Golf Expert Arrives
to Instruct Devotees

Charles S~wesberger, a golf expert,
arrived in the city last week and will
spend a portion of the summer at the
Country Club, where he will event.
ually make out a schedule of handi-
caps for the tournaments Of the sum-
mer and fall.
Mr.. Swesberger has had much ex-
%perience in golf, and will devote his
entire time and attention to the local
association while he is in the city.
Golf, by the way, it may be observ-
ed for the benefit of those who don't
know anything about it, is an incur
able disease. Those who contract it
are few and far between, but they get
it in all its hideous forms. as though
it were epidemic.
Although physicians are supposed
to be practically immune from dis
eases, inasmuch, presumably, as they
never take their own medicine, they
are peculiarly liable to attack from
this %rapacious affection. DIR. Slower

QUIBBLING BY COURTS.

The Sioux Falls Argus-Leader call
attention to the hair-splitting decis
ions of the higher courts in indiana
1t appears that n day in the city
of Evansville an electric company
strung some wires across the street
In the course of time a man came
along, riding on a load of hay. He
struck the wire, or the wire struck
him, resulting in death. The heirs
brought suit and secured Judgment
for seven thousand dollars.
The case came befor ethe supreme
court" continues the Argus-Leader
"and was reversed on the sole ground
that in describing the death of the
mar the action stated that the mar
who drove against it (the wire) was
thrown from the wagon whereas it
should have read was thrown thereby
from the wagon"
Proceeding to elucidate further, the
paper cites another case wherein a
man, stepping across the railroad sid.
ing, was killed by a shunted car. Suit
was brought and JUDGMENT was OBJ,
tanned, but the higher court reversed
the lower courts decision on the
ground that nothing was said of the
purpose of the mar in crossing the
siding.
"The judge who framed those won
derful decision concludes the Argus
Leader, finds it hard to rally the
voters around him for reelection. Do
you blame them?"
AS The Saturday News has often
observed, the courts themselves are
largely responsible for the c~rystaliza-
tion of public sentiment against them
as the Railroads were principally re.
fsponsible for the development OF
prejudice against great corporations.
The railroads went into politics
and dictated nominations and cleo.
tions and paid but scant attention to
the rights OF the public. The courts,
in altogether too many instances, have
rendered foolish and unjust decisions
upon mere technicalities, as in the
Indiana cases.
The Indiana court is not entitled to
public confidence. The sooner men
of that legal calibre' are retired from
the bench the sooner will confidence
be restored in our courts.

Councils Action is
Endorsed By Womer

The meeting of the Federation of
Women's Clubs a few days G eX-
tended a vote of thanks to Alderman
Ferguson, chairman of the committee
IN public buildings and grounds, and
the city council for the admirable
handling of the rest room proposition
Alderman Ferguson's report to the
council was as follows, emitting the
Introductory portion:
First. In company with Mr.. John
B. Hanten, chairman of the library
board, | visited the rest room and
found conditions were exactly as rep
resented by the Woman's Federation;
and l would heartily recommend that
the city maintain a matron in charge
of these rooms, said party to be nomi-
mated by the ladies' federation, APP
pointed by the mayor, and confirmed
by the city council in the usual way.
Personally, l would recommend main
tanning the present incumbent, Mrs.
Ellen Kiley.
Second. / would recommend that
additional furniture be supplied for
the comfort and convenience of Wis
itors as follows: A couple Of large
rugs in the southwest corner of the
room. These rugs IA be obtained
at nominal cost, and would materially
add to the attractiveness of the place.
| would also recommend that a few
pictures be obtained and hung OF
the walls, and that the windows be
fitted with ac heap grade of curtain.
in addition to the shades, which are
there at present. No doubt the ladies'
federation would care for this part
of the work, and gladly, as most every
home has some discarded pictures
for use in a place of this kind.
Third. | would recommend that
the place be gone over by a painter,
that the walls and ceiling be kalso-
mined; the woodwork vanished and
the cement floor painted a dark gray.
1 will have an estimate of the cost of
these improvements, in SO far as the
painting and decorating is concerned.
to present Tuesday evening, May %.
Fourth. / would also recommend
that a couple of screens be purchased
in order that the southwest corner
of the rest oom might be, when nee
essary,. converted into a private booth
for the convenience of mothers with
babies, and for the privacy of people,
who sometimes come to the rest room
indisposed, and should have a conven
lent and comfortable place to lie down
for a time. Along this line, I might
say that | have reliable information
that this quite often happens.
ssThis covers the recommendations
/ that your chairman has to make, and
il the mayor or any of the council
men think such recommendations are
too numerous, all they will need to
do to satisfy themselves to the con-

was nominated for the Legislature,
having as n plank in his platform
the proposition of municipal manager
for the business government of cities.
A great many people, some of them
in Waterfowl, have been looking tor
some time to the possibilities of %.
Grating a city upon some such plan.
1t is thought by some investigators
that If it were somebody's special
business to do nothing else than at
tend to the affairs of the city, as
managers of enterprises pay atten-
ton to their respective lines of bust
ness, the result might be beneficial
from the standpoint of politics and
economy. AS the Argus-Leader init
mates, this does not imply a criticism
of municipal affairs, generally speak
ing, but is along the line of expert

AID. KERNER SAYS WE SHOULD
FORCE PROTECTION OF PUBLIC
Aid Otto Kerner, author of the or
dinance to require tenders on motor
trucks, today took a slam at auto
owners, especially owners Of trucks,
after reading Coroner Hoffman's
figures on the killing of hundreds in
Chicago's streets annually.
"Why talk of regulation when I've
been three years trying to give the
people protection from the auto
truck by forcing the owners to equip
them with tenders just the same as
street cars. E.,.
"How can we hope to keep the I'M
licensed person of wealth from be-
hind the wheel of an auto, even
though that person is unfit to drive
the car, if we can't make big bust
ness protect the people from their
trucks?
1--WE heard from goo dsOUrces that
certain big firms are preparing to
make a stiff court fight and spend
any amount of money to keep the
people of Chicago from the protec-
ton they deserve in the name of hu-
manity. l expect the fender law will
have to be sustained all the way to
the supreme court before we can
soak the owners for violations of the
ordinance. Meanwhile hundreds will
be killed.
Most of the victims will be little
children who are too young to watch
out TO themselves and who play in
the street; many to be killed will be
mothers and fathers. Their deaths
Will be the result of criminal greed of
big corporations.

Barney Higgins of the Lake Bluff
naval training station got the worst
of it in his. scrap with North Shore
silk-stocking ladies who formed the
''rookette" training camp. He was
fined and discharged from the serv-
ice; then his discharge was COM
muted to parole yesterday.
Higgins had nerve enough, when
the rich ladies led by Miss Lolita Ar
mour offered him a penknife on the
last day Of the Lake Geneva camp,
to turn down the ladies' offer and
tell them that he was tired of doing
servant work for them. He said the
mental tasks he had to do were an
insult to the blue uniform he wore.
The women, figuring that they had
been offended, rushed to Comman-
dant Moffett and said that Barney
was intoxicated and that he talked
something awful" Of course, it
wouldn't do for a plain sailor to talk
up to the wives and children of some
of our biggest business men. So
Barney was punished.
Now the society ladies may go
back to their dances and parties feel
ing that their grudge against sailor
for Uncle Sam has cost him dearly.
