RuMpTrous BILLS LOVE FOR AMERICA.

If anybody accepts Kaiser Wilhelms protesations of
love for America for anything serious than the
froh he blows from his stein they fooled by
just so much The bumptious Bill hates America, first
because people proved that there such thing
as a divine right nhering a crown the fellow who

America because as government by the peo-
pie is richer than other nation the earth Again
this ruler who was born because he could not help it,
hates America because while its standing found
in shops fields supporting itself it has
been whipped and because this standing army rapidly
dominating the commerce of the world Speaking of
Germanys love for America who has forgotten Incl

call down Admiral Dietrich The intention to knock
Dewey out and dspossess America Of the Philippines.
then there was the Samoan episode Later the

every shot of which aimed the doctrine America
for Americans. And last the dispatches of the past
week point the fact that notwithstanding the settle

government is pushing into another part of South
America.
While America a whole has been very tolerant and
President Roosevelt and his administration very patient
there has been no trouble in correctly estimating the

TILLMAN WILL NOT BE HANGED.
M. M. MURDOCH, Editor.


The average American citizen is not proud of South
Carolina If has ever been a commonwealth of buffers
and bues There are some good in South Carolina,
hut they are mostly negroes Bully Brooks who assaulted
Charles Sumner on the of the United States senate
with heavy cane Pitchfork Tllman that states pres
en representative in the United States senate and his
nephew who gained first notoriety by attempting to
grossly insult President Roosevelt and who later made
himself solid with the majority element of that boastfu
state by shooting down in cold blood, editor who
dared to him for the insult alluded to- are the
really representative ruling element of South
Carolina. The opening of secession was hred from
the sea wall of its principal city while the women OF
Charleston holiday attire paraded up and down behind
the guns neither the guns ammunition being the

have been the only president who fathomed or really cor

the editor of the Charleston NewsCouer murdered
for expressing convictions not many years
ago. and his murderer went unhung. Human life has
always been cheap in that deectabe state of
revoutionists nonconformists and Tillman is too
much ideal and idol to be permitted to stretch hemp
with his aristocratic neck his only oense being the
shooting down editor for telling the truth about
him South Carolina has been normal American
community It's dream has of arstocracy and slay-
cry The state needs discipline and just much today
as when Andrew threatened to hang the flower
of its chivalry when Sherman whrled through her

SPORTING NOTES

George Wright, the greatest all-round'
baseball player of his day and an ever
lasting credit to the game, says this
about the contract jumper: The con-
tract jumper will contaminate any club
or community, and there is no place
on earth where his weakness will be
played upon more than in New York.
| blush for the old game where the con-
tract jumper is welcomed"
Another old-timer wants to get into
baseball again, not as a player, but as
umpire. Hardie Henderson, the fast
but erratic pitcher, has applied for a
position on the National League stan.
Joe Cantilion says that Pitcher Bill
Donovan, Of Brooklyn, is developing
excellent ability as a second baseman.
Herman Long wants to stay in Bos-
ton and has petitioned Jimmy Collins

TO CHANGE HANDICAPS
Methods viii Undergo Changes Be-
fore the Spring


A movement is under way among the
committeeman of the Metropolitan Golf
Association and the New Jersey State
Golf Association that is OF interest to
the Western and all associations that
prepare d general handicap list These
lists are prepared from data furnished
by the secretaries Of the clubs in each
association, modified by what the hand
icappers know OF the different links,
the value OF the bogey scores and the
skill OF the individual players, and the
change suggested is that the bogey
score be done away with as a factor in
club handicapping and a uniform par
score be adopted instead to be the
standard at all the clubs in fixing the
ratings. The idea originated with
LioI 4. Graham, president OF the
New Jersey Golf Association and also
one of its handicappers, and he has
submitted Il to w. J. Travis, Adrain II.
Larkln, chairman OF the NJ. G. A.
Handicap Committee, and TO many
others who have all expressed favor
able opinion OF the plan. The plan
will be brought up at the annual meet
ings of the two associations, for adop-
ton or rejection by the delegates.
Mr. Graham did not feel at liberty to
give out the par schedule he has pre-
pared and the details OF the plan In
full until he had submitted Il TO the
Executive Committee Of the New Jer-
sey Golf Association, but others who
had heard Of the proposed changes
spoke about them freely yesterday. and
as a rule in their favor. All who have
had anything to do with the general
handicapping united in saying that the
bogey score Is cause Of trouble and
that the work would be slmplified by
the substitution of a par score, IL the
many clubs concerned. may be induced
to agree on a standard.
A point that should help the idea
along is that the difference between
bogey and par golf is now we'll under
stood at all golf clubs. The bogey is
a score representing the average OF a
clubs players, but par golf, allowing
two strokes on each green. is based
on perfect play from the tee and
through the green, by which the maxi
mum Of distance is gained with each
club. A bogey may be anything, ac-
cording to the skill OF those who fix Il.
but par is an arbitrary standard Of per-
fection. A hole that can be reached in
two full shots is a par four, but il is
often a bogey FIVE.
An attempt to establish a standard
scratch score" was made nv the Fxecn-
tive Committee Of the u. S. G. A. Just
before the annual meeting OF 1897. II
was coupled with the suggestion that
only players rated at six or lower from
this standard score should be permit
ted to play in the amateur champion
ships. This clause, although on II. J.
Whigham's motion the limit was raised
to fifteen, led to the voting down OF the
entire suggestion. In the opinion Of
some OF the delegates il was unfair to
attempt to establish standard score
based on distances. without allowing

for the nature Of the hazards. They
said It might do in Scotland, but would
not work in the United States, an
argument possibly justified by the con-
dition Of some of the links at that
time. The u. S. G. A. standard was
three on holes up to 165 yards; four
on holes from 165 to $40 yards; five on
holes from $40 to $50 yards, and six ON
holes over 450 yards The foundation
was an average OF 1S0 yards for the full
shot. This average since the coming
In OF the rubber-cored balls, is no
longer accepted as the unit in such cal
culations. Possibly 200 yards may be
accepted as the new average.
