The question OF construction Of holes and
courses says a foreign writer, lis one on which
the coming year will probably see considerable
change of opinion. OF late years We have been
passing through a sort of Dark or Middle Age OF
course architecture. We have never believed in
many of the modern theories and developments. "T
that they would permanently commend themselves
to golfers, and have never ceased to bewail the
ulonotony and pocrness that has fallen our golf
courses since the ideas of hole and course con-
structon came into operation
NO doubt we have been suffering from what IN
it's way was another EiHd of monotOny- namely.
the OVERRIDING of the cross hazard which was SO
characteristic OF the green architecture Of the 80
and 90 We have rusned to the opposite extreme
and abolished the cross hazard altogether. 50 that,
as we have often pointed out, man may top his
ball all the way to the hole without punishment.
and II he drives we'll me only other club he needs
his putter."

Most all the golf news, At least Of startling
character IS coming OF The West these days
The latest suggestion IS that demand should be
ne made at the annual meeting on Friday for the
United States Golf Association TO spend some Of
SIS surplus said 10 be S1,0co in offering bigger
prze for the open championship tournament, with
> view 10 attracting of the strongest profes-
eionals from abroad well providing suita
hle prize for the players here 1t is suggested
that first money be raised from $500 TO $1,000, and
the other prizes IN proportion This sounds well
enough and fair enough the face of it, but it
, must be remembered that it has taken some years
for the national association to accumulate a sur
plUs- and that the receipts for any one year do
not Justify the offering Of large a prize. 1t
would be long before the surplus depleted,
and the necessity would arise for cutting down
: onoe more There appears to he no particular
need. however. for surplus so large the one
row hand. and the proposition to raise the
{ amount OF the capital prize for the open cham
riorship 70, say, $50 is worthy of some Consjd-
GRAFTON.

TESTIMONY TAKEN
In E~yangeIine Pipe Line Company
Suit to Reduce Assessment-Case
Taken Under Amusement.

The case of the Evangeline Pipe
Line Company VS.. Assessor Albert
Trahan, Sheriff Lacoste and the Police
Jury, in the matter of reduction of as
sessment valuation of property belong
ing to the company within Lafayette
Parish, was concluded in the district
court today, and Judge Campbell took
the question under advisement. The
issue has excited not only much local
interest, but has attracted general at
tention over the state as involving
several points as to the powers of the
state board of equalization and the
assessors of the various parishes on
fixing valuations. Several suits of
similar nature are now pending in
adjoining parishes, and the outcome of
this particular case will be awaited
with much interest.

Let the People Rule.

A large number OF the prominent
citizens Of Lake Charles wanted an
election ordered to test the sentiment
Of the voters on the question of
saloons. Five hundred and fifty-nine
signed the petition and presented the
same to the city council. That body
very respectfully refused to grant the
election. The signers of the
petition are paying a large portion Of
the expense OF running the municipal
machinery and the expense of the
election asked would have been met
by them. Oficials so often forget
they are the servants Of the people
and pursue a course which charac-
terizes the misunderstanding Herald.
That is VIII wye want the right OF
recall-let the people rule.
