human interest story of vital power
was brought to a large audience in the
First Baptist church Wednesday even
ing, when Judge Ben b. Lindsey, Judge
of the Denver juvenile court and a friend
of the children, closed the entertainment
course under the auspices of the young
women of the Baptist and Congregation
al churches. Being a man of national
reputation, Judge Lindsey attracted an
audience that filed the church. in spite
OF unfavorable weather, and his message
stirred his hearers to a keen realization
of the unjust attitude which society
takes toward the boys who do wrong.
He was applauded vigorously as he
brought out some great truth with
striking force.

speaker, saying that 1t would profit us
If what Judge Lindsey said touched
sore spot and stirred up the lethargy of
our own community. Judge Lindsey
spoke from the standpoint of intimate
acquaintance with that type Of boy who
most annoys the police department, and
his story was one of interesting personal

figured prominently. 1t was a plea for

Of loyalty and will not "snitch," or tell

concern ourselves with the boy rather
than the things he does, Judge Lindsey
has appealed to the boys sense of honor
and has trusted them instead Of trying
to govern them by fear, and the result
has been a revelation. The new justice
puts love into the law, and 1t is the
new justice that Judge Lindsey is deal

was adopted, not one ever has been lost

investigation in which the ina chine"
was arrayed against Judge Lindsey and
his system, Judge Lindsey winning out
through evidence furnished by Mickey"
and his companions.

GOLF INTEREST

Open Meets Attracting More At

New Yrok. Aug. There is never
the same interest shown IN the open
golf championship of the United States
as there is i'm the open" IA the Brit
ish Isles. ON this side o. the watoi
the amateur is far and away the lead
ing tournament and the professionals
themselves do not display the Keen
ness for the open that might be ex-
pected.
1t looks. however, as If this year the
open will be more popular Buffalo Is
a fairly central place for the cham
pionship. II will undoubtedly attract
the professionals from the Chicago dis
trict, st. Louis and other golf centers
of the middle west, as we'll as those
from the east so that az far as the
number of entries goes the cominc
championship should be oEo Of the best
or record.
There are several reasons TO account
for In eseeming dihidence of the pre-
fessicnals in the national open title
tournament The professionals on this
side Of the water have not nearly SO
much time to give 20 competition as
their brethren on the other side. the

mcnts arc ever SO much greater; there
are more beginners in golf and Other
club members who make demands upon

But the rising generation OF Amcri

from the ranks Of the caddies, is be
ginning to make ltsc,f felt ,nd to in
crease the interest IN, the NATIONAL an6

golfers like Mcnamara, Brady an,

cope successfully with the profession
ais who have come here from The Brit

see this spirit exhibited to marked
