ticulnr desire of the department to
give no offense and to allow no
cause for misinterpretation. No Of

How the cause Of peace and high

"Siege Gun" and Putter

Jesse Guilford, the "siege gum
who has added sixteenth name to
the list of our amateur golf cham
pions, is an example for all golfers
who plume themselves on their abil-
ity to drive terrific ball.
SO long as Guilford, "a broth of a
boy from the New Hampshire hills,
devoted himself to his speciality of
Aogging the ball to unheard-of dis
tances in or out of bounds, he was
not dangerous contender in select
company; but when after moving to
Boston he learned that match is
not won from the tee and had a
chance to study the short game with
such a master as Francis Ouimet,
he came to the fore.
In England last spring the con-
noisseurs Of style pointed out that
Guilford's delicacy of touch on the
putting green was more remarkable
in man of his powerful physique
than his inordinate driving power
At st. Louis he combined these two
excellences as did no other player in
the field and won, as he deserved. A
game of such superlative force and
finish interjoined is rarity in ANA
teur golf. Edward Ray, Of England,
has it among the professionals.
1t is pleasing to have the cham
pionship trophy come East once
more after seven years of domicile
in the Middle West The tourna-
ment showed that golfng skill is we'll
distributed throughout the country.
But the metropolitan district is not
doing itself justice. Where is the
next Travers?
Although defeated in the final by
Guilford, congratulation are due to
Robert Gardner for putting out both
British representatives, the dashing
Scotsman, Armour, and the plucky
British champion. Hunter. The in
ternationa1 flavor gives half the zest
to the games on both sides of the
water.

A Dolls House Worth While

In acknowledgment of the Queen

celebrated architects, painters,

gagged i'll making a model dwelling.
"The house is to be eight feet in
height. The ceilings will be
painted, the furniture and decora-
tions will be the work of experts
portraits of the royal family will
adorn the panels, and statues will
have place" Electric lighting, a
heating apparatus, ideal plumbing,
books, linen, garage and motor
car, a garden--nothing will be
omitted from this model house.
How can such a home be repro
duced for ordinary people? Can it
be afforded? 1t can.
In time, yes. The main point is to
produce model that is as nearly
right as it can be made, and then to
have it adopted for the use of the
many. Standardization is cheaper

gree did primitive man.. but with
progress came disversifcation. The
human has developed special traits.
One is an unwillingness to live on
bread alone and to be regimented.
Our Socialist friends war with this

excellent economic arguments.
But the individual man kicks
economics in the face. He will be
different, though he knows it costs
more. Nothing is more dismal to
him than rows and rows of model
dwellings, the serried ranks being
deadening to the spirit.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May be allowed to take cxcep.
ton to your recent editorial on Urban
Ledoux-"Mr. Zero"-in which you de-
scrlbed him as a "sensationalist" and
notoriety seeker? q have not your ex-
act words before nc, but the purport OF
your description was that he was Z
sensational agitator.)
Mr Ledoux's great aim is not the
giving away of meal tickets or Of "auc-
tioning" off a few Slaves" That is
but means 20 an end. The end he has
in view is to awake the public to =
realization of the unemployment stu-
alton. His sensational methods are but
the means to attract the attention Of
the nation at large to the direful IN
employment situation. And he has suc-
ceeded, and is succeeding.
On Boston Common two weeks ago
he auctioned off in slave fashion few
Jobless. Immediately the novel affair
was telcgraphed to every important
newspaper in the United States. Then
something was doing. Municipal gov
ernments all over the country began
seriously TO look into the facts.
You accuse Mr. Ledoux as an "ag.
tator." What is that agains. him. Al
he himself has stated, and as friends
who know him WE'LL like George Gray

peated, he wants nothing for himself

Conversational Irritants

that insidiously creep into our talk and
mar what would otherwise be good con-
versation. They are "see." "listen,
and you know"
Why not leave out the "see," and
thereby presume that the hearer com
prehends what is being said? 1t is
distinctly uncomplime to his in
tellleence to ask a listener whether he
understands you.
Why ask enc to whom you are sneak
ing to "listen'' to YOU? Give him at
least half the time for talking, then as
sumo that he will hear you. Why saw
listen" when talking over a tele
phone? DO you not know that the
nearer at the other end ois there for
that very purpose?
When relating circumstances or Civ
ing information, why say you know" =?
II the hearer knows, why tell him? If
you know he does not know, whv saw

olscourtesy and should be- banshed.

Thoreson VS.. Soreson

Utah is divided on the issue of
Thoreson VS.. Soreson The Secre-
tary Of the Interior some time ago
asked Mr.. Thoreson to resign his
position as Surveyor General of Utah
IN favor of Mr.. Sorcson. But MI
Thoreson did not relish the idea
Whereupon President Harding wrote
hlm kindly note. 81 take you to be
practical man." he said. II would
very much like to have a new ap-
polntment in the Office which you oc-
cupy. In all courtesy | would in
tinitely prefer to have you recognize
the situation and make your resig-
nation availab ble"
But Mr.. Thoreson failed to take
the hint ~ cannot understand, he
wrote the President, chow the plans
and policies of the Administration
can IN any way change or modify
the formal duties Of Surveyor Gen
eral." He explained that the term
for which he was appointed had not
yet ended and that he was "the first
and only person" who has been re-
quested to resign without being ac-
cused Of any definite failure or
neglect of duty
1t is difficult to see in what respect
the duties Of Il Surveyor General
can be affected by change of Ad-
ministration in Washington. Land
remains land, and measures and
records remain measures and rec
ords. On this ground, there is no
reason why Mr.. Thoreson, whose
conduct of his Office has apparently
been above reproach, should make
way for Mr.. Soreson In fact, if
the appointment were in the civil
service, there would be many valid
reasons to oppose a change
AS matter Of politics, however,
there is a difference, and despite Mr..
Thoreson's courteous reply to the
Presidents courteous letter. his
failure to resign is contrary to a
political practice which he did not
object to when he displaced his prede-
cessor. He then apparently regarded
it as permissible for chief to re-
move subordinate.
Nevertheless, the Thoreson argu-
ment is strong A time will come
when some President will respect the
rule that offices administrative in
fact are not spoils. We wish Presi-
dent Harding would seize the oppor-
tunity to distinguish himself. Unless
Soreson is obviously the better man.
or there are other reasons not yet
dlvulged, it looks as if some of the
Presidents advisers on political ap-
pointments had shown unnecessary
zeal in their search for positions for
deserving Republicans.

fetal form, as follows:
"The judicial Section of the Ameri-
can Bar Association, venturing to speak
for all the judges, wishes to express
this warning to the American people.
Reverence for law and enforcement
of law depend mainly upon the ideals
and customs Of those who occupy the
vantage ground of life in business and
society. The people of the United States,
by solemn constitutional and statutory
enactment, have undertaken to sup
press the age-long evil CT the liquor
traffic. When, for the qualification Of
their appetifes or tae, promotion Of
their interests, lawyers, bankers, great
merchants and manufacturers and So
cial leaders, both men and women, dis
obey and scoff at this laws or any other
law, they are aiding the cause of an
archy and promoting mob violence,
robbery and homicide: they are sowing
dragons teeth, and they need not be
surprised when they fnd that no judi
cial or police authority can save our
country or humanity from rcaping the
harvest"

in favor of enforcement of prohibition
in order to uphold respect for law is
most sicnifcantlx indicated hv con-
