversions
rather than developing ones that will
be set by her mother or nurse at the
first indication of whining.
Beside the good that is actually done
to the child by teaching her to be re-
sourceful in amusing herself, the moth
er is left more freedom to attend to
other matters, and the two meet after
a little time, each fresher for the hour
or more they have been apart, each
busy in her own way.

openly or secretly-to have it under
the control and sanction of the law, or
whether it should be outlawed to live
and thrive beyond control.
In my opinion the choice which Is
logically and inevitably presented is
between regulation and control by law
of the liquor traffic, and secret or open
violation of the law.
It is the choice between openness
and evasion, between fairness and
hypocrisy, between real temptation ana
it's counterfeit.
Any law that will not be respected
and can net be enforced ought not to
be placed upon the statute books.

While having great respect for this
people, 1 am still convinced that any
attempt by legislation to abolish the
manufacturer and sale of liqu0- is
abortive in that it does not accom-
plish the results hoped for, and
again that it violates the plainest and
most obvious rule of individual action
and personal freedom.
Where Will 1t End.
If we can legislate against the man
ufacture and sale of liquor, because it
often produces crime and frequently
becomes hurtful to the individual and
society, can we not also legiSlate
against the manufacture and sale of
tobacco, O. poisonous drugs, and if we
begin such legislation, where is it to
end?
Shall we prohibit the manufacture
and sale of liquor to all the people, be-
cause some, by reason of intemperance
use, ruin themselves.
Shall we so legislate that man who
uses it moderately and without injury
to himself or others, shall be wholly
deprived of its use, because another
uses it immoderately?
Shall the sick not use if the physi-
clan prescribes it, because some who
are we'll abuse it?
Shall it's manufacture and sale be
wholly forbidden by law without re-
gard to its proper use or abuse?
To do so is both unwise and de-
! structive
The use or nonuse of liquor should
be left to the Individual
In my conception of popular govern
ment and the relation of the individual
to society, it is just as much an inva-
sion of personal liberty to attempt bv
law to forbid its use as it is by law to
forbid the use of anything else
Characta' in the individual is not
,, made by prohibition or the withdraw
ing of temptation. The scheme of God
in the redemption of man has not been
,, to take from him temptation, but to
leave him free to resist, and as he
resists, so will he his reward
Shall We destroy property to make
! men honest
Shall We abolish the manufacture. of
gunpowder because men sometimes
use it to murder their fellow men?
Can we make men virtuous by law,
or is it only through education, Chris
tian influence and the growth of intel
| ligence, consciousness and responsible.
, ity in man himself?
The answer is but one, and that is
| that man must work out his own des-
tiny under human law, as he must his
own salvation under divine law.
The commandments of God forbid
the doing of certain things, but his
creatures have the election to keep or
break these commandments.
Reward comes to those who observe
them and punishments to those who
do not
In the scheme of human government
man may make laws which forbid, and
he may be punished if he breaks those
laws, but to remove temptation by

practice.

people who are not informed on the
subject, who suppose that if this state
should pass a prohibition law, this

would of itself stop the use of liquor,
and if this class were always treated
fairly by those who, for personal or
political reasons, use their Ignorance
and intense devotion to cause foe'
selfish ends, then the question could,
and would, be solved as becomes ra-
tional men controlled by reason and
patriotism, rather than by hysteria
and blind malignant partisanship.
The state is one of number Of
states, and not one can legislate con-
trary to the constitution of the United
States or the Interpretation which he
courts have made of that instrument.
The state can by law forbid the
manufacture and sale of liquor within
her borders, but the state can not pre-
vent it's manufacture or sale in any
other state, nor can it prevent the
shipment of liquor in unlimited guam
titles from any other state into the
state Of Tennessee.
Under the interstate commerce clause
of the constitution of the United
States, and its Interpretation by the
courts, liquor is recognized as COM
modify Of trade just as -four cloth
ing, shoes or any other. article.
The state is as powerless to prevent
CHI INN ant Of i'm To hn
Tennessee as it is to prevent the ship
ment Of any Other commodity which
may enter into interstate trade.
1t follows therefore that, until the
United States government itself for
bids the manufacture and sale of Ii
quor, or refuses to allow it's shipment
to a state, it is not possible to have
a prohibition law Those who claim
She contrary either do not know better
CT, knowing better, deceive the people.
Only Real Remedy.
Under the conditions I have just
named, it IS a misnomer to call a law
passed by the state seeking to abolish
the manufacture and sale of liquor a
prohibition law. The only law the
state could enact, which could proper
ly be called a prohibition law, or that
could possibly reach the end said to
be desired, namely, to prevent the use
of liquor, would be one which would
make the use a crime.
If such a law should be proposed,
however absurd it might be, it would
bring the question up directly to the
people, and it would then be seen how
much of sincerity or hypocrisy was
abolish the manufacture and sale of
liquor in our own state, while the poo
pie are left free to get all they want
and drink as much as they please
from other states.
I would no more recommend the
passage of law to make it crime
for man to use liquor, than 1 would
fecommend the passage of law to
abolish it's manufacture and sale. Both
are absurd. but of the two, the first
would be more sipcere and probably
more effective in preventing the con-
sumption of liquor.
A law to prevent the manufacture
and sale of liquor in the state can have
no no fr,l
send from Tennessee to other states
all the money the people now spend
for liqud', and would nowise prevent
the use of liquor, which is the end de-
sired by such law, or it has no legi-
innate purpose at all.
Confiscation.
Aside from the reasons l have here
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-07-12

vent the manufacture and sale of Ii
ouor should not be passed, there are
orne.. considerations which involve the
attitude of the state toward her citi-
zens who are engaged in this business.
The manufacturers of beer and Ii
quor have invested large sums of
money at the invitation of the state
and pay the taxes required by her
laws.
An act to destroy the value Of their
plants would be confiscation and with
out compensation of any sort.
If an individual should apply a
torch and but-n property to the ground,
he could be held responsible both
civilly and criminally for his act.
If the state applies the torch of
statutory conf1scation there is no rem
edy, for the state is sovereign and has
the power to- destroy.
But with the power and with no re-
dress by the individual, should not the
state be slow to apply the torch? And
if it does in the exercise of it's SOW
ereignty, should it not compensate the
citizen for his loss?
In my opinion no state should ex-
ercise the power to deprive the citi-
zen of the use of his property, or to
destroy business it has made legiti-
mate, without just and reasonable
compensation, and the fact that the
state has the power can not, and
ought not to, change the attitude Of
the sovereignty from the protector to
the punisher of it's people.

Open Saloons or Illicit Sellers.


1t is often intolerantly urged that al
who are opposed to State wide PROM
bition, so called, are in league witt
the saloon and the abuses which ar
often connected Herewith,
1t is just as fair to chatge all Wht
are in favor of prohibition to be il
favor of the secret dive or the boot
logger who plies his trade in unfre'
quented places. for when the legal sa
looms are gone the illegal sellers be-
gin.
The theory upon which the lega
sale of liruor is to be forbidden BY
law is based upon the false promise
that the sale of liquor can be abol'
ished by law
The very opposite is true, az fG in
variably shown by the state where
prohibition prevails, and even in To-
calities where it prevails by consen,
OF the people.
Maine has had a prohibition law foi
over so years, and is VIGOROUSLY
filled with both open and secret viola
tions of law.
The same is true of Alabama and
Georgia and of every state where pro-
hibition prevails
If reason and experience are worth
anything In dealing with the liquor
question, We can assume the very op-
posite for which the average prohibit
ZIONIST contends. and that is, that the
adjustment of the sale of liquor by
law is an impossibility-an empty
dream. Like the social evil, which ex-
lists in spite of stringent laws to Grad
icate it. so will the selling of liquor
go on in spite of prohibition laws.
With the knowledge that liquor can
be bought and hipped from other
