Big Prize List.

A long list Of prizes has been Sc
lected for the winners of the differ
ent events. Anticipating one of the
largest entry lists that ever played in
tournament in any state event, the
committee has selected valuable and
prizes follow the established custom,
but the prize for the junior event has
been made a gold watch This will be
contested for by the youths of the
tournament, players under 10 years of
age
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1911-06-07

Under this system, If the men with
the low qualifying score are also good
match players, the winner Of the first
day will meet man who was eight
places away from him in the qualify
ing round, the second day. four, while
one and two will meet In the finals.
This system obviates the luck of the
draw, which sometimes places the
most of the good players in one half
and the players not so good In the
other half of the draw.

GOLF TOURNEY
FOR STATE TITLE
Big Iowa Event VIII be Played ovet
Two Course In Dec MoInes
During Last Week Of
This Month.
NEW PAIRING SYSTEM
Those Who Qualify with Low Scores
VIII Not be punched and Luck
Draws Are Thus
Eliminated.

Everybody in Dies Moines will be
golf mad the last week in this month,
when the annual tournament Of the
Iowa Golf Association will be held on
the links Of the Waveland and the
Golf and Country clubs, comprising
thirty-six holes. It Is expected that at
least four Keokuk golfers will par
ticipate in the weeks play.
Playing over the two links will be
the largest possible test of the golf
er's skill. 1t has been argued in the
past that playing over the two with
their different conditions would mill
tate against the good golfers, but at
the present time the state association
is in the hands of men who are seek
ing the development of the best golf
ers. The changing conditions will
bring out the resourcefulness of the
players and will eliminate the men
who can meet only one set OF golf
conditions. The play will also be more
adaptable to the out of town men,
who will find in one of the two
courses something near the conditions
they meet with on their own links.
New Pairing System.
In addition to being the first time
that tournament has been played
over thirty-six holes, the present tour
nament will be the first state affair
In which the pairings will be made &C
cording to the qualifying play of the
contestants. The pairing system of
the Western Golf association was
adopted at the last meeting OF the
Iowa association, and while it will be
used in the city tournament, it will
be used for the first time in the state
tournament also this year. BY this
system each one of the first sixteen
men will be paired In the first round
,, with the man whose score places him
sixteen places below him. The pair
| ng by numbers follows, No. being
the winner of low score and No. 80

ACTOR MAKES PLEA
FOR BETTER VOICES
Otis Skinner Deplores Neg.
lect of Elocution on
American Stage.

THE greatest fault with our romantic
American actors is their lack of we'll
modulated and cultivated speaking
voices
This opinion comes from Otis Skinner,
generally regarded as one Of the leading
exponents of blank verse and poetic die
tion on the American stage.
Mr.. Skinner, who comes to the Ma
tional next week in Sire" a new ro-
mantle play, makes an urgent plea in a
recent interview for more training of
the speaking voice and for more atten-
ton on the part of actors to eIocution.
Nothing as quickly and unmistakably
distinguishes a well-bred man or woman
from those of plebeian birth or education
as the speaking voice and the carriage,
two most essential points to cultivate
and the two which are almost univer-
sally neglected in this country" the ac-
tor said.
1T is not SO in England and France,
where even in humble life the voices
are not only naturally more musical than
those found in America, but they are
so in consequence of training and cul-
tivation. One uses the speaking voice
almost continuously, so why should II
not be trained to be as musical as possi-
BILE. since a sweet, low voice is consid-
cred power? So much time and atten-
tion are given TO the singing voice,
which is used only upon occasions,
which, of course, is to be ENCOURAGED
and commended, but If one cannot cuI-
tiyate both let the preference always
be given to the speaking voice, that
ones enunciatiop, articulation, and res
piration, as we'll as the proper pitch of
the voice. may be regulated and gov
erned according to the most approved
methods. Then ones convictions will
be found to carry great weight,

PROOF THAT TELEPHONE
REGULATION IS NEEDED.

The strongest possible argument fol
statutory regulation of rates for com
mercial telephones in the District is
offered by the fact that at present we
haven't line of law on this subject.
Rates for residence telephones are
fixed by statute, but rates for tele-
phones used in places of business may
be whatever the company DEGREES.
In 1898 a law was enacted fixing
maximum rates for all telephones, but
the company fought it in the courts
and succeeded in having it declared
unconstitutional In 1904 another
law was enacted, fixing maximum rates
for residence telephones. This was
accepted by the company, which has
since reduced its residence telephone
rates to a point below that fixed by
law.
But commercial telephone rates con-
tinue to be what the traffic will
bear" Only one feeble attempt has
ever been made to regulate them and
that failed.
This spectacle-a monopoly render
ing public service with absolutely no
legal restriction as to rates-is pre-
sented in the year of our Lord 1911,
when it was supposed that the policy
of just regulation of public utility
companies had become orthodox doc
trine in every city and hamlet in the
country.
The question whether the rates for
commercial telephones are as low as
they can be in fairness to the COM
pany sinks to position of minor impor-
tance That can be ascertained, and
given due consideration when the law
fixing rates is framed. That such a

Will Place Libraries
In More Poor Homes

More family libraries are to be placed
in the individual homes of the poor of
Washington. That was decided at a
meeting of the Associated Charities in
the Public Library yesterday afternoon.
when Miss c. W. Herbert told of the re-
suits obtained through the educational
system that has been inaugurated. The
plan of putting bookcase. containing
twenty or twenty-five volumes. in the
home, is proving popular, and the vol
unteers who go into the home and in
terest the children in good reading
were especially enthusiastic.
Before the regular business of the
afternoon was taken up the women en-
joyed a social hour, during which
waters and tea were served.

THIS MAN WOULD NOMINATE
BY MAIL.

James L. Cowles, of New York CITY
who informs us that he is secretary o.
the Postal Progress League, at u;
East Twenty-third street, finds caus,
for rejoicing in the unique manner il
which a Democratic committee selected
the Democratic Progressive candidate
for governor of Massachusetts,. Secre
tary Cowles believes that United States
Senators should and could be nomi
mated by registered mail and that the
scheme is perfectly practicable. He
says in part:
The recent nomination of Mr.. Foss
as the candidate of the Democratic
party for the governership of Massa-
chusetts, by registered mail, proved a
perfect success. Except for the adop-
ton of this method of determining the
Democratic candidate in October last,
the chances are that the railway ruler
who has long dominated the political
and industrial life of all New England
would have been the real governor of
Massachusetts today, whichever of the
two political parties might have carried
the State in November.
Mr.. Cowles is not quite accurate in
his statements of fact. A committee
of five minus one, to which had been
referred the nomination of a candidate
for governor, after the Democratic
State convention neglected to nominate
one, decided to resort to mail can
vass of the delegates. Mr.. Foss got
the better of that method, and he was,
therefore, placed in nomination by the
committee of five minus one, which
had undertaken the canvass.
The voters, did not nominate Mr..
Foss by mail. They elected him in
the old-fashioned manner, and they
are going to get their moneys worth
of entertainment.

Hens Are Not Birds
Customs Court HOLDS

According to the Customs Coart of APP
peals, p hen is not bird, and Sl egg
is always an egg.
This decision was the outcome OF an
attempt to evade the customs laws,
under a paragraph which provides that
birds eggs shall be admitted free.
When the court had decided the status
of a hen. the importers clatSled that
as the eggs were shelled and in cans,
they should be admitted as albumen.
Then the court defined an ego
