He was known in the modest board

sternly:

ut is not surprising that the liquor
traffic would seize upon states rights
for safety. In the past when town
or county proposed to outlaw the sa-

to stay the local sentiment by telling
the people that it would favor state
prohibition, when it knew that state
action was remote or impossible.
When the sentiment for state pro-

overwhelm the traffic it then sought
delay until the government should act
and now when the tide has rushed
on until it has reached the walls of the

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July o.
Former Governor Malcolm R. Patter.
son, of Tennessee, who was one of thu
speakers at today's session of the
national Anti-Saloon League conven
ton, urged that national prohibition
was the proper way to deal with the
liquor question.
The case against the Liquor Traf-
nc has been made out" he said. "The
witnesses, who testify, conform to
every legal requirement of credibility:
they are intelligent, have the means of
information and are willing to speak
the truth. They are Science, Expert
ence, and Religion
Science, without bias, cold, calcu-
lating, testifes that alcohol is a poison
to the body.
Experience comes, and sets before
our view an inept, sullen, moaning,
struggling, unhappy procession Of

borrowing, conversion and thrift
scheme all in one, and will very
largely alter the basis of investment.
The government retains the option of
dealing afresh with its new debt at
the end of ten years, or has margin
beyond that time of several more years
while the conversion of every hun
dred pounds ($5O0) of consols at about
66 pounds, means that so much debt is
wiped out as though obliterated by
sinking fund operations.
One great nit the government has
made is in the effort to draw in the
savings of the working class by issu-
ing five shilling vouchers at postoffices
and trade union headquarters, as with
wage on a high scale in all Industrial
centers there will be a great opportun-
ity for the worker to but at least rst
five shillings worth as a novelty which
may be an incentive to obtain sufficient
for exchange into five poundbond.
These small vouchers and bonds
will not be tied up as are the savings
bank deposits, which require two or
three days notice to withdraw. but
will be saleable to the postoffice at any
time, less commission.
Some confusion was caused by a
vote for only $50 millions being asked
for recently, and the new loan being
for an unlimited amount but the for
mer was only nominal amount and
the latter is intended to cover expendi-
lures for the year, to allow for pos
sible conversion of consols, old war
loan and annuities into the new loan,
and for paying off something like two
hundred and thirty-f1ve millions of
| treasury bills which mature in the
near future, besides repaying to the
Bank of England advances made early
in the war. This last item in Novem-
Der was one hundred and twenty mill
lions sterling, but the chancellor has
since stated it is now well under fifty
millions.
