BEG PARDON. COLONEL!

Great lawyers make poor statesmen.
declares Colonel Henry Watterson, be
ginning a mighty editorial in the
Louisville CourierJournal Of August
2. and from this premise he proceeds
TO lambast Judge Hughes.
There are too many exceptions TO
allow the Colonel's statement to go
unchallenged Begin with Alexander
Hamilton. the grandest statesman IL
American history. He helped. more
Than sny other man, excepting Wash
.pgtoa. 10 establish the United States
OF America. He organized the Treas
ury Department and his ideas today
are found In practical working order,
WithouI added improvement, in every
department and bureau Of our National
government He touched the decay
ing corpse OF our public credit and IT
sprang into life" He was the Father
OF the Constitution, which has brought
us safe and sound through the turmoil
of many decades and will suffice for
the needs Of another century.
Forget Hamilton as z politician, but
study his work as a statesman, and he
towers above the greatest men OF mod
ern times.
Hamilton was the Tight-hand OF
General Washington. His genius
shone respondent in the Farewell Ad-
dress and other great state papers OF
that period
Every American. proud of his coun-
try, should read Atherton's "The Con-
querer, which tells. in thrilling nara
tiyc. the true story Of Alexander Ham
iIton's life.
Surely, Colonel watterson for the
moment toTgets Webster. Clay, Cal
hun, jackson, Marshall. Henry, and
hosts OF others. who certainly were
great lawyers and statesmen of the
highest order.
Colonel Watterson probably had IN
mind the evils in government for
which lawyers are responsible, that
THE evil that men do lives after them,
but the good is oft inferred with their
bones" He should remember, how
ever, the overwhelming good that they
have done, the freedom, the liberty,
the practical machinery OF govern
ment which we enjoy-nearly all the
splendid work of great lawyers, who
were patriots and statesmen OF the
finest type.

The MeXicans are, indeed, quick to
resent affront and, as enemies, are
extremely dangerous. At heart, how
