WATSON AND THE SENATE
IGNOMINY.

Once in SO often the United States
and the people of the United States
are forced to submit to the ignominy
of Thomas f. Watson, the man who
holds a seat in the United States Sem
ate. Very frequently the fire-eater
from Georgia blazes forth and by his
words and his actions demonstrates
his unfitness by temperament to hold
the position to which the voters Of
Georgia elected him in 1920. His ac-
tions nauseate the entire country, even
though they may not disgust the peo-
pie OF Georgia. This does not mean
that Watson is necessarily wrong in
his stands on public questions but that
the manner Of his stand is full OF -
proach. For instance, if some colleague
does not agree with him, Watson sees
red Immediately and if oil is not
poured on the troubled waters there Is
sure to be an angry outbrust that dis
credits the Senate in the eyes of the
world 1t happened again recently dur
ing the discussion of postmaster APP
pointments in Georgia. Watson vas
opposed by Senator Phipps of Colora-
do, a member of the committee on
postoffices. Phipps stood his ground in
debate. Watson became enraged; he
lost all sense of the dignity of his po-
sition. As his choler mounted he bris-
tied up to Phipps like a fighting bull
dog and shouted: "Come out in the
hall. There is only one way to settle
this matter" As Watson and Phipps
proceeded toward the door, they halted
and Watson shrieked: 'Pve lsd
enough of YOU'LL stamp your CUTS
out" And he might have made the
attempt had not friends OF Senator
Phipps interviewed and separated The
belligerents as they took position Of
offensive and defensive. II seems too
long TO wait until 1927 before getting
rid Of this fellow by ordinary methods
of procedure. 1t is question how
long the Senate itself win stand for
such disgraceful acts as he is guilty of'

Up to the present time the following
work has been accomplished in New

Holland with obstructing traffic in three

DUBLIN, July q. ASSOCIATED Press.)
The town of Waterford ON the south
east coast of Ireland which yesterday
was defended by Republican insurgents
has been entered by national army
forces. who have taken 80 prisoners,
saws an official report issued by the
nationalist general headquarters early
today. The irregulars have retreated
from the infantry and cavalry barracks
and from the post office. all of which are
now in the hands of national troops,
the statement SAYS The irregulars are
now retreating southwark
The capture of Waterford was effected
by the nationalists crossing the river two
miles southeast of the city and entering
the rear of the Country club premises,
where they surprised and captured the
sleeping garrison. The irregulars in
Reginald's tower fed without a shot on
learning of the success of the nationals.
