Managing Caddies.
From the New York Sun.

In country golf clubs the caddies are
mostly boys from twelve to sixteen years
old who attend school and may give I'M
restricted attention to carrying clubs only
after their hours OF study and on holi-
days. The trouble in the employment OF
such boys is to prevent them from play
ing truant to increase their earnings
This Is adjusted readily with the school
principals or the truant officers on a give
and take basis. The authorities are US
ually willing that the boys shall work un-
molested when the club In holding its
annual tournament. The general plan il
not TO employ caddies Sunday unless they
are permitted to work by their parents
on that day. At courses adjacent to
cities or large towns the caddies are re-
cruited from a less staple population and
the age limit is higher A harassing
element Is the presence of youths who
shirk better paid but more arduous en-
ployment. The city-bred caddies are even
harder to control. method that IL ef-
fective Is to place the boys on stated
weekly wages and to divide them into
two classes. the rating and amount OF
pay being dependent on the value OF the
service rendered.

to class A and an increased wage, and
for poor service the rule works the other
way. The real merit of the plan 10 that

before the executive committee Of the
Chamber Of Commerce by j. NJ. Berger
Of New York at a special meeting called
for tomorrow at noon.
Mr.. Berger, who himself is much in
terested In aviation and owns two ma
chimes, will ask the chamber for its In
dorsement OF the plan 10 hold an aviation
meet and its hearty cooperation In max
ing the event a success. 1t is understood
however. that he will not make an ap-

Washington for the meet. and expects To
have about thirty machines here.
This is a different proposal from that OF
the Aero Scientific Club, which is nov
arranging for a meet of amateur aviators
at College Park during October. The
Chamber of Commerce does not yet know
any of the details of Mr.. Berger's pro
posal. II Is expected that f. H. Young

will be present at the meeting, and there
IS possibility that the two meets may

Federal Control Illegal.

1.-THE attempted federal control OF
water powers is illegal, because the use
OF the waters within a state is the prop
erty of the state, and cannot be taken
from it. and that the state may and
actually does. in the case of Idaho, for
example, perfectly safeguard its water
powers from monopoly and make them
useful without extortion has been shown
conclusively by Senator Borah I'm a
speech in the United States Senate. in
which this whole subject is admirably
covered. Ought the public domain be
administered by the government and dis
posed of for it's profit. or opened to the
people and shared with the states? Let
experience determine which was the bet
ter guardian. The worst scandals of
state land misrepresentation, and there
were many, are insignificant when COM
pared with the record OF the nation.
There remains an opportunity and a
need of conservation transcending in
value all others combined. The soil is
the ultimate employer of all industry
and the greatest source of all wealth.
IL is the universal banker. Upon the
maintenance unimpaired in quantity and
quality of the tillable area or the coun-
try its whole future is conditioned"

LONDON, August s
Foreign Correspondence Of The star.


LONDON, August 80. 1910.
There are many apostles of strange
creeds IN London. and the very latest
20 claim respectful attention is the
apostle of Amen Ra, the god behind
the flaming SUM- who has taken a large
room in Crawford street, Bsyanston
square. and is preparing TO astonish the
byways Of the West End with mysteri-
Gus words and more mysterious deeds.
The apostle of Amen Ra is a tall, dark.
thin young man, who wears a Ions
scarlet robe when he holds forth upon
strange texts out of a strange volume
which is called the Book Of the Soul. His
gospel is the restoration of Pantheism
and the old English religion" and he
has come TO the West End ito continue
the work of Penda, English King OF
Mercia (middle England). who died in
battle on the river Aire, in Yorkshire,
in the year 655."
The new evangelist'S name is Ernest
Maryon. He has a powerful magic
lantern and a flaming banner, a rep
resentation of the wonderful white
horse which King Penda rode to VIC
tory when he killed Mercias peaceful
Maryon is building an altar in Craw-
ford street. wherein will stand a winged
disc OF cOpper-the emblem OF the soul.
II is all very wonderful, and very in
comprehensive But out of the amaz-
ing tangle of ritual woven by Mr..
Maryon il is possible to sift a few
grains Of practical ministration. He

mals-and birds in particular.
The souls OF the past dead, he says.
live again in the London sparrows, and
suffer again with the London bus
horse. FOR some years he has been
trying to get new Pantheists to sub
scribe E2.500 for the building of a hall
in London. where the work of King
Penda may be carried on. When this
hall materializes II will be crowned
with a tower sacred TO the pigeons and
the sparrows.

caddies no longer labor only when their
pockets are empty. They become wage
earners with definite responsibilities. The
boys get their money in a lump sum on
pay day and IL seems better worth saw
ing than when they are paid by the job
with often a long interval between Jobs
Clubs that have tried this plan do not
readily abandon II. Unsatisfactory cad
dies are soon replaced by boys anxious
to give good service. The club Is repaid
too. beyond the increased efficiency Of its

this country the caddies OF today IL they
do not care to become club makers or
professionals after a spell Of wage earn

amateurs of the future. The transition
is easy for the country-bred caddie boys.
The clubs near cities may smooth the way
for their caddies by teaching them self
respect. thrift and ambition through the
restrictions put on the occupation.

ago. So faulty has been the adjustment

Land Charge Prohibitive.

These projects. in widely separated
localities, entail a land charge prohibitive
to the frontier settlers TO provide homes
for those for whom this work was be-
lieved TO have been undertaken. The
pioneer settler who can pay, even in ten
annual instalments. from 8, 500 TO $4,000
for eighty acres of land, In addition to
the yearly fee per acre. must have some
other resources to aid him. The work of
irrigation would have been more cheaply
done II turned over to private enterprise
or committed to the several states within
which lie the lands to be reclaimed. This
Is not criticism upon any individual. II
Is merely one more proof of the excessive
cost OF government work.
Toward the conservation of our min
eral resources little can be done by fed
erai action. The output is determined
not by the mine owner. but by the con-
sumner. The withdrawal Of vast areas of
supposed coal lands tends to increase
price by restricting the area of possible
supply. II Is foolish to talk Of leasing
coal lands in small quantities in order to
prevent monopoly. Mining must be car
ried on upon large enough scale to be
commercially possible. The people Of the
west see little practical difference be-
tween a resource withheld entirely from
use and a resource dissipated or ex-
hausted. They understand by conserva-
ton the most economical development
and best care OF resources.
