Says Forces That Seek to Di.

Sources of Danger.

ANY force, any organization. Sc

tack on the Ku Klux Klan. He said
Bigotry and intolerance among
rfght-thinking men are doomed.
Through the influence of men
such as compose the Rotary clubs
throughout the United States, we
are approaching a great unity, a
great brotherhood Of men of all
beliefs and all honorable aims in
life.
With all respect to the stern,
courageous, long-suffering men
who founded the worlds greatest
union, we have a finer conception
Of unity than they had
While joining in the welcome

that we should adhere to the policy
of America First"
We welcome Clemenceau, al.
though we do not agree with him.
We feel warmly toward this great
Frenchman as we do to all peo-
pies.
Nevertheless, we must look after
our own people first and fulfill
the dictates of Americans. We
cannot administer our affairs ac-
cording to the wishes of Great
Britain, or France, or Italy, or
any other foreign power.

around a small lawn near the
apartment house, but Judge Nc
Mahon in Police Court yesterday

McDonah was charged with erect
ing a fence around a public park

idea, was, he claimed, to make
the place look pretty and give the
grass a chance to grow. Because
a drunken man tripped over the
fence, John claimed. a warrant
was sworn out against him and he
was hailed into court. The court
let the janitor go. on his personal

This column cautioned against
undue exuberance and pointed
out that, the doubling Of the
number Of shares Of q COM
pany was simply equivalent to
changing q two-dollar bill into
two singles. ~
The mania has now gone so
far that it threatens, to my
mind, to bring on unpleasant
consequences. Without doubt
not q few Of the companies
that are now increasing the
capital stock will not be able
to maintain their customary
dividend rates. And when divi-
dend rates come to be reduced
the fact that the number of
shares to receive dividends was
increased is likely to be forgot
ten, with the consequence that
the effect upon security mar
kets and upon general bust
ness sentiment is liable to be
depressing and injurious.
The ignorance prevailing re-
garding the makeup of "sur-
pluses" is appalling, even
among those who undertake to
write on financial subjects. 1t

SURPRISES are extremely de-

There is already a law on the
statute books providing for a

surplus accumulated beyond

The current fact, however, to
apply is that taxation will be
levied on surpluses not beyond
the reasonable needs of bust
ness.
The National City Bank Of
New York discusses this whole
subject very illuminatingly in its
latest bulletin, taking special
pains to show why any legisla-
tive action tending to dissipate
reasonable surpluses would be
hurtful, not to say ruinous, alike

NONE OF GOLFEXPERTS
PUTS GU|LFORD At TOP

What does success in a crucial golf
test meanp This question was the
topic of an animated discussion at
a well known club recently. 1t was
started when man produced the
rankings of various amateurs by
various golf experts. some publish
ed and others distributed privately.
of Jesse Guilford placed first. Gull
ford, as all know. won the amateur
title at St Louis last fall. One
eminent golf critic placed the anna
teur champion fourth. ranking him
beneath Chick Evans. Ouimet and
Bobby Jones.
Yet Guilford won the tournament
upon which the eyes of all amateurs are
strained and for which they were es-
pecially groomed. Evans may be a
better player than Guilford, but he
didn't beat him when the supreme test
came. The writer does not pretend to
say the eminent critics are wrong in
their rankings. but he does see mate
rial for an argument in such conten-
tion.
If some Of our professional golfers
go abroad in June. and il five or six
British pros maintain their present
attitude with regard to an American
invasion in July. then the setting Of
the American open tournament for
July II, at Skokie, will be richly JUS
tilted. otherwise, there will be gen.
eral regret that the open was not
shunted along into the early fall with
the amateur and women's champion
ships.
There was more golf played
throughout the country last New Year
day than on any previous one in his
tory. The northern links were free
of snow and the sunshine and nipping
air sent many an enthusiast to the
back of the closet for his golf1ng
tools. And what was said of New
Year day may be applied as well thus
far to the winter generally. The turf
has been a bit hard and the necessity
of gloves and double sweaters has
given plenty Of justice for high score
alibis. But what are little things
like these compared to the joys and
benefits Of being abroad in the exhil-
arating open?
