Watson of Georgia, who died suddenly in Washington Tuesduy, now are expected to find "a good deal to say in praise of him, since his life is ended and their commendation ' will do him no crood. ' This is a weakness of human nature, however, which is not peculiar to the press. We go through life say0 ing hurd things about our fellow men, but when the grave closes over those we have condemned, frequently without good cause, most of us are decent enough to - stop tfyere. Senator Watson was a remarkable man, one of the strong men in the nation's public life, und had he been elected to the United States senate before the infirmities of aire laid hold of him, his name would have been wriUen higher on the scroll ot the country's great men. We. have said that Senator Watson ' was a remarkable mun, and so he was?remarkable ill many.respects perhaps but certainly in one: for the sake of expediency and for his own advancement he never iaarned to sacrifice that which he believed to be right, although he knew that the vie\f he frequently took of public matters was not the popular view and that by. refusing to travel with the crowd, as muny public-men do. resardless of their own eon victious, he spurned the politicul favor which might have been bis hud he held less obstinately to his own views. Senator Watson* was not a strict party man, because he sometimes thought the party was wrong, and he dared say so. Way back in the early '90s he . lost a seat in the lower house ot Congress after serving one tenu as the representative of the Augusta district because he considered the principles of the Populist party more in the interest ot the people than those of the Democratic party. Later, in 189o, nc whs ine cunuuiate 01 i lie I opulist party for the vice presiuencv and m 1904 made a briliiaiu campaign for the presidency as the nominee of the same pany, but lost, of course. In recent years )je had returned to the Deraoeratic party, but lacked much of b<ing an admirer of Woodrow Wilson and criticised severely the conduct of the country's part in the World war. No one ever accused him, however, of being in sympathy with -the Republican party. Two years ago he defeated Hoke Smith for the United States senate and there was no ? indication that he had since lost the Md fee had on the Democrats of Georgia when he was elected. Senator Watson had one aeak* feif, nefl^ and that was "hia vanity, but if Vanity is ever excusable in <wai?because he knows he is ' dressed up 011 the inside of his v * brad, it was in -Senator Watsou's His viHueo outweigh eu his faniU ami is will perhaps be a ItBfc time feefore Georgia is again vepr*s??tpi fa the4 TTnited States # ? aaan ?f learning and IntaUeetuaUtjr. _ ' ' ^ ^ ' A thrilling tale of the sea comes over the cable from Loudon telling of the attempt now being made to raise the Lusitania, the most noted of Germany's submarine victims during the World war. Count Landi, who has secured a three year contract with insurance interests to salvage the vessel, iy confident of success. The Lusitania is sunk in 28,3 feet of water, ten miles off Kinsdale Head, Ireland. It is planned to close all the watertight eomptfHnieiits of the big ship, patch the rents made by the torpedo, and raise her by expelling the water with compressed air. There is said to be a large amount of bullion, jewelry and other indestructible valuables in the ship that will afford, millions of profit to the workers if they succeed. The Lusitania was sunk with a loss of 1,500 lives, including a number pf Americans, in 1015. Lamli expects to find the vessel in a fair state of preservation, saying, 44There seems to be no reason why we shouldn't find her just as she sank, for she was the strongest ship in the world. She is lying off a gravel bed and probably the only damage we shall find will be the hole torn in her side by the torpedo." Landi's wrecking cruiser cost $d50.000 and is equipped with all the latest diving devices. The whole world will lie gratified if the sea is forced to give up whatever remains of the Lusituiiiu- and the treasure she carried down. LOST?(tordon Setter, black with tan feet; named Jack.
