The Topeka Country club was host
Wednesday and Thursday of this week
to the first annual tournament of the
Kansas Editorial Golf association. 1t
was the initial gathering of newspaper
men for golf purposes after many
years of editorial challenges and
printed demands. The association was
the outgrowth of preliminary
tournament held in Topeka last Janu-
airy when newspaper men attending
the convention of the State Editorial
association decided to play hockey
from the sessions and take advantage
of the balmy January sunshine. At
this preliminary tournament Charles
F. Scott of lola was the winner. He
was elected president at an organiza
ton meeting held at lunch following
the play.
1t was decided at the tournament in
Topeka this week to make the matches
semi-annual affairs-in May and Octo-
Der. Charles F. Scott was elected per-
manent president and Herbert Cava-
ness of Chanute, secretary-treasurer.
The October affair will be held in
lola.

been necessary to take golf pupils out

Par.
How is that for a pretty card on the
Country club nine?
1t was brought in the other day by
Pro- Nelson in a match with Harlow
Hurley. A S5 is the best score of the
season on the Dudley yard and is one
below par on the course.
The Hurley card, altho not his best
this season, was nothing to be
ashamed of. 1t reads:
Hurley. S-5-4- 4-5-3S
Nelson had three easy chances to
tie the record of 33 on the course in
his S5 card. On No. the wind car
ried a drive out OF bounds. On two
green's he missed very short puts
one of them only II inches.
The SO record on the Country club
course is held by Pro Nelson and by
Arthur Bonebrake.

Journal today deals with chip shots.

Charlie Mitchell has been taking
daily lessons the last two weeks. AS a
result he has changed everything ex-
cept his hat. The first move Pro Nell
son made was to cut down his clubs,
After a most humiliating drive the
other day Mitchell turned to the gall
lery and said:
1.-The burned pro has cut three
inches off my driver"
"Yes, and about six inches off your
distance" a wit replied.
This brings to mind the fact that

being returned as readily this season
as in the past. The Shawnee club
system should be adopted. Very few
found balls are not returned by
Caretaker Flanders of the Highland
course.
Shawnee golfers who have been
wondering for years if they were go
ing to meet a train at the Twenty
ninth street crossing were shocked but
not surprised at the accident recently

best card with a 40. She played two
rounds after the tournament and shot
a 40 and As. Mrs. Kellam undoubt-

woman player in the city and IS
looked upon to make a good showing
in the women's state tournament at
Wichita next month.
The cards for the nine holes show a
great improvement over last week s
scores. The increase in the number
of women on the course indicates the
interest in the game and the determi-
nation to better scores. Many women
are taking lessons from Pro Nelson

SIMS TO BE ADMIRED FOR HIS
FEARLESSNESS

When Admiral Sims expressed the
truthful convictions he felt about the
Irish uprisings, he said that the ones
in the United States who were causing
so much discord and agitations were
not the real Irish. but a lot of dis
gruntled jackasses. Members of the
Senate who cater to the Irish vote
howled ike lonesome puppies gazing
at the moon They know as well as
every thinking man knows, that the
Sim Feiners and the Obstetrics in
ireland are the true agitators, and
that the genuine Irish are the inno-
cent bystanders who are receiving
the brunt of the quarrelsomeness of
the disgruntled element.
But the Irish vote dependent Sena-
tors had: to make noise of some
sort just to keep their hands in. Like
the dog who always rushed madly at
the railroad train that passed its
premises, barking furiously. And as
the mighty train went on its way, the
dog returned to his kennel, stiff-leg-
ged and bristling with Importance

again"

No nation is stronger than its
children. The proof of this is seen
daily in the utter failure of pampered
children to keep up a business left
to them by fond parents who did not
drill them in hard work. A proof to
the opposite is the wonderful organ
Iization of the John A. Roebling's
Sons Co. in Trenton. There you see
the results of thorough training of
every male member of the Roebling
family. 1t has been perpetuated by
their hard work and devotion geuera-
ton after generation.
If America is to be always as
strong as it has been in the past and
is now, we must train our children
to carry on the tradiaions of integ-
rity and wisdom AND BUILD ON IT!
Our schools are the shrines where
pilgrimages must be made by our
youth in acquiring its education and
instruction for the struggle of life.
Education must teach more than the

it must give inspiration and incentive
for ambition; it must give not only
the rudiments of books, but it must
give a desire for lifted up" under
