and the stormy petrol of the Senate dur
ing his incumbency OF nineteen months,
died suddenly at his home IN Chevy
Chase early this morning.
Death was due to an acute attack OF
asthma, from which he has suffered for
many years. He was stricken suddenly
at dinner last night and had several
severe attacks. Although Senator Wat

months. he was in his seat Friday when
the Senate adjourned.

and a sister, Mrs. Julia Cliatt, both OF
Thomson, Ga, and two grandchildren.
Thomas T. Watson was born in Co
lumbia county. Ga. IN the fall of 1856.
Ills earliest education was rather indif-
ferently acquired. Later he attended
Mercer University. but quit that institu-
ton after two years because he Lacked
funds.
He took to teaching school. studied
law, gained admission 10 the Georgia
bar in 1875. but was too much of a
partisan TO be q reliable lawyer. Once
committed to a cause he became very
near TO being a fanatic therein.
The Georgia Legislature received hin

national House of Representatives

his fury of speech and his bewilderine
political gymnastics He became an oul
and out Populist while In Congress ano

edited a journal known as the JeGer
sotsidR For years the country was pre-
pared to be informed that Tom Watson
and his JeTersoniGB had made violen
exit from this life. But Mr.. Watson sur
vived.
His return to Consress--to the Senate
was one OF the sensations Of the over.
throw OF the Wilson regime. He hated
President Wilson along with other mer
and causes. And. back in Washington
he resumed his fiery challengings anc
wild accusations He caused a furoi
ton of charges that soldiers of tht
American army In France were hanged
Wholesale, without trial or reason. TIL,
charges did not stand up, but Mr.. Wat
son almost had a fist fight with stal.
wart army majorf who was big enough
to whip Ave men of Watson's size.
Senator Watson was the author OF
several books. including The Story OF
France" which has had wide popularity
In that country.

LEWISTON, Me-. Sept. 26.--Bates Col
lcgo defeated oxford University to-
night in debate of the question RE
solved. That the United States should
at once join the League of Nations"
oxford had the affirmative and Bates
the negative, and the decision was 2
to / in favor of Bates.
The event was in the big municipal
building and the audience immense,
more than 5000 being unable TO OBJ
tain .admittance.
The decision of the judges was two to
one. reached without any consultation,
while the audience by ballot voted for
Bates 1901 to l15.
Judges OF the debate We're l.. p.
Deasy. associate justice OF the Maine
Supreme Court. Representative W. II.
White. Jr.. of Lewiston and Owen c..
Hornell. professor of government at
Bowdoin.
Both teams were given a fine re-
ception. AlarJoribanks, leader Of the
Oxonians. came in for special applause
when he crossed the platform and shook
hands with the Bates men,
Gov. Baxter welcomed the visitors
and introduced the orators. declaring
that the starting OF a series of inter-
national debates would cement friend
ship between the people of the British
Isles and OF the United States.
Edward Majoriba nks. who opened the
debate. after mentioning the fact that
his mother was an American. the former
Miss Mysse Brown of Nashville, launched
into his subject.
On Both Sides.
My ancestors on both sides" he said,
fought OH opposite sides at Saratoga"
He asked the audience to consider the
question seriously on it's own merits, ir-
respective of whether the deDaters came
from Oxford or Bates. as 1t perhaps is
the greatest problem confronting the
world to-day
There are three main points to the
question: he declared. two practical.
The frst Is the prevention Of war. the
second economic necessity and the third
on appeal TO the spiritual and higher
ideals of humankind"
Compulsory arbitration is not the
case among nations. They consider first
their own interests. International law
is at the present time the same as it
was in the time of the Druids This is
a flat contradiction in organized human
life. and that is what the League OF
Nations is seeking to overcome.
Compulsory justice has been an es-
tablished institution of civilization for
at least thousand years. The League
of Nations Is not a mild ideal. 1t Is a
militant ideal. Most disputes can be
settled by peaceful arbitration The
Monroe Doctrine was a very sound doc
trinc in Its time. 1t was developed at
time when it was important for
America to develop within its own boun-
daries. She has very successfully ac-
complished that task. Now commerce
and trade have spread all over the
world. ard that has made the world one
