Liquor Evil

Columbus. O., Nov 12.-Dramatic
and stirring in the extreme were the
sessions of the Anti-Saloon League
National convention today, which
was known as Governors Day.
At the afternoon meeting former
Gov. Malcolm +. Patterson. Of Ten
nessee. who came here in special
car, accompanied by Ben W. Hooper,
the present chief executive of that
state, thrilled his hearers as no other
speaker had done by recital OF the
reasons that converted him from one
OF the most Jealous advocates OF the
liquor interests into one OF their bit
terest and most active opponents.
Twice Mr.. Patterson was elected Gov
ernor of Tennessee as a wet"
He explained that his gubeTnatori-
al messages to the Tennessee Iegis-
lature in which he opposed leglsla-
ton to regulate the saloon traffic, rep
resented his honest convictions at
that time.
But" he continued, my lifet has
had deep SORROWS. My soul has been
tossed on the waves of angry seas.
My nature has been profoundly touch
ed and stirred.

consigning them to uniimely graves.

help him in his brave but sometimes
melancholy struggle for redemption
AT last | have left its foul and
stealthy blow as il turned upon me
In its deadly and shaming wrath
upon me, who had pleaded before the
people for its very existence. Men
have called me strong, and. while !

myself immune, as thousands before

for the thought.

Pains S Fireworks
Stage Is Interesting

There are many interesting sights be-
hind the scenery. especially in the fire
works display. which. nightly closes the
exhibition Of Pains Last Days Of
Pompeii." Back of the artificial city
in an open space stands q rick against
which the rockets are leaning, long
row of them. like q picket fence. Ono
of the assistant pyrotechnists has
charge Of this. part Of the entertain
ment. and 1t is a duty not entirely free
from danger. With q torch, the fire
man moves along the line Of rockets,
touching one after another: they hiss
for a moment. then shoot aloft with
the speed and lightness Of bird.
Near by are the heavy steel mortars
from which the bombs are fired. and
greater caution must be exercised IN
the loading and firing Of these than in
igniting the rockets. The artiilerist
stoops low and turns his face away as
with a five-foot pole he applies the
torch to the fuse. which sputters and
throws sparks all about It. 3
The bombs are shells Of mache paper,
loaded with the firebaIls that burn when
the shells explode. The portraits and
set pieces are mos; difficult to. con-
struct. for they require no small amount
of artistic skill to arrange on the lat
tice frames the little sticks Of ,compo.

they stand out from the frame like
teeth from a barrow. All of the ends
are connected with a quick match,
which, when II explodes. ignites the
