the death of Senator
Thomst £.*tYaucn. Of Georgia, cams
with a sudden shock at an early hour
frits m^riring. Mr. Watson had been
01 f£r 1pome time but not seriously
and the sudden end was not unexpect
I even to hla closest friends.
Dea)£ baa removed one of the most
Interestiag'aad forceful characters
Georgia politics for a generation
It takes film away at a crucial
time In Georgia’s political history,
In which many complications
arise, resulting from the removal of
hla Influence and the fact that none
yet qualified to beer tbe mantle
that he carried.
For more than thirty years this In-
dlectual genius has bean a domlna
gure In Georgia political life and a
national and International character
in the field of history. His writings
regarded as evidences of unquee-
genius and have been accepted
throughout the world as the best ex
amples of the field he covered. Since
lorable literary efforts, Mr.
Watson has been a politician solely,
t was In this field that he seemed
take most Interest and although
his mind was fitted for higher and
better things he devoted every ounce
of his brain and bis energy to what
he termed the Interests of the masses
of the people. It was In this work that
made hla enemies, hundreds of
them by his radical tendencies but
in deny that he also made
friends, the kind that stick through
thick and thin and who gave heed to
bis every political wish, regardless of
their preferences or Ideas. No man
has yet wielded a more powerful Inflii-
of himself than did Mr. Watson
10 man used It more directly for
the promotion of his political schein-
problem in the political
field Mr. Watson had no peer and no
:an seems to have wielded his power
1th less regard for clique or clan
The death of Senator Watson re
moves from public life a Georgian who
perhaps had the largest personal fol
lowing In oar hlatory aa a state.
In the early days tbe population was
small, so no following could be com
pared to Mr. Watson's.
Of the statesmen of a later period
the writer recently heard a grandson
of General Toombs say that he was
personally acquainted with Stephens.
Hill. Brown and tbe great leaders of
that period through his grandfather
and that not In a single Instance dkl
one have a following comprabali
Senator Watson’s.
The Junior Georgia senator
nominated In 1898. for rice president
by the Populists on a ticket headed by
W. J. Bryan. He was later nominated
by the same party for president and
made a speech In Thomaaville in 1904,
as the candidate of the “middle of the
read" Populists.

inence in public lift

THE TURKISH SITUATION.

plratlons of the three great Europeai
England, France and Russia
Had it been ten years ago, Germany
and Austria, would bare been In the
midst of the controversy with proba
bly tbe World War a few years ahead
of its schedule.
As It stands now the Greeks have
miserably failed In their effort to ae-
terrltory Inhabited by Greeks
but controlled by the Turks. They
have suffered a defeat that was sari-
doing have brought the
question to the counsellor London,
Paris and Rome In a wpy that betok-
is trouble.
If the Turk Is allowed to dominate
le Dardanelles, Europe will be con
tinually Id a war or a threat of war.
There ran be no peace with the Tara
in power In Europe or any part of It
and as has been the
dred years the Turks will always he
means of stirring up strife If
is no other excuse for It. That')
neat In Turkey and always has
been.
Tbe Balkan situation is further cot
plicated by the teritorial struggles <
the Bulgarians. Rumanians. Jugo-Sla'
etc. Each of these countries desire
something either for himself
against his neighbor and the bigger
powers are Just as greedy and Just
Jealous. The Turk will have to si

In facing this question with Its forces
of military and naval strength wool
at least have the moral support of tin
world, even If It falls to bring rtf
military strength necessary to abso
lutely quell all Turkish ambitions r

TH* UNFAIRNESS OF SOME LAWS
"tjtSSfc-uUi »*.;
Thare are said, to be laws, whethei
obsolete or not, that prevent or at
tempt to prevent the wearing of male
attire by women. A recent caae
cited from a small Michigan town
blch a Judge sentenced a young girl
wearing men’s clothing during her
business hours at work which she
thought required It, to- ten days
Jail. The girl frankly asked the Judge
why the Idle rich could don knickers
and caort around In their sports and
society atunte while a poor working
girl eouldp't use the attire that beat
suited her work?
There Is some bleat In that little
cocoanut and while the story of the
Judge's reply la lacking, he probably
bed something to cogitate on while
■pending that ten days In
Jail for a crime that at leaat was not
premedltatedly rotten or malicious.
There Is a tendency to create sensa
tions by the enforcement of such or-
The girl may have been In the
wrong but acts aa stated above do not
Justify a Jail sentence, even If we
should be Judged of lese majesty <*
contempt of court In making this ob

OBSCENE LITERATURE SHOULD
BE BANNED.
There are a few publications that
are obscene, no less than that, by their
suggestive and often open vulgarity.
These magazines are often sold at
reputable news stands. None are
sold In Tbomaevllle since their charac-
aa discovered but they had a

People found out about them

magazines are not sent through th?
mails. This la an indictment against
them that decent people ought to find
sufficient to bar them from decent so
ciety. Yet tbeift come and come at

The senator's views were so
phatic and his conduct so spectacular
that few felt Indifferently toward him.
One alther admired him blindly ot
hated him in the same way. For this
reason there will be very few accurate
estimates of his life work at this time.
Some will picture his as a demi god,
others as a demagogue.
