Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

They threatened violence
mutiny. But Columbus would
not turn. To all their threats
and pleadings he had but one
reply-"Sail on! SAIL ON"
Confident words. but how con-
fident was he in his heart. Not
confident at all, probably. AS
afraid. as lonely. as desperate
as the men who whimpered and
snarled about him. But of what
use was life unless a man kept
faith with himself and his own
adventure? Death ahead? Per-
hapS. But wasn't a brave death
better than cowardly surrender?
To him it was. He could not
determine whether success or
failure lay beyond the horizon,
but he could at least be master
of his own fears. Whatever the
cost he could cry-"Sail on!
SAIL ON"
You know the rest. At least
the land! And now all land
is mapped Tor you and me. Yet,
still. for all of us, there waits
an unknown sea. Some venture
beyond our common, charted
1ife-some dangerous risk that
challenges the soul. A tie to
break-a move to make
And other people don't under
stand. They say you're crazy to
do it. They Sneer and warn
and hinder-as they Sneered at
and warned and hindered Co
lumbus. How often he too must
have wondered If it was all
worth while. And yet he cried
SAIL ON"
Echo his cry! Don't turn
back! Shape your course and
stick to it! And to the sneers
and threats-the snarls of the
crowd, the weak, weary whimp-
ering of your own heart-make
but one answer-"SA1L ON"

happen to acquire so much
money that they have leisure
to run around in high-powered

The Washington times., 1930-06-13

Want to do something with
your life, don't you, stranger?
Want to be different from the
com m on contented herd?
Braver-more adventurous?
And, in your secret heart you
feel you are different " feel
that you could do something
strong and splendid, If you had
q chance. But -"
You get so discouraged, don't
you? People make it so hard
for anyone who's different.
Keep. telling you you'll fail.
Sheer and laugh at you If you
do fail. Until you cry, "Oh,
what's the use? I'd love to
break away-be free-amount
to Something-but it isn't worth
the effort. Why not be content
with things as they are?"
That the way you feel, friend?
I know. I've felt that way. too.
Perhaps this story will help you
as it helped me. They tell it Of
Columbus, and that mad voyage
beyond the worlds blue rim.
You and I, casually committing
about the globe, cannot possibly
realize what that voyage meant
to the people of 1892. Land be-
yond the horizon? Impossible!

person knew that. 1t was in.

hell awaited the man who chal-
lenged that belief. Yet, some
how, he convinced a few of them
and at last set sail.
Such a little ship in that vast
and trackless ocean! Day after
day. day after day, and still no
land. So presently terror. more
vast than the ocean, descended
on his crew. They begged and
clamored that he turn back.

1--WE can see nothing wrong
in the maxim, TO the victors be-
long the spoils.' Those words
were spoken by William Learn
ed Marcy on the floor of the
United States Senate in 1882,
and in their utterance was
voiced a then new policy Of
partisanship in appointments to
office under the National Ad-
ministration that has since con-
tinued and now seems in the
way to run on indefinitely into
the future.
The occasion Of the utterance
was the voicing of caust1c cr1-
ticism against Andrew jackson
for departing from the policy In
appointment to office that till
then had been generally fol
lowed by his predecessors, and
making appointments on a re-
ward.for-political services rem

tisan support.
And it was in answer to this
criticism that Marcy, then Sen

|GOLF STARS MUST
BEWARE OF SHUTE
Slender 0hioan Shows His
Worth in Los Angeles
Tourney Win.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

~ ENSMORE SHUTE is young
man with whom the greatest
stars of golf must reckon IN
future championships.
When the slender Ohpan tied for
third place in the national open at
Winged Foot, his achievement was re-
garded in some quarters as more or less
accidental But when he won the $10,-
600 Los Angeles open from brilliant
field over testing course and under the
most adverse weather conditions, the
quality of his game was proven.
Shute is no juvenile prodigy. He is
now in the middle of his twenties and
has been playing golf for years, having
started under the direction of his
father, veteran professional. For sew
eral seasons he was the leading amateur
of Ohio, although he never completely
dominated that mediocre field, and his
game showed little improvement.
It was only after he turned profess
sional that Shute began to develop his
game. Credit for his rise must be given
to certain changes in his early style and
hours of practice were required.
Some three Winters ago DenSmore
changed from the straight finger to the
overlapping grip and assumed more
upright swing. When Spring came, the
new grip and swing had acquired a
natural smoothness that made him sat
isfied with the changes.
Shute is quite tall and slender and
in addressing the ball there scarcely
Is any crouch to his body. He care
fully and firmly plants his feet and
swings with little or no pivot; his long,
rangy arms do most of the work and
provide leverage that gives him ire
mendous distance from the tees.
Shute came to the sixteenth tee in
the national open at Winged Foot need
ing three As to tie Bob Jones and Al
Espinosa. The sixteenth is a par five,
and Shute cracked his drive so far down
the fairway that his mashie niblick
second carried clear over the green.
When he wants to let out, Shute can
drive with most of the long hitters Of
golf.

FAMOUS DUELS AND DUELISTS
Clinton Fighting Wished His Opponent Was Aaron
Burr Who Later Slew Hamilton.
BY ]. p. GLASS.

He challenged Clinton, and Clinton
accepted.
AS they faced each other on the field
of honor, Clinton said:
at wish that had the principal, MI.
Burr, before me now"
Clinton was dead shot. There Is
every reason to think that II he had
fought Burr, the latter would not have
survived to kill Hamilton three years
later.
The circumstances in connection
with the Clinton-Swartout duel were
curious. Swartout brought with him
written apology for Clinton to sign.
The latter declined.
That Swartout escaped death must
have been due to the magnanimity OF
his opponent, who apparently tried
hard not to hit him, and when he
finally did wound him, took care to do
so in spot that would not prove
fatal.
The first exchange was without eff
feet. Mr. Riker, second of Clinton, then
asked Mr.. Smith, second of Swartout,
us your principal satisfied?
Swartout said he was not, and once
more shots were exchanged, but again
without effect. Does this satisfy your"
Swartout was asked. ut does not" he
replied.
The third shot also brought no
injury.

NO" said Swartout, NOR shall I be

Clinton spoke up, at will sign no
paper" he said. but I have no ami
mostly toward Mr. Swartout, and I will
willingly shake hands and agree to meet
with him because of cur former friend
ship"
This didn't suit Swartout. He still
insisted on Clinton's signature to the
apology Doubtless Clinton was begin
ming to be a bit peeved. When they
fired the fourth time he wounded his
opponent in the left leg below the knee.
He suggested that they now shake
hands and forget the incident. Swart-
out once more refused. They fired
again, and this time Swartout got an
other wound in his left leg just above
the ankle.
Such was his obstinacy that he de-
clined to quit. But Clinton had had
enough.
II will fire no more" he said. neither
will I apologize"
There was nothing that Swartout
could do about it. His wounds were
dressed and he was taken back to the
city. Clinton went his own way.

The famous De Witt Clinton Of New

Burr. It had its origin In the same
