Senator Thomas E. Watson

N the death of Senator Thomas e. Wat
son there has vanished from the stage
Of Georgia history a singularIy pictur-
esque and potent figure. His career began
ere he was fairly out of his teens, and ran
in stressful tides to this far autumn of its
ebbing. Ever a fighter, he found the years
ringing with blows that he took and gave
and SCARED with many bitter field. Strong
were his friendships, strong his feuds His
veteran followers adored him; his antago-
nists never forgot; but today the heads of
all are bowed at news of the old war
rior's going.
personality like Mr.. Watson's invariably
leaves keen impress, whether of amty or of
enmity, upon all that it touches Had he
lived in the most tranquil times, when poll
tics moved leisurely along beaten paths still
he would have evoked intense reactions. But
his lines were cast in an age of upheaval and
change, when the politics of state and ma
ton alike stirred with issues which of their
very nature, set the coolest pulses beating
high. Is it to be wondered that in such an
atmosphere a temperament like his grew to
be what it was, winning the warmeSt Of
friends and the most rigorous OF foes? sack
in the strenuous eighteen nineties, during the
battles of POpulism and Democracy the
story, of which, even yet, perhaps cannot be
quite impartially told, he met with what he
deemed to be unfairness in electoral counts;
and Warranted or not, his belief became a
spring of bitterness, but for which the after
years might have flowed far more amicably.
Be it now remembered in the silence that
death speaks to human striving, that ii he
was the source or center of much discord
he was also the autLor of that goodly legis-
lation from which has grown the rural free
delivery of mails, blessing today every coun-
tryside beneath the flag.
Mr.. Watsons distinction does not rest,
however, upon his political career alone, but
finds it's happiest, its most abiding form in
the fruitage Of his pen. In the STORY of
France in the Life of NapoIeon," in the
pathos and humor of "Bethany,' in the bril-
liantly told lives of Thomas Jefferson and
Old Hickory, his talents flourished to their
true harvest, and his mind found the recon-
pense of what must have been it's deepest
love- His histories are not free from error
and bias but they bri1n with the heart and
color of human life They are the work of
one who felt the past-and feeling, in schol-
arship, is a rarer, greater gift than know
ing. By these shining pages will he re
remembered after the politics Of yesterday
and today have faded into what may be the
less feverish, but not less fitful politics O.
tomorrow. And from those serener years
his spirit well may ask this boon,
Speak of me as l am; nothing ex-
tenuate,
Nor set down aught IN malice.
