DEMOCRATS TAKE UP SERIOUS TASK


The Democrats who framed The majority re-
port of the House Ways and Means COMMITTEES
on the free list bib have well-nigh cut the
ground from under the feet OF Republican oppo'
nents OF that measure. The report is filled with
excerpts from speeches and messages by Presi-
Republican congressman, who admit that tho
present tariff is too high and thatsthe protection
scheme is a failure because it is not only in
equitable. but burdensome.
The majority report shows that passage OF
the free list bill would decrease the revenues
of this country by s1o,o1G.495 year. This is
estimated from the importations of last wear 1t
is a serious thing to take s10.o1G,4s5 from the
vommon treasury of this country: quite the
most serious thing that has been proposed in
many wears but the Democrats insist this
amount is "inconsiderable in comparison with
the great saving and advantage to all OF our peo'
pie from the additions to the free list provided
for The enaction into law Of this measure
means more rigid economy in the conduct OF
national governmental affairs than has been

greatly reduced, the revenues of this country
will be inadequate to meet the demands after
s10,016495 has been taken away. Public bust
ness must be conducted vastly different
basis from that in which It has been admins
tered for several decades, for where dollar is
taken from the tariff revenue corresponding
reduction must be made in expenses.
The Democrats have essayed a hercuIean task
in proposing the free list bill. for they win moi
only have hard fight to put it through, but
when they have succeeded. they will be confront
ed with the task of radically reforming tbs
business OF this country.
/ The American people have been crying fol
relief from the oppressive Payne-Aldrich tariff
measure, and the Democrats have provided 1t II
the free list bill. The responsibility for the
free list bill viii rest with the American people
whose wishes have been obeyed.
Among the many other interesting thing
contained in the report is The Canadian reci

1t is strange but true that some of the
most valuable players are not always ap-
preciated. and this is usually the case
with those who are not banS-up hitterS.
George Mcbride is one of the players
who suffers thus. Though Mcbride IS Il
consistent 80 hitter. which is better than
Bush Wallace. Johnson of New York,
Zeider and Corhan of the White Sox,
Harry Davis and LatherS are doing, his
failure to be a better sluSger seems to
cause many patrons of the game to over
look his real value to the team. Mcbride
prevents more base hits every year than
he makes. and when 1t comes to touching
base runners or making sensational
throws to the plate he has no equal. Most
! any kind of catcher looks good with
Mcbride handling the throws, for the rea-
son that he tags runner no matter
where he gets the ball. Yet one can hear
more dissatisfaction expressed about Nc
| Brides playing than any other player.
Fortunately. Mcbride is Of that tempera-
ment where criticism does not affect him.
but it is to be regretted that so earnest
and capable a ball player is not appre-
ciated more.
The asking of waivers on Pitchers
Vaughn and Quinn by the New York
club comes as a surprise. for there have
been innumerabe instances when this
pair has pitched good ball. and ii would
seem that either both would stand Il
chance to strengthen the National pitch
ing staff, a department where the team

not known whether waivers have been
asked for the purpose of getting rid of
cheese players, or whether it is a feeler
20 find out what some of the other clubs
will give. or an effort to throw scare
into the two pitchers. At any rate, it
might not be a bad plan to make eff
fort to secure one or both of them for
the Nationals.

With Jim McAleer in control of the
Boston club. it becomes necessary for the
owners of the Nationals to give the mat
ter of his successor some thought.
1t is to be hoped that when this selec-
ton is made an individual will be chosen
who has no outside interests, and Will
give his entire time to an effort to better
conditions here. Whether it will be policy
to chose the new manager from the ranks
of the present team or go elsewhere for
man is a matter for the club to decide.
! There is no doubt that if one of the
PLAYERS is chosen he will be an expert
ment, and yet this fact should not pre-
vent such a selection What the Ma
tionals need is hustler; some base ball
man who will take the position seriously
and will not go on the theory that if his
team wins a game occasionally the
| public will be satisfied; man who will
try to teach his youngsters the game. and
insist upon the veterans playing it in an
up-to-date manner; someone who VIII
make an effort to disprove that Wash
ington cannot have a winner.
Such man. no doubt. can be found.
Perhaps he is on the team even now. In
stead of the position of manager of the
Washington team being soft snap, 1t
ought to be made a most strenuous one
by the man who occupies it. Only by
hard work and constant hustling can con-
ditions be improved here. 1t must be
realized that the local club can boast
of only a nucleus for a strong agsre-
CATION, SO that the man in charge will
have something more to do than direct
the plays from the bench If he wants to
make a success of 1t.
The one great handicap under which
the local club has suffered is that it
seems to be the general impression that
most anything is good enough for Wash

/ The question of who will take Jim Nc
! Alcers place as the manager, of the Ma
j tionals will not be definitely decided until
some time during the coming winter
The officials of the club will naturally
| have many Informal discussions of the
! subject. but no appointment will be made
| for some time. The impression has been
created that Jim McAleer has recon-
| mended George Mcbride to succeed him.
| This, however. does not seem to be the
case. President Noyes said this morning
that McAleer had made no recommends
tons, and that for the present no one
was being considered for the position.
McAleer will continue in charge Of the
team until the end of the season, and
not until then will the question of his
successor be taken up. Having had five
,, years of bench managing, it is not un-
likely that the local club will make a
special effort to secure a playing mana
ger, but whether he will be appointed
from the ranks of the team will not be
decided until later.
As IS usually the case under existing
conditions, iumors of all kinds are float
| ing about. and the names of Mcbride,
Sehaefer, Harry Davis, Clarke Griffith
and Ned Hanlon are being mentioned in
| connection with the position. But, as
said before the matter has not even
been discussed as yet by the owners of
| the club
If there is game today and it is rath-
| er doubtful. either Walter Johnson or
| Dixie Walker will pitch for the Nationals,
while either Hamilton or George will per-
| form for the st. Louis Browns. Johnson
has not lost a game to st. Louis in two
| years.
Connie Mack expects the worlds series
to be between his team and the Giants.
| and he also is sure that they will be
pitchers battles. This is what he has to
say of the games:
