"A rag that possesses no charms for Wash
ington, nor causes Washingtonians the un-
necessary futter Of an eyelash. The base
ball championship costs this city not a

is going TO happen 70 us-years Of con-
.servatve, habitual,f and persistent en-
deavor have taught us, and marked upon
our hearts indelibly. the foreordained and
unvarying end. From the fateful moment
when the first spheroid is swatted down

knows the sun shines and has for 10000
years.
How sweet, how satisfying. and how
good it is TO sit on the old. old spot at

No whooping, bowling fans to disturb the

Gov. Hughes. of course. is in no need cf
the Endorsement Of the New York Re
publican State committee for the Presi-
dency, nor would he beneh; by the adop-
tiOn of any resolution. however hatter-
ing, offered by Benjamin b. Odell. The
governor stands well clear of the pro-
fessional politicians and their petty in
trigues. He owes nothing 10 them. and
they know that he is likely TO become
everything 20 them. He is the party
most valuable asset. as Timothy Wood
ruff said. but we imagine he has no
mind TO permit a horde Of hungry poli-
ticians to thrive on his political valua-
ton.
Simply because Of these things. Gov
Hughes bulks larger in the country
estimation. He requires no headqUar-
ters, no noisy touting Of his capacities
none Of the mechanism Of the boom. His
audiences experience no other sensation
than that Of hearing an honest anC
sensible man. The mere spectacle Of q
waolesome-minded executive, attending
10 his own business, has set the nation
10 discussing his qualifications for IN,
Presidency. Hughes Endorsement may
come later-from a constituency quit,
other than that controlled by the Wood
ruffs and Odells.

pressive, since II We made use Of an
other word We have in mind. our state

But whether he be Irishman or not, we
are sure he is not prejudiced. and we ac-

Irish on their native heath We think,
too. that the general public will do the
same, and, If it does. those wanderers

A cattle show was given AT the Ennis

nothing, and I was perfectly willing to

Goy. Hughes. IN Leslies Weekly
When you get out where a man has a
little elbow room and a chance 10 develop.
he has thoughts Of MS own. His thinking
is not supplied 10 him every night and
every morning. and he is less OF a ma
chine and more Of a man. so that I do
not think that the farmers need to be
looked upon, or want 70 be looked upon,
as dependents Of the State. They do not
come 20 the State government asking
aims. They are seif-reliant they are in
telligent What we want in connection
with agriculture is what we want IN con-
nection with every other field OF noble
effort We want training. we want in
teiligenCe, We want scientific method,
we want direction. we want the way
shown, and then the man can walk In it.
There is no reason why the same care
and intention and skill and scientific con-
sideratiOn should not be devoted 10 agri-
culture as 10 industry and the technical
trades. The men who are running away
from the farms too frequently make a
mistake, and some day IN New York
and the day is rapidly approaching our
young men. IN larger numbers, viii wake
up 20 the fact that they have q pretty
good chance on the farm, and that they
may be 20 greater degree independents

Currency Reform Again.

The currency commission OF the Ameri-
can Bankers Association, in reporting on
its work of the past year, Acknowledges
the difficulty Of procuring any legislation
to provide a more elastic currency sys-
TEN. so long as such legislation promises

Of the banks The tendency IS we'll
nigh universal" says the report, Ito op-
pose granting added privileges 10 banks,
without realizing that such added priv
feges can only be used by the banks in
aid of commercial enterprise" The re-
port properly charaCterizes this frame Of
mind as ''UHTeasoning and unreasonable, -
but it is something which has 70 be
reckoned with, and il is not likely to be
greatly changed for the better until
bankers and financiers are agreed upon
the best method of reforming our cur
rency system, a situation that can hardly
be said 10 exist at present The dis
agreement among our financial doctors
is one of the chief obstacles to cam
paign Of public education that might
ultimately work a change In the popular
attitude toward currency reform.
The commission is still committed 70
the credit currency plan which was pre-
sented TO Congress at the last session.
That plan was adopted as a compromise
of the various projects for currency re-
form considered by the commission. II
contemplates the issue Of credit notes to
the amount of 70 per cent Of bond-seCured
..4r- 10 60 g % D
cent. and an additional z Ia per cent
subject 10 a ) per cent tax. Such a
note ISSUE It is confidently believed,
would not be subject TO imitation. and
would be amply secured by a redemption
fund. President Hepburn, Of the Chase
National Bank of New York, who IS also
chairman Of the currency commission
| describes the proposed plan as neither
comprehensive nor radical" It does not
conflict with the present currency sys-
TEN, but is in harmony Herewith. its
sole purpose being 10 provide an increased
bank note circulation 20 meet the grow

means to retire such circulation wher
