New York, June I7-A special meet ing of the board of directors of the Ma tional League will be held here tomor- row to consider the protest filed by the New York club against the $500 fine and sixteen days suspension imposed upon Manager John J. McGraw by President John K. Teneral.
 The penalty given McGraw is one of the heaviest in history of modern professional baseball.

The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1917-04-13

Considerable opposition is manifest
ed among members of Congress to the
Administrations proposed plan of
CONSUMPTION to raise an army in the
country's present emergency. They
adhere to the volunteer system which
has always been the popular plan of
recruiting our army. There is little
or no doubt that all the men needed
for the army, and more, may be had
by call for volunteers. American
citizens have never failed when their
country called. The President and
Secretary of War, however, are dis
posed to favor the conscript plan as
the quickest and most practical way
of getting a sufficient force together
and trained, and it is probable that
some compromise plan may grow out
of this difference of views. There is
no question that a sentiment exists
among the people generally against
CONSUMPTION and in favor of the vol
unteer plan. 1t may be that Congress
will give the latter the try first, and
if the response is not as ready as the
government thinks it ought to be, that
it will resort to CONSUMPTION. We
have no fear that American patriot
ism will fail to respond with will.
1t only awaits the call.

WOULD COMMAND DIVISION

Colonel Roosevelt stopped over In
Washington en- route to congratulate
the President on his war speech to
Congress, but the President was not
at the White House when he called
He then gave out statement, that
if he were authorized and permitted
he would raise and command di-
vision of the best fighting men in the
United States. The Colonel no doubt
meant what he said, for if his ut
terances and warlike attitude are any
criterion to the character Of the man,
and we believe they are, he would
glory in the effort; but the opportun-
ity he Graves is not likely to be ten
dered him.
While the Colonel, as President,
was once the titular Commander in
Chief of the American Army, he is
only a civilian and not a trained ar
my man, and could hardly be eX-
pected to be placed in command Of a
division over trained Generals and Of
ficers of our standing army. There is
no question of his courage and will
ingness to lead where the battle
wages the hottest, but something more
than this is required of a division
commander, and of these other quail
tiles he might prove himself woeful-
ly lacking. He would probably be
reckless and aggressive where cool
ness and strategic skill were mostly
needed, and when it came to deploy-
ing a division in battle to the best adj
vantage, his lack of military training
might make him the victim Of some
highly skilled commander of the en-
envy forces.
But there ought not to be much
trouble in finding a place in the army
for the Colonel where his recognized
gifts would be of valuable service,
and where, if the opportunity pre-
scented, he might further distinguish
himself as leader and fighter, if his
natural disposition could stand the
restraint of taking instead of giving
orders. No one would for a moment
think of man of his distinguished
ability serving as a private, any
more than one would think of Colonel
Bryan, though he has offered his SER
vices as such, instead of aspiring to a
division commander, in that capacity.
Men of their gifts and prominence
can serve their country to better pur-
pose in more responsible though no
more honorable position than that of
q private.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1917-04-13

The Ways and Means Committee of
the National House of Representatives
last Tuesday reported favorably a
measure providing for the issuing of
national bonds to the extent of five
billion dollars and national certiti-
Gates of indebtedness to the amount
of two billions-seven billions alto
gether-for carrying on the war. There
appears to be no doubt that this stu
pendous sum will be voted. 1t shows
that, now the nation having embarked
in the war, every resource of arms
and money is to be made available,
and that it will be prosecuted with
yigor.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1917-04-13

The Legislature appropriated more
than two millions in excess of the es-
timated revenue for the present BIZ
ennial period, Notwithstanding seve-
raj new measures were passed to
raise additional revenue to meet the
increasing demands Of the State
government. The Governor, by pro-
vision of the Constitution, has the
authority to cut out or veto such ap-
preparation as he may deem expedient
to bring the total within the esti-
mate. He has been going over the
appropriation bills since the adjourn
ment of the Legislature, and it has
been announced that he has decided
to cut out enough to bring the sum
total down to between fifteen and six
teen millions. Some worthy objects
will thus necessarily be deprived of
funds to carry out their purpose. This
could have been obviated perhaps in
a measure if he could have gone over
the appropriations and made a hor-
izontal reduction all along the line.
No department of State nor any of
the public institutions would have
been materially embarrassed by such
a process, but the Constitution does
not permit it. This emphasizes how
inelastic and unequal to present day
needs our antiquated Constitution is.
The Legislature evidently missed an
in not providing for the
holding Of Constitutional CopYen-
ion.
