A Golfers Gold Mine.
(Manchester Weekly Guardian


 It has been observed often enough in recent years that Americans work at golf whereas the less intent English merely play it. If that be true, it is also true that the work of the American does not go entirely unrewarded: the laborer is worthy of his hire-and, what is more, he gets it. Bobby" Jones was said to make f15000 year out of writing syndicated golf articles for the American press the reported profits for his film appearances were set at anything from f100000 to half million sterling. But Gene Sarazen, his successor as British and American Open champion, is not doing so badly on straight salary basis; it is now announced that he has accepted a two years contract with an American sports promoter" for guaranteed salary of f25, 900 year. Even film stars might look at the figure with respect professional golfers in this country with amazement. It seems a princely re- ward for athletic prowess; however hard hit Am erican industry may be, there is no sign of a break in the market for supreme opponents of popular sports. Every man has his price, and though some former mionares in the realm of finance may be reckoned at two a penny the cash value of double -barrelled golf champion keeps up wonderfully we'll The Americans have done more than turn golf into an industry: they have transformed it's championships into giltedged securities

The Price of Politics.
Cincinnati Enuuirer.l

The increase of the postal rate domestic letters to three cents, effective, represents a slight change in the habits and expenditures of 120000000 persons cent more for each letter mailed is not going to bankrupt the country In- deed, few of will notice the change, save in the readjustment of habitual requests for two-cent stamps
 But considered increase of $160000000 in the annual postage bills of the country the change furnishes some food for thought It was not to make firstcass mail self-supporting that the change was made. It to help balance the Federal budget. The increase was part of a revenue bill, not part of Post Office supply bill.
 Another $160,000,000 out of the peoples pockets this is the meaning of the change from red to purple stamps. It is part of the price we must pay for the political extravaganza and reckless log rolling of recent years in the halls of Congress.
 The change of the postal rate helps take the Government out of red and it really means another device to keep the Government in royal purple. It is an ironic sideight the event that the color of royalty makes its appearance for the pur- pose of keeping extravagant Government plen- tifully supplied with the funds that will support it in the luxury of royalty.
 Every time a citizen places a three-cent stamp of royal purple envelope, he ought to re- member that he is paying, not for postal service alone, but for the enormously costly royal estab- lishment of our Republic.

 Although cigarettes are an outstanding example of American products sold in China that nation is also a market for other essential American products. Chief among these are cotton for the spinning mills, wheat and flour from the Pacific Northwest, and fresh and canned fruit from the Pacific Coast American canned goods are highly prized because of their excellent quality and are given gifts at the celebration of the Chinese New Year.

 Incensed several hundred citizens joined the strike sympathizers, swelling the crowd to an estimated strength of 5000. It rapidly turned into a mob as brickbats, stones and

 The detective force, increased to 40 after the first trouble, was hope lessly overpowered. The guards fled eight blocks through rain of missiles to the borough hall. where they were given protection. During this rout more shots were fired, but none was believed effec- tive.
