l used to be a great nurse of
my clubs. but experience during re-
cent years has shown me the fallacy
Of harboring any tender and affec-
tionate ideas regarding clubs. I was
thoroughly cured of that, think. the
day when a rusty and useless old
putting cleek I had long cherished
lost me chance at a championship
at Apawamis. I got a beating that
was all on the greens. and I got 1t
because I had some foolish affections
for a wornout club.
The makers of golf equipment now
improve the clubs SO fast. and incor-
porate such thoroughly useful and
helpful things In the clubs that
never know now when I shall add a
new member to my bag.
The golf club is the instrument
with which you play your game.
Clubs are the tools of war, so to
speak. The better you are equipped
the better your game will be, obvious
ly. But golfers have a strange habit
Of developing a real feeling for one
club or another. This Is very good
so long as the club does all that you
expect 1t to do. But the player will
go through physical changes and Will,
perhaps because OF devotion to the
out of doors pastime. become stronger
in his forearms, shoulders, wrists.
Suddenly his favorite driver, we will
say, begins to fall down on him. But
he holds onto 1t because of his af-
fection for II. II he understands
what has happened it will dawn on
him that the time has arrived to buy
new driver and throw the old one
into the creek, affections and all. Its
day has passed.
Other players have a club or two
with which they never feel confident.
They carry these to 'experiment"
with. They draw them forth now
and then with never any sense of
security. hoping all the time that the
day may come when they really can
use such a club efficiently. Any such
clubs should go into the discard.

Morrison, expected to be the big
star, Is now coming around finely.
The Pirates, usually strong hit
ting team, are not batting as Of old,
being fifth in the league with .282,
but they have been picking up smart
ly and timely. Smacking has been
big factor in their speedy ascent.
Defensively, there seems hardly any
thing to be desired. And as for
speed-they have shown the way to
every club in the majors with 124
on recent statistics. PiIfering Is
nothing IL not important. They've
worked the double steal to perfec-
tion, making the Giants look silly
several times in trying to stop 1t.
The Giants have only stolen 80
satchels-nothing at all compared to
the Pirates.
The hitting of Hazen Cuyler, who
can wallop them afar or place them
niftily, has been one of the luminous
features of the Pirates work. An
other player who has helped the
Pirates greatly Is Earl Smith, the
catcher, who was thorn with Nc
Graw and not much more popular
with the Braves. This rough-and-
ready son of Ozarks has been catch
ing the best game of his career with
the Pirates, and was good enough to
take the job away from Walter
Schmidt and Johnny Gooch, two Of
the best.
However, 1t must be said that all
the Pirates are pulling together and
doing nightly. 1t would be an in
justice, however. not to mention the

nor as other leading lights.
The Pirates climb has made a big
hit with the magnates. The terrific
race between the Yankees, Tigers and
Senators in the American league,
with the Browns squirting now and
then, had the fans all hoped up.

old to improve, but he entered the
ring in perfect condition against the

safe margin at the end Of Is torrid

BY Congressman Martin B. Maddsr

BY Congressman MdAun ID. AAoAsAa
The paramount issue in this pres
idential election is the preservation Of
our fundamental laws and the right OF
the United States Supreme Court TO
interpret them.
II is only by living close to the Con-
stitution that the rights and liberties
of the minority are secure. If the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court can be
set aside By Congress, what assurance
have we that a radical Congress would
not sometime enact laws taking exist
ing rights away from those who most
need protection7 To place in the
hands Of Congress such power would
be to say to any minority; you have
no rights which we are bound to re-
spect."
It must be well understood that
there is a decided movement in favor
Of eliminating the power Of the Su-
preme Court to decide the constitu-
tionality of laws enacted by Congress
and to grant authority to the Con-
gress to override such decisions of the
Supreme Court.
The Constitution Of the United
States, as it exists today, was written
after many years Of careful considera-
ton and after the expenditure of vast
sums of money and the loss of many
lives. It may, therefore, be said to
have been written in the blood of our
ancestors.
Shall we say now that all this shall
be set aside at the behest of radicals
who believe in taking the Government
into their own hands irrespective Of
iaw7
Only through the continued main
tenance Of our form of Government as
it was created by our forefathers are
the rights of the minority safeguarded.
What if some radical movement
should succeed and radical Congress
and President be installed in power?
What if such a Congress and such a
president should be elected on the
issue of the abolition of the Constitu-
tional guarantees? That is the issue
today. We are all interested in de-
feating such an issue, but no one is
SO much concerned in its defeat as the
minority. think all other questions
before the American people in this
campaign pale into insignihcance.
Financial problems have been
handled with great fidelity by the
existing Government. No such
achievements have been accomplished
by men in control of any government
anywhere as have been accomplished
under the direction of the present Re-
publican Government now in control
Of the nation.
We have man in the White House
who believes in law and order; who
has the courage of his convictions;
who is in sympathy with those who
most need the protection Of their
rights He has the confidence of the
American people; he has earned it.
False prophets should not influence
any Of us in the course which we
should follow in the coming election.
We have paramount duty. That
duty is to protect our own interests
and to preserve the rights which have
been accorded to us by the Consti-
tuition and laws of the land. We can
best preserve them by continuing Cal
vim Coolidge in the presidency and the
election of Congress which believes
in fair dealing and whose sympathies
60 out to those who are most likely
to be Disseminated against in the
event Of a radical success.

Samuel J. Drew, aetins judge of the

in countrywide campaign for the en-
forccment of the prohibition laws. Since
ascending the bench in May he has inn
posed penalties of $500 to $500 on more

five. He warns those who are brought
before his court that a second oHense
will mean so to % days in jail.
A recent enforcement campaign which
was supported by Mayor George +. Sch
ring and Police Commissioner William
Hennessy resulted in closing many So
called soft drink licenses. Since January
l, SO of the total of GO places have been
closed for violation or have voluntarily
quit business. Of this number % lost
their licenses, p including 3 brewerics,
were closed by injunction, and IS closed
voluntarily. All former soft drink par
Tors in the business district are now occti-
pied by legitimate enterprises.
There has been an awakened public
sentiment. The Will County Law En-
