has been carefully considered. and its

public as well. namely: One the consoli-

from the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Now that the season of golf tourna
ments is fully under way it may be we'll
for the plodding searcher after swings.
as we'll as for the scoff1ng skeptic who
never has followed the elusive white
sphere over hill and dale. to pause and
consider the vital fact that the big COM
petitions do not represent the game of
golf at it's best. Golf in certain Of its
aspects reminds the observer of dogs.
There is an aristocratic race of dogs,
thoroughbreds and ingeniously crossed,
which dwell in the rarefied region OF blue
ribbons, rings and spectators. These
unfortunate beasts are cared for so thor
oughly that they have no lives of their
own, not even a dogs life. They are
nothing more than exhibits A. B and c.
set apart from the ravfshing delights OF
chasing back-fence cats. stealing bones
and battling with ours intrusive. Prize
golf players are not much better on than
these restrained dogs. These drivers and
putters in the championship class are
compelled to keep ever before them the
horrid specter of score and the relentless
observation of the golf reporter, II they
are off in their putting the world knows
it. If they top their drives the deep
scar of publicity sears their sensitive
spirits.
But. like the Airedales and the English.
bulls. they have their uses. They are
the glass of fashion and the mold of
form. They set pattern for the hum
bier brethren who never emerge from
the happy ranks of the duffer unknown
to fortune and to fame. They are the
scientifis breed, and they are needed. But
they cannot have as much fun as the
buffers. any more than king can have
as much fun as bank clerk out for a
Saturday half holiday. The golfers who
do not play in competitions. but who steal
a day off in the middle OF the week. those
comfortable business men who have not
perforce to sit in the shop every hour lest
a few tricky dollars slip through the
hands Of their subordinates, these are the
players who get the most out Of the
game. Theirs the sweet JOY of noting the
gradual disappearance Of rheumatic kinks
from the limbs. Theirs the ecstasy which
follows the unexpected flight of the long
swift ball in the precise direction OF the
hole. Theirs the calm repose Of the
MONDAY hour at the clubhouse. free from
fear as to the effect Of the generous
luncheon, free from alarm as to the re-
venge of the subtle but masterful high
ball. Theirs, too, the carefree mind that
floats over the hazards and the fair green
alike. What If one of them beats his
helpless ball into drain and takes
eleven to get out! No golf reporters pry-
ing eye observes the despairing swats; no
relentless pen makes copy of it for the
next days newspaper.

No Sectarianism in Straus.

"There was no sectarianism in Isidor
Straus," said Mr.. Lauterbach. He gave
alike to Christian and to Jew"
Senator Griffin said: Despite the fear
full disaster and it's results that have
brought here today. it is a satisfac-
ton to be able to pay tribute to virtue.
For all this means, in the last analysis, a
dreadful catastrophe is not without GER
tain softening features. 1t has brought
men of all nations and all creeds together
in a common grief and sympathy; it mas
left behind it examples of affection that
should go far in these days when our di-
vorce courts are crowded. There was
display of courage, of devotion, unequaled
in the history of the human race. The
men had a chance to die a glorious death
and give way to the women. But on that
deck stood one woman who, when she
was besought to enter the boats, said to
her husband, Where thou goest 7 go;
where thou diest / die"
DR.. Krass, the last speaker. said in
part: I'VE would place a wreath woven
Of the strands of memory upon them. To
speak of them Is a privilege; t. mention
them from the pulpit of a synagogue is q
sacred honor. So much has been said
here that words can add no more: but
one thought may have been neglected:
Judaism Is not confined to the syna-
gogue, nor to sermons and ceremonies
Judaism is bigger than all the prayer
books and all the synagogues. The life
and death of Isidor Straus have dealt a
fatal blow to anti>Semitism. He has
proved to the world what the real type
Of Jew is"

FORESEES MAD RUSH
Ex-senator Dick Deprecates
Civil Service Law Change.
PROPOSED IN HOUSE BILL
Classics Limitation of Oficia,
Tenure as Turning Back the
Hands Of Time.

The provision in the executive, legis-
lative and judicial appropriation bill as
it passed the House to limit all ap-
pointments in the classified civil service
in the District of Columbia to five years
has been discussed quite freely from
the standpoint of the employe and the
many disastrous and unfavorable re-
suits of such a law as it would affect the
clerks have been pointed out in strong
terms. according to former Senator Dick.
director Of the committee of one hundred.
What the effect would be upon the en-
ployer. which is the government, says
Mr.. Dick, is equally important. because
every taxpayer-that is, every man,
woman and child In the country-is i'm
mensely interested in efficient and
economical administration.
The merit system by executive order
has been applied in bureaus and de-
partments not included by the civil
service law, Mr.. Dick says, and the sys-
tenn has become so firmly established
We have almost forgotten any other
system ever prevailed Public senti-
ment has SO thoroughly crystallized in
condemnation Of using public office to
reward ones friends or to punish his
enemies that the mere suspicion such
a course is being pursued brings in
slant. condemnation.
Turning CLOCK HANDS Back.
The proposal at this late day to limit
all appointments in the classified service
here to term of years seems like turn
ing back the hands of the clock, he con-
tinued. In an era when progressive ideas
are triumphing it would be generally &C
cepted as return to the condemned po-
litical practices of twenty and more years
ago.
Washington has often seen what the
late ex-President Cleveland called THE
madness for spOils in finest e presence"
but the frenzied rush for Office by hordes
of hungry partisans which the city has
repeatedly seen under the spoils system
would be no worse than the spectacle
that would be seen here in 1917 on the
expiration of the first five-year term of
office, especially if there had been a
change i'm party control
OF course, it is said that this proposed
change in the law is not blow aimed at
the merit system, but such a claim will
deceive no one.
1.-The demoralizing madness for spoils'
against which Cleveland warned would be
returned worse than ever if all civil serv
ice appointments were made for term
of five years.
