- - ORAL suasion must be the
M means OF gaining and keep
Av4 ing members OF the various
big league teams by the fraternity
Such stars as Collins and Baker, who
are very powerful members OF their
teams, can afford, perhaps, to fail 10
keep their standing with the frater-
nifty good.
Youngsters entering the big league
will undoubtedly find it 70 their ad-
vantage, however, TO join the frat at
the earliest possible opportunity.
They will at least remain neutral TO
Il n they are not thoroughly in sym
pathy with it.
While it would be hard and per
haps impossible 10 prove that any
young fellow who refused to join the
frat was being hindered by his Tel
loNY-players, nevertheless, there would
always be chance for that 10 be the
case.
The managers of the teams are not
mdmbers OF the players organization
and they are paid TO handle the men
IN their charge so as 10 bring the
greatest results for their employer.
They would, naturally. sacrifice the
fraternity to their employers inter
ests and might keep on the club pay
rolls, men who denounced the play
ers association. Yet in most cases
harmony on the club would demand
that insurgents be dismissed.

Crops and the Rate Decision.

The Democratic administration has not yet been
accused of claiming credit for the boneous harvests
rapidly fipening from anticipation into realization,
even though its statesmen aye cheerfully pointing to
the fields and predicting that within few weeks the
treasure which they will pour forth will dispel the
existing gloom and smother the cry of hard times
And perhaps this will be the case At any rate the
approach of the harvest with an abundance of activity
and employment for all in the agricultural regions,
if nowhere else, is responsible already for faint rift
in the cloud of pessimism. Even financial New York
disposed to admit that at some time in the more or
less remote future there may be reason to hope that
all hope is not lost There are moments when the
stock exchange is almost buoyant-thst is of course
by comparison with recent months And with no other
Inspiration than the growing crops.
Unfortunately for the party in power, which is
facing election in four months the country is not
likely to be able to profit to the full from the cheer
which nature spreads. Every day the Interstate Com
merce Commission delays its decision of the railroad

Integrity of Tie Reserve Board.

The President encountered difficult task in the
selection OF the Federal Reserve Board provided for
by the new currency law Seven months have passed
since the law was enacted under heh-speed pfess1re
and the board is not yet complete The Presidsnt
fully recognized the great power and responsbiity
with which these officials would be invested and the
high character and Qualifications they must possess il
the success of the new law was to be made possible
Hence he proceeded cautiously and made wide search
for the right men.
Developments yesterday indicate that he must make
two selections to co1nplete the FIVE members the
law authorizes him to appoint Paul NJ. Warbure Of
New York asked that his appointment be withdrawn
rather than appear before the Senate Committee on
Banking and Currency for examination as to his ft-
ness and it became apparent that the appointment of
T. D. Jones, of Chicago, would probably fail of con-
hrmation The grounds upon which Mr. Warburg
based his withdrawal in themselves prove that in one
respect at least the President made no mistake in
selecting him. He fully realizes the bgness of the
position and believes that man should serve whose
eminent qualifications not generally recognized
or concerning whoP even the smallest question is
raised 1t is MIR. Warburgs view that the country is
entitled to Federal Reserve Board that has COM
manded prompt and unanimous confirmation by the
Senate. Doubtless, he had in mind the unfortunate
impression made by the division and delay connected
with the confirmation of John Skelton Williams as
Comptroller of the Currency ex ocio member of the
Federal Reserve Board, and concluded that neither
he nor the administration could afford to invite a
repetition. Mr.. Warburgs attitude will commend it.
