Mr.. Henry Watterson's views on the po-
iticaI outlook as given in the January
Forum show that this once cheerful and
hopeful expounder of the Democratic faith
has become the veriest pessimist on all mat
tiers relating to politics. He sees no good in
the Republican party, little hope for the
prospects for the independent voters. Natur-
ally then he holds but gloomy views as to
the future of the government, though he is
willing to acknowledge that the moral ma
ture and thought of the people which form
the real background for political move
ments. are important elements to be taken
into account.
