C., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1921 THE NEW YEAR AND US What of the new year? What of us? It is more than likely that 1922 will be a momentous year in history. It will write "success" or "failure" over the arms conference in Washington. It will probably see the calling of an economic conference for the purpose of stabilizing the finances of the world. It will give us a clearer insight into the ultimate intentions of the allies relative to the eleven billions of dollars they owe us--whether or not these foreign obligations are to be considered of any greater value to us than mere scraps of paper. It will see the sentiment of this country crystalizing for or against the four-ply alliance thrt has been signed between the United States, England, France and Japan. It will see this country well on the road to normalcy or facing a long period of business stagnation. It will see the nations of the old world emerging from their misery or crumbling into decay. It will see humanity again on the verge of triumphancy or prostrate at the feet of de struction. Much will occur within the year. These great questions of world import may not be decided by the people of this community, other than such weight as the voices of a few may have among the many. But though we are few in numbers, we yet are not with out obligations. A solemn duty confronts ps, as a collective community and as indiivduals. That duty is to labor to,,vrd the restoration of normal con ditions in the business world, to foster a greater spirit of patriotism and fidelity to our country, and to lend our aid to the salvaging of such as is left of the civilization of the world. are the kind that make A PROFIT!

Henry Watterson was one of the last of the old time personal journal ists. More than r half a century his editorials, with their brilliant, origi nal and phrase-making composition, attracted wide attention. The~f were commented on and copied by the press of the nation. Besides his power in molding public opinion through his editorials, Watterson's influence is credited with having shaped the plat form of the Democratic party in more than one presidential campaign. It was perhaps through an accident that Henry Watterson pursued jour nalism. Early in life he evinced un usual musical talent and his parents encouraged it. A mishap that crushed his left thumb, leaving that memiber stiff, caused the musical education to be abandoned. as the piano was his favorite instrument. A natural bent for writing devel oped but even in this Mr. Watterson was seriously handicapped, as illness in infancy had affected his vision. His first journalistic experience was gain ed on a Washington, D. C., newspaper as musical and dramatic critic. His father, Harvey M. Watterson, for twenty years preceding the outbreak of the War between the States, was a Representative in Congress from Tennessee. It was during this time that Henry Watterson laid the foun dation for an elaborate knowledge of national affairs, he spending much of his time associating with party lead ers of that period and in close con tact with the operation of the gov ernment.I Joins Confederate Army. Watterson's course in letters and journalism in the national capital was interrupted just as he attained his majority by the outbreak of war. With his father, he opposed the se cession movement, but upon the de elaring of hostilities, he returned to his Tennessee home and joined the army of the Confedcracy. He served throughout the war, except for a per iod of ten months, when he establish ed and operatedt at Chattanooga, Tenn., "The Rebel," a semi-military paper. Mr. Watterson served first as an aide to the famous calvary leader, General Nathan Bedford Forrest, and later was on the staff of General Leonidas Polk. During the campaign between Gen erals Sherman and Johnson, Watterson was chief-of-scouts of the Confederate army. "The Rebel" instantly achieved great popularity. The paper was out spoken and independent, forecasting in many things the Louisville Cour ier-Journal, a liaeal descendant to fol low it within a few years. Abraham Lincoln was said to be the great passion of Watterson's life. His lecture on "Lincoln" was deliv ered in hun:!rcds of cities and it was his pride to tell of calling on Lincoln the morning of his inauguration and of standing beside him at the cere mouny. "Let no Southern rin point his fin ger at me," Mr. Watterson said, "be cause I cannonize Lincoln, for he was the one frai:!d we had at court when friends were most in, need." Makes Plea for Harmony. When Watterson founded the -Jour nal he made a plea for harmony in the South. Thoroughly reconstructed himself, lie urged all to follow his course in complete submission to the federal government. Mr. Watterson alwyays adivocated a "Tariff for Revenue Only," a p~hrase which he coined, and which finally wvas adopted by the Democratic par ty, Hie was an ardent friend of Grover Cleveland (luring the latter's first ad ministration as President, but oppos ed Cleveland's third nomination. Hlis service as a public official was confincd to a factional term in Con gress. I Ie accepted a seat there in 1876-7 at the winies of Samuel .J. Tilden, wvith whom he was closely al lied. Mr. Watteraon refused renomina tion for the full term. Frequently urged to run for high office lie alwanys refused, maintaining: "I shall stay where I am. Office is not for me. Beginning in slaver~y to end m i poverty, it is odlious to my sense of freedom." From 1872 to 1 892 however, hie sat at all national c'onventions of the Dem ocratic party as delegate-at-large from Kentucky. le presided over the con v'en tion that nominmated Tilden in 1876 and was chairman of the platform commnittees in those of 1880 and 1888. Attitude Towards Bryan. Mr. Watterson opposedI William .Jennings Bryan in hiis candidacy for P'resident in 189ti, b~ut in 1900t the Courier-Journal gave hiim luke-warm support. In 1908, however, what Mr. Watterson denominated as the "free silver heresy" heing "as dead as Af rican slavery," in the Unitedl States, lie became a war~m supporter of Bryan. Mr. Watterson also dlevoted some of his editorial attention to social queations. lie once made a savage at tac'k on Newv York society wvomen, calling them, "a flock of unclean hirds." Hie accused themn of a fondness for display that ruined the men, and a love of c'iamipagne and bridge that eventually ruined their morals. His dashing atyle gave currency to "Light Horse Hnrry,"' and "Henry of Navarre." Tlae most piopuilar nickname and the most frequently used, how ever, was pla in "'Marse Henry." As effectively as i Ie wrote Mr. Wat terson spoke on the public platform.

Mr. Watterson's Version.. Of his career, Mr. Watterson re ,ently said: "I came out of the war lik3 many )f the young fellows of the South, % very picked bird, indeed. In ordr ;o escape the humiliation of borrow ng from a Northern uncle, whose politics I did not af~provo, I went with ny watch to an "uncle" who had no politics at all and got fifty dollars n it. Along with two blanket-mates, vho were as pogor as myself, I start A, or rather revived, publication of an ld suspended newspaper at Nash iille. Nothing could withstand the mergy and ardor which we three threw into the enterprise. We were 6vorking for bread and we had to have it. When we began there were nine :laily papers struggling for footing in the little Tennessee capital. At the mid of the year there were two, and f these ours had two thirds of the ausiness. After two years, I was call Ad to Louisville to take an editorial position on the old Louisville Journal, :he paper of George D. Prentice Six nonths later Walter N. Haldemaan, ,vho owned the Courier, joined with ne in combining the Journal and ,ourier. Incidentally this led to the purchase of the old Louisville Demo :rat, this publication losing its iden :ity entirely. That is about all."
