SENATOR WATSON.

The natural comment on the death
OF Senator Thomas e. Watson Of
Georgia will be In the direction Of re-
gret that a man OF such undoubted
genius and ability in some lines.
should have proved such a failure In
public life. His course In the Sen
ate was OF a character that did not
commend him TO many persons outside
Of his immediate personal friends and
admirers. He displayed no evidences Of
constructive statesmanship, and was
defian. in his indifference to parlia-
mentary restraint and obligations In
his consideration of questions before
that body.
But OF Senator Watson II may truly
be said he was q writer OF history Of
undoubted excellence and deserved
popularity. His STORY OF France is
most attractive in contents and con-
ceded to be historically accurate. His
Life OF Napoleon" has been praised
by competent critics as being not only
reliable, but most revealing in its pic
turing Of tho character and accom-
plishments OF that extraordinary man
And other productions Of his pen have
been most acceptable.
Now that he has gone down before
the hand Of the Great Destroyer, 4,
will be kindly and proper to remembe,
him only for those things that com
mend a man to the good feeling Of his
fellows.

ZONING IN PROVIDENCE.

Announcement that a tentative zen
ing plan for Providence will be ready
for discussion next January Is accom-
panied by a statement that the expert
who Is in charge OF the work desires
TO explain the situation TO civic or
ganizations during the next three
months. There should be no delay in
accepting the offer. for 1t is important
that there should be a thorough un-
derstanding Of the subject before a
specific proposition is presented to the
City Council.
The question of zoning Is being
given serious consideration In many
American cities. Property owners
have learned from unfortunate ex-
perience that their legitimate interests
often require restrictions on building
operations. In Providence the situa-
ticn has been met in part by the exer-
else OF discretion In the issuing OF
permits for garages. Two-car garages
can be built without public hearings
provided the Inspector of Buildings
is satisfied that there Is no interference.

TROUBLE IN SIGHT.

The provisions OF tho new Tariff law
which give authority to customs Of
icers and other official agents of the
United States to make search and
seizure Of ships conveying liquors
within limit OF four leagucs-About
fourteen miles--of our shore line at
low water, threatens to create trouble.
The British government already Is
instituting official inquiry into the
probable effects OF such an extension
OF authority beyond tho long accepted
thrce-mile limit.
A controversy over this question
would prove most interesting to the
people Of tho United States, especially
those who have fair knowledge OF the
history Of their country. Tho freedom
OF the seas is q principle for which our
government has strongly contended
since its formation. 1t was = gross
violation Of this principle by Grea,
Britain that brought about our war
with that country from 1912 TO 1915
Now the situation Ia presented of in
ternational trouble being provoked by
violation OF this principle by tho
United States.
At any rate. the situation may brins
good by resulting In a clear and un'
disputed international recognition o.
the extent Of each country's jurisdic
ton over the high seas that line ol
surround its shores. The three-mil,
limit has long been accepted and Il
virtually in force now. 1t is doubtful

Evan II one were inclined to poke
fun at NJ. Emile Coue and his "seit-
mastery through conscious auto-sug-
ge,t,on," IL wouldn't be just the thing
TO do. Too many Nice People are tax
ing him UP.
In hundreds Of the best homes In
England and the United States Now

tutional ritual takes the form pre-
scribed by Coue: Every day, In

ter" II seems n curious combination
Of fad and faith, but Coueism has the
Endorsement OF many prominent people
who declare that tho daily repetition
OF the simple formula has improved
their health and increased their hap
piness.
Coue. who seems TO b something

Christian Scientists. declare that d.
sease is an error" Nor does he. like
the devotees Of tho New Thought. as
sumo that forces outside the individual
can be called into play by right

first law Of the unconscious, as stated
by DR.. Coue. Is this: Every idea
which enters the conscious mind. if 1t
is accepted by the unconscious, Is
forms henceforth a permanent ele-
ment Of out life."
1T must be evident" writes G.
Harry Brooks in his little book on
Coues. work, that II we flll our con-
scious minds with ideas of health, Joy,
goodness. efficiency, and can ensure
their acceptance by the unconscious,
these ideas too will become realities,

with which Coue's formula Is con-
cerned. The mere repetition, every
night and every morning. without con-
centration OF thought or will. Of this
| little sentence is the complete pre-
scription, and it is being followed
either fiippantly or with faith, by q
remarkably large number OF people.
OF course 1t isn't all nonsense. and
OF course, there is, no doubt. a good
deal of nonsense about 1t. Nobody
fully understands the possibilities OF
the unconscious mind and its effect
upon bodily health and happiness
Probably 1t has not been noted suf-
ficiently by many Of the medical pro-
fession who warn" their patients tc

also been over-emphasized by various
schools of psychotherapists who rely
too much on the unconscious mind II
seeking to treat various bodily all
ments. One of the mcst interesting
features Of Coue's treatment is the
neglect of the will. Coue says that Il
say Il will get better" merely sets w
the contrary idea. Il am really gettini
worse in spite Of myself" But to sa,

ton. The governor 10 not desirous OF
another term in the ONCE, and will
accept denomination only under con-

he be permitted to name his associ-
ates on the Republican State ticket.
Naturally. this condition attracts
violent opposition. especially from the
aspirants for places on the ticket
whom he classes as undesirable as
sociates. and who have good prospects
of securing nominations they seek.
There are two aspirants in this situa-
ton and they and their friends are up

But Governor Miller seems 10 have
the whip hand in the controversy. II
his party will not allow him 10 selec,
his associates on the State ticket, he
Will not accept the denomination II
insists upon rendering him. And II the
party should yield to the governors
demand there would be danger OF a
revolt that might seriously impair
prospects OF success at the election.
The situation is decidedly unique
and the outcome will be awaited with
interest in all political circles. 1t would
be a somewhat remarkable innovation
TO permit the head OF a party ticke
to select his associates, even under
favorable conditions. To permit hin
to do this against the earnest protests
OF eager aspirants might prove fatal.

P0RTLANDy NEW PIER.

The board OF engineers for rivers and
harbors told the city OF Portland some
time ago that Its failure To attract port
business from the territory logically
tributary to II was due chiefly to the
lack of facilities for handling such
Traffic. There are no suitable terminals
at Portland for tho railways that cover
northern New England. The Grand
Trunk has fine terminal on Portland
harbor, but Its business Is not with the
Industries OF New England; 1t chiefly
carries Canadian grain for export dur
Ing tho winter months. Charges for
switching and wharfage interpose n
financial obstacle to the transfer OF
freight from the Maine Central and
the Boston and Maine 10 these Grand
Trunk terminals.
As tho railroads make no provision
for facilities for handling general traf-
fic on the Portland waterfront. the
State has undertaken to do It, The
Maine harbor commission several
years ago approved n plan for build
Ing a public state pier Mt cost. with
the site, set down at n million ana

cent TO the Grand Trunk terminal and
will be 1000 feet long and equipped
for tho handling Of freight with

bors advised with the Maine commits

THE DANGEROUS DICTIONARY.

A member OF the Boston City Coun-
ell has acquired notoriety by offering
q resolution calling for the elimina-
tion Of the latest edition OF Webster's
Dictionary from the public library Of
that city. Having occasion to look up
some words in that huge volume, re-
Gently, he was amazed and alarmed
at finding definitions OF Constitution"
liberty" and other words applicable
to comments on our institutions that
were at variance with what he con-
sidered generally accepted understand
ing. To him they seemed discrepan-
cies most alarming.
But II Webster is to be eliminated,
viii any other Standard lexicon now
in use be deemed less objectiona BILE?
And II not will we be compelled as a
means Of relief to throw away our die
tionaries altogether?
Such a resort would be DISASTROUS.
as results would be irrational and
confusing. We recall an incident in
this city, years ago, when noted
local constable, when his spelling Of
