Back to Golfing Norrnaicy

Sports controlled by amateurs
ought to be largely exempt from
the dollar sign. But they are not.
and there is always something new
to worry about. Now the executive
committee of the United States Golf
Association has rod in pickle for
the hippodroming professionals who
give all their time to playing for
big purses and also for clubs that
encourage them by Offering exces-
sive prize money.
The u. S. G. A. committee pro-
tests against thus eommercializing
golf and expresses the opinion that
it will injure the game. 1t is quite
right about that. Moreover, the cost
of golf is already highly inflated,
economy rather than extravaganza
is what the average golfer who can
barely afford the luxury of the links
Is looking for. The pace is getting
too swift when several hundred
dollars must be paid to the prima
donnas for playing thirty-six holes,
although every duffer must envy
them for drawing such big money
simply for doing the most agreeable
thing In the world the best it can
be done.
The clubs should get together and
set reasonable maximum for exhi-
bition and tournament rewards.
The skillful "pro" will naturally
capitalize his skill. He is not going
to waste his gifts by staying on the
home course teaching novices to
hold the head still and keep eyes
OH the ball, or picking out new
shaft for Jim Jones's brassie. So
now we have class Of playing pro-
fessionals as distinguished from the
working class--the good teachers,
club members and greens keepers.
Some clubs feel that they can af-
ford both. Others prefer q man
who plays we'll enough to show the
members how, who has companion
able traits and is always on the job.
He is the "pro" who wears we'll and
is a better asset for the game than
the peripstetic marvels.
The professional tournaments and
exhibitions by the leading American
and British players have done much
to raise the standard of golfing skill.
Nobody would drive them from the
field; but now that it is no longer q
novelty to clip three or four strokes
from par the price charged for the
feat should be moderate.

Every Week Safety Week

The Tribune wishes Mr.. Barron
Collier we'll in his crusade as s.
special deputy police commissioner
against the fatuous inclination Of
New Workers to get themselves hurt.
The perils Of city life are con-
stantly increasing. Six persons we're
killed by automobiles Sunday. ANY
one who was abroad on the city and
suburban streets wondered that the
number was SO few.
Mr.. Collier has hard Job ahead
Of him. But If he can succeed in en-
forcing the laws against reckless
driving, and put conspicuous viola
tors of it in Jail instead of fining
them, he will begin to make head
way in one very important item.

not IN conscience, he is compelled TO
obey this law as long So 1t stands on

Physicians Under Prohibition

40 ZIG cuttcT OK Inc tribune.
Sir: As matter of news The
Tribune states to-day that Governor
elect Smith Is opposed to the repeal OF
the Mullan-Gage act, and likewise you
make the editorial statement that
"there is taint of sharp practice
about promising the people state legis-
lation conflicting with the volstead
aet.''
There Is taint Of something worse
than sharp practice about the pro-
visions of the Volstead act relating to
the prescribing Of alcoholic beverages.
These can be wiped off che statutes Of
New York State without inpairing
those promises which are acknowI-
edged as within the legitimate powers
of the Federal government to enact
under the Eighteenth Amendment to
the Constitution. Among the powers
as get reserved to the states Is the
power to license the practitioners of
medicine and to regulate the practice
Of medicine within the borders of the
several states. While this power has
been assumed by the Federal govern
mont under the medical regulations Of
the Volstead act 1T can command
neither obedience nor respect until ii
is passed upon by the Supreme Court.
This cannot be said, however, of the
medical provisions Of the Mullan- Gage

ldleness Is Contagious

Arnold Bennett, in highly en-
tertaining essay, points out that
the only thing in the world that
man shares in absolute equality
with his fellows is time. To high
and low. rich and poor, are given
exactly twenty-four hours for each
day of their lives. Upon their. use
Of it depend their happiness and
prosperity.
1t is the contention Of John D.
Rockefeller jr., who, like Mr.. Ben
nett, is a philosophic student of so
cial conditions, that in this country
at least there is a disposition to al
lot too many of these twenty-four
hours to idlencss. Mr. Rockefeller
declares that when work goes out
OF style the nation will totter ara
fall. He avera that "this talk o1
six hours dag is childish and
pueriie."
1t may be that ths struggle for
six-hour day will continue 5zse
the same. But II IL fs successful a

which is vitality necessary 5uss ne4~.
incidentally. it will not profit the
people who divert two or four extra
hours from labor to idlenezs.

ever accomplished anything worth
while ever did SO by limiting his
work to six hours day. Mr.. Long
fellow observed that great men,
while their companions slept. were
teiiing upward in the night" And
all successful Americans, including
Mr.. Rockefeller's father, have been
SO much interested in what they
were doing that the 6 o'clock
whistle never tempted them to Law

Senate Leadership

When he wrote his letter about
committee reorganization to Sena-
tor Lodge Senator Medill Mccormick
did not know what was going to hap
pen on Election Day. Yet he picked
out very opportune moment for
suggesting the Abandonment of sem
iority for selection in the appoint
n,ent Of chairmen. An unusual NOR
tality list on the side Of the party in
power has made many vacancies and
woG!d greatly facilitate a new deal
next year in chairmanships and other
choice places.
Seniority plays a greater role in
the Senate than it does in the House.
This is natural in a small, long-term
legislative body. Experience and
service contribute the qualities most
regarded in the Senate's work. At
all times seniority makes for the
elimination of personal frictions. In
ordinary times it produces perhaps
rs good results as selection-noS&by
a superior but by equals-could pro-
duce in chamber where personal
rivalries and resentments are likely
TO have an unhappy effect on party
action.
Selection. however, Is the practice
in times of emergency. Then merit
is supposed to have free path
cleared for it. Mr.. Mccormick
seems TO consider that the Republi-
can majority In the Senate will face
a sort Of war crisis next year. 1t
will certainly face g grave crisis
81 far as some fruitful modification
Of leadership is needed. Can this
crisis be surmounted, however,
merely by casting seniority adrift
and saddling the distribution Of
honors on the altruistic impulses Of
a party caucus?
Republican Senate leadership was
bad at the last session. There was
TOO much McCumberism. Yet Mr..
McCumber was not even the titular
leader. 1t might also be said that
there was too much jockeying by
groups for tariff advantages or cleo
tloneering purposes, more than a
majority Of the Senate participating
In it a mere shift of leaders and
jumping new men over seniors to the
heads Of major committees would
not change all this.
What the majority requires is not
only new leadership, but new spirit
and a new outlook. McCumber led
OH the tariff and the bonus. But he
led only McCumberites. Some per-
sonal searching of hearts would be
to more advantage even than an ex-
ternal gesture replacing one presi-
dent of the Republican caucus and
chairman of the steering committee
by another, or determining Mr.. Nc
Cumber's successor at the head Of
the Finance Committee by selection.
A better average Of vigorous and
open-minded Republicanism is what
will be needed in the new Senate be-
fore any change in leadership can
lead anywhere.
