Los Angeles Club
Has Old Soldiers
for Golf Caddies

The Los Angeles Country club counts
itself among the fortunate because OF
the old soldiers. from the Soldiers home
at Sawtelle. who make the most salts
factory kind OF caddies. They are treated
with respect by the golfers. who never
fail to elevate them to high military rank
and nothing lower than a captain adorns
the game at Beverly Hills.
These old soldiers. most OF them over
TO- are given special privileges for cad
ding by General Parry OF the Soldiers
home as a mark OF good behavior. The
extra money is a welcome addition TO the
pension and many OF them are using Il
for goodly purposes. They are loyal.
dignlffed. intelligent. with generally the
one disadvantage OF weakening eyesight.
and they are invaluable for keeping an
eye on the boys and detecting serious
Irregularities among the youngsters.
There Is one real captain among them
who formerly held high position. but
who lost his fortune in the 1907 financial
panic. An educated. weIl-informed man.
a coveted caddie. who finds in the work
a respite from the hoary chatter OF the
Soldiers home and oompanionship with
his equals.
But the old soldier for a caddie Is a
rare luxury and few golf clubs have that
advantage.

mitted to enter upon his duties as citi-
zen in a slipshod and matter of fact fash
ion in which he enters no other social re-
lationship. No wonder that almost one
third of those who have the right to vote
fail to avail themselves of the privilege,
even at a Presidential election. Something
is needed right at the beginning to impress
the voter with the fact that citizenship IN
a republic is not mere commonplace re-
suit of his having reached the age of twen-
ty-one. Ritual has always been a potent
force in fixing controlling ideals. The
average man seldom fails to associate per-
manently the sacredness Of an institution
with the profoundness Of the impressions
derived from his first active acquaintance
with it. A ceremony which led all citizens,
both native and foreign born, to feel that
in enjoying the privileges of citizenship
they belonged to something" would go far
to fix certain needed ideals Of patriotism.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-09-19

find that during the Roosevelt administra-
ton our navy marked an efficiency which ex-
ceeded anything il had known for many
years prior to that time, and which has not
been exceeded since. Our army was a well
trained body of men capable of handling sit
uations without the aid of the militia. And
during Mr.. Tafts administration these two
organizations were at no such low ebb as
statistics show them to be at the present
time.
But even if the blame of this present in
efficiency could be shouldered upon any pre-
vious administration, Mr.. Wilson has had
four wears in which to take steps toward
bigger and better army and navy. The ex-
ouse cannot be made that he was not aware
of the existing conditions. for the public
press has insistently dinned 1t IN his ears.
And yet he took no steps toward remedying
these conditions until very recently, when he
found the people of the country being awak-
ened TO our criminal unpreparedness, largely
through the patriotic initiative of this same
clustering Roosevelt. Mr.. Wilson could have
avoided our Mexican trouble by the adoption
of firm policy, backed by thoroughly eff
Gent army and navy. But his policy has not
been firm. We waited until enough of our
citizens had been slain TO make such action
absolutely necessary before declaring that
he would send troops into Mexico 10 capture
Villa dead or alive" After having sent our
troops hundreds of miles into Mexico, then
when the enterprise was menaced by the
threat of Carranza that further movement
south, or east or west, by the American
troops would mean an attack upon them by
his men, Mr.. Wilson turned out another OF
his notes, filling much space, the sum and
substance of which was that no interference
from Carranza would be tolerated, and that
under no conditions would the troops be
withdrawn. Carranza, being man of action
and not merely of words. attacked and Mr.
Wilson. after a wordy rebuke to Carranza, is
row withdrawing the troops and marching
northward.
Is this firm policy Is this Americanism
as our ancestors knew it? Can any citizen
vote for an administration which does not
insure that citizens safety in Mexico, but
warns him that he stays there at his own
peril, thereby necessitating him to appeal 70
another nation for protection? Can any cltl-
zen back an administration which has actually
told the inhabitants of Candelaria, town on
the border and on our own soil, that they
had better leave if they want protection?
Can any one uphold an administration which
has sent American-made arms into country
where there was the grsvest possible danger
of their being used in the Staying OF Ameri-
can men, women and children? How can
any citizen Of this United States of America
find it in his heart to vote for t. man who
has lost US our honor abroad and our self
respect at home, who prefers words TO deeds,
and who, though he has written his coun-
try's history and studied the men by whose
sacred blood alone our nation was liberated
and cleansed, yet processes himself too
proud to fight? PAUL G. JACKSON.

70 the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: | am from Philadelphia. Upon my ar
rival in New York last evening / was sur
prised to find the surface car lines service
practically disrupted by strikers. We do
things differently in Philadelphia. Under
precisely the same conditionss wiz, the efforts
of outside labor organizers TO crush local
labor union Of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit employees, the whole matter was
settled inside of forty-eight hours and the
so-called LEADERS" sent about their business
In short order, without causing even so much
as ripple that disturbed the public.
OF course | appreciate the fact that the
astounding course of the temporary lncum-
bent of the White House is primarily re-
sponsible for the inspiration of your trouble,
but nevertheless, now that the issue is joined,
the situation must be met, either now or
later, when the conditions may be far worse.
If man threatens another with pistol
in his hand upon the streets Of New York
you will arrest him promptly and punish him
properly, both for the threat and also for
having the pistol. If man threatens your
whole city with a union in his hand you
parley with him, while the mischief he bra
zenly declares that he will do is incompara-
bly, greater. 1t seems that all you have to
do in New York is 10 threaten murder and
destruction of property by wholesale 70
escape punishment. f. A. CORBIN.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The states of Alabama. Arkansas,
Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Geor-
gia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia
and Oklahoma have denied and abridged the
suffrage by disfranchisement laws and, with
out reduction of representation, these states
hold membership in Congress as though
these DISTINGUISHING acts were not in force.
These delegations are in the House with
out constitutional right or title. The war
amendments are self-acting. Having sent a
number in excess of constitutional right, the
entire delegation is without right, there is
no way OF distinguishing between those who
nay and who may not have seats.
In that legislation is dominated by the
illegal membership from the DISTINGUISHING
states OF the South, it must follow that the
acts of this Congress are subject to attack.
The railroad managers will undoubtedly look
into this phase of Legislation affecting such
great property rights, and. if they do, an
interesting situation will follow.
