Would Prove a Lemon.
Salem Times-Register:

Salem Times-Register:
Our Roanoke contemporary,
the Evening News, feels that it
can never be happy, that the
moral and religious tone of the
city can never be elevated to the
high plane upon which it should
be, until it can secure for that
city the substituting efforts of
the Rev. BILLY" Sunday, the
converted baseball player, the
man who breaches sermonn in
the same language that the pro-
fessional baseball reporter dishes
out his dope" the man who
saves souls at so much per. We
are willing to bet dollars to
doughnuts that if it gets him it
will draw a lemon. Wonderful
reports are sent out from the
cities in which the Rev. Billy"
holds forth concerning the re-
markable results in the saving
of souls that attend his exhort-
ing, which leads to the inference
that the Rev. Billy" is also
some press agent. But we donot
believe that the Almighty never
intended that souls should be
saved by such methods as this
perfervid evangelist employs.
We cannot believe that to bring
the word of God into contempt
by such distortion and gutter
sniping Interpretation as Sunday
employs can accomplish any last
ing good, and the history of
souls saved by such methods is
that they almost invariably fail
to stay saved. The great apostle
Paul took pride in his ability to
make himself all things to all
men that by all means he might
save some" but we are persuad-
ed that if he could have forseen
that in nineteen hundred years
his words would be made the
excuse for such efforts as Sun
days, he would have been more
careful of his speech.

Ex-Governor Patterson's
Conversion.


Danville Register
The press of Tennessee and of
other section has been greatly
interested in the recent an
nOuncement by Ex-Governor
Malcolm +. Patterson, of Ten
nessee, Of his conversion to the
cause of prohibition of the liquor
traffic. The bitter hostility of
Governor Patterson to the liquor
intrestst and the injection of
this issue into Tennessee politics
is the real explanation of the
recent bitterness in politics in
that state, and of the fact that a
republican was chosen governor
and reelected. 1t is also recalled
that the Cooper-Carmack tragedy
was the outgrowth of the bitter
feeling incident to the liquor
question. The Coopers were
friends and proteges of Patter-
son.
Naturally, the complete re-
versal of position on this issue
has caused the ex-governor to be
accused of inconsistency and of
having Interior motives in an
nouncing his change of heart. 1t
was said by some that his pro-
fessions of changed views and
feelings were attributable to a
realization that prohibition had
now grown popular in the state,
and his political espousing that
cause. Patterson, it will be re-
called twice announced candid
acy for Office after his guber-
material term, but so bitter and
violent was the opposition with
in tn ranks of his own party
that he withdrew in both cases
the nomination. AS tending TO
throw light upon the governs
changed attitud towards burn
ing issue, we reproduce here a
statement recently given to the
press by him and leave others to
judge for themselves of the
sincerity of his professions. He
said:
"To those who charge incon-
sistency my reply shall be an
admission to the fact. l am in
consistency; my views now are
not what they were; l am glad |
am inconsistency; | want and
mean to be inconsistency. How
has this change come about? 1t
did not come through me OF by
me. | have felt, my conutrymen,
like one cropping in the dark. /
know suffering and sorrow and
have pitied it in others. | have
felt my weakness and insecurity
and need of help. | could not
find it in cold logic and reason. l
looked for it in my own mind
and conscience and could not find
it. then cast all my pride of
opinion, all throught of what
the world would think, on AL
mighty God and asked for
strength and light. At last l
found it there; my doubts were
dispelled; the curtain of night
has parted, and the way is clear.
from now as long as life shall
last | am the uncompromising
foe of the liquor traffic. Its ugly
and venomous head should be
struck wherever it is raised"
This statement reads like that
of man who has protested
MISUNDERSTANDING of athorough
and genuine sort. So long as his
course is consistent with these
p Professions and there is no con-
fiicting evidence as to his sim
cerity, he is entitled to be credit
ed with absolute sincerity we
would say. The statement is a
rather remarkable one, and ap-
pears to be characterized by un-
reserved candor and earnestaess
and the courage of awakened
convictions.
