Patterson Making
As Speeches in Ga

Ex-Governor Malcolm R. Patterson,
of Tennessee, will arrive in Americas
Wednesday from cambridge and will
speak at the First Methodist church
Wednesday night. This address will
be one of 45 he is making in Georgia
under the auspices of the Saloon
League, in which he is one of the fore
most workers today His topic here
will be What is Victory" From
Americas, he will go to Cuthbert for
an address Thursday.
The following from the Detroit,
Mich, Tribune, tells something of the
man and his mission.
Ex-Governor Patterson is one of
the best known and most eloquent
speakers for the cause of prohibition
in this country. He was twice elected
governor of Tennessee, and during
those terms was one of prohibitions
bitterest foes. In his speeches at that
time he characterized prohibition as
the prolific cause of almost every i'll
which had befallen his state and party
and as an infringement on personal
liberty and property rights.
He became converted to the new
viewpoint that the general welfare Of
society is of more importance than in
dividual liberty, whose strong advo-
cate he has always been. From this
new attitude he studied the liquor
problem and came to the conclusion
that prohibition is the only remedy for
it's evils.
He gave up his law preface to de-
vote his whole time to the cause of
prohibition and his eloquence and
evident sincerity have brought him en-
thusiastic listeners. He made a decla-
ration of his change of conviction at
the national convention of the Anti-Sa-
loon League in Columbus, Ohio, in
November, 1913, where he was invited
to speak. He said:
81 acknowledge the wrong I did
when I once advocated policies which
would have made legal trade which
have come to look upon as having
no rightful place in the scheme and
economy of Christian civilization. l
favor prohibition in any form that
will either reduce or destroy the Ii.
quor traffic. I favor it person-wide,
town wide, statewide. nationwide.

1t is said that the epitaph to b,

TO enlist in his service better mer
than himself"
It is such a bit of originality as
might have been expected from the
quantity humorous Scotchman-an
odd combination of modesty and
egotism. And there is in 1t a good
sermon on business administration
or any kind OF administration, for
that matter.
To be able to pick out better

Loyalty in his service-is not that

he tries to be It." he is foredoom-
ed to breakdown and failure. He
must necessarily rely for the most
part on others. The nose success
ful he is, the more OF his work he
has done by other men. He picks
out the right men and lets them "go
to it."
"Mr. Carnegie's young men" have
become proverbial. Charles Schwab
was one OF them. A dozen or more
have made good in a big way, be-
cause they had the stun in them
and because Carnegie saw it and
gave them chance to use It,
Such an executive can afford to
submerge himself in his orgaiiza-

them" in business as in any other
form of human activity. The results
speak for themselves.
When you find a great business
functioning perfectly and succeeding
notably, you may be perfectly sure
that somewhere back of the visible
human machinery is some man big
and sensible and wise enough to
"enlist in his service better men than
himself'-not all-round better men
perhaps. but better men for the par
ticular work required OF them.

COLUMBIA CLAIMS GIRL
OF SOUTHERN OREGON

Portland, Aug. 20.-Three lives
were sacrificed in the waters of the
Columbia river yesterday by bathers
who sought the cool comfort of the
stream.
Velma Davidson, of Gold Hill.
Oregon, 19 years Of age, gave her
life in the attempt to rescue a COM
panion bather, Lloyd Goff of 1916
Union avenue, Portland, at Forest
Hall. near Crown Point. Raymond
Fl. Koessell, of 727 Hood street, a
student of the University Of Oregon,
was drowned while bathing in the
river near Goble.
Miss Davidson and young Con-
both were employed at Forest Hall.
Yesterday afternoon they went for
swim about half mile from the
tavern in company with George Lord
who lives at Bridal Veil. Lord and
Miss Davidson could both swim, but
Goff was inexperienced in the water.
Lord, according to reports from
Forest Hall, warned Goff to stay
near the shore and close to his com
panions. They had left the water
and were starting back to Forest
Hall when Goff decided to take an
other plunge. Before his companions
realized his danger he had got in
the current of the river and beyond
his depth.
Lord first attempted to rescue
him, but the struggling boy grasped
him and almost pulled him under.
When Lord saw that they were both
in danger OF drowning he managed
to release himself and regained the
shore. Despite warning from Lord
Miss Davidson then attempted a res
cue. Goff clung to her, and the two
went down together
AS soon as help could arrive the
bodies were recovered. A physician
had been sumomned from Bridal
Veil. but 1t was impossible to resus-
citate them.
Miss Davidson is the daughter OF
Mr. and Mrs. ]. e. Davidson of Gold
Hill. She comes from a prominent
southern Oregon family and her
father is road supervisor for his dis
trict. The girl attended Gold Hill
high school.

any one of the conferees thought
there was any comparable agreement

thought best to avoid the appearance
of dealing in such a document with
the policy of single nation. Abso-
lutely nothing is concealed in the
phrase.
"The right of any sovereign state
to withdraw has been taken for
granted, but no objection was made
to making it explicit.
Article ten seems to me TO con-
stitute the very backbone OF the
whole covenant Without II the
league would be hardly more than an
influential debating society.
