GoIf Teaches SeIf Control
By "SfYaight DriUe''

n LAYING golf has done more to
teach many man greater self
Il control than all his childhood or
business training. No one can acquire
any degree Of progress at golf until
he has learned by xperience-bitter or
otherwise-that he must maintain
learns that, to lose his temper over a
bad shot or some seemingly unlucky
incident is to bring on additional trou-
bic and make even respectable scoring
impossible.
No one really becomes an expert or
even high class average player until
he has learned to forget a bad shot as
soon as it is made and cheerfuIly over
look the thousand and one little incl
dents that 90 to make the game the
great mental trainer and fascinating
pastime and recreation that il is.
/ know one man who has been fairly
successful in business who few years
he would break a club over his knee
or throw it into the woods and threaten
to kill the caddy who dared to offer
to go after it. He was hot headed and
then some.
Gradually this player found his
ing with him and they told him the
reason why. Today he is back in their
good graces and takes his bad plays or
misfOrtunes with a fOrtitude that must
be satisfactory to himself. His friends
think a heap more of him for control
ing quick temper that we all know
still turks under the skin
Incidentally this same man is more
successful in his business than ever be
fore. He probably hurled chairs about
the office and broke windows in the
OLD days when things didn't go his way.

OF course If one argues by the book
and in cases OF this kind the record

to aspire to a crack at the champion

for him, as it has for thousands of
others.
Another hot tempered individual Of
the past was a man who, after driv
ing five balls into a pond ahead of
tee. picked up his bag of clubs and
threw them in the water after the
balls The act occurred early in the
round, and remembering that he had
many bets of a dollar and upward
hole, he had to humiliate himself by
paying a caddy a dollar to wade out
INTO the pond and recover the badly
soaked bag.
This same man now takes misfor-

once or twice a year, there is a twin

From the editorial columns of the

lowing: One may talk glibly enough
about prison life, but the fact re-
mains that only the prisoners them
selves know anything about it.
There is no way in which the pris-
oners may impart to another the
point of view-no way in which he
may make the world understand the
emotions which are aroused in him
as he finds himself locked in an iron
cell, his going and coming denied

THE SAYINGS OF PENDENNIS
By Pendennis.

How many of us really ever forgive our
enemies? Most of us try to get even.
Here is king, and young monarch at
that, who has set good example. King
Alfonso of Spain has committed the
death sentence of Sanchez Allegro the
anarchist, who tried to shoot him last
April. Kings and crowned heads in gen.
eral have been considered the legitimate
quarry of anarchists, and it was not ex-
pected that any monarch would be merci-
full to the assassins. But King Alfonso
has the gift of originality.
Time developes new ideas and intro
duces innovations that are sometimes start
ling in character. 1t was promulgated
several years ago that kissing spread the
germs of disease. According to a news
item that theory was thoroughly tested re-
Gently in Salem, Ohio. Six young ladies
of that town, to raise money tor a local
hospital, permitted at dollar kiss, as
many men as were worthy and had the
dollar to kiss them. Ten thousand dollars
were raised. Now if there is anything in
the germ theory, let us hope the hospital
benefited, will be able to care for all the
afflicted.
The idea to adopt the commission form
of government for state purposes is a bad
one. Better have the present form of
state government, for out of the many who
take part in the work there are always
some who are able to correct the mistakes.
Hiring commission to do the work of
governing would be Sinking the response
