In _ its communication, th e committee also warns me not to cast reflection on the honesty and integ-- rity of board .members. Far be it from me to do that, but may I not question the judgment of men who do not advance a single sound reason for refusing to save Lake comnty tax-- That's rather poor argument and hardly befitting men of serious pur-- pose. <Perhaps it's the best they havre and does nicely to befog the issue. \ -- . It remains, nowever; that 20 to 30 acres is ample for poor house pur-- poses and that a proper site can be purchased for around ten to fifteen thousand dollars Value of the pres-- ent poor farm site, comprising 135 aweres, is variously estimated at from $800 to $1200 an acre. If sold for $1000 an acre and another 30 acres purchased for $15,000, the county would have left $120,000 to apply on cost of new buildings, could reduce the needed bond issue from $250.000 to $130,.000 and save taxpayers that $120,000 excess burden.

Experience has shown that women are not more conscientious than men in going to the polls. | : Because the popular primary and women's suffrage have been accompanied by a slump in the average percentage of votes cast does not fasten upon them responsibility for this loss of civic primary there would be more voting were and more real issues. or a little less. It is evident the popular primary has not solved the problem of civic indifference. > The primary system had become,quite general by 1910 and 1912, at which time about two--thirds of the eligible vote was be-- ing cast. Since that time the percentage has fallen to 50 per cent ' . THE GOLF AGE € Alkknglish clergyman once said of the strawberry: "Doubt-- . less God could have made a better berry, but doubtless He never . did."--For berry substitute golf, and you will have the enthusias-- «. tic approval of literally millions of Americans. Golf has been spreading through the United States at a tre-- E r pace. Clubs and players are increasing so rapidly, a of them would be stale and fail far behind the facts before _it could be.completed. It is perhaps the one game in America of _which it can be said that hundreds of thousands of peopleé pay _ money, not to see it played, but to play it themselves. It also has _the compelling fascination which draws enormous crowds when _the outstanding performers of the nation or world meet for a _championship tournament. international matches rank next to _the world series only in front page privileges. | Several politicians have intimated very broadly the belief that the primary system,;f choosing candidates--is responsible in a great measure for the apathetic state of the electorate; but they do not wish to be understood as arguing against the popular Golf wins and holds so great a multitude because it unites many appeals, the chief of which perhaps is its uncertainty. There are days when champion and duffer change places. There is nothing like it for exalting (temporarily) the lowly and bfinging down the proud. So long as such possibilities exist in golf, so long as it offers a core of mystery which the mind itself cannot fathom so long will the game go on. The game is dften praised for its value as an exercise, for its success in luring men of all ages out into the open for an inci-- dental walk of four or five miles over springy turf. But these things are mostly subterfuges. & PAGE FPOUR Mnncond--chu.mmroa;berl 1916, at the post c mmwwulmhz.ax'ma Issued twice paid into the ALONG THE CURBSTONES Observations By A MAN ABOUT TOWN The Lake County Register FRANK H.
