Professors on the Golf Links


There is one profession OF whose
golfing members we have made some
special study. being attracted thereto
by the curious anomalies they pre-
sent in this matter. and that is tho
teaching profession. BY universal con-
sent professors of all sorts are the
worst players to be found on the links.
So notorious is this that the follow
ing classification on the various grades
of golf has been generally accepted a.
correct, and though it has been 70
peatedly published 1t has never been
challenged by any of the unfortunate

INSURANCE FIRM
 DOES NOT FEAR SUITS
T. (. White Secures Loans On Ark. ansas Lands From the Com-
 pany He Represents.

State Senatcr-elect T. c. White re- turned yes erday from Chicago where he has been since, Tuesday of last week in attendance at the agents convention of the Security Life In- surance Company. The prime object of MT. Whites trip was to make ar engagements fer the loan of money in large sums or, improved farm lands in Arkansas. His efforts in this di- rec,ion were eminently successful as the company Mr. White represents is optimistic in regard to the Arkan- sas insurance suits now pending, hclding the belief that they will not stick. By virtue, of the favorable at ',itude of the Security Life Company, which is at variance with the policy of other leading companies, MT. White had no diff culty in negotiating the loans he desired to place. He told a Graphic representative that he saw Teddy" while in the Windy City. but did net attend the Bull Moose con- ventiOn.

Electric Road To
 Memphis, Plan
St. Louis Capitalists Are Interested and Company Will Be Or.
 ganized at Once.

St. Louis, Aug. 10-Capitaiis here have become interested in the construct, on of an electric railway to connect Little Rock and Memphis, Tenn. Sufficient capital has been raised to insure the project, and company will be organized, probably within ten days, to begin the erser- prise.
 w III. Langford of Pine Bluff, Ark, a director in the, Pine Bluff Arkansas River Railway, who also is interest cd in public utility properties in Ark ansas, was in S. Louis tonight in conference with local financiers re- garding the proposed railway. He departed late tonight for Boston to close the financial arrangements. Surveys for the proposed interurban already have been completed.
 The new line. will follow mainly the route of the Little RockMemphis line of he Rock Island by way of Lo- noke, Des Arc and Forrest City, Ark., entering Memphis over the new Sur l'ngton bridge, the federal charter for which provides for it's use by electric lines. The electric road will traverse a thickEy settled agricultural section. including the Arkansas rice district.
 The new company will be organized with an initial capital of at least $iO,- 00O,000. Owing to the overflow lards of eastern Arkansas, the construction of the line in this section will be ex- pensive.> It is estimated that the road will cost about $2S,00O mile for a distance of 40 miles out of Memphis.
 The interurban will be 13o miles long.

GOVERNOR WILSON IS DISCOURAGED Delegate From Brooklyn Tells Him of Popularity
 Of Roosevelt. GIVES HIM A HINT Nominee Makes Two Speeches at Sea Giit and Shakes Hands
 With Friends.
GIVES HIM A HINT

Sea Girt, N. J. Aug. Ex-Governor woodrow Wilson heard some plain, and not very encouraging truths to- day from the lips of Frederick w. Hlnllchs, one time candidate for lieutenant governor of New York, and member of the delegation from the Brooklyn Democratic Club which called at the little White House this afternoon.
 "Governor,' said Hinrichs," you may have noticed that Roosevelt pro- nunciatento had fascinating punch in 1t, a punch which fascinated me to the very end l am sorry to hear Roosevelt say he stands for protec- tlon, and 1 believe at heart he is for free trade. But I want to say to you, Governor, even if we forfeit this cleo tion We ought to stand for what we believe is right. I believe your speech was full of genuine Democracy but l want to warn you that, within couple of weeks, Roosevelt will have a working organizat tion behind him that will not be under the con- trol of any boss or bosses.
 Many Democrats are going to sup port Roosevelt on the ground that hitherto the American people have had little to do with their own gov ernmeht, and that it has been under the control of political machines. l believe you should emphasize over and over again how little importance attaches to bolitical organizations or machines
 Henrichs was finally silenced by other members of the delegation and Governor Wilson made a short speech to his adherents. A second speech was made to the Wilson and Marshall Club or Orange, N. J. They came one hundred strong, all shook hands with the candidate and then listened to a speech delivered from the same spo, on which he made his speech accept ing the nomination.

 Governor Rodgers, who is serving in the absence of Governor George w.

In concluding written statement, 1 denying the respite, Acting Governor Rodgers said:
 From what has been told me of this case by most respectable and | honorable citizens I have serious doubt of Rhea's guilt, but he himself has placed 1t beyond my power to grar. him the relief he asks"
