Passing Of Quintus Watson

FORMER Sen. Quintus Watson. one Of the color
ll iigures in the political life Of Texas for a quar-
Ter OF a century, is dead at his home in the city Of
Houston He had been i'll for a year. He had un-
dergone three major operations. He had been con-
tined to his room for three months. Death called
him early Thursday morning. He was a native Tex
an. He was on the shady side Of SO. He had been
a political leader from youthful manhood. He had
been high in the councils of the democratic party.
He had been a lawrnaker and a leader in legislative
halls as well as a lawmaker.
He was a lawyer by profession. He was a student
and a thinker and conceded to be one Of the most
forceful strategists in the political and legislative
circles of Texas. He retired from the senate some
years ago. He became the legal advisor Of big oil
companies and other corporations. He was a lead
er Of the third house when the lawmakers. were
grinding under the big dome. 1t is said Of him that
ne put over more bills to his liking and put aside
more bills that he dislfked than any third house
leader Of his period.
He was widely known. His name in Texas was a
household word. He was witty, erudite. a prince of
an entertainer and men said Of him that his word
was as good as a gold bond. He never WEIGHED. lie
never whimpered. In defeat or victory he was ever
the same debonair leader among his fellows, an op-
portunist at all times and a man who never bore
malice.
There are no birds in last years nests was a pet
saying of this son Of Lee county who was generous
to a fault. in his charity and broad in his politics
and his creed.
lie was a university product as well as a finished
product OF the school Of experience and his friends
vre legion. In the year that is passing death called
Jalirs Germany and now Quintus Watson has gone
to ioin his friend and colleague on the invisible shore.
J. roes without saying that they were the leaders Of
Tire third house for many years and were history
mixers while legislative history was in the making.

holding it while she tried to decide
how much to tell.
II was human companionship. His

There was a cot and one chair

she looked him over gravely. He
had wild red hair that would not
stay put-and kind blue eyes. Like

dropped before his direct, question

Rowdy thought he had never be-
fore in his life seen so much sorrow
in a face. 1t was white as chalk,
and her eyes were dark circled and
SO weary from tears that they
seemed TO burn duly.
Her hands lay quietly In her lap
and he thought they were the
most beautiful hands he had ever

her little body was lovely in the
revealing black satin Of Kenessa's
gown.

hurt more now than she would be
able to stand up under.

be round and merry and laughing.

The Once Over
ROOD AND THE NEXT WAR
BY II. |. PHILLIPS

Copyright, 1923, by The Associated NewspaperO
President Hoover would have an international
agreement against food blockades in time Of war. He
would stop the ancient custom OF trying to starve
aciyilian populations. This is a good idea. When
a man Is deprived Of food he feels emhittered and
reyengeful. Nothing feeds a mans hatred like q
stale ~dOughnut when he Graves a sirloin steak.
On the other hand feed him plenty and he will
find it difficult to work up a good hatred against
anybody except a slow waiter or a groceryman who
delivered dried beef when the order was for roast
sucking pig.
The fatter a man gets the less he wants to fight
anybody. A knife and fork are his only natural wea-
pons, anyhow.
The thing to do to shorten a war Is to overfeed
the civilian population and the army. too. Get every
body around 200 pounds, with a 40 TO 48-inch waist
line, and no war would get beyond a few opening
skirmishes. A fat mans war would be a dismal bust
at the very beginning. The newspapers would carry
pictures and stories in the comic sections instead OF
on the front pages and that would kill h~ostiIities.
=
1t Is particularly important to overfeed rulers.
cabinet officials and first lieutenants. The kaiser
had Just taken off about 20 pounds when the World
war broke out, Gar Nicholas had been off his feed
for months, Won Hindenburg had been cutting out
pastries and the British and French cabinets we're
singularly free from double chins. That explains
everything.
No man whose tummy has begun to bulge and who
has two or more chins is ever hot for a battle. He
would much rather go to a good musical show.
President Hoover is correct In his view. but he does
mt 60 far enough. He should come out for an inter-
tional agreement to see that all warning nations get
not only lots Of food but the choicest cuts. The
armies should get oyster cocktails, a rich soup. grined
bluefish, English mutton chops, salad, coffee and
raspberry ice cream for dinner every night. Then
there couldn't be any hard feelings. The war would
wind up very early, with both sides organizing mutual
quartettes and singing, "Oh, He's a jolly Good Eel
