A Word for Jonathan

Sir: have read Mrs. Asquith's Wit

AS an American woman and wife, re-

will back my assertion, that ss a

Speaking comparatively, let me ask
Mrs. Asquith where will one find sue

The New National Game

Time was when no man lacking
burr in his speech was thought fit
to instruct the tired American BUSH
ness man in the art Of golfng. The
pro" who had not played st. An
drews applied in vain for a posi-
ton at a big club.
Then along came a few English
men-Jim Barnes among them-and
beat the Scots, and the dropping Of
an occasional N" became as help
full as the burning Of an "r" to husky
youths who aspired to the homage
Of bankers and physicians and law
yers and political bosses.
Still, golf was an imported pas
time. Even the ascendancy Of few
American amateurs did not COM
pletely naturalize it. 1t remained
for little Gene Sarazen to do that.
Genes parents were out Of the
melting pot before his arrival on
this golf course dotted sphere, so
he is a real American, without a
yestige Of a hyphen. He was q
schoolboy in Harrison just a few
years ago, spending Saturdays and
Sundays and vacations "toting" golf
bags for the venerable gentlemen
who played around in the SOS at
Apawamis. He talks like an Ameri-
can and, barring a slight extra sad
die tinge in his complexion that
might well be sunburn, ne looks like
AN American.
Last week at Skokie this Ameri-
can grandson Of sunny Italy out
played all the best golfers in the
world, defeating such masters Of the
game as Walter Hagen, the Ameri-
can who won the British open
earlier in the summer; Chick Evans
and Bobbie Jones, the distinguished
amateurs, and leaving veterans like
Abe Mitchell and Jim Barnes far in
his wake.
II was not so long ago-hardly
more than a week-that The Trib-
une announced its intention Of claim
ing golf in the name Of the Ameri-
can nation, and predicted that the
American caddy Of to-day would be
the worlds champion Of tomorrow.
The prediction was verified at
Skokie by a lad who two years
ago was carrying other peoples
clubs and preparing himself for
greatness whenever he found an OPP
portunity.
The Scot and the Briton will con-
tinue to be mighty golfers, but IN
the future = hundred thousand

The Tariff of the Future

Senators Capper and Poindexter
have come out in favor Of the
Frelinghuysen project for a mon
Partisan scientific tariff" The New
Jersey Senator has prepared an
amendment 70 the McCumber bill
reorganizing the tariff commission
and giving it more influence.
The country is weary Of blind and
spasmodic tariff leadership. The
present Congress has been wrestling
aYkwardly for nearly sixteen
months with the problems Of perma-
nsnt revision. And the Senate,
where the McCumber rewrite Of the
Fprdney bill is, is rapidly getting
into a condition Of hopeless deadlock.
Tariff schedules are now dictated
BIZ personal opinions, political cal
cglations and TIE pressure Of group
interest, each struggling for a self
ish advantage. Precision is impos-
sible. Moreover, a constant success
sion Of wholesale revisions damages
alike business and the party respon-
sible. A tariff once scientifically
Framed could be amended piecemeal
as economic conditions changed.
The enormous burden Of construct
ing a Fordney or McCumber measure
would be taken of the shoulders Of
Congress committees, poorly fitted
for such work.
This is not to say that the tariff
can be taken entirely out Of politics.

ton to many dramas, some of which
are actable and some Of which are not.
Before the war he was one of the most
tremendous subtle forces in French
literature. There is great variety in
his writings, Miss Breezy said, which
have been influenced by the countries
in which he has lived in diplomatic
service, mainly in the East. He was
in China for a time and is now French
Ambassador to Japan.
An outline of the life of Paul
Claudel was given by Miss Breezy in
her most entertaining lecture. He was
born in Picardy in 1868, and served
in various countries at diplomatic
posts. During his young manhood he
was an unbeliever, and his reversion
to the Catholic Church was at the age
Of rs years. At the outbreak of the
war he was French Consul at Ham
burg.
His art was described as vast and
beautiful and his fondness for large
classic themes was dwelt upon. He
was described as soldier, saint and
poet, all in one, who dares to bring
Catholic mysticism into the modern
theater.

PAUL cLAUDEL.
Writer Of Miracle Plays.

In the course Of recent lecture by
Miss Katherine Breezy, of Philadelphia,
on Paul Claudel, the speaker stated
that she would not be surprised to
see, within the next few years, Claudel
societies formed all over the coun-
try, just as societies for the study
of Browning were organized some
years ago. Claudel, she said, is our
contemporary Christian mystic, writ.
ing in French, just as Maeterlink is
our contemporary pagan mystic, writ.
ing in French. Claudel, who lived for
two years in the United States, is
known almost solely here through
Yale University Press, which has ia.
thered the translations of his works.
The production, during the coming
winter, of one of his plays, "The It'd.
ings Brought to Mary" which has been
presented in Germany as we'll as
France, has been promised by the The.
alter Guild of New York. Miss Breezy
reviewed this play, also asrhe Sabbath
Rest" Christmas Eve, 1914" "Tete
dor" and "The Exchange"
That Claudel was a predestined
writer of miracle plays was one OF
the statements made by the speaker
In these. dramas the reader finds him
self more interested in the miracle
than in the play. He has written two

Mrs. Burton was quite sure that she
did, and she said:
People who are moved by every

leaders may be. They are will-o' the

How did you find that, out?'
I'm the easiest way in the world.
The first day after the boy began to

and systematically the exact duties
assigned to him, which he had been
SO careful to have explained to him.
When he had finished he came to me

Having been accustomed at home

"Of all the forms of charity and

More lovely than anything I have ever

modest Sisters going on their errands
of mercy among the suffering and the

In "The Barrier" that powerful
novel from the pen of the great
French Catholic novelist, Rene Balm,
there is strong scene which is not
without it's lesson to some Catholic
parents of today. Felicien Limerel,
who has lost his faith in Catholicism,
charges his parents with being large
ly responsible for the disaster in the
following vehement words:
II had an early Christian training;
I recognized it. I received more re-
ligious instruction and saw more eX-
amples of faith among my masters

mine also. have seen that you failed

And the story goes on to tell that

acknowledge the justice of their sons

The perusal of this passage may
give some other Catholic parents a
Iqualm of conscience. There are 'Catho.

children to Catholic school, but who
counteract the lesson there taught by
the example of their home life. For
the stable principles of religion and
belief in future life, they substitute
the f1uctuating standards of worldli
