NEW YORK, November 4.-The little
unpleasant features of the late worlds
series may result in permanent good to
base ball. So many scandals and near
scandals have marred the worlds cham
pionship competitions of the past that
magnates generally have soured on the
classic as ii is now conducted. Accord
ing to very high authorities in New
York, the present system of determining
the champion of all base ball is likely to
be thrown into the discard before the
winter rolls around.
A scheme which AuguSi hermann,
chairman of the national confusion, has
had in mind for the past several years
seems the most natural solution of the
problem. In the first place. Herrmann's
proposition is absolutely fair: in the sec
ond place, 1t would eliminate all posi-
bility of the weaker club winning through
a f1uke. and more important still, 1t would
nail forever and aye all chance OF ticket
speculation. The scheme is to have every
team in the major leagues have chance
at the title and share of the spells. for
every American League club would meet
every National League club both on It's
own ground and that of its rival. Cities
like Pittsburgh. Cincinnati. Detroit and
Washington, which are represented in
only one league, would have a >chance to
witness In action every aggregation of
the two select circuits.

TOGO. Eriend of Pesce.

Schenectady IN. " Union)
Admiral Togo of Japan, who because
Of his famous victory over the Russian
feet in the Russo-Japanese war is
know as the Nelson of Japan. has
taken particular pains to make clear
his friendship for the American people
and his desire for peace.
Even before he had set foot on Amer
lean soil the admiral by wireless sent q
message saying he realized that the
American people are the best friends of
japan. The japanese people feel this
affection and look on America as the
brilliant preceptor in national develop
ment."
This expression of friendship was
supplemented upon his landing by IN
qualified approval of the arbitration
treaties signed as the result of Fresi-
dent Taft's labors.
Toeo's name will rank with the great
naval heroes of history. but he recog-
nizes that war is cruel and unnecessary
and that universal peace is one of the
greatest blessings that can come to
mankind.

The Monthly Bid for Fame.

The monthly campaign document of
state Auditor Stevens makes much of
the claim that s643 900 has been paid on
the floating debt since the beginning
of the year 1911, and that the net State
debt has been decreased 1861. 600.
Remarkable, isn't it? Now we won
der just where these wonderful fihan-
ciers who are heading the Democratic
party raked up all that money with
which to pay debts. 1t cannot be pos
sible that Democracy has subscribed
this amount out of its private purses
for the sake of making a wonderful
showing before the people. Nor do
they inform us that they have made
any remarkable savings in State ex-
penses. We believe the kennebec jour
nal called attention in every instance
to the work of the Legislature which
made a saving for the State of Maine.
We do not remember to have suggested
that probably the saving of the salary
of the assistant attorney general
would cost the State of Maine $25.-
GOO. but we believe that TO be TACT
So we fail to see where the present ad-
mtnistration could pay s1.200,000 in
debts from the savings in this depart
ment. even when supplemented by that
in the Childrens hospital appropria-
ton.
But these debts have been paid, and
undoubtedly with money which be-
longed to the State The only question.
therefore. is as to who provided the
money We wonder if State Auditor
Stevens woeld claim that the Demo,
cratic Legislature provided funds with
which the administration is making
such boasted showing As the Democ-
racy has thus far been accredited with
no especial gift of magic. the natural
conclusion would be that the funds
which are now being used had been
provided by the preceding administra-
ton, and the taxes assessed by other
Legislatures and now available. The
resources of Maine are its receipts
from taxation and none have thus far
become available which had been ,ro-
ivided by the present administration.
Most of us surmise that even the Eek
travagant administration which re1
tired, last year, could have n lie an
euuolIv .raod showing in II line of
paying debts.

To the Supreme Court.

vides that the court shall be obliged

nothing to do with the awarding of the

The question for the court therefore is
