The most interesting Topeka golf
development in years is the plan, of
the Country club to purchase 81 ad-
ditional acres adjoining the present
course to the south and create a per
manent links on this site. The board
of directors have taken action toward
this move and it is predicted that a
deal will be consummated.
This purchase would give the Coun-
try club an eighteen hole course and
allow improvements on the present
excellent nine hole yard"
The plan also would settle the flu
ture plans of the Shawnee club. en-
abling that organization to purchase
the ground it is using and establish
ing permanent improvements.
Here is the situation:
The Country club leases the ground
it uses. The club also owns the 100
acres of the Shawnee club. The
original plan was to lease the Shaw
nee ground to the Shawnee club for
a period of fifteen years. If the
Country club moved on the Shawnee
course within the fifteen-year period,
the Shawnee club would have the
privileges of the Country club links,
until the time expired. As it stands,
the Shawnee club has nine years to
run on the Country club lease. IN
other words, at the end of nine years
the Shawnee club would be all dressed
up with no place to go.
If the Country club puts thru its
present plans of buying ground for an
eighteen hole course, the Shawnee
property will be offered for sale to
the Shawnee club. This will settle for
all time the plans of the Shawnee
club and will place this organization

MARSHALL and IRELAND

To The State Journal:
Who is this gentleman, Mr.. Mar

vice-president, who thru cireum-
gentleman whose vote kept our
soldier boys over in Russia and let
them die of hardship and starvation.
For what purpose and at what cost?
Now he claims he is going to try
and eliminate any Irish plank from

own initiative and determine how
strong his status is among the people.
Mr.. Marshall has been tried and found
wanting in many ways and we hope
that the party will find better timber
to place at the helm to steer the good
ship of democracy thru it's proper
course. Democracy is built on too
solid a foundation to be crumbled
merely thru the whims of certain
Individual, and the average person Is
too intellectual to be guided by views
of an individual-even if he is our
honorable vice president. This is not
only an Irish question, but also an
international one. When the allies
had their backs to the wall gaspipg
for the last breath, Balfour and his
colleagu put forth the plea for help

their breast having been pierced by
German bullet-and when we were
sent across the briny deep we were
told to subdue the Hun and liberate
the world. making It safe for demo-
cracy. Then out of respect for the
dead and those of US who were more
fortunate to return, let that promise
be fulfilled and liberate ireland.
A great many may say, IF you are
an American citizen, why bother with
Ireland?@ My reply thereto is, there is
no country in the world where you can
breathe the pure air of liberty as in
this great land over which floats the
Stars and Stripes, and if it were in my
power I would gladly give my life to
plant the germ or seed of such liberty
in every land under the sun-so why

Ellinwood. That was the statement to
Governor Allen by Jeff Yauncey, sher-

League members appealed to the
governor and attorney general to pro-
tect them against violence by the
legionnaires. No steps were taken,
however, looking to immediate ar
rests Some of the governors visitors
asserted they were afraid to go home

their mission to Topeka. The governor
then promised not to divulge names.
Details of the trouble. which started
at the Ellinwood picnic were discussed
by Yauncey. He denied that Legion
members who broke up the league
program were responsible for the egg
shower. He says boys ranging in age
from fourteen to sixteen years were
responsible for the egging.

party as far as the Rice county line.
