Why Make Golf Snobblsh {?

st. Paul Dispatch: Massachusetts
golfing organizations have decided to
stand by young Ouimet against the
edict of the national organization
barring him from participation in
amateur EVENTS. But the stand is
taken upon very narrow and uncour-
ageous grounds-that the national
association is without jurisdiction. Il
his own friends and club mates de-
sire to stand by Ouimet, why not
come out boldly and say 1t is becaus-
the national association is wrong and
caddish and snobbish, whether it has
Jurisdiction or not?
Ouimet went into the golf goods
business. Immediately the kid glove
instinct of the United States Golf as
sociation shook itself into action. He
was commercializing his golf fame
He was outside the pale of gentlemen
players. He had gone into trade and
lost caste. Hereafter he would play
the ancient and honorable game sole
ly with view to it's effects upon his
craftsmanship. Therefore he was barr
ed from all competition as an anna
teur
Golf is fine game and noble ex,
ercise. It should be encouraged il
every way and to the limit Cities
should provide, as most of them nave
done, facilities for the common en-
joyment OF the sport What is tire

Not Huohes the JUDGE.

New York Evening Post: One dis
tinction must be fixed in mind. 1t
was not Hughes the judge who was
voted for at Chicago, but Hughes the
public man-Hughes as an asset of
his party and of the whole country.
No man can point 10 a single decisiou
single gesture, of his On the bench,
and say that it was animated by po-
litical ambition. Nor in fact was any
word that he has spoken, or any opin-
ion that he has rendered, as q men,
Der Of the supreme court, advanced
by anybody as a reason why he SHOULD
be nominated for the presidency. In
this lies the complete answer to those
who affirm that it is degrading to the
courts to make of them a stepping
stone to political office. It has not
been so in the case of Hughes. So far
as the effect on his candidacy is con-
cerned. it is as If his six years on the
bench had never been. The sponge
is drawn over them. No argument
can ever be drawn from his career that
the way to political preferment lies
through the courts. The opponents
OF hughes have urged the point of ju-
dicial propriety; doubtless some dem
ocrats will urge it during the cam
pafgn, if he runs for the presidency.
But IL cannot influence the votes OF
a dozen Intelligent men, The reason
is that the point has no validity.

state battles. He is confident, how.
ever, of victory and his lieutenants
are just as certain Of success provid

to aid the fight.
Some leaders today urged the presi

small towns, II not more, as he does
to the big ones. A dozen end car

chanoIno His Sentences.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 15.-The
platform submitted to the democratic
convention will look very different
from that drawn by President Wilson.
The language is certain to be greatly
changed, it became known this after
noon, while the members of the plat
form committee perspired and argued
over various planks.
"The man that wrote it won't recoS
nize It," said one of the members OF
the committee, strong supporter OF
the president. Another member said
the same thing in slightly differen:
language.
1t was said, however, that the plat
form will carry the message desired
by the president.
Much of the work thus far done OF
the presidents draft. it was said,
has been in the nature OF condensa'
ton.
