to be performed. Harry Var.
don was credited with saying
that he always played for the
center Of the green.
OF course, that could not be lit
orally true, for at times there Is
no danger to be found In a shot
straight for the flag. 1t Is only
when the hole is in q dangerous
position close to the edge Of the
green that extreme caution Is ad-
visable. and then it should be
ways good enough to win.
Even in match play I have found
1t a good practice to be wary Of
taking chances. ! remember par
ticularly the fourth at oakmont
as one hole I could never summon
enough courage to try for in two,
although the green could be
reached with an iron after a long
drive. The front of the green was
very narrow and guarded by severe
bunkers. I Invariably played short,
relying on a rNn-up and one putt
to secure four. / think the only
time these tactics lost the hole
for me was against Watts Gum
in the final. Watts failed to see
terrifying about those
bunkers. His iron second was a
beauty, bringing up six feet from
the hole, and he holed the putt
for an eagle three.
But In the long run reckless
play does not win. The first
thing to remember in golf Is
that some shots must 60 astray.

They all can't be perfect. And
the man who wins is the one
who Is able to give himself
the greater margin for error.
In other words, If the shot is
aimed for the center of the
green, it will need a greater
mistake to throw il off than
il il was started for the pin on
the edge Of the trap.
have observed that most men
who play in the eighties fail to do
better because they allow one bad
shot to cost them several strokes.
The average man is seldom con-
tent to charge off a stroke when
he gets into trouble and to play
the next one safely out. He takes
chances which would be appalling
to an expert. 1t seems to me the
probabilities should be figured in
this way. IL the shot comes off,
and the chances are it won't, one
stroke is saved and a par hole is
scored. If the shot fails, the next
one will possibly be in no better
position. and so on. Usually two
or more extra strokes result. If
the shot to safety is employed, the
possible loss is limited to one
stroke, with always the chance that
one putt will still yield the par.

Gov. Fuller's Decision
Meets With Approval
70 the Editor of The Star:

1t is to be hoped that a large
number read your fine editorial of
Saturday and expressed approval of
your ideas as to the SaccO-VanZetti
case. Furthermore. it is hoped that
emphasis will be expressed as to the
Justice of Gov. Fuller's decision in
the case, adverse to the two men. 1t
seems not understandable to lay
reader of the case why so much is
given in the newspapers as to the
expressions of sympathizers of these
criminals and so little by those who
believe i'm law and justice"
II my understanding is correct.
Sacco and NanZetti are murderers.
Then why should they not suffer the
penalty for their crime?
Why in a so-called law-abiding coun-
try should men of their views" and
standing be permitted to talk, write
and act contrary to the laws of the
land?
While liberty Is for all, it Is within
limits that must be observed by all.
These people who have not the right
ideas Of this country's ideals should
go elsewhere. If France and other
countries approve of these criminals.
why not take them to their govern
ments' protection?
Seemingly this is a good time for
this Nation to make demonstration
of the rights and wrongs of freedom
of thought and speech as affecting the
rights Of people.
What have these men. condemned
for murder, done for this country, or
any other, to make better their asso-
ciates and the public at large? Should
they not be executed for their crime?

Gov. Fuller's Private
Inquiry Is Scored

To the Editor of The Star:
I think you are wrong In saying
editorially that there Is no basis of
complaint on the score Of the privacy
Of Gov. Fuller's investigation of the
Sacco-VanZetti case. The privacy Is
one Of many things that makes great
numbers of people suspect that SaccO
and Vanzetti have not been accorded
their full rights. They believe the two
men should have been given a second
trial, at which all the evidence for and
against them could have been pre-
scented in public.
AS you say, ''the forms of law" have
been complied with in Massachusetts,
but in Massachusetts the forms of
law" are not enough. In other States
a higher court could have passed on
the new evidence that has been pre-
scented, but in Massachusetts a
higher court could only pass on the
conduct of the court that doomed Sac
co and Vanzetti. So Sacco and Van.
Zetti are denied a new trial, which
millions feel they are entitled to.
Gov. Fuller's secret investigation,
violating the basic principles of Anglo
Saxon Jurisprudence. has condemned
Sacco and Vanzetti, but it has not set
tied the famous case.

Danger in Temporary Quarters.

An illustration OF the perilS to which
Government workers and records are
exposed owing to the lack OF an eX-
tensive and consistent public build
! ing program heretofore was afforded
| by the case of structure in this
! city which partially collapsed the
other night. giving rise at first to
suspicion of radical incendiarism. \
portion of the building was occupied
by a branch of the Department of
Agriculture which has been scattered
over a wide area owing to the lack
Of sufficient accommodations in the
Government-owned buildings devoted
to its uses. This is only one of
number Of such structures that are
now used for public purposes, Some
Of them were built by the Government
itself during the war. They are now so
decrepit that their continued use is
menace to life despite every posi-
BILE eXpedient of safeguarding them.
The present public building program,
for which authorizations for appro-
priations amounting to fifty million
dollars have been enacted by Congress.
will cure these conditions. Bureaus
and branches of Government service
now scattered in unsuitable quarters
will be properly housed in permanent
structures of substantial character
suitably located. But the program of
construction will cover a number of
years. In all likelihood half decade
must elapse before all of the construc-
tons contemplated under the terms of
the present program are completed
or even begun. Some of the offices
now housed in rented quarters and
Temporary" Government buildings
will remain for fully that length Of
time in such a situation. Meanwhile
their accommodations will have been
aging and deterioratinS.
In view of this recent mishap. which
fortunately caused no casualties, it is
in order to make thorough inspec-
ton of all the premises occupied by
Government bureaus and branches,
both rented and Government-owned,t to
determine whether they are safe for
continued use. No risk should be run
Of collapses that might cause many
deaths, not to mention the destruction
of valuable records, the loss Of which
would seriously impede the Govern
ment's business.

manner. The United

PHILOSOPHERS
BY
GLENN FRANK

I have been watching with intense
interest the development of Children:
The Magazine for Parents. 1t is a
new venture, journalistically good In
technique, and it's content rich In the
meat of mature good sense.
From the August issue extract
these summarized pointers which. as
parent, have found worth pondering:
We used to believe:
/. That children should obey blindiy
and unuuestionably every adult com
mand.
9. That the child should be forced
to do hard tasks for the sake OF dls-
ciplne and will training.
3. That all hard tasks were valuable
merely because they were hard.
a. That making children do unset
fish things gave them habits of unset
fishness.
5. That child training should be q
matter of unchanging routine.
We now believe:
|. That obedience should be based
on understanding.
.. That the child's interest should
lead him to do the task, whether 1t Is
hard or easy.
3. That the child's attitude toward
his tasks makes them valuable or
otherwise.
4. That unselfish actions must bring
So satisfaction to the child If he is to re-
peat them.
5. That child training requires a
constant REIMBURSEMENT of routine and
ideas.
The modern parent, whose mind is
modern, remembers always;
L. That freedom does not mean abb
sence of guidance.
.. That children need and are en-
titled to receive their parents best
Judgment and help in forming right
ways Of living.
3. That the strict, blind obedience
formerly demanded of children did
not always make for efficiency in later
life, but often hindered self-develop-
ment.
4. That obedience for its own sake
is not educative.
5. That children whose every act Is
directed will not learn the self-direc-
ton they will need in adult life.
g. That by learning to make deci-
sions for themselves, children develop
judgment and self-reliance.
Z. That simply doing unselfish
things under adult pressure does not
teach children unselfishness.
8. That restraint and repression i'm.
posed by adults do not teach self
control and consideration for others.
9. That learning comes for repeti.
ton of activities that give satisfac.
ton, whether these activities are in
themselves easy or difficult.
These pointers are worth FASTING on
the nursery wall.

court in practically the same form
| that 1t did when the court rejected the
pleas of the accused recently.
It may be asked why in this situa-
ton further hearing has been
granted The answer to this question
in which conviction has been based
upon circumstantial evidence. as In
this one. the courts are disposed to
yield every possible opportunity be-
fore the law is executed to set up
new arguments and afford a new
showing of fact.
1t is true that the partsans of
Sacco and Vanzetti have hailed the
delay as victory. 1t is. however.
not victory. merely postponement
of the apparently inevitable climax
Of the tragedy. Had Judge Sanderson
of the State court the other day rem
dered Immediately an adverse decision
on the petition for an appeal from his
unfavorable ruling, there would have
to deny the plea for reprieve and TO
allow the execution of the sentence.
But Judge Sanderson postponed his
decision over the time set for the exc
cution. and there was then nothing
for the governor to do but. in con-
siderat ton of the fact that a further
final appeal was possible, to grant a
respite.
Doubtless II the State Supreme
Court rules adversely when it meets
in full bench next week, as there is
every reason to expect that it WILL
further plea will be made to the gov
ernor for reprieve. though every
channel of appeal will have been
closed save through application. per
haps. to other justices of the United
States Supreme Court than Justice
Holmes. who has refused to inter.
vene. The situation all turns upon
what the State Supreme Court will do
next week.
1t would seem to he inevitable that
the condemned men should be exc.
cuted at the time now set. Nothing
will have been gained by the delay.
nothing will have been lost. The
radical reaction upon the execution
of the prisoners will he no more Sc

ment. But many people, not affiliated
with radicaism, who are not fully
convinced Of the guilt of the prison,
ers. will have been made to feel that
every possible consideration was given
TO them and every chance afforded to
secure a respite, and that all their
legal rights were respected.
