THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1922.
Newspapers that have never
bad any kind words for the late
Senator Thomas E. 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

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.
