CRITICISM BY EQUITY HEAD

Nothing could be more satisfactory
to the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce than to have DR.. ]. e. Boyle
head an Investigation Of the cham
ber," said ]. M. Anderson of st. Paul,
president of the Equity Cooperative
exchange, who was in Fargo yester-
day.
"Dr. Boyle is as much prejudiced in
favor of the Minneapolis Chamber Of
Commerce, as I am against it, and he
would come just as far from render
ing an unprejudiced decision. He has
frequently stated that the business OF
marketing is SO specialized that it is
well nigh perfect.
'It was this same Dr.. Boyle, who,
no longer than two years ago, stood
up in Chicago, before the marketing
and rural credits convention, and said
that there was no need of any more
terminal facilities for handling grain
that the system was amply supplied
/ took issue with him, and pointed
out that for five years before that not:
one bushel of Equity grain had gone
through a Minneapolis elevator and
that it was impossible for the Equity to
market grain there. / told him that
we had lost almost 100000 in bad ac-.
counts because of lack of facilities Of
our own and the refusal Of the grain
combine to handle our grain for US.
His only answer was a sickly laugh.
Eyes, it's fine-for the Chamber of
Commerce have Boyle investigate

But If there could be real in
vestigation a lot of good could come
from it. There are conditions that
the public ought to know

DEFENDER OF OLD SYSTEM

DR.. Boyle, some time ago, was the
author of a remarkable defense Of the
grain exchanges, written in answer to
attacks made by the farmers on the
rules and methods of the Minneapo-
lis Chamber Of Commerce. DR.. Boyle's
article was printed, unsigned, in the

run the trade has gone to members OF
the exchanges"
Mr.. Boyle takes occasion to defend
the spectators on the grain exchanges
by using the following argument, fire.
quently used by the brokers':
rs speculation an economic bene-
fit? This question is asked by a
farmer and answered to the effect that
speculation shifts the risk from the
farmers and millers to the spectators,
thereby raising prices to farmers and
lowering prices to consumers"
Mr.. Boyle then defends at length
future trading the
grain exchanges.
The nonpartisan leader., 1917-11-08

Modern Business Supplement" of the
Alexander Hamilton Institute of New
York. The article attacked the Nom
partisan league and took the side of
the grain exchanges in their battle
with the Equity farmers, who had es-
taslished a cooperative grain agency
at the Twin Cities.
The co-operator's Herald of Fargo,
the North Dakota publication, of the
Equity, ascertained from the Modern
Business Supplement" who the author
of the article was, and learned it was
DR.. Boyle. The Herald obtained an
admission from DIR. Boyle that he was
the author, although he claimed that his
entire article had not been published.
The Herald took DR.. Boyle to task
for the article and opposed his ap-
pointment by Thomas Cooper to the
position at the Agricultural college,
where he was put in charge of mar
ket Investigations. DR.. Boyle had
been in the economics department at
the University of North Dakota. The
Herald and the farmers generally
claimed that DR.. Boyle was untitled
for his position at the Agricultural
college because of his bias in favor
Of the Chamber of Commerce.
ATTACKS NoNPARTIsAN LEAGUE
The article in the Modern Business
Supplement" written by Mr.. Boyle,
which gives his views on economic
questions affecting farmers, begins
with an attack upon the Nonparti-
san league, in which he refers to
woes" of the farmer Of which he (the
farmer) has not been conscious tie
says that the fact that "agitators"
have enlarged on imaginary grievances
of the farmer has at least served to
cause discussion and that this discus
sion may have served a useful pur-
pose in that it has led in rebuttal to
better understanding of the services
which the exchanges (the Chamber Of
Commerce) really render"
The rest of the article is an at
tempted refutation of the arguments
brought forth by the farmers against
the grain exchanges and a defense OF
the grain exchanges. Mr.. Boyle says:
THE federal government listened to
a similar cry from the Kansas farm
ers that they were being robbed, and
so made a patient and complete in
vestigation."
He goes on to show that there was
nothing to the Kansas farmers COM
plant, and then he points to the all
legged high prices and big crops in
North Dakota, ending this argument In
these words:
ION their face such figures do not
seem to indicate there is anything, the
matter with farming in the North
west"
PRAISE FOR GRAIN EXCHANGES
He gives unqualified praise to the,
grain exchanges in the following
language:
Economic evolution has produced
the grain exchange and in consequence
of the exchange there have grown up
along side it uniform grades in grain,
honest weights, ample storage, large
drying and cleaning capacity, adequate
banking facilities, and uniform and
equitable trade rules"
Mr.. Boyle takes a shot at farmers
cooperative grain exchanges, compet-
ing with the Chamber of Commerce, in
the following language:
These organizations (the regular
grain exchanges) have been formed in
our terminal markets because men
were not able to give as good service
without them as with them. Thous-
ands Of efforts have been made to
handle grain outside the exchanges
(farmers' companies) but In the long

TT future trading) adds stability"
he says, ito commerce. The great body
Of SPECTATORS, taken as a whole
throughout the country, provides the
ready means of passing the risk. The
pronounced benefit Of concentration Of
the risk in the hands of spectators,
men who are market experts, is clear
ly recognizable"
Further on he says Of grain gam
bling:
'sWithout the organized public mar
ket such as the exchange, fluctuations
are more frequent and more violent,
and unorganized speculation reaps
large profits without comforting any
benefit on the trade. Speculation is
not gambling. Speculation is the as
sumption Of inevitable economic risks
Somebody must and will bear these
risks. Gambling is stalking money on
artihcially created risks"
Mr.. Boyle's article ends with an at
tack on the proposition of the North
Dakota farmers for a state-owned
terminal elevator.

The Male-Female Debate

While Mrs W. A. Gavin, in the first
section of the thirty-siX-hole match,
proved well enough that no male star
can give a woman star nine strokes and
emerge triumphantly, the test Is not
vet officially completed. In the hrst
place, the woman naturally has the ad-
vantage at this time of the year, when
the courses are baked and burned out
and il is easily possible TO get 20 or
220 yards, even for only an average
hitter.
But the facts in the case are this
the best women players even of the
Mrs. Gavin-Miss Sterling type are
quite content to get an So under nor
NAL conditions over the harder
courses. over these same courses
golfers Of the Characteristic
type can figure upon IS with equal
certainty. That is, they will get 1873
- often as the best women players
get S5's. Mrs. Gavin's 81 for the last
nine holes was exceptional, even for
her. She is a fine putter, as fine
putter rs almost any leading male star,
and with distance made easier she was
almost unbeatable at the finish. Ger
-anirly over nine holes, 5000 yards in
length, very few golfers would care
TO extend four stroke handicap
against 81. For they would be
forced to get 33 even to draw half;
But no full verdi CT can be rendered
until the second eighteen holes are COM
pleted, where Travers is more likely
to beat n than Mrs. Gavin is to beat
an 81, or even equal these figures.
This much can be advanced with
certainty. There are longer women
such as Miss Stirling, who may equal
or even surpass her in iron play. But
in the feminine list she is the best
putter of them all. In the Metro.
politan championship, consisting OF
four days play, she failed to take
more than two puts to any green, fin

two-putt allowance And against
T-avers she needed but 90 puts for
the eighteen holes. Any golfer, male or
female. who can count consistently
upon taking less than a two-putt aver

But II Doesn't Follow

But this doesn't follow OF necessity
not even IL Ouimet should see three or
four years service.
sunpose we drop back to the case OF
Johnny Ball. Ball had won the cham
pionship OF Great Britain. He was
then. back around 1899, Britain's great ,,
est amateur golfer. His leading rlva!
was Freddie TAFT. the noted Scot.
Ball and TAFT together left for South
African service in the Boer War. Talt
was killed in action, and Balls time as
a great golfer was thought to be over.
He was then around forty years OF age
supposed 10 be past the championship
prime. He served in South Africa for
three wears. During that time ne never
had a chance TO play shot.
Yet upon his return home ne not ohiy

for over three seasons.
The Boer War and this war are not
the same. But so far as individual ser
vice and physical hardships go there
was no great difference. And such
hard hips are likely to have a far
rougher effect upon man OF forty
than upon one under thirty.

Perfect Condition
Rutgers Keynote

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 22-"I
don't want any fake heroes on my
squad" was Coach George Foster San
ford's greeting to the Rutgers football
candidates this week, telling them not
TO hide injuries so as 10 be heroes. "If
you have only an ingrowing toe nail
tell me about il, so We can have it fixed
and have you IN perfect condition"
And that is the keynote OF the cam
paign this year, perfect condition for
every man. Winning football games is
not the main thing at stake this year,
with the nation at war, although that is
by no means to be neglected.
The Rutgers varsity Is beginning to
take shape The backheld already is
practically assured. with Whitehill at
fullback; Wallace, who has been given
a leave of absence from the Naval Re
serve, at quarter, and Gargan and Kelly
as backs. Gargsn is the only new man
in this combination.
Whitehill is going so well now that
the loss of Hazel will not be felt ma
terially. In fact, it is question
whether the star fulback would have
beaten Whitehill out last year except
for the latter's injuries. Gsrgsn is also
showing class that could hardly be sx-
pected Of new man.

slice or hook the ball and where need
ed follow through is almost impossible.
The club head, after hitting the ball,
should go out toward the hole. This is
simple enough when the club head is
brought straight back along the grass.
The follow through then ordinarily
takes care of itssf But in the other
method the ball is stabbed, poked,
jabbed or something else, with trouble
sure to follow" After this suggestion
we paid close attention to the putting
of Ouimet and Trsvers in recent
match. Both were putting in brilliant
fashion And in both cases we observed
that the club head of the putter was
brought straight back along the grass,
where it was tar easier to holS the
proper line.

II il. Of course, minor detail to
consider; an unimportant detail so
far as the larger affairs Of existence
are concerned.
But existence has a triae more at
tached at times than the more irpor-
tant things.
The discussion which arose was to
the effect that war and army service OF
extended duration would prove fatal
handicap TO any golfers game. The
fact that Francis Ouimet was to JOIN
the colors at an early date for service
that might take him away from golf Tor
several years brought on the argument
In the debate the opinion was ad-
vanced that he would never be the same
great golfer again.
