The leading literary lights, engaged
1T enormous expense to write up the
great game, were all Enthusiastically
busy, as these extracts will show.
Burlington Bangs, the eminent Alas

embrace OF the child of fate in the left

and when he stopped on second base
they called another batter"
Professor Bigsby Dinglebat, the emf

the hit was recorded discovered that
the temperament Of the New York
players Is greatly freshened By the
proximity Of the salty element, while
on the other hand the ego Of the Phila-

muddy Delaw ware and the Jersey

A studious person can. by thinking
long enough. find reasons for almost
anything. They will not be necessarily
good reasons. but they may be pre-
sentable-like those Of the young man
who in an examination was asked.
'Why win not pin stand on Its
point?"
He considered the proposition long
time and then answered:
In the first place. a point Is defined
by Euclid as that which has no parts
and no magnitude, and how can pin
stand on that which hath no parts and
no magnitude?
"In the second place. pin will not
stand on its head: much less. therefore.
will it stand on its point.
Thirdly and lastly. it will IL you

ALDRICH CURRENCY MON
STROSITY.

II was at the convention OF the
American Bankers Association held
in New Orleans recently that the
Aldrich monetary reform plan was
submitted and was approved with
only one dissenter.
The one man who dlsapproVed OF
this Aldrich scheme is VIM. X. Ham
by of Austin, who is the president OF
the State Bankers Association oil
Texas.
His objection to the Aldrich plan
is thus stated:
II think the United States is big
enough TO assert its financial su-
premacy and instead of copying al
ter European systems, to MAINTAIN
one of its own. We have si9,O00,0OO,-
900 OF banking power and will soon
have banking power equal TO that
oT the rest of the world. | do not
believe the Aldrich central reserve
association is necessary to bring our
financial institutions into closer
union.
1.-The Aldrich plan makes it posi-
BILE to concentrate the entire bank
ing power Of the country under one
corporation management, assumes a
partial control and robs the local
banks of their individuality and in
dependence, and would be as dan
gerous as government ownership OF
all public utilities. The burden OF
nearly all that is said for the Al
drich plan is that we should discuss
it along non-partisan lines, yet the
organization proposed is political
and could not be kept out of poll
tics.
with its laterals and branches
reaching every section of the coun-
try under one corporation manage
menf once entrenched behind It's
financial fortiflcations and its vested
rights for fifty years, the Aldricf
bank would be the dominant factor
in every political campaign
Since then the people are awaken
ing TO an understanding of what
would be the effect of this scheme
of Aidrich il il were in force. This
scheme is being denounced in Wig
orous words, except by some of The
bankers whose vision and intellect
is being influenced by the allure
ments Of the Money Trust"
AS declared by Mr.. Handy of Aus
TIN, Texas, the Aldrich bank scheme
would be the dominant factor il
every political campaign" and il
time there would be only two classes
of people in the United States, thu
wealthy and the poor, or as in Mex
leo, the rich and the poems.
In a sense it is surprising that on
~ one dissenter to this scheme was
heard, but this apparent unanimits

Governor Wilson referred 10 banking

"The plain fact is that the. control of
