Proposal for an Extension Of the Base
ball Season.

To THE EDITOR or THE suN-Sr: While
nobody can deny that the worlds series
OF baseball games is a hitting conclusion
to the annual season, ] would suggest
that much more could be done for
the national pastime by arranging stimuli
taneously with the worlds series a COM
petition In which. say the second, third
and fourth teams OF the National. League
could hs pitted against the second. third
and fourth OF the American League re-
spectively.
II such an arrangement could be
brought about II would settle the supe-
riority Of one league over the other. Moro
over II would annually bring about more
rivalry among those teams which are now
placed first In their respective leagues
Why, Tor instance, should not the team
whinh landed SECOND In each league get
some additional compensation for ths good
work II did during the season, Just as we'll
20 the team which. sometimes by merit
only. sometimes. however. by luck, landed
In the ayst place? Moreover. the pow
ers that bs would provide real sport for
the thousands OF fans who do not hap
pap y live In New York and Philadelphia.

Nr. McAdOO and the Two Per Cent

Administration utterances on the
pending currency bill have quite COM
monty given out more heat than light.
The remarks addressed by the Secre-
iary Of the Treasury TO the delega.
ion of country bankers who talked
with him about the status Of Govern.
lnent bonds held as security for the
present bank note circulation are not
an exception to the rule.
There is an uncomfortable implica-
tion in MIR. McApoO's Invocation OF
patriotism. Such exhortations from
Secretaries Of the Treasury to the hank
crs have usually been made when the
Governments credit was In a had way
and when the bankers were being asked
to do something to help out a difficult
situation. We do not believe that
occasion exists for governmental ap-
peal to the banking community ou
other grounds than those Of reason
and knowledgr. We are persuaded
that the bankers are open to convic-
lion by argument regarding the pro.
Visions aud workings OF the currency
hill aud that Mr.. MCADoo wcakens his
Ease or c0nfesses it's weakness ny
abandoning argument for denuncia ion
and assertion.
Since the introduction OF the cur.
rency bill the national banks have seen
the market value OF their holdings OF
Government bonds reduced by about
S35,0D.0OO. The fact that the . per
cents, which constitute the bulk. have
declined 10 new low levels, following
midsummer rally. has not tended to
rcassure them with respect to the
continuation Of satisfactory market
for the Government obligations In
siah. for example, the country banks
Have So per cent. Of their capital in.
vested.
1t Is true that the currency bill pro-
posss to make the : per cents redeem.
able by giving them a fixed maturity
instead of leaving their redemption OPP
fional with the Government, but In the
face OF this the bands have been losing
their market. Practically the only
market which they commanded has been
that maintained by the national banks
The bonds have been wanted for bank
purposes. For such purposes they
have always until now been In 60
great demand that even at an artin.
cisily high range Of prices they have
compared favessbly with British con.
soils. which, according to the classic
sayWe' nave 30 good a market that

Rev. c. i. Bragaw, pastor OF Barbecue
Church, in Harnett county, n. c., has
invited Rev. Donald Macleod to visit
his church and to preach sermon in the
Gaelic tongue.
Barbecue Church was organized 1855
years ago. the congregation being mostly
Scotch settlers in the vicinity In which
the church is located. Rev. Mr.. Bragaw,
who is former Washingtonian. says the
last sermon preached in Gaelic in the
church was delivered forty years ago or
more. but says there are many members
OF the congregation who still speak and
understand the language. Although the
church was organized more than a CEN
fury and a half ago, Rev. Mr.. Bragaw en-
joys the distinction of being its first reg
ular pastor. and of having performed the
first marriage ceremony ever celebrated
within its walls.

]. CANAL As EXPENSE SAVER.
-tt --
Representative Esch Believes Ships
- Can Afford to Paw Toll.

Declaring that the saving in cost to a
steamer using the. Panama canal easily
would warrant the payment of.$1.25 ton
as toll, Representative John J. Esch Of
Wisconsin addressed the Interstate Asso-
citation last night on the effect OF the
Panama canal tolls on traafc, He de-
ciared that~the saving in time from New
York to Caliao for a ten-knot steamer will
be twenty-eisht days and the saving in
cost will be 800 day for 4,O0O-ton
steamer.
The canal will not benefit the eastern
coast Of South America he said, but the
western coast, which Is rich In natural
resources, would profit. The commercial
bodies of the eastern United States, he
added, would control this trade.
