LEGG LEADS IN
WESTERN GOLF PLAY

Minneapolis, Mimi, July 25.-Harry G..
Legg of Minikahda led the field in the
first half of the 3e-hole qualifying round
for the western golf championship tour
nament over the fast links of the Mini
kahda club today. Legg made the Is
holes in 70--two strokes below the course
record made by Warren Wood of Home
wood on Friday. The quality of golf
displayed by the "a survivors of today $
game was superb and the best ever
shown in a western championship. The
highest to qualify was 81 and there were
several ties at those figures w. 1. How

The GA survivors of today's fast york
will play Is more holes in the qualifying
round tomorrow.
Legg's 70 was little short of phenomenal
as he had hardly any luck. He trimmed
the cup six times on puts, as he said
the outings greens were keener than he
had anticipated. His full mashie shots
were superb and his driving was brill
liant especially on the shorter holes,
where he drove to the green every time.
His only poor drive was In playing the
tenth, but he retrieved himself with
screaming brassy that put him on the
green in two He lost his chance for a
three by missing comparatively easy
putt. He took three puts on the 10th
and then holed out in a five. His best
previous performance over the new
course here was 49,

HARMED SECURES
POSSESSION OF CUP

Brookline, Mass, July 25.-William A.
Larned of Summit, N. j., national tennis
champion, in singles, won the third and
final leg of the Longwood cup today by
defeating Maurice Mclaughlin of San
Fracisco, the young member of last years
Davis cup team, three out of four sets,
60, 4-6, 81, 6-3, at the Longwood Cricket
club. Larned thus secures permanent
possession of his third Longwood cup.
Mclaughlin had played sensational
game, having put out the international
veteran, Beals C. Wright of Boston, and
1t was thought Larned would be extended
to the limit. But the veteran was seldom
forced by the youngster to show his full
strength, although the Californian out
played him in the second set. Rain
caused play to be suspended for an hour
after the third set, and when 1t was re-
sumed Larned went In and won.

Insurgents Will Try to Organ
lie The Convention
FIGHT FOR CHAIRMAN
Temnorary Organization of Convention
liz In Hands of Regulars But
They May Be Ousted BY
Insurgent Forces

Lincoln. Neb., July 25.-The principal
at the republican state convention here
tomorrow are insurgency and the con-
troll of the liquor business by the county
option plan, and from all appearances
tonight the insurgents" and "optionists
control the situation. To great extent
the two ideas are supported by the same
people, and victory for one carries
with 1t the success of the other The
temporary organization of the conven-
ton Is in the hands of the regular" anti
option wing of the party. Senator Nor
ris Brown will be temporary chairman.
That side is expected to make strong
effort tomorrow to make the temporary
organization permanent
It is believed, however, that according
to the programme an effort will be made
to suppiant the senator in the chair with
Congressman George w. Norris, whose
leadership in the fight against the So
called Cannon rules brought him into ma
tional prominence during the last reg
ular session of Congress.
1t is generally conceded that the plat
form adopted by tomorrow's convention
will pledge the party in the state to the
county option idea, but it is understood
to be the hope of those in opposition to
secure concessions on the wording of the
plank.
The Endorsement of insurgency not
only by the election of Congressman Nor
ris as permanent presiding officer of the
convention, but also by strong declara
ton in the resolutions adopted, is said
to be planned by the anti-Cannon parti-
sans

Cure for Economic Troubles

Holton, Kas., July Ex-senator A. B.
Cummins of Iowa, speaking before a
sweltering Chautauqua audience here this
afternoon, said a systematic arrange
ment of competition and that alone would
cure a mans economic troubles.
1.-THE inroads which the monopolies have
made on our industries in the last few
years." he said, have made it neces-
sary for the republican party to de-
clare just what the doctrine of protec-
ton is, solely for the purpose of intro
ducing competition. Those intrusted with
that duty have not revised the tariff as
was promised in the republican platform.
1t now becomes the true republicans duty
to explain what might have been accom-
plished had its representatives been faith
full to their trust.
What man cannot see the ills that
monopolies are bringing upon us. Take
the case of the railroads. They charged
excessive rates and accumulated a sur
plus. This they put back into the roads
in improvements and they now ask you
to pay additional interest upon this sur
plus obtained through extortionate rates.
In 10 years they added $3,5OO,00 900 to
their capitalization on betterments and
extensions without the investment of
single penny of new capital. We must
pay interest on this surplus investment"

borrowing Money for Schools

There has passed the house Of repre-
sentatives and is now pending in the
senate bill whose Importance to some
of the Georgia counties the more pros
porous ones do not realize.
1t proposes to make it lawful for the
county school commissioner in any county
where it may be necessary or desirable,
to borrow money with which to make
prompt payment to the school teachers
of the state.
Some of the counties are taking a
chance and doing this now, though they
have no authority for it, the supreme
court having decided that it was illegal.
The others, and the chief sufferers, are
afraid to attempt it, in view of the high
courts decision.
AS a concrete instance of what is in
volved, two school teachers from one of
the smaller south Georgia counties were
recently in Atlanta, and happened to
bring with them scrip" issued to them
for services rendered in March. 1910. This
scrip was payable in December, or prac-
tically nine months after the services
had been performed. The county had to
wait until then to get its money from
the state.
The two teachers took their scrip to
an Atlanta banker and asked him to cash
1t for them. He asked them why they
did not have it cashed at their home
bank They had overlooked that. He
then took it and sent it to their home
bank for them, where 1t was discounted
at 10 per cent, and 80 per cent of the
money they had actually earned by hard
service for the state was thus returned
to them.
Inquiry at the office Of the state school
commissioners develops the fact that this
is only single instance of what hap
pens to the school teachers in approx
mately one-third of the counties of the
state In other words. in about 80 coun-
ties the teachers have to wait nine
months or whereabouts for money they
have earned by the hardest kind of
work.
In the other counties, some of them,
all payments are made promptly as soon
as the service is performed. This is true
in all counties which have the system
OF local taxation for schools. 1t is also
true with some counties which have got
ten ahead of their appropriation from the
state. Still others take the chance and
borrow money while some issue scrip
bearing interest at per cent which the
banks discount at par
This situation has been called to the at
tention of the legislature annually for the
last 10 years or more, still 1t has done
nothing to relieve the situation. The pres
ent legislature is doing nothing In that
direction, and 1t Is not likely 1t will do
anything, unless 1t be to pass the bill
permitting the counties to borrow for the
purpose stated.
1t is apparent. however. that while such
law gould relieve the situation IN
way, giving the teachers their money
when it is due, 1t still piles up interest
charges on the counties that are least
able to stand 1t. and as they must pay
the interest, their educational fund must
suffer to just hat extent.
