Harding is a much better golf player than Wood- row Wilson was, as most any Waihington caddy will tell you; in fact, he plays a pretty fair game. That! doesn’t help you any, of course, for the best player in} the world might find himself in the rough all the way if he took up the presidency as a pastime. But this will help you: Harding plays the same sort of game on Tuesday that he does on Monday, and the same sort on Saturday that he plays on the other days of the week. He has certain strong points. He usually gets away with a long, straight drive. If that lands him in a spot from which an average good approach shot will en- | was going down Pike at.

But if that first long drive—always practically the same as to distance—should have been longer or shorter in order to avoid trouble, Harding His chances of getting |out of trouble effectively are about 50-50. If a bit of brilliant daring is required, he will be lacking. In- stead he is more apt to lift the ball out with a mashie shot to a safer spot and lose the extra stroke. A brilliant opponent, in the same predicament after his first drive, might measure the distance with his eye, say to himself, “If I clear the lower branches of that tree by five feet, keeping the ball low, I'll like- wise miss that other group of trees beyond. Then, if driven hard enough, I'll bring the ball up inst the! hillside sloping into the fairway. It requires a clean, | accurate smash with a mid-iron to do it, tho it’s a bad lie for a mid-iron, and it’s hard fo geta good stance in this swampy ground. However, here goes!” And he does it—or he doesn’t. If his eye and arm are as good as he thinks, he has gained a stroke or two jon Harding. If not so good as necessary, he probably has hit one of the trees and dropped back into the ditch, from which he will require several strokes to ex- tricate himself. There is a good deal of Harding’s character in his vac dag can apply it to his statesmanship any way you like. Banish Blue Monday BYE Monday is your bugbear—I hear you say!

In the Editor's Mail - | REFORMS BRING JOY NOT GLOOM, SAYS CRAFTS Editor The Star: Relying on your loyalty to the most fundamental rule of journalistic ethics, that errors of fact tn newspaper reports are enti- tled to correction, I write to may that your report of the interview with me | yesterday was manifestly done by one of your fiction writers, who re gards “pep” above accuracy, and| draws on his imagination largely for his facts. For example, he named certain modern dances a8 condemned by me whose names I never so much aa heard, tho I know a long list of new dances, named from barnyard fowls and beasts of prey, besides the “shimmy” dance and the “cheek-to- cheek,” whose very names should be regarded as an insult, in my opin-; fon, by all rea! ladies and gentlemen But your main inaccuracy is in the headline, describing me as the au-| thor of “glum laws.” | Now, that t# clearly a question of fact, and I claim the right of appeal to your readers whether the 18 laws I have drawn, which congress has| passed in 26 years, believing the peo- ple were for them as promotive of | the general welfare, and the half. dozen laws we are asking the Pacific const to support in this congress, are laws to promote gloom or gladness, for example, in the hearts of moth-| ers who are just now in all our thoughts, and of whom I am to speak to men only at the Y. M.C. A. this evening, The laws of congress which I initi- ated include the war prohibition act, | which closed saloons in 15 of our! most populous states, such as Cali fornia, New York, Pennsylvania and Massachnsette, six months and 16 days before constitutional prohibi tion went into effect. The votes of this state do not in- Gicate that the majority of the peo- ple régard the elimination of saloons as a kill-joy. “A good time is one that doesn’t go off with the having,” and “Nothing is pleasure that is not pleasant to re-| member.” Two of our lawn were for restric tion of divorce, Is divorce really an exhilarating amusement, or does ev. ery divores mean a long tragedy for husband, wife and children? One of our laws barred out prize-| fight films from interstate and for. eign commerce. Was it a subtrac What ip the lowest number which, tion of national happiness that the {time of a negro under Indictment for “white slavery,” knocking out an equally brutal white man, and the Dempsey fiasco at Toledo were kept | from our American boys? Has the international reform bu- reau really reduced happinees by Jaws secured, with the aid of reform amociates, the W. C. T. U. and the church reform boards, prohibiting gambling, seduction of giris, trane- portation of obsceng literature and the sale of opium and liquors in mis. sionary lands? As to laws we are promoting, would it reduce happiness to cut eff the hypocrisy of prescribing beer as @ medicine? To stop interstate gam- bling by messages and machines? To secure a divorce amendment to the constitution? And to stop dope smuggling and dope peddling—the last a law drawn by the China club of this city, introduced at Washing. ton by your Senator Jones and Con- gressman Miller, and ably cham. pioned by Mr, McKibben, with whom we are co-operating to enlist the peo- ple of this Coast especially, for Chi- na‘s protection against the American morphia invasion? At the very time your report of the interview was being put on the street, I was showing, at a noon/| lunch conference tn the Y. W. C. A..| that reformers are themselves the happiest men, because. they ‘know | they are cutting the deopest roots of | human sorrow, For example, Wash- ington emancipating a nation from despotism; Moses and Lincoln eman- | cipating millions from physical slav-| }ery, as others of us are liberating| men from the deeper slavery of evil | | habita. ‘We ask your aid in one of the su- preme tasks of today, when more time is given to amusements than to either of the other three grand divi- sions of life—religion, politica and business——in teaching the new gener- ation that real happiness comes only thru true recreations, never tra deel pations. We oppone dissipation onty. We promote recreations, not by negative prohibitions only, but by recreation commissioners who travel to make the recreational life of the nation both happy and contributory to strength of body, mind and soul of our people.

Surplus Capacity of the Puget Sound Power & Light Company Since 1905 ‘THE above chart was shown at the Washington Manufac- turers’ Exhibit in the Arena, Seattle, where it attracted a great deal of attention. At that time there were many re- quests that this chart be published in the newspapers. There have been many requests for such publication since. To com- ply with those requests the chart is herewith reproduced. cc OS RL CR ACK, SN A SE PE, OM Be a The figures are given in terms of horsepower.
