TINE GROWTH or GOLF IN IOWA.

The state golf tournament is on az
Cedar Rapids with very wide attend
ance from the state. II is assumed to
bring the most sklllful players of the
game together and pit them against
one another to a championship deci-
sion. The tournament, Of course, is
Incidental to the game OF golf. The
golf itself is the real thing. golf and
the opportunity 1t offers TO sedenlary
men for exercise in the open air. Golf
is q healthy game with the absorbing
attraction that drives men whose
slackened muscles cry out against vio-
lent exercise to play six miles OF golf
and bring those muscles into healthy
activity. 1t is game for all ages and
all conditions of body. Rockefeller al
so plays golf with advantage to his
health and the youth of IS may put
his entire strength into the game. 1t is
so thoroughly adaptable.
Two reasons may given as prominent
for the rapid growth Of golf in this
country-one is that it affords the man
opportunity to play with his own
hands instead of paying athletes to play
for him. 1t is exercise and amusement
instead of entertainment This fea-
ture appeals especially and strongly to
the middle aged or elder persons. An
other reason is that golf and country
club furnished a breathing place for
the smaller towns and it's shade and
pleasant verandas and variety Of
amusements draw all kinds and all
classes of people together. Every town
needs it. Many even smaller towns have
recognized their need and supplied it.
AS a concrete instance the little city of
Newton has a delightful golf course
with a beautiful club house at the
edge of town within easy walking dis
lance. Such smaller cities as Iowa
Falls and Carroll have organized and
are maintaining golf courses. They
pay in pleasure and in health. The golf
crank saves his dues over and over
again in doctor bills.
Iowa has few resorts and beauty
spots. Moreover the Iowan has not yet
learned to run away from home TO
play. He takes trips" to California
if he is wealthy or winters in Florida.
He is just beginning to learn that he
can have things for himself close at
his hand, health resorts like golf links
and pleasure places like country clubs.

IoWA's NATURAL MEMORIALS.

The proposal to name a peak in the
Black Hills for Theodore Roosevelt
with the erection OF a monument or
large tablet on some slightly point Of
the mountain suggests again that Iowa
is neslecting a noble opportunity to
honor in similar way her great ones
who have passed forever and ever by.
The upper stretch of the Mississippi
from Sabula north to the line is mark
Cd ana guarded - massive and !rcpos
ing cliffs, wherein tablets commem-
orative Of Iowans who have served
we'll might be placed in grateful mem
DRY and in honor. Especially at the
line near Lansing there is a bold rock
faced cliff rising from the waters edge
about which the river turns majestical-
~ that offers its broad entablature to
the proclamation Of the remembrance
wherein Iowa holds those who have
served her.
Some day that upper river will be
a tourists mecca by water and its
shores crowded with automobile par
ties eager to catch the finest river
views in the world-for there is no
stretch Of river in a civilized country
surprising the Upper Mississippi In
beauty.
Use the natural memorials Of Iowa to
the pioneers.

Within two or three days q petition

city council, in which 1t was asked that

acting thru their counsel, Judge Howe,
of Des Moines, a temporary injunction
was granted by the court and this re-
strained the school board for some
months from forcing the remaining
children to submit to vaccination. A
hearing on the whole matter was later
had and after refraining from deciding
the case for long time the Judge rem
dered his opinion refusing to make the
Injunction permanent.
The evidence tended TO show only
few sporadic cases Of smallpox, not
greater than in former years when no
epidemic was declared. and there was
no evidence Of greater per cent OF
cases among school children than any
other class. My recollection h that
not over one or two cases among school
children was ayerred. 1t will take .
higher court to determine the legal
right Of the city council to pass the or

When the big rabbit told Peter he

and began TO take notice; and a. he
looked toward the shore he saw all
the little animals jumping up and down
and heard them calling to him and
they said, my. what swimmer you
are, Peter, and you never said any
thing to us about It."
Peter braced up when he Eaw all the
little animals calling and waving to
him. But he held on to the board hard
and he wasn't easy in his mind, for
the water would splash up and wet his
nice fur coat.
Mrs. Mollie Cottontail and all the
rabbit family stood on the shore and
called to Peter: "whon ala you learn

Mexico" villa. thwarted. takes steps
to retaliate upon every American ne
encounters. and II opportunity permits
he will make a raid across the line and
murder more Americans. In the mean
time the people of Mexico are starv-
ing, with railroads and mines shut
down, money debased, life unsafe and
all the operations OF government para
lyZed IL not abandoned.
Has America no duty toward Mexi-
co? Is this nation bound only to go
to the aid Of France and never to tho
aid of the dying millions below the
Rio Grande? Do Americans owe only
duty to distant peoples, like the Ar
menians. the Turks, or the Albanians.
and not to the Mexicans?
The stupidity Of employing the Unit
cd States army against one set of Mex
lean bandits and thus aiding the OPP
posing set is so gross that even the
war department should be able to see
1t. The futility of the action equals its
stupidity. What was gained, except
the intensified resolve by both Carran-
zistas and Villistas to kill all Ameri-
cans found at their mercy? A week
ago the American authorities refused
to permit Carranza soldiers to pass
thru Texas to defend Juarez, the ex-
cuse being that 1t would show favor
itism and thus enrage Villa and lead
to reprisals by him against Americans.
Now the United States army goes
down and attacks Villa himself-not
vigorously and effectively, but just
enough to sting him into making re-
prisals on defenseless Americans. II
the United States army would pursue
Villa and capture or kill him. the ''in-
vasion" of Mexico would be more than
justified. Or If it should clean out the
Carranza outfit it would be doing
equally good work for the Mexican
people. But in Mexico. as in Russia,
the rule is, while intermeddling, to
avoid anything effective or decisive.
If 1t be true that Great Britain would
take a mandate for Mexico under the
league of nations the American cup Of
humiliation would be complete. There
is no denying that Great Britain would
perform the task well, but this very
fact would bring into sharper contrast
the feebleness and failure of America
In doing its duty. The league OF ma
tons. however, is not yet a reality SO
far as the United States is concerned.
Possibly a way will be found whereby
America will befriend Mexico before
taking over the government Of Arme-
MIA, Turkey or AIpania.-Wasningto

JULY 8, 1777.

The great English historian, Henry
Hallam, was the son Of very learned
man, the Canon of Windsor, and was1
himself unusually we'll educated. He
went to Elton and to Christ Church,
Oxford, and after his graduation prac-
tised law for some years.
But his tastes were literary, and
when on his fathers death he inherited
a small estate, he retired and gave
himself up to the sort Of studies he
loved. He held a well paid and easy
political post, but he had no taste for
active politics. Yet he was a political
student, and his influence in certain
reforms-notably abolishing the slave
trade in England-was very great.
So far as his writings go, there are

Rarely have American citizens Mt
any period been subjected to the doubt
and anxiety that how surround and
confound the foreign policies Of the
United States. Much OF the confusion
is due to the unexpected Developments
Of the war; but much OF 1t has been
avoidable. Some Of the public mysti-
fication has resulted from the absence
and silence of the president OF the
United States. In the absence OF that
bond of sympathy which usually
unites a president and the speople,
which can exist only when the people
are kept informed, the public falls
back upon rumors and apprehensions.
some of which are baseless. II is a
situation that makes for mischief by
giving foreign nations the impression
that the government of the United
States is divided. Advantage will be
taken of this supposed internal con-
flict, both by friendly and unfriendly
nations, TO advance their own ends al
American expense. That is only natu-
raj and to be expected.
Apparently there Is not an Ameri-
can living who can rely upon any
American policy concerning Mexico.
Every citizen Of this country Is af-
fected or may be affected by Mexican
developments. and yet the subject Is
shrouded in impenetrable mystery and
doubt. There is no consistency Of ac-
ton based upon any known rule of po-
Icy, law, or even expediency. Ad-
mirable action, founded upon right and
10 hy
action so inconsistent that the Ameri-
can people have abandoned the effort
to understand the principle IL any,
which guided their government.
Yet Mexico will not down. II Is
worse than Banquo's ghost, for that
was only an apparition, while Mexico
comes to the council table in the flesh,
a ghastly figure of famine and blood.
There is no pushing Mexico away by
heated words. The wounded and dy-
ing nation stares at America, and
from the parched lips comes the ac-
cusing question, What have done to
you?"
Bandits fight like vultures over the
body of Mexico. An organization of
militarized bandits headed by Carranza
is the recognized government. An or
ganization headed by Pancho Villa is
at work trying to dislodge the Car
rama band of robbers in order that
fresh band may pillage the Mexican
people and such foreigners as remain.

The Monticello Express predicts
when the craze recedes, as 1t must
sooner or later, and land moves more
slowly the holder OF the high priced
land who does not want to farm it
himself will find his game has been q
poor speculation, for the rent he might
receive for its use will not meet one
half the interest charges on the in
vestment. Three hundred dollar land
is all right under present conditions
for practical farmers who do their own
farming. but it is mighty expensive
plaything for a merchant or a pro-
fessional man."
