AND AFTER

Rock Creek Park players are
complaining loudly and bitterly
that the balls won't fall into the
cups in the approved manner.
Putt as they might, they couldn't
get the ball down. It seems there
has been some sort of union
between golf balls and this union
has decided to stay out OF the
cups until better treatment, shorter
hours and longer life is guaranteed
them.

with a chance to come in providing
their opponent never does, there
may be murder or two right
then. Medal play will keep them
in ignorance Of where they are
until later on. At any rate, any
one who misses that tournament
will have no one but himself to
blame.

NOW, in view or the nigh per-

~@~~AN NS@~ -
If he ever falls for the modern
mania, he can't say he wasn't
old enough to know better. Any
mischief man gets into after
seventy, is willful, that's all.
There is no such club in the
golfing repertoire as the baton,
but it is a handy little jigger to
have around, whether you are
leading a band or picking your
teeth.
The difference between the
march king and the ordinary
duffer is that Sousa admits he
can't play golf. He doesn't 60
to the trouble of stepping out
on the links to prove it.
Sousa told his interviewer
that golfers and poetry are very
much alike-there are two kinds
of each and most of them are
bad.
For a man who has spent
most Of his life slashing around
in the bunkers, it is a remark
able observation that Sousa has
never been guilty of golf.
By this time, he should have
a perfect follow through, and
his stance in the pit ought not
be equalled indoors or out.
His shoulders. once under
meath a drive, would carry a
ball until it threw an echo into
the mezzanine.
And a person with his under
standing of rythm, should never
miss a swing no matter whether
the rest of the orchestra was
timing it's shots or not.

INEVITABLE
Baltimore Evening Sum

Baltimore Evening Sum
The executive secretary of an
extreme pacifist" organization
has been denied the privilege OF
speaking in the schools of Wash
ington. Aside from the question OF
whether school children ought to
be forced to listen to propaganda
of any kind, it is natural that
Washington should oppose the pa
cifist doctrine. For Washington is
the capital, and hence full Of job
holders and aspirants for jobs.
1t is automatic that war vastly
increases the number of jobs and
the pay and perquisites of jobhold'
ers. Peace brings a painful sever"
ance from the payroll of some at
least OF these. Pacifism is, there
fore, little short of Bolshevism in
an atmosphere like that of Wash
ington.
Its protagonists should begin
their work where jobholders are
fewest and among those who would
have to do the fighting when wars
come.

A COSTLY OLD CUSTOM
youngstown Vindicator)


Since the grant OF equal suffrage
women have shown great interest
in politics and public affairs.
Their interest is not due to aspir-
alton for honors OF office, but gen.
orally to their sense of right and
public interest.
This was shown the other day 10y
Columbus woman who put a
question that has set Washington
to talking. She wrote to the con.
gresham from her district:
please inquire and inform us, II
economy is the watchword of this
administration, why the electoral
vote is not sent by U. S. (reliable?,
mail, and the needless expense Of
25 cents a mile saved to taxpayers?
Is such red tape and the necessary
thrill to a single individual to be
fleeced from would-be honest peo-
pie? l call it highway robbery"
Recently when the emergency
deficiency bin was before the
house one member offered an
amendment to strike out the $14,-
900 appropriation to pay the ex-
penses of the electoral messen-
gers at IS cents mile between
their homes and Washington. The
chairman of the committee on APP
preparations raised a point of or
der which was sustained, and the
government paid $4,000 for d
service which could have been rem
dered at a cost of SO cents for
postage.
The law providing for Is cents
mileage for messengers was passed
in 1891, the year the postoffice de-
partment was established. Mail
was then carried by stage coach
and on horseback, and there were
many delays which increased the
expenses of messengers. There
were few states then and none
more than a few hundred miles
from the capital.
1t is a costly old custom to
which We cling. AS one congress-
man said Of it, the waste is mex
cusable.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1925-03-21

be paid propaganda" as an emf
nent statesman recently said, but
the contempt which they express
is wider and older than anything
propagandists could hire.
Admiral Sims told an Investigate
ing committee the other day how
the navy got Guantanamo fortified
Fearing that if the fortification
proposal came up, some congress-
man would ask: "Where in hell is
Guantanamo ?" and there would be
nothing doing for 10 years, the
navy undertook the geographic ed
ucation of Congress.
To get the name of the proposed
station into the only literature con-
grcssmen read, naval maneuvers
were staged in Cuban waters, and
| newspaper men were taken along
to put the name "Guantanamo" in
to their stories as often as pos
sible.
Then, when the appropriation
later came up, congressman had
heard Of Guantanamo, and it went
through.
Failure to do the same thing
with Guam accounts for it's de-
fenseless condition.
That was 20 years ago, so "now
it can be told" 1t is a gooo, story.
But what of the service whose
members had this estimate of the
intelligence of Congress And
what Of the people who share that
estimate?
1t is not enough to demonstrate
that it is untrue and unjust.
If the people continue to think
that, even mistakenly, it is the be-
ginning of the wreck of democracy.
A government may survive the
hatred or the fear of it's people, as
many have. but not their contempt.
