PRESIDENT 7 0
SHOW UP"
ENEMIES

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 2.
President Wilson believes that
certain "jingoistic" congressman
are. seeking the limelight by en-
barrassing his efforts to restore
peace in Mexico. 1t was report
ed today that unless these con-
gressmen change their methods
Immediately the president would
issue public statements fixing the
responsibility.
Recurrence of the suggestion
that the embargo on arms should
be removed is complicating the
situation. lingo utterances ok
several senators and representa-
tives, 1t is said. are encouraging
the rebel leaders.
The extent of the senate's au-
thority in demanding from the
state department information
which the department does mo-
wish to disclose will be de.
termined Monday when the Fall
resolution concerning the out.
RACES will be considered. The
Fall resolution demands the
names and location of Americans
imprisoned, injured or robbed in
Mexico and their financial losses.

mayor mournfully this morning.
Later Developments showed the
party had had several miles of
clambering down the bed of
East Green river. In which the
mayor took a fine headforemost
plunge when his cedar staff
broke.
DR.. James, the mayor insisted,

grooming and reluctance than was
ever shown by a mule, but he
came down like racehorse when
he saw hope of getting back to
civilization.

trust you get me? There are
tricks in every trade, and writers
are as tricky as any. Thus hav-
ing neatly caught you interest by
clever figure of speech. plunge
into my subject.
Golf is not game. It is pas
time. l have talked with James
M. Barnes, the Country club :
professional. and he agrees with
me.
Tennis Is a game. So is base
ball. When you play tennis you
can't quit until you have played a
set. When you play baseball you
can't quit until you have played
nine innings.
But, In golf. II you don't feel
up to playing the entire Is holes
you can play nine, or six. In golf
there ia nothing sinful or un-
sportsmanlike in quitting when
you feel like it.
You are at liberty to quit and
return to the clubhouse and
drink a claret lemonade.
Golf is an ancient pastimc-
ancient and honorable. The Scotch
invented it. 1t Is popular with
the English because It enables
them to dawdle. The English ex-
cell in all dawdling pastimes.
There is this curious difference
between golf and cricket as play
ed by the English: They drink
tea with cricket and Scotch and
soda with golf.
Personally, question that golf
is an honorable pastime. 1t is
filed with pitfalls for the feet of
the weak and unwary. And, more
over. it is patronized by a MOTOR
ious old cheat and scoundrel
known to all golfers as Colonel
Bogy. The colonel is a cnsistent.
though never brilliant. performer.
His score at the Country club
is 70. Barnes has gone round
the course in 65. The colonel Is
such a mediocre performer that
all the senior members-theb rok-
ers, and the BANKERS, and the
merchants, and the real estaters,
who have passed the heyday o.
youth-would give their souls to
beat him. But they seldom do.
They hint that the colonel
cheats. No one ever seen him go
round in 70. He returns to the
clubhouse with his card all nicely
and properly marked.

The colonel is an old bore.
Old? He and golf are twins. He
butts into every game. No mat
ter whether you want to play a
twosy twosome with a pretty girl
or chubby foursome with your
friends, the colonel always trails
along.
And no matter how erratic your
game may be. the colonel plods
along and finishes in 70.
It's irritating. You wish old
Bogy would blow up. Such even,
consistent play Is uncanny. You
cuss.
That Is why 1 say golf is not an
honorable pastime. There are
prominent men in this town, who
are respectable in every way, who
wouldn't say "Oh, gosh" i'm their

Permission to Build Line

The Public Service Commission grant
cd to the Central Railroad OF Maryland,
recently permission to exercise the fran
chiSe conferred in its charter and to issue
stock TO the amount OF SIPS. 600.
The company proposes to build a road
$40 miles long from Union Bridge,
Carroll county. through that county and
Frederick county, to point at or near
Key Mar, Carroll county. where it will
connect with the York, Hanover and
Frederick Railroad.
1t was testified to before the commits
sion that the reason for the construction
OF the road is the inadequacy of the
Western Maryland Railroads service TO
handle the output Of the Tidewater Port
land Cement Company at Union Bridge,
Carroll county. Blair T Scott. the
President of the Central Railroad Com
pany stated that the Cement Company
had been forced to hold its production
at so per cent. of their capacity because
the Western Maryland was unable to
handle any more.
1t is understood that only freight IS TO
be handled by the new road at first.
Later it is said. passenger service may
be operated

Emmitsburg Pike Open.

After being closed for several weeks
while the new concrete bridged over TuS-
Carora creek was under constructions the
Emmltsburg pike, which is a State road
is now thrown upen To travel. There
was considerable delay before the work
could be completed and users Of the road
were put to much Inconvenience. Auto.
mobiles were unable to pass through the
streams, and many vehicles were forced
10 take roundabout way to avoid the
obstruction.
The work is now completed so that
teams can use the bridge. The new
bridge covers the entire stream, the two
branches of the creek being thrown into
one and large bridge being constructed
The new bridge is about 40 feet long and
"a feet wide.
