National League Magnate
Claims His Punishment
Will Come

New York, Oct. 6.-The National
League will act on the accusation of
John j. McGraw that the Giants Laid
down in the crucial game of the
Brooklyn series. McGraw will be
reprimanded officially by the National
League.
This has not been announced by the
league, but one National League mag
nate has declared that this is the pro-
gram, despite the announcement made
by John II. Tener that no notice would
be taken OF the implied charges. The
outhurst of McGraw. while 1t was not
taken up at any set baseball meeting,
has been the topic of more CONVEX
sation among the magnates than the
coming worlds series
Whatever the officials of the league
may say. it is certain that McGraw is

tittle Napoleon will submit to this re-
mains to be seen.
II is planned to make the disciplin-
ing as mild as possible. If he Is willing
to turn the other cheek and ACCEPT the
chastisement. but should McGraw come
before the league in belligerent atti-
tude, something more serious may re-
suit.
This is not the only issue which is
upsetting official basebalIdom on the
eve of the series. The statement of Ban
johnson in regard to the McGraw
matter has aroused the ire of the Ma
tional League magnates. johnson said
picturesquely and potently: IF this
had happened in the American League
there would be hell to pay"
The National League magnates i'm
piled that Mr.. Johnson had plenty of
soiled linen to cleanse in his own
league before he came butting into the
laundry of the National League to
raise "gehenna." Thus McGraw has
not only disrupted the Giants for the
time being. but he has also sanded
the smoothly running gears of the
national commission. which always
gathered for little close harmony
around worlds series time.

Editorial Comment
Colonel Harvey's Prediction.
Boston Transcript


Colonel George Harvey calls the turn
on the presidential situation in single
sentence. Nobody wants Hughes no.
body but the people," is the conclusion
he reaches in the current number of the
North American Review, to which he con-
tributes a Enthusiastically vigorous edi-
torial survey on presidential prospects
as regards Republican candidates. AS
"the prophet of the presidency" who put
Princeton on the political map, and more
than any other one man or one thousand
men made Woodrow Wilson President of
the United States, the Judgment of Col
onel Harvey on the eve of the national
convention which will nominate the oppo-
nent of his former friend and protege will
everywhere arouse interest, everywhere
command attention, and to the minds of
many carry conviction
His prediction that Mr.. Hughes will be
nominated at Chicago is in no sense faith
cred by the wish of the prophetic and
philosophical Colonel, for his speculation
in previous numbers Of the Review has
covered wide field. 1t is the conclusion
forced upon an open mind by a success
sion of events, by a multiplication of tn
signs Of the times, by straws which show
the way the winds of popular preference
are blowing. We commend the article In
it's entirety to the attention Of every
voter in search of a competent and dis
passionate opinion and not averse to an
entertaining half hour in the editorial
companionship of the maker and the I'M
maker of the present occupant of the
White House. Having expressed the
opinion more than a month ago that the
nomination of Mr. Hughes appeared al
most as inevitable as the denomination
Of Mr.. Wilson, the Transcript gladly rec
ords the sustaining opinion of Colonel
Harvey to the same effect.

Mexico Not an Issue?

The Mexican question will not be
an issue in the campaign of 1916-if
Woodrow Wilson can prevent it. At a
recent dinner in washington where the
President and other lesser lights Of
Democracy met to sound keynote for
the canvass of the autumn not one
word was uttered regarding Mexico
and this In spite of the fact that the
dinner was held on the same day that
the news came of Carranza's demand
for the withdrawal of our troops and
attack made upon our soldiers at Par
raj.
There was much oratory about what
the Democrats have done for the
farmer and how they have done up
everyone else with whom they have
come in contact-but of the most
pressing question then before the peo-
pie, about the national honor which
Carranza's note had impugned, about
ouI SldIIl ny DOIutT DdHullS
and attacked by Greaser mobs, not one
word.
This is the typical manner of Will
son in dealing with a troublesome
problem. He thinks that by ignoring
it he disposes Of it. If he has his
way, Mexico will not be an issue this
year.
But issues are not made by speeches.
either in what those speeches contain
or by what those speeches omit. Is
sues grow out of facts. The facts Of
the Mexican question cannot be evad-
ed or avoided. Mr.. Wilson and his
party will have to face those facts.
Mexico will be big issue in this
years campaign, because out Of Will
sons handling of the Mexican ques-
ton arises all the cortemptuous treat
ment which we have received from the
powers of Europe. Wilson may con-
tinue to keep silent about Mexico-but
his silence will be a confession Of
guilt.

Credit for Military Camp Attendance

Credit for Military Camp Attendance.
Following the precedent set recent
ly by Bowdoin College the Dartmouth
faculty have voted to grant three
hours credit towards the degree to
those attending the summer camps for
military instruction at Plattsburg.
Since no action has yet been taken
establishing a course Of military lee
lures in the college curriculum, this
step, considered by many educators as
radical to the point Of danger, is the
more surprising. In some quarters it
is contended that bringing what is
virtually an outside activity into the
college course will tend to cheaper the
value Of the degree by making 1t more
easily earned. Others hold that the
usefulness Of the measure offsets any
such risk. and that the measure may,
after all. be considered as only tenn
porary. Although the military course
at Dartmouth still remains a doubtful
issue, it is significant that the trus-
tees have sanctioned the students
battalion.
President Nichols also heartily ap-
proves Of this granting of credit for
Plattsburg attendance. He says:
LAS result of a brief visit to
Plattsburg last summer, and from
what 1 know of this summers plans
FOR Plattsburs and similar military
camps under the direction of the War
Department, l believe that the actual
instruction, with the added routine Of
camp life, will provide a better men,
tai and moral discipline than the aver
age three-hours course in college"
Other leaders of thought agree that
the camps as a national institution
give young men better realization of
what many at any time In these
troubled days become a supreme obli-
cation Of citizenship. 1t is we'll for
young men to fit themselves for
patriotic responsibilities, whether they
nave use for the requirement or not.
Discipline is not the least of these ac-
quirements and college men can i'll
afford to miss the opportunities for
preparation for the duties of leader
ship in any crisis.
