Naturally when Jim Barnes captured
the event he didn't turn down tho $50
that went with victory. But it is a

Barnes. by tho way, made much
finer showing At Shawnee than was PX
r,ctcd He is admittedly the greatest
match player in the United States and
high among the medalSts. but his game
this year had been decidedly off. His
showing in the open tournament at BraP
Iurn June 10 Is was very disappointing
tn his friends. They had begun t" fear
that he had slipped to point from
which he would not be able to recover.
According to BarneS's own state
ment the Shawnee course has al
ways been Il hard one for him, pHrtl"-
ularly the eleventh hole. But he de
tcrmined this year that he would over
come every hazard they had in stock,
and he did. His play was the acme

his last round of 90 he displayed a
brand of golf that was unbeatable. He
drove. as usual. like a Catapult; on his
| approach shots he laid the ball so near
| the pin that he had many opportunities
| for birds. and his putting was so sure
/ that he made the majority of these po-
/ tential birds.

IIoffncr. the professional of tn" Phil =
mont club, has had such little expert
encp compared with such veterans as
Barnes. Nichols and other leading pros
his playing this season has been re-
markable and reflects great credit upon
him. his club and Philadelphia.
Charley played fine golf at Brae
Burn in the national open and AT
Shawnee he finished fifth. Those to top
him were Barnes, Brady, Nichols and
French.
This showing is particularly fine
when it is considered that HOffner
along with his two other brothers, was
in tho service and has really not been
back long enough to get back to his
game. 1t is certainly only question
of time. and short one at that. before
IIoffner will capture the national open

Tragedy of the Lost Airmerl.

Something inexpressibly sad surrounds the
fate of the two young American airmen who
were murdered by Mexicans after they had suf-
fered starvation for nineteen days. Messages
scrawled on the surface of the airpane they
left behind tell something of their feelings
when they felt death was near. Such of these
as are given out are manly, tender farewells to
mother and father, sisters and brothers, with
no sign of fear or dread of death. No record
is left of what they thought when discovered
by the men who afterwards slew them. We
may scarcely imagine the feelings of these
brave youngsters when theft joy of rescue was
turned to despair by the heartless savagery of
their captors. 1t will be easy to believe they
lost none, of their courage, though. Within a
short distance of safety they were slain, just
as many another American has been by the
lawless Mexicans, for the value of the fey
possessions they had. Their lives have been
added to the long account laid up against the
uncivized subjects of the incompetent govern
ment that has made Mexico a hell instead of
the paradise it might well become.

Willie Hoppe as an Example.

1t is recorded that Herbert Spencer once
said Moderate proficiency at the game of
billiards is part of liberal education, but ex-
traordinary skill at it is an evidence of mis-
spent youth" If this were to be applied to
Willie Hoppe. the result would be dshearten-
ing However, this young man, for .he still is
young, although familiar to the public for many
years, is entitled to consideration and distinc-
tion on the authority of another eminent phil
osopher. Emerson wasn't it, who advised his
followers to do one thing we'll? Willie
Hoppe does one thing we'll Billiard play
ing is his vocation. and he has devoted himself
to the game with such assiduity that he has
finally reached an eminence attained by no
other iii the history of the game. Thus he af-
fords an example and all inspiration to every
young man starting in life He chose his life
work. and has followed it single minded Bill
lard playing requires cool judgment, absolute
control of nerve and muscle, perfect vision,
imagination and daring. These are the result
of well ordered life. Dissipation in any form
quickly destroys the delicate touch and sets the
top-notcher back among the second d-raters 1t
is not possible for every young man to become
champion billiard player, but it will hurt none
of them if they take Willie Hoppe as an exam
pie to encourage them in perseverance along
whatever line they have selected for building up
place in the world,

Rnral School Consolidation.


Syracuse. Neb., Oct. 25-To the
Editor of The Bee: Consolidated
schools, claim, are An injustice to
the children Of the rural schools,
where they are SO large that trucks
will have to be employed to trans
port the children to and from
school One consolidated school is
using hog trucks to haul the chill
dren to school. The condition of
our roads in winter and spring at
times, is almost impossible for a
team of horses. The farmers are
not in favor Of a six or eight-mile
ride every morning for their chill
dren in cold months They catch
cold fast enough as it is. Some will
have to stand on the corner and
wait for the truck as the trucks do
not come to all of the homes.
Just think Of small children wait
ing on the corner for truck May
be the truck has gone. The children
will wait and maybe freeze in the
winter time. Any one having
driven a truck knows that they do
not have full control of them on
slippery roads. They are liable to
be ditched, almost any time.
Our county redistricting commit
tee must not have understood the
law, as their new districts were 25
square miles or more, not more or
less. The farmers think this con-
solidation law is little premature.
The majority of the farmers will tell
you they are in favor Of rural school
consolidation, but until cross roads
are paved or the aeroplane industry
is more highly developed 1t will be
best to limit the size of consolidated
districts to less than half Of the
proposed districts.
Three years ago two districts in
our country consolidated. Nos 10
and 90, and now the new proposed
districts cut this district in the CEN
ter. doing away with it altogether.
The school house costing $4,000
would be an almost complete loss.
as it would cost about as much as it
is worth to move 1t to either OF the
new proposed locations.

BUFFALO GRASS.

The redmen say q stalwart race
From scenes Of crags and peaks
Set eastward with inquiring face.
Like one who new lands seeks.
Across the flats we call the plains,
Day after day they went,
Yet bare and glaring, void OF rains.
Their trail an outlook lent.
Lost and disheartened soon were they.
Where meat nor water cheered.
The antelope Of antics gay.
The grouse had disappeared.
Still did these men of giant frame,
Bones pricking, bright OF eye,
Press on, lit bythat restless flame
Whose glow has seen men die.
Their bulging tongues lolled dryly forth.
The breeze-sped alkali
Stung limb and cheek, the cupping eartf
Caught cool lakes from the sky
To nag and spur them in their chase
For drink--the sweetest boon
The night shut out the teasing space.
But hung the hunters moon.
Hope rome. they spread their fur robe.
Upon the tuftless soil ..
There meath the deserts brassy frown
They quit their footsore toll.
Lo. as they slept in quiet death.
The Spirit Great appeared
And by the wonder of his broath
The lorn expanse was cheered.
By him the curly bison pelts
Were changed to fluffy grass.
That spread and spread till now it belts
Each level, butte and pass.
This is the legend tepee. folk
OF our vast west relate.

A barren clothed elate.

Rebuff For "Conscob"

5 When patriotic fervor was at its, height, and
thousands upon thousands of Americans were
gladly giving their services in the cause OF
world freedom. there appeared certain num-
Der OF individuals in many communities who
claimed exemption on the ground that they
were conscientious objectors-which in most
cases meant that they were either cowardly or
dsloyal.
But now it develops that, with surprising
impudenc and effrontery, several hundreds OF
these Collectors" who disgraced Massachusetts,
have made application for the $l00 bonus given
by that commonwealth for the Sacrifice and
service" of Massachusetts men who served in
the army or navy during the world war. Thus
these Conscientious objectors' reveal them
aeeives in their true character as 'unconscienti-
Gus towards" afraid to fight for their country,
but bold enough to claim the fighters reward.
Fortunately, in the person of Charles L. Bur-
rll, Massachusetts, has state treasurer who is
true to the trust reposed in him as patriotic
and capable official. To him is due, as the re-
suit Of his quiet investigation the exposure Of
the towards who now seek reward for their
cowardice, and il is due to him that these claims
have been turned down."
The action of State Treasurer Burrl is in
striking and agreeable contrast to the action of
the War department officials in not only liberat-
inr the conscientious objectors" and other
Asrrant offenders at Fort Leavenworth, but. in
addition giving back pay to those who had dis
rraced the American unform.-Pittsburgh

Which Shall H,Be?

Go ahead and move" shouted the landlord
over the telephone unexpectedly when his
renter threatened to get out if the fiat wasn't
fixed up. .
1t looks as if the administration in Wash
ington we're in the plight of the renter with ref
erence to Mexico. The executive department
sent note to the Carranza government about
two months ago saying that the United States
government might be forced to adopt radical
change of policy toward that country il "the
lives of American citizens continue to remain
unsafe and these murderers (of American citi-
zens) continue by reason of the unwiingness or
inability of the Mexican government to afford
adequate protection" The reply of the Carranza
government was that it had made every posi-
BILE effort and would continue to make such ef-
fort to safeguard American lives and property
on Mexican soil, but that it was unreasonable
to expect of the Mexican authorities that they
could prevent all cases of murderous bandtry
and capture all criminals
SO far as we recall or are aware the formal
correspondence on the subject ceased at this
point. A senate committee, however, is investi-
eating Mexican affairs and Mexican offenses
against citizens Of this country with view to
settling upon a. policy to pursue. The appoint
ment of this committee does not invalidate the
warning note of the State department In the
face of that note American consular agent
in Mexico has been seized by bandits and held
for $150O00 ransom, if advices from Puebla be
truthful
Washington has been informed about the
case. What is the State department going to do
about it? If the ransom is not paid the pre-
sumption is the captive will be put to death.
He happens to be an official representative of
the American government itself. We can't go
on indefinitely paying the ransom monies de-
manded. We can't wait indefinitely on Mexico
to "afford adequate protection and still make
good on the warning note as American opinion
interprets that note. Are we to come across"
by going~across to stay until the job is finished
or are we going TO back up as we did in the
Vera Cruz affair, in the Villa chase, and more
recently in the pursuit of the scoundrels paid to
release two American aviators who had been
captured and held for ransome? 1t seems to be
up to Uncle Sam to go ahead and move," as
per promise, or to back away again and brand

NOW FOR THE RESERVATIONS.

Failure of passage of the so-called Johnson
amendment to the text of the covenant of the
League OF Nations imbedded in the Treaty Of
Versailles clears the way for the consideration
by the senate of the reservations proposed by
the senate committee on foreign relations. Sew
erai of these have been formally presented to
commence at once. Others have been con-
sidered by the committee, but their phraseology
is not yet definitely fixed
Senator McCumber has presented COM
promise set, and it is reported that his are ac-
ceptable to the democrats who are ready to vote
for reservations. The mild" group has also
been put down as willing to give its support to
the McCumber text. These are not all in ac-
cord with the views of the majority of the COM
mittee, though, and may be rejected.
Especially is this true with the one dealing
with the effect OF Article x. In the Lodge reso-
luton it is provided that America shall be free
until congress acts from a declaration of war
under the tenth or ANY other article" of the
covenant The McCumber reservation deals
with Article X only and omits the three i'm
portant words found in the Lodge amendment.
AS war may be declared under at least two
other articles the Importance of the omission
will be noted.
Similarly, objection may be laid against the
McCumber and Taft reservations that will per-
NIT the council of the league to thrust the
United States into an economic war, which diff
fers only in degree from and almost certainly
will lead to an armed war. If the safety of the
country and the perpetuity of American rights
are to be safeguarded at all from the wide
control of the leagues council, the provisions
should be carefully worded.
No sign is yet given from the White House
as to whether reservations will be accepted at
all by the president, although it is again made
clearg by the vote on the Johnson amendment
that the opponents of the treaty have strength
to defeat its ratification without the provisions
deemed necessary for the protection of our
home affairs

Vote for the School Bonds.

If any opposition to the proposed school
bond issue exists, it has, not yet come out into
the open. This. however, should not serve to
lul the advocates Of the measure into sense
of false security. Unless larger share Of the
voters come out than were present and counted
when the big road bond proposal was voted on
some weeks ago, resolute minority of the
total vote can easily defeat the plans Of the
school board. Necessity for the buildings pro-
ject is admitted: arguments made by the rep
resentatives Of the board have been conclusive
on this point. The only danger that appears is
in too much confidence on part of the sup
porters of the measure, who should make every
effort to get out a full vote, in order that no
doubt may be cast on the result Patrons of
the schools are interested in this matter, which
vitally concerns them, and all should take time
to go to the polls next Tuesday to give the good
cause boost No harm will result if the ma
jority for the bonds is several times greater
than the vote against. ..

ODD AND INTERESTING.
DOT PUZZLE

The area Of the Sahara desert Is
almost as great as that Of the United
States.
Mixtures Of lime and coal dust are
found to form excellent plant ferti-
lizers. The lime accelerates the
normally slow process of the soil in
extracting carbon dioxide.
Seventy-five years ago it was not
unusual for formal English break
fast to last for two hours, while a
dinner might start at $3.50 and be
protracted till midnight. And the
courses were as many and substan-
tial as the meals were lengthy.
On all the great lakes Of China
are found floating islands, which are
enormous RATS of bamboo overlaid
with earth, and bearing on the sur
face of the water pretty houses and
gardens. They are in fact aquatic
farms, bearing crops Of rice and
vegetables.
