themselves OF the glories of thcil
past. Perhaps they felt that the
vein was too rich and too deep
to make an attempt to open il
here and there. They have been
satisfied to know that it was
pure gold from end to end.
Today, however, with the pen
dulum of time swinging ever
towards the material, Virginians
feel that the moment is ripe TO
uncover some of the rich contents
of that vein. What they have
held precious among themselves
they are now willing to share
with the world, and to this end
every man and woman in whom
the blood of Virginia throbs will
unite to celebrate in a great His
torical Pag cant to be held in
Richmond i'll May, 1922, the
most important event that has
ever transpired on this continent
the landing of the English
speaking race at Jamestown, Vir-
ginia, in the year Of our Lord
and of his majesty James IL, OF
England, 1907.
There is not foot of ground
in Virginia that is not historic.
To read the names of her coun
ties is to read history, and each
of these counties and every vii
lage, town and hamlet will de-

tableau, in spoken word or song,

rs Of Virginia.

years.
The actual participation OF
hundreds of Virginia people will

of the Anglo Saxon race as ex.
lists anywhere today on this con,
tlnent.

and sacrifice Of the establishment
of our government from its ear

 Lincoln icuding Star
 Abraham Lincoln was said to be the great passion of Watterson's life. His lecture on Lincoln was deliv- cred in hundreds of cities and it was his pride to tell of calling on Lin coin the morning of his inaugura- ton and of standing beside him at the ceremony
 'Tet no Southern man point his finger at me-" MT. Watterson said, "because I cannonize Lincoln, for he was the one friend we had at court when friends were most in need"
 When Watterson founded the Jour- nel ha made a plea for harmony in Hhe South. Thoroughly reconstructed himself he urged all to follow his course in complete submission to the Federal government.
 MT. Watters6n always advocated a Tariff for Revenue Only,' a phrase which he coined. and which finally was adoINed by, the Democratic party. He was an ardent friend of Grover Cleveland during the latter's first administration as President, but op- posed Cleveland's third nomination.
 His service as. a public official was confined to a fractional term in Congress. He. accepted seat there in 1S76-77 at the wishes of Samuel j Tilden with whom he was closely allied. Mr. Watterson refused re- nomination for the full term. Ere quently urged to run for high office, he always refused, maintaining:
 "I shall stay where I am. Office is not for me. Beginning in slavery to end with poverty it is odious to my sense of freedom
 From 1872 to 1892, however, he sat at all national conventions of the Democratic party as a delegate-at- large from Kentucky. He presided over the convention that nominated Tilden in 1876 and was chairman of the Platform Committee in those of 1880 and 1888 ,.4i,-
 VI Opposed Bryan .41
 MT. Watterson opposed William Jennings Bryan in his candidacy i;r President in 1896, but in 1900 the Courier7Journal gave him lukewdrrl support. In 1908. however, what Mir. Watterson denominated as the free silver heresypN being ''as dead as African slavery"in the United States,
The Alaska daily empire., 1921-12-22

he became a wamn supporter of Bryan.
 Ma. Wattereon also devoted some of his editorial attention to social questions He once made savage attack on New York society women calling them "a flock of uncicaG birds" He accused them of fond ness for display that ruined the men. and a love of champagne and bridge that eventually ruined their morals.
 His dashing style gave him sEch nicknames' as Light Horse Harry and "Henry of Navarro" He was more popularly called plain "Marse Henry
 As effectively as he wrote MT. Watterson spoke on the public plat form His reputation as an orator reached its climax when he delivered an address at the dedication of the Columbian Exposition when he ap- .peared as the governments official spokesman.
 Among the several books he w ote or compiled were Oddities of South ern Life and Character" volume of Southern humor; The Spanish-Amer- ican War" written concurrently with the events. and his latest W TX, Compromises of Life" a compilation of his lectures, addresses and nu- merous editorials from the Codriar- Journal
 Comments on Career
 Of his career Mir. Watterson re- gently said:
 ''I came out of the war like many of the young fellows of the South, very picked bird, indeed Tn order to escape the humiliation of borrow. ing from Northern uncle, whose politics I did not approve, I went with my watch to an uncle who had no politics at all and got $50 on i. Along with two blanke.ates. who were as poor as myself. I started. or rather revived publication of an old suspended newspaper at Nash vllle. Nothing could withstand the energy and arder which we three threw into the enterprise. We were working for bread and had to have it. When we began there were nine daily papers struggling for a footing in the little Tennessee capital. At the end of the year there were but two, and of these ours had two- thirds of the business. After two years 1 was called to Louisville to take an editorial position on the old Louisville Journal, the paper of George D, Prentice. Six months, later Walter N. Haldeman, who owned the Courier, joined with me in com binGng the Journal and Courier. :l cidentally this led to the purchase of the old Louisville Democrat. this publication losing its identity entire ly. That is about all."
 The consolidation Of the three pa pers was the first of the great news paper combinations. It resulted in the first appearance of the Courier Journal. November 8, 1868.
 In his early years he superintend- ed the detail of every departm and for more than 30 years put the paper to press" every night
 He was born in Washington, D C., on February 16, 1840. .
