Current Comment
Connie Mack's Suggestion.

A proposition to change the rules Of
the national game is only second In i'm.
portance TO an amendment of the consti,
tuition. And what Is Of even more peril.
hence, the average citizen. whether OF
not he be a fan, is far better qualified
10 give an intelligent opinion on the for.
mer than the latter question.
For which reason Mr.. Connie AIack's
suggestion Mr. Mack Is just now pilot
ing the Philadelphia Athletics to vic
toryl that the present three-strike bur-
ial service be heightened and put upon
four-strike basis, deserves wide atten.
ton It should be settled BY a plebiscte
OF the fans, or what we call in this
country referendum.
Mr. Mack bases his proposal upon the
observed and well-authenticated fact
that many of onr players are unable
with the present three chances 10 find
the ball except by accident. This, ne
thinks. detracts from the spectacular in.
terest of the game, which would be
greatly improved By more hitting.
The argument has a plausible ring,
and if the greatest good to the greatest
number is the chief consideration Gas
it certainly isl the new cross put upon
the relatively few pitchers BY such a
rule would be more than justified by the
improved batting records Of nine times
as many players. The question is up

LOYALTY TO HOME INDUSTRIES


A short time ago the merchants Of
Fair Haven were worried because people
left town to do their tracing. Now
those same merchants have hired an out
side band to give weekly band concerts
All of which gives rise to the belief
that there might be little more CO.
operating in Fair Haven, to insure great
er prosperity. It certainly was not con.
sistent for the merchants to clamor
against the habit Of some people in
going outside Of the town to make their
purchases and to follow up that protest
IN engaging an outside band. Perhaps
the Fair Haven band, now defunct, might
have been still serving useful purpose
if the merchants had subscribed the
same amount for its support that they
are paying an outside organization for
weekly concert. The encouragement Of
nome industries is to be commended
whenever there is possibility Of at
tanning practically the same measure OF
satisfaction The Fair Haven mer-
chants might get together and encour.
age the reorganization of the local band
BY offering the Inducements which they
are paying to the other. Doubtless,
there would be other subscriptions to
the support Of the home organization;
and the local band would be able to
maintain an existence, something which

There seems to be good ground for the
complaint by "A music lover in the

IT Is severe arraignment against
the press in general that clipping from
the editorial page Of certain newspa-
per was found in the pocket Of that
man Gallagher, VINO shot Mayor Gaynor
of New York this week, the editorial
in question being of such nature as to
have melted man Of his mentality to
get even by the use of bullet. IL
is all the worse because the editorial
was the product Of man Of more than
little renown in the newspaper world
and whose pen might be welded for
tremendous good if there were more ball
ance to it. The case shows how the
press may mould public opinion for evil,
as well as for good, and the particular
editorial writer concerned should take
his lesson seriously, lest moro grievous
acts be perpetrated through his iniiu-
ence.

From the town of Manchester comes
the complaint of apparent irregularity
in making the quadrennial appraisal
property in some sections being raised
very materially, while in others the
appraisals are kept practically the same.
1t is possible that certain industrial de.
velopment in one section will have a
tendency to raise values faster than in
another; but If so the rentals from the
former property should be enough larger
to make the added appraisals reason
able. However, where certain sections
are burdened with higher appraisals
without the cause above mentioned,
there is strength behind the complaint.
Happily, the Law gives a chance for APP
peal on the appraisals.
