Players Are Cheered.

After the first day of games here all
were entertained in the evening at the

athletes were loudly cheered after the
band finished playing The Star Span

stood with heads uncovered during the
rendition.
The trustees of the Melbourne race
course. where the famous Melbourne cup
is contended for each year. were next
with a banquet. This is the finest race
course ever seen by the tourists ard

the purity in racing and in cricket is due
to the fact that all race courses and
cricket fields are owned and under gov

Laver spoke entertainingly at the Saw

If the censorship on European war
news only would serve its purpose to
cut down the so called news" of the
war, its application would prove to be
quite acceptable but the stricter the
censorship the more stuff that is being
passed out from the European centers
of news gatherers, and the most of it is
apt to be unreliable or at least to be
only the half-truth. There is a fine
chance for that new British department
for dissemination of accurate news, and
it is to be hoped that the department
will get into smooth working order inn
mediately. Its base of operation will,
of course be in London, where the usual
clearinghouse for news is conducted for
European countries; and even the Lon
don newspapers need guarding, for they
are being imposed upon by dispatches
from Europe that are not based on re-
liable foundation

A Close Corporation.

No one can glance at the personnel OF
the federal reserve board, just organized
for business, without seeing that it is a
pretty close corporation. Its seven
members include three officials of the
treasury department. Mr.. McAdoo him
self his former assistant secretary, Mr..
Hamlin, and his present comptroller of
the currency, Mr. Williams. In addition,
Mr.. Warburg, unquestionably one of the
most accomplished fnanciers of the
United States and the dynamic force in
the house of Kuhn, Loeb g. Co., is obvi-
ously close to the administration and to
Mr. McAdoo. This makes a clear ma
jority of the board, aside from the two
western Democrats about whom no one
knows much, and the solitary Republic.
can, who is sure to be in a minority in
more senses than one.
One steadily increasing concentration
.of power in the president, whoever he
may be, is regrettable. His office is al
ready enormously potent. Such a mes
sage as this, meritorious as it seems des-
tined to prove, enormously increases the
authority of the man who happens at
any time to be in the White House He
thereby operates the regulating gates of

ly, but that any one man should have so
much power is undesirable.
Mr.. Hsmlin, the nominal head of the

is not one who can be expected to
speak out in meeting, to kick over the
traces or otherwise to sntagonize the |
immediate group Of which he is part |
His temperament is pacific, his manners
invariably gracious He is thus ideally !
