so each individual is responsible
for peace, and that parents should

tent for his mistakes, and be made
to understand that "As a father
torgiveth a child. so does God for.
give His children" Children should
be taught cooperation and to be
helpers, and to be taught sharing,
not giving; not castoffs, but the
best to whoever needs It. The
speaker said, that after one knows
his neighbor, both local and in diff
ferent countries. one has a feeling
OF hnship. which Is the real basis
OF peace. and that an understand
ing OF the rights OF different races
and an appreciation Of them, Is the
true heart and center Of peace

champion, to advocate playing balls
as they lie. He can hit them when
they are smuggling close to the
ground, but what about us buffers?
There are certain places in the
rough that man just can't get out
of unless he tees up the ball. Place
a ban on discreet cheating and there
will be thousands of golfers who will
never get home for dinner. The
woods will be full of them.
Caddy Can Help, Too.
I think it safe to say that the
average duffer makes his best shots,
the ones that thrill him the most,
from the deep and tangled rough.
The good golfers, like Ouimet and
most Of the officers of the U. s. G.
A., prefer to play from the fairway.
1t is smooth and green, clipped and
manicured, but 1t has this drawback: /:
A man playing from the fairway can
be seen. He is conspicuous. If he
touches his ball or rolls 1t on a little
tuft of grass, or If he steps behind
1t to make it sit little higher, he
can be seen. 1t takes q bold man,
indeed, to do this.
But In the rough, the sweet and
blessed rough, a man is screened by
trees, bushes, brambles and assorted
bits Of Natures handiwork. He can
really get down to business in there,
particularly If he has chosen a
caddy who is behind in his Christ
mas fund, or one who is paying his
brothers way through barber COL
lege. A caddy Of this sort will al

He will either accidentally kick
the ball or, in extreme cases, chop
down the tree. There is a definite
technique to improving the lie of q
ball in the rough. Men with big feet
can walk round and round ball as
II looking for it until all the weeds
and bushes are trampled down,
Then there is the Identification
system. In this system slightly
larcenous golfer will pick up his ball
and examine 1t for fear of playing
the wrong ball. When he puts it
down you may be sure that he will

partly to natural consideration for
the deceased's family and partly to
the kindly desire not to recite un-
pleasant truths when the citizen has
ceased to live.
It is commendable practice, pro-
vided the eulogies do not become
hypocritical and absurd. Particu-
larly is this so in the case of public
men whose records and character
for the purposes of history, 1t Is de-
sirable to keep clear and straight
The eulogies Of the late President
Roosevelt in the week following his
death reached heights of extrava-
gance heretofore unknown.
This was natural enough. At the
time Of his death Mr.. Roosevelt was
easily the most outstanding man in
the world. He had successfully led
this Nation in the greatest of all
wars. He had some extraordinary
qualities and very great and de-
voted following. But, while the Ma
tion united behind him in the war
effort, more than 21,000,000 persons
voted against him in 1914 and a
considerable number of those who
voted for him did so because of the
war and did not have high opinion
Of him personally.
No Service to Memory.
Combined, these constituted close
to half the Nation and not many of
them care even now to have forced
upon them the extravagant estimate
which the Roosevelt admirers insist
upon having accepted. It seems no
service to his memory to continue
this extravaganza or to ascrlbe to
the dissenters motives of personal
hate and political bitterness-or to
refer to them as ghouls.
This situation has not been i'm
proved by the eulogies of Mr.. Harry
Hopkins with which the country has
Nrecently been drenched. A more or
less concerted effort apparently is be-
ing made to convince the Nation not
only of his wisdom and virtue, but
that he will go down as one of the
great Americans in history; that he
too, was a casualty of war" and
that his contribution was such as TO
put him among our immortals.
Without disparagement of Mr.
Hopkins, this seems a little far
fetched. AS the closest friend, con-
f1dential adviser and agent of Mr.
Roosevelt, Mr.. Hopkins undoubtedly
played a considerable part in cur
war effort. And he was completely
loyal and devoted to Mr.. Roosevelt.
Considering what Mr.. Roosevelt had
done for him, how could he have
been otherwise?
AS had quite a few others, un-
questionably, Mr.. Hopkins had his
heart and soul centered upon win
ming the war. AS Mr.. Roosevelt s
closest friend and representative he
endeared himself to such Allied
statesmen as Mr.. Churchill and
Mr.. Bevin, being very much on
their side, seeing very much eye
to eye with them. Also, there is no
doubt that he was an effective
presidential agent, a competent man
in conference. useful in other
ways.
But to say that Mr.. Hopkins
contribution to the war effort was
so vast that it makes secure his
place in history as great Amer
ican," giving him lasting fame. ~
