Gov. Patterson of Tennessee ad-
dressed large gathering Sunday
afternoon. H made an able plea for
national prohibition. Mr.. Patterson
used to be on the other side of the
fence. He was for local option
town local option, county local OPP
ton, then State Prohibition and final
ly to where he stands now. He says
his horizon of thought is widening,
and he is glad he can change his
mind. He also plead for prepared
ness. We thought that little later,
as his mind continues to widen, may
be he will change his mind on that
point, too. Patterson is evidently
coming around to the right all right,
in most things.

by the Indians have virtually been
cheated out Of their lands"

one of the top-notchers on the
Chautauqua platform is said to be
Opie Read. In speaking of a smile
he said that he liked to, see people
smile for if they did not they had
lost all sense of humor and that
caused hardening of the arteries.
He told of his visit to the city.
How he went into cabaret, sat
down at table and in the rear there
sat beautiful woman quarreling
with a man. Finally she arose and
coming over to where he was sitting
asked him TO show her to a carriage.
He did so and when she got into the
carriage she demanded her purse.
He argued with her, or started to de-
nying that he had the purse when
the driver of the carriage demanded
that she be given her purse. Seeing
that he had been trapped he reached
to his inside pocket and drew out a
pocketbook and asked If that was
hers. She said 1t was and ge gave it
to her, but it contained only samples
of calico.
Told of how he had gotten a
lot of green paper, wrapped a dollar
bill around it, then put a rubber
band about the roll and a fellow ap-
preached and asked to have a 500
bill changed. The fellow gave Read
the bill and when Opie fished the roll
from his pocket the fellow grabbed il
and ran He thought he was
$19 ahead but upon examination
found it to be counterfeit. He said
it's best to he honest at all times, be-
cause when you leave the paying
teller's window at the bank they cor.
rect no mistakes.
He told of his visit to a sweat shop
where girls are shut up with drawn
blinds and there make shirt
waists for which they receive three
cents each, and how the owner Of
the penitentiary of human souls
gave a stained glass window as q
memorial to a church, sported his
diamonds, gave $500 as a donation
for song books and how he let his
character be known. He thought il
might be well for some of our mis-
sionaries to come home and get busy
saying to the women that as they ap
proach the ballot these are some o.
the problems they will have to face
The negro women of the South il
the cotton fields have more freedom
than the girls in the sweat shop, fol
the negro women are allowed to sinl
but not so with the girl in the swea
shop. One fellow told Read that he
intended to pray for the suppression
of the sweat shop. Praying hi
thought was all right, but the shot
gun policy would be the surest wa,
to get rid of the sweat shop,

Thursday afternoon Mr. Adrain
was the speaker. He recounted the
great discoveries aud Improvements
upon nature made by Luther Bur
bank, the great plant wizard of Cali
fornia. Experimental with cacti of
great southern deserts and in some
remarkable way has has caused them
to produce 100 tons of edible green
stuff to the acre. His process Of
cultivation will make corn produce
75 tons of ensilage to the acre. Mr..
Adrain maintained that plant grnwtI
only maintains its form because it
has contracted the habit of pgO1uc-
ing plants, fruit or grain in that
manner. BY changing the habit OBJ
jectional features can be eliminated.
Luther Burbank had illim' .,ted
seeds from a great number Of fruits,
thereby diverting the plant energy to
producing good fruit instead Of
seeds It seems that the simple rag
weed, the bane of farmers, has elud-
ed the efforts of Mr.. Burbank to
make it edible. For Mr.. Adrain sid
fame and fortune awaited the man
who would discover how to elimin-
ate the Objectionable chemical III this
plant.
Mr.. Adrain has looked out over
Missouri fields in his travels and
finds we will not raise twofifths t a
crop this year. He advocated dry
farming, for drOuth years, and said
corn should never be planted more
than two years in the same field.
The cutworm, he said is another
great enemy of the farmer and an
other opportunity to win fame and
fortune is presented to any young
man who will discover how to get
rid of it
Mr.. Adrain deploreG the fact that
we hold up warriors and great gen
erals in the schools as heroes of the
world. Instead those who have rem
dered the greatest service to hu-
manity should have this honor. He
cited Pasteur who had discovered the
diptheria serum, and the young New
Orleans physician who gave his life
that the yellow feve' germ comes
from a certain type of the mosquito,
and by doing so the plague had been
swept from the American continent.
Mr.. Adrain said that one-tenth of
the world is absolutely starving. The
greatest work in the world is to
learn how to increase production to
feed the starving millions. In this
young men would find the highest
opportunity, not only in material
way, but in the higher quality of
service to humanity. Thomas Edi-
son and Luther Burbank are the
greatest men in the world, Mr..
Adrian declared. The applause that
followed showed that the audience
was with him.

MAINE DISTINCTLY
 AMERICAN STATE

Tue Cleveland Leader in all article under the head of "Hyphenstes Not Guilty explains the result of the Maine election in the following:
 President Wilson and his followers, thinking bitterly over the results of the Maine election, cannot blame the hyphenates for the smashing blow dealt the administration. There are only few hundred voters in Maine who are of German origin and still fewer from Austria-Hungary.
 In that state the foreign-born pop alation is nearly all from Canada or the British isles. The census of 1910 showed that 76.eeS residents of Maine were born in Canada and I6.1S4 were natives of the United Kingdom The total foreign-born population of the state was only 11o.562. The number ot men. women and children born in Ger many was l.2S2 Just SSI had come from Austria and but 157 from Hun gary.
 II will be seen at a glance that the feeling Of Germans and German-Amer- jeans about the course the president has followed in respect 10 war prob lens and war conditions could not pos si6ly have affected the result in Maine materially. AS far as hyphenates played any part it might have been ex- paeted 10 be fn favor Of the admins tration. on the theory that what the Germans and their sy.npa.aIzers have complained of should win rather than Fepel toreign-born citizens CT Canadian and British origin.
 But Maine is distinctly an old-stock American state and its verdict is the decision Of Americans. without h. paeus in fact or in feeling II express as the sentiment Of 2 large majority af the people of the United States.
