AS an evidence of interest in the
game here and despite weather
not of the best for golf, the public
course has already set record for
early season attendance for single
day, more than 500 persons playing
here on one Sunday.
The beginners course In West
Potomac Park near the Lincoln
Memorial is unusually popular.
Sand greens have been put in, and
while they are unusually fast for
those playing on regular greens,
they are of greater value than the
temporary affairs that graced the
course formerly.
One week from today the perma-
nent green's on the public course
will be opened to the public. At
no time during the past year have
all the greens been in condition to

and replanted last summer.

This in itself is satisfactory
enough. The announcement follows
that public subscription will finance
the trip Of at least ten OF England's

Then before other members of the

One experience of night life soured
the champion. He said:
I've drank enough mineral water
to float A rowboat."
Jack shut off the telephone I'm mis-
room and put in ten solid hours of
sleep. Up with the sun, which broke
graciously over Paris, he went for a
long walk alone. He wanted some
information and made inquiry from
u youngster in the street. 1t hap
pened that the boy could talk a lit

the information, but joined Dempsey
in stroll, volunteering as a guide.
The youth had no idea OF Jacks
identity until he got back TO the

Why Farm Crops Are Low

Speech of Carl Vrooman, former
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture,
at National Agriculture Conference,
Washington, d. c., January 26, 1922.
Markets for the farmers surplus
crops are the only things that can
ave our country from an impending
financial crash. Domestic credit, with
which to hold crops or a falling a
ket, is a pitfall, not a remedy. Our
agricultural surpluses, for which there
is neither an effective domestic de-
mand nor a foreign cash demand,
amount to only about 5 per cent. of
our total crops, and are worth only
about a billion dollars. Yet they have
depressed the value of the other 95
per cent. of our crops at least four or
five billion dollars. In other words,
instead of being a national asset they
are an appalling liability. If we
could get rid of them in no other way,
we could make several hundred per
cent. on the operation by giving them
away.
Yet when we are asked to see them
on credit based upon reasonable secur-
ity objection is made that we might
incur a few losses. These few losses,
however, if regarded as in the nature
of gifts, would, as already explained,
make an enormous net profit by in
| creasing the value of the entire re-
mainder of the national crop.
1t is further argued that owing to
the fluctuations of international ex-
change Europe is not willing to buy
our agricultural SURPRISES on credit.
This is a palpable misstatement of
foot Dt.a nfioR11u ,a1rorxr aN,r@H,r- -,
Europe is continuously asking us for
credit and ever more credit. One has
only to read the advertisements in the
New York, Chicago, and Boston
papers to see that foreign bond sales
are being floated every day in all of
u principal financial centers. But
the awkward part about this situation
is that when we loan Europe money
or defer the payment of interest due
Europe can and does take the money
and with it purchase Argentine corn,
cattle, and wheat, while our surpluses
continue to rot on the farms for lack
of foreign markets.
The most pressing question before
our people is, Shall we rehabilitate our
agriculture, commerce, and industry
by selling on credit those sinister liza
bilities, our agricultural SURPRISES, or
shall we continue to loan Europe
money with which to rehabilitate Ar
gentine agriculture and business?
If we continue to follow the latter
plan, u international bankers will
continue to make big commissions out
of Europe's necessities while Ameri-
can economic conditions will go zap
idly from bad to worse. If, on the
other hand, we chanpe a heavy liabil-
ity into ar asset by selling our agri-
cultural SURPRISES abroad on credit,
every legitimate business in the
United States will gradually be en-
abled to work its way back to life and
normally. To every citizen the call
comes, choose We this day whom We
will serve.-Shylock of America.

Jerseys College For Women

The New Jersey College for Women
is preparing to graduate its first
class. Forty-two women will finish
their courses. Strange to say, New
Jersey up to four years ago had no
college for women. Even Rutgers, the
State University, was restricted to
men. Girls who wished a college edu-
cation were obliged to go out of the
State.
About ten years ago the Federated
Women's Club started a campaign to
interest the State, and in April, 1918,
the Trustees of the State University
of New Jersey passed a resolution to
establish a college for women as a
department of the university. A
building adjoining the State College
of Agriculture was leased, and fifty
four girls were at once enrolled. With
a Bible and a dictionary for equipment
the work was begun. Much may be
done with packing boxes, as every
woman knows.
The original college building was
unheated and under its leaky roof the
dormitories were placed, but such
small matters did not daunt deter
mined spirits. Now there m three
halls, a library, nine small houses for
dormitories and the packing-boX gym
nasium, 286 students and a waiting
list of one hundred. How they are to
be taken care of is not clear. A COM
Portable dormitory of some size is the
great need at present, and the college
and its friends are making it the OBJ
jective of a Statewide appeal. New
Jersey can hardly fail to respond
generously.

The Idea of Democracy

Aristotle said 1000 years ago; "The
citizen should be moulded to suit the
form of government under which he
lives"
The daily newspapers have been full
of accounts of the death of one pope
and the coronation of another at
Rome. They give no explanation of
the origin and why there should be a
pope with claims of spiritual and tenn
poral power oven all people. There is a
fetish superstitious belief or fear to
discuss the question and most people
believe it outside of the field of edi-
torial consideration. Even Roman
Catholic and Protestant pulpiteers
give little information.
The United States originated from
those who believed in a theocratiC
democracy. Some colonies forbid {
Roman Catholic priest to enter. Hence
we have the democratic principles
and ideas in Church and State. Tt
maintain them separately the idea!
must be explained to a thinking, rea,
soning people, so they may be guided
in their rights of private judgments.
In other columns will be found the
monarchical ideas of State in the rules
of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy
headed by the pope at Rome, who
is an absolute monarch, whose prin-
ciples and policies are contrary to the
United States. Also will be found the
democratic idea of Church and State,

the disciples and to wipe them with
the towel.
The disciples did not kiss his knee,
his feet, nor his toe. He ana not pose
as a monarch, but one humble serVai'
of humanity.
Right of Private Judgment
The Sunday Visitor, a Roman Cath-
olic propaganda weekly, in h Issue
of December a, says:
"The modern world a a theoTy'
the credit of which it owes to the
fundamental principle of Protestant-
ism 1.-THE right of private judgment)
that every man has a right to his own
opinions and preferences, especially,
in regards to religion and political
affiliations"
In other words, Roman Catholicism
deprives a man of his free exercise OF
his mind and makes him a subject, d
mental and political slave to the pope
of Rome who proclaims his right as
king of kings and ruler of all people;
Professionalism gives freedom OF
mind to read, think and speak on re
ligion and politics according to reason;
The United States were settled n
grew into a mighty nalloh DSCauoS VI
free thinkers who use the Bible alone
on reason and left old world tradi-
tions behind them in Europe. That IS
the reason all true Americans can
sing:
Our fathers God to thee,
Author of liberty,
To thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright
With freedoms holy light,
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, u King.
The democratic idea of the kingship
of God is not as an earthly monarch,
nor pope, but as the Children of Israel
conceived Jehovah in the moral, ethl-
cal and spiritual laws to govern the
people in their personal, political and
Spiritual affairs found in the Bible
and not dependent upon an Italian n
Rome. Those are the principles OF
Americanism.

Greatest of Laymen Preachers

William Jennings Bryan is deliver
ing as many sermons nowadays as
the average minister of the Gospel,
and many of them are given in Wash
ington Churches. In addition he is
writing Sunday School lessons to a
syndicate that is doing a land office
business selling the feature to news
papers throughout the country.
Friends of Mr.. Bryan say that he is
now performing his greatest service
for humanity. Incidentally, the Com
moner never enjoyed greater popu-
larity than at present. He has taken
up his residence in Florida, and the
political straws appear to indicate
that the Senatorial winds are blowing
strong in his direction.
