NoRwE CLAN HOMECOMING.

Speaking Of the Norwegian Home
coming The Springfield Republican
says
Thousands OF American visitors are
expected in Christiania during the
summer to witness the celebration Of
the centennial OF the independence Of
Norway from Denmark. The celebra-
ton will also commemorate 100 years
of peace on the Scandinavian PENN
sula. An exhibition which will seek
to show the progress made in Norway
during the last century will be opened
by King Haakon in Christiania on
May 10. se-Americans have been
invited to participate in the exhibition
and in the celebration generally. In a
special pavilion called Norway
Abroad" the Norwegians who have
sought a home in America will show
their home staying countrymen the
life they lead in their adopted home.
The plans for the exhibition and fes-
tiyities have met with great interest
and enthusiasm in the United States, a
substantial indication of which is the
appropriation by North Dakota of
$4,000 for the expenses of the official
participation of hat state. Alfred
Gabrielsen has arrived to take charge
1f North Dakota's exhibit. Minnesota
and Wisconsin will also be adequately
represented, but in a less official way.
An interesting feature of the exhibit
OF these states will be the publication
of special histories of the states,
showing the strenuous work of Nor
Wegian pioneers who helped to build
them up. and the prosperous conditions
under which they now live.
One Of the most interesting festivi-
ties Of the program will be a great
Homecoming gathering of Norwegian
Americans. and preparations are being
made to entertain at least $1,000 peo-
pie. Some societies from the Norwe-
gian states have chartered their own
steamships and will sail direct from
New York to Christiania. These par
ties will be accompanied by their own
bands. Americans are expected to take
a very conspicuous part in the cele-
bration, not only because Of the large
number of N~orWegians settled in
America, but because of the good feel
Ing prevailing between the w coun-
tries. The stars and stripes will be
eeen everywhere displayed beside the
red, white and blue OF Norway.

Big and little Graftsrs.

Lincoln Steffens in The Metropoli-
tan: The graft system of Boston,
Mass, and all other cities and states,
sustained by the hope Of men (and
women and c%hildren), high and low,
worker and idler. farmer and laborer,
OF getting a graft.
In other words, the big gratis are
founded on the little gratis. The big
gamblers live on the little gamblers,
but we are all gamblers and grafters
at heart. Great wealth cannot be
earned by an individual; it can be got
under the system, but an individual
cannot produce it. The workers pro-
duce it, and, if one or q few individ-
uals have got it they can make the
workers who produced it produce also
interest and rent on it-for the few.
That's how wealth measures poverty,
increases 1t and exploits labor. And
the solution is to change the system
so that each man has actually to work
for and produce all he gets. This
means to cut off all the sources of UNI
earned wealth. But this means cut
ting off all the gamblers chances, not
only of great, but of little wealth:
Enough to live on without working"
And here you have the conclusion
which hurts: This means that all men
land Women) shall work, productivity,
always.
The fundamental, most inspiring
truth found in the muck Of Boston and
every other city, state or nation where
| have worked, is hat men land wo-
ment and children) do big, hard jobs
better and more willingly than they do
little, easy jobs.
The man who they told me. was
the worst politician in Boston, prom
ised me that if / ever saw the time

over any real, fundamental reform

forms as I hate their great, big CRAFTS
But he said, IF they ever set out to
do the real thing right, come to me;
you, not them; I have no use for them
you come; pass me the word, and
his eyes Redeemed and his mouth

There's a Chance to Better Garfield
Park Golf Course.

In the spring young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of golf.
And as Spring has came, y or is tasty
coming. we are going to turn
thought or two.
Chicago. and its suburbs has a
great many golf courses and some of
them rank well with the best in the
country. And then again others,
while they are real honest-to-good-
ness golf courses, are not half the
course that they might be. That
puts us in mind of the Garfield Park
course. E.-.
There is a course that is as popu-
lar place as is located on the West
Side-that is, as popular FREE
pleasure resort. Every good playing
day there is a big waiting list. And
a mighty fine bunch congregate at
the first "tee," waiting their turn
to wallop a little while sphere into
the ozone.
But where the kick comes in is on
4 the course itself.
When a gentleman, or gentler sex
golfer wants good game, he wants
bunkers, hazards and all the other
, little things that make the game diff
ficult. With these drawbacks to
fight against, the game becomes
more interesting than when you are
swafting along on level ground.
And that's what's the matter with
the Garfield Park golf course. It's
too blame level. It's too much like
playing field billiards. All that is
needed to make the course a rather
hard one-and that's what golfer
wants-is few large hunks of dirt in
the snaps of bunkers and few more
"cuss-ditches'' or hazards.
Garfield Park has a golf course
right now all right, but if we can get
q few of the things that are badly
needed, it will change the place from
a practice course to one of the kind
that Won read about.

'oXING- AL THE LATEST DOPE BASEBALL,
Taft Will Not Sell the Cubs Until He
Loses Love of Money.

Reports that Charles P. Taft will
sell the controlling stock in the Chi
cago National League baseball club
are based on the assumption that
Taft is a spineless individual, and
will be easy to force out of the circuit.
But Taft's past record does not
bear out this assumption. He has a
big money maker in the West Side
team, and is not noted for giving up
anything that has the faint of money
attached.
The latest rumor is that John 7.
Connery is again after the stock. He
went to Terre Haute yesterday, but
declared the trip was in. connection
with his coal business.
Using Connery is small time stuff.
The city directory hasn't been used
up yet, and his name should not have
reached so soon on the round trip
while searching for possible or i'm
possible purchaser.
Summed up, the situation is this:
If Taft wants to sell the club, then
there might be a chance for local
capitalists. And if he doesn't they
might as well leave their money bur-
led under the second brick in the
pavement in the back yard.
Tener and the rest of the National
League rulers will not be able to
bulge Taft an inch. OF course, they
could force him out as last resort
by canceling the present league fran
chises, and organizing a new circuit.
But in these troublous times of base
ball it would be dangerous move.
Players and fans would question
the stability Of the National, and the
path of the Federal, already smoothed
by a series of National League blum
ders, would become an open road to
wealth and success.
The Cubs may be taken over by
local men. But if this occurs, it viii
be because Taft is willing, and not be-.
cause he is coerced.
