to his case is due to thaanprecedanted ehuftteter
of the crimoL The suggestion of a ship captain
mentioned by Mark Twain might be followed
and would end this waste of time. When his
vessel was waitng at a Pacific island until a man
was lynched, the crowd insisted upon trying the
victim, though fully resolved to hang him. The
captain wanted to see the lynching but was in a
hurry to sail, so he said: “Hang him first and
try him afterwards.”
According to official reports during our par
; ticipation in the war 2,163 Americans were cap
's tured by the Germans, while the Americans took
; 41,000 Hun prisoners, which tells about the
j whole story of comparative merits. The Huns
! found out that the American soldiers are not
! ‘•bluffers” but fighters.

THE LESSON
One of the most remarkable tributes ever
paid to a living man was paid to Henry Watter
son by the recent publication of the “Marse
Henry” edition of the Louisville Courier-Jour
nal, the paper with which he had been identified
for so many years before his retirement from
active editorial work a few months ago.
In this edition were printed affectionate tri
butes from leading men who were identified with
' his public and private life, not only in America
but in all the greatcountries in the world. All
joined in a heartfelt appreciation of the service
that Henry Watterson had rendered to the world
during the half century of his active career.
“Could any other journalist, living or dead,”
| asks Editor and Publisher, “have drawn so great
! a tribute from his contemporaries? What is
i the lesson of this career? By what magic does
Henry Watterson win and hold the affections j
even of men who may but rarely agree with his
views upon public questions?
“In the very human-ness of the man a part of
the answer may befound. In his grainedin
the-bone integrity may be found the rest.
"iNonody could imagine Henry watterson
writing anything which he did not believe. No
body could conceive Henry Watterson as an at
torney. willing to or capable of writing a brief
for either side of the controversy. Nobody has
ever found him neutral on any question affect
ing the public interest. Nobody ever had the
power to silence him.
“Thus it has happened that Marse Henry,
while often crusading for an unpopular doctrine
has never forfeited the respect and affection of
his fellow men. He has never posed as immune
from human frailties—he has never assumed in- j
tellectual infallibility. He has always been rea }
dy and eager for ‘either a fight or a footrace.’ j
“Fifty years out on the rim of battle-scarred !
but never licked—best type of American, best j
loved of newspaper men—may Marse Henry be j
long spared to a world which has learned his |
worth.”—Publisher’s Auxiliary.
