The prize was awarded, as a matter of fact, for two editorials, cine published on April 7, 1917 and the -other on April 10. In both the spirit of virile, uncom promising Americanism is resplendent, and la the Watterson phrases the quick ening notes of the bugle are heard. Ev ery man who writes every man who liolds in high appreciation the beauties of English speech every man who val ues a ringing presentation of the na tional ideals will wish to preserve these historic editorials. Last of the long lins of Great Editors, hi any of his conf erers of this generation i will gladly concede to Henry Watterson first place among them all. In these editorials, as In his daily routine of writing, he combines the authority and solemnity of the Prophets of old with the clarity and polish of a modem of moderns.

(Editorial by Henry Watterson in the Louisville Courier-Journal April 7, 1917) "VAEVICTIS" 'Rally around the flag, boys" Uncle Barn's battle son; "Sound tho bold anthem! War dogs are howling; I'roud bird of Liberty scream through tho airf" - (The Hunters of Kentucky) It is with solemnity, and a touch of . sadness, that we write the familiar words of tho old refrain beneath the invocation to the starry banner, the lire ezv call of hero-breeding bombast quite gone out of them: tho glad shout of battlc;the clarion not of defiance; bocauap of us, .not ns to Nick of the Woods, and his homely co-mates of the forest, the rather as to the men of 01, corces this present call to arms. We may feel with the woman's heart of Rankin, of Montana, yet repudiate with iiKinly disdain the sentimental scru ples of'K'tchin, of North Carolina. There arc times, when feeling must be sent to tho rour; when duty must toe ths line; when the aversion brave men kavo for fighting must yield to tho ad juration, "trive.mc liberty, or give me death! " That time is upon us. Unless Fatiick Henry was wrong unless Washington and tho men of the Kovolution were wrong, that time is tipon us. It is to lie to pretond that the world is bettor than it was; that men snc trues, wiser; that war is escapable; that peace may be ftad for the plan ning and the asking. The situation which without any act of ours rises bo fore us is as exigent as that which rose fceforc the Colonists in America when a mad English lung, claiming to rule without accountability, asserted the right divine of Kings and sent an army to enforce it. A mad German Emperor, claiming partnership with God, again elevates the standard of right divine and bids the world to worship, or die. From the beginning tlw issue was not less ours than of the countries first en gaged. Each may have had ends of its own to serve. Xor were these ends pre cisely alike. At least France to whom wo ewe all that we have of soverignity and freedom and Belgium, tho little David of Notions fought to Desist in vasion, wanton, cruel invasion; to avert slavery, slavery, pitiless slavery. Yet whatever tho animating purpose what ever the 8olfinh interests of England and ISuss'ia and Italy the Kaiser scheme of world eonauest. justified it. "Mailed Figure of Absolutism." In us it sanctifies it. Why should any American split hairs oer the European right and wrong's involved when he sees before him "grim and ghastly the"' itself upon a generally accepted mailed' figuro of Absolutism with hand uplifted to strike Columbia where three years she has blood pleading for justice, peace, and mercyf od of the free heart's hope and horn? forbid! Each of these three years the Ger man. Kaiser was making war upou us. Ho was making war secretly, through lis emissaries in destruction of our i rlustries, secretly through his diplomats plotting not merely foreign, but civil war against us, and, as we now know, seeking to foment servile ami racial in surrection; then openlv upon the high seas levying murder upon our people and visiting all our rights and clain with scorn and insult with scorn and . - insult unspeakable at this moment pre tending to flonj us with ignominy and contempt. Where would the honest pas sivist draw the fine? Surely the time has arrived' many of t's think it wag long since overdue for calling the braves to the colors. Sa-;'r supplemented ana enormously in-tio-,j must e'en take stock on occasion i creased by money sent from Berlin to and manhood tome to a showdown. It maintain a propaganda to divide our s but a truism to say to. fiiiiurniiiiti Fifty years, tue country has enjoyed of the people. Twenty-five years the gospel of passivism, with "business is a business" for its text, has not only been preached indiscriminately r oracularly without let or hindrance, but has been richly financed and potentially organ ized. It has established a party. It has made a cult, justifying itself in a fad it has called Humanity in many ways a most spurious humanity and has set this above and against patriotic inclina tion and duty. "The Assassin Sea Monsters." Like a bolt out of the bine flashed the war signal from the very heart of Eu rojv?. -Across the Atlantic its reverbera tions rolled to find us divided, neutral, ami unprepared. For fifteen rears a bndv of (iernian reservists disguised as citizens have been marching auj coiin ter-marehing. They grew at length bold enough to rally to tho support of a panOennan scheme of conquest and a pro-German propaganda of "kultur," basing its effrontery in the German American Tote, which began its ngita tion by threatening us with civil war if we uar.'d to go to war with Germany der. All the while wo looked on with either simpering idiocy, or. dazed apathy. Ser via, It was no affair of ours. Belgium! Why should we worry. Foodstuffs soaring war stuffs roaring everybody making money the mercernar, tho poor of heart, the mean of spirit, the bleak and barren of soul, could still plead the Hypocrisy of Uplift aud chortle: "1 did not raise my boy to be a soldier," Ev,en (ho "Lusitania" did not awaken us to a sense of danger and arouse us from the stupifieatiou of ignorant and ignoble self complacency, - "To the Flag and the Fray." . First of all on bended knee we should pray God to forgive us. Then eject as uvn, Christian men, soldierly men, to the flag and the fray wherever they lead us over the ocean, through France to Flanders across' tho Low Countries to Kola, Bonn, and Koblens tumbling the fortress, of Ehrenbreitstein into the Rhine as we pass aud damming the mouth of the Mozelle with the debris of the ruin we wake of it then on, fin to Berlin, the Black Horse Cavalry sweeping the Wilhelinstrasse like lava down the mountain side,, the Jifpnker and the sabro rattler flying before us, the tunes being " Dixie" and "Yankee Poodle," the cry being "Hail the French Republic; Hail the Republic of Russia welcome the Coinmonw,'.'alth of the Voterlnnd no peace with the Kai ser no parley with Autocracy, Absoluti ism, and the divine right of King? to Hell with the Hapsburg and the Uoheu zollern!" (Editorial by Mr. Wattersen in the Courier-Journal, April 10,1917.) WAR HAS ITS COMPENSATIONS. . The man who is for peace at any price who will fight on no provocation for no cause is apt to be either what men coll "a poor creature", or an impostor set on by ulterior considerations. He may have an unworthy motive, or a selfish interest, or he may be a victim of the coward's fear of battle,-or be obses.-cd by the doctriuario's theory of universal brotherhood. But, craven or crank, or scheming rogu?, ho dishonors the noblo heritage of manhood which, being common to us all, is 5nly prized and extolled in conspicuous cases, of sacrifice, or prowess. , I'afieisin, as it has shown itself in these times of emergency, has been compounded of each of these ingre dients. But it would not have shown itself so strong if if had not been definitely organized, nor definitely or ganized if it had not been sufficiently iiuauevd. The Hague Arbitration move meat, backed in this country by the Carnegie Foundation actually started by the dethroned Czar of Russia -proposed a benefaction to humankind which few if any were disposed to question. It truth. The gospel of "peace on Mith, good-will to men," was preached as nev er before. Professional warriors arrayed themselves in its behalf. Civilized na tions flocked to the new religion aud raised the benign standard. Many treaties embodying its aimg were nego tiated. One, and one alone, of the great Powers held oat. That was Germany. Why, we now see clearly what we then did not sec at all. "A Propaganda to Divide Cur People." How much, if any, of the Carnegie Foundation money has been applied to .the recent agitations against war with ! . ... I . T1.A n.tMiihAli Germany, we know not. The activities of Mr. Bryan and of IT. Jordan would lead to the conclusion that it has not !)cen idle, or grudging, since neither of them work for nothing. But it is quite ertain that it has been cunning- people and paralyze our Government, T TTTttTTTTt HIIIIll lillilll MtHttltH r Tho riroscc.uti.in nf thi nnw Wm treason and the pacifist who adhxn to. it is- a traitor. The conspirator who, claiming to be pacifist, engaged in the nefarious busine.-s will be at no loss to save his skin. If he be a German emissary sent over for the purpos; he has only to slip away, it lie ue a Kaiser reservist mas querading as an American citizen, he can shift his foot and cjiango his eoat If he be a selfish politician of the Stone- La toilette variety, with an eye on the Hyphenated rote, he can wink his oth er eye, hoist the flag, aud sing "Tho Stan-Spangled Banenr" as lustilv as the rest. "They Will Net Stop Until They Laud in Jail." Those who are most ii danger and only in danger are the honest simple tons who 'stick to it that war is crime; that we have no case against Germany, but, if we have, that it .will keep; who go around mouthing socialist and infi delistie platitude's about a paradisaic dreamland which exists nowhere out side their muddled brains. They cau not see that we have pursued peace to the limit aud that peace longer pursued will prove more costly than "war. Per verse and egotistical, prompted by tho half truths of defective education, unin spired by ideals having any relation to the state of the country, or the spir itual needs of existence, they will not stop their vain ehatter until, obstruct ing enlistments or menacing public works, they land in jail. If is grievous that this should be so. Yet it were not occasion for serious comment except that there it a middle class of nondescripts who are more numerous than an earnest and luminous patriotism would have them; men, who were born without enthusiasm and have lived to make money; men, with whom "business is business" man who are indifferent to what happens so it does not happcu to them; in short, men who recall the citation from "Tho Cricket on the Hearth' put into the mouth of Caleb riummer: 'There was a jolly miller and ho liv ed upon the Dee. He sang to himself, 'I care for no body and nobody cares for me," 'a most equivocal joltity," as Dickens. docs not fail to remark "They Need a Lesson." These people have sprung from tho over-commercialism of fifty years of a kind of uncanny prosperity. Their ex ample has affected injuriously the na tion's reputation and has trenched per ilously upon tlue character and habits of tho people. It needs to be checked. They need a lesson. Nothing short of the dire exigencies which have come upou us would reach a mass so douse and stoic, so paltry and sordid, so un worthy of the blessings which the hero ism of the fathers has secured them. That check and lesson they are about to receive. War is not wholly without its compensations. The woman who is for peace at any prins whose imagination 'is filled with the horror of war who, true to her na ture, shrinks from bloodshed is not as tho man who skulks from the Hue and lowers like the flag of his country and his manhood. Ah no! Peace is the glory of woman. Not upon the soul- stirring field of battle the rather in the dread field hospital after the battle are her trophies to be found. Well may she stand out against the strife of nations yet equally with brave men the has her place in the orbit of duty and valor and, when there is no rt'ace, when war has eome, the wo man who whines, "I did not raise my boy to be a soldier" forfeits her right and claim to be considered only a little lower than the angels, dishonors the genius of Womanhood, ond removes her self from the company and category of the heroic mothers of the world. 'War Throws a New Light Upon Lifs" War, horrible as war Is "Hell," as a great warrior said it was is not with out its compensations. No man, has more than one time to die. In bringing the realization of death nearer to- us, war throws a new light upon life. The soldier is a picked man. Whether he be a soldier ia arms, or a Soldier of the cross, his courage, hii loyalty, his love and faith challenge the confidence of men and adoration of women. If he falls he has paid his mortal debt with honor. If he survives, though crippled, he is not disabled. His crutch tells its own story and carries its mute appeal, and there is eloquence, though silent, resistless, in an empty sleeve. Christendom stands face to face with the dispersion of some of its cherished ideals. Although this will arous3 the theologians, they will have to meet it. "Has Corns to Cleans the Earth." i Where this present cataclysm will' leave us, no man can forgce. Our world is, and will r.?maln, a world of sin, dis ease, aud death. This no man can deny. Science is minimizing disease. Death being certain, can erceds or statutes ex tirpate sin? Can they change the na ture of man? Before all else they mnst chasten it. For two thousand years theologie eon troversy has not only kept the world at I war, but has driven itr inhabitants far ther aport. It may lie that this wprl war has come to cleansa the earth aud to bring all tribes and races to better understanding of what Christendom is, since there is no reason to doubt that the essential principles of Christianity will contoinuo to dominate the univers?. ' Tis a long way, we are told, to the Tipperary of Hibornia, but yet a longer to th Miilcsial Tipperary of Scriptural mythology. Tho Christ-child must be born again in the heart of man. At this muic-ut it is not the star of Bethlehem that shines. It is the luminary of the war god. The duruis beat as" for the men of old.
