more on errors.
Overall started to pitch for the cubs,
but was knocked out in the seventh on
three consecutive blows. He had been
reached for seven hits, two bases on
balls and a sacrifice in the first two
innings, but the dodgers balled things
iup and got only three runs out of the
mess.
AS soon as Pastorius saw he had a
nice lead built up for him and a bully
chance to win he lost his noodle and

Emergency Currency.

Congress listened to the general ap-
peal of the country for an emergency
currency bill and passed an act which
at least furnishes opportunity for ex-
pertinent. Possibly another currency
famine has been prevented, but no
sweeping change has been made in the
currency. Had there been no trouble
about obtaining currency last fall it
is probable that there would have been
currency legislation Of different Or
der. The subject has been under ad~
visement for some years, and general
measure, to include emergencies, will
doubtless be perfected by the currency
commission created at the late session
before the emergency act is put to a
satisfactory test.
No plan for an elastic currency
which shall be entirely free from OBJ
jectionable features Is likely to be
found. The German system Of provid-
ing currency for emergencies has
proved unsatisfactory after being in
operation thirty years. The one ele.
ment of danger in an emergency cur
rency, that of wild imitation, has been
guarded against, it is believed, in the
recent act Of congress. Imitation will
be Improbable, for issue Of currency
by the banks will be regulated by the
rate Of interest prevailing in the mar
ket. In effect the new measure lets
the currency of the country alone. 1t
may be handy to fall back on some
time when there is serious scarcity
Of currency.

The ssHouse of Governors. -

| Failure of the individual states to
shoulder their share Of the nations
legislative responsibility was empba-
| sized by Secretary of State Elihu Root
In a speech which attracted much at
tention year and half ago. Control
must be lodged somewhere, he de-
clared, and if the states fail to furnish
1t in due measure the power will some
how be vested in the national govern
ment. A better solution of the diff
culties involved could be found in a
''house of governors" urges William
George Jordan. whose suggestion, set
forth in a pamphlet published some
time ago, led to the recent conference
of governors at the White House. TO
quote from the pamphlet:
In the congress of the United States
the senator's chosen as they are by the
state legislatures, nominally represent
their states, but not the people Of their
states, for the latter have no direct voice
in their selection. The members Of the
house of representatives do not represent
their states but simply districts of their
states. With ties to their constituents
and with duties and obligations to them,
they may In theory have the interest of
the entire state as @ matter Of paramount
Importance In their hearts, but in fact
they never lose sight Of the finality OF
value in the congressional district. The
governor Of the state, however Is elected
by the people is directly responsible to
the people and is in constant touch with
the people. keeping his fingers close
pressed on the pulse of their needs and
problems. The voice of the governors
therefore, in the proposed new house
means new, direct, vital representation
of the people in the affairs Of the state
and in the harmony of the states making
up the nation such as the people have
never yet had in the life Of the republic
The "house Of governors Mr.. Jor-
dan thinks, should never aspire to law
making power, but find its force "in
initiative, in inspiration and in int1u-
ence." AS he observes, it must seem
to the unbiased mind that forty-six
governors with the lawmaking power
Of forty-six legislatures behind them
would in time become an inherent part
in the American idea of self govern
ment and powerful factor for the
good Of the nation. States may make
agreements among themselves and car
~ them out if congress doesn't object
Thus the "house Of governors" has al
ready legal, official and constitution
al status. The chasm between the ma
ton and the individual state is bridged
In word, the "house of governors"
would provide possibly the best avail
able instrument for securing that uni
formity in state legislation which is
urgently needed in such matters as d.
vorce, child labor, factory, income and
inheritance laws as well as the regula-
ton of interstate commerce.

entries In the games If all the countries
entitled to representation in each event

course they will not. Nevertheless the
contestants will form very large and

Britain will spend a great deal of
money in entertaining the visitors.

It is fortunate that the American

secure the cream Of the college talent
for the London meet for it will make
1t certain that America will have even
q stronger team than was sent to
Athens two years ago. 1t will be par

athletes will be furnished from all

Is every reason to hope that they will

VIZ N the athletic world no event can
compare in interest this year with
the Olympic games which are to
be held in London in July. From
nearly all the countries of the globe
amateurs representing the muscle and
endurance and skill of their respective
nations will gather at the British CAPT
tai to battle for the world supremacy
In the way the Greeks did in the days
of their pristine vigor. When the
Olympic games were established, some
hundreds Of years before the Christian
era, the Greeks thought themselves the
only people worth taking into consider
alton and other nations only "barbari-
ans" Since that time good many
other nations have come to count for
something, but the Greeks are still in

The United States will send splen-

athletes in the various events of this

largely of men from the colleges, in
this respect being different from the
team sent to Greece two years ago, for
then the games We're held at time
which made it difficult If not impossi-
BILE for college men to compete. July
Is a month when they can easily take
part, being right in the middle Of the
usual college vacation. The games
form part Of the lo-French exposi-

summer and are to take place in a
great stadium which has been erected
for the purpose and which cost $780,

will be opened by King Edward VII.
on July IS. The games begin the next
day and continue until July Is. There
will be 1O5 events, the most popular
of which will be the twenty-five mile

kings palace at Windsor and end at
