president, to investigate the affair
after he had received a letter from
William Veeck, president of the Chi
cago club, specifically asking that the
baseball writers take up the investi-
cation. Sam Hail. sports editor of the
Herald and Examiner, was appointed
chairman.
Mr.. Veeck in a statement made pub
lie Saturday, announced he called sew
eral kilograms and telephone calls
just before the game warning him of
betting at odds in Detroit, Chicago and
other cities, suggested that the writer's
enter into the Investigation and last
night said the entire resources of the
club were at the associations dispos-
al. All the financial assistance need
ed will be given. he said.
Were the reflection on the Chica-
| go National League the only matter
entering into this affair, 1 would not
call for the assistance of the baseball
writer's" said Mr.. Veeck's letter, but
it is more serious than that. Baseball
is much greater than the mere stand
| ing of the Chicago Cubs and there is
no question as to its honesty.
If your investigation develops that
there is one man on the team who has
done a single dishonest act, you will
have rendered to the public and to
the club a service SO great it's value
cannot be estimated. If your investi-
cation develops that there has been no
dishonesty among the players you will
have done as great a service and in
that case I want the men publicly
given a clean bill of health.
please understand that the club is
not attempting to shove the respon-
sibility onto your shoulders. 1t will
conduct separate investigation"

Profits in Banking.

One OF the most profitable Industries

Pies money. II In also one OF the SAT-
est. Comptroller Williams says that
the $3.50 national banks last year
earned "a per cent. on their capital,
and only five banks failed during that
period.
But the twelve federal reserve banks
earned several times as great q profit
as did even the national banks, That
excellent record leaves the old coffee
pot bankers without an excuse, let
alone reason. for hiding their money
at home.
Since no other business in this coun-

government as that OF national and
federal reserve banking, the handsome
profits which those banks are permit
ted TO earn has real Significance, BY
reducing bank mortality, as II has done,
below that of every other kind of finan-
cial or commercial enterprise. con-
fdence IN banks Is greatly Increased.
Hut the main point Is that govern

strangulation. Until recently govern

Negligible Assets.

The announcement that there Is no
market for the sale of the vast fleet OF
wooden ships constructed during the
war at tremendous cost will cause no
surprise. Four times these vessels
have been advertised for sale and only
on one occasion was there any bidding
In response TO tho final effort to dis
pose OF them offers OF $14 or SIS ton
were received for vessels built at an
average cost Of SITS a ton.
1t is worth recalling that the expe-
diency OF this Investment, which ran
into hundreds OF millions, was ques-
toned even as war measure: An
other fact worth mentioning Is that the
buyers who openly proclaimed their
purpose to be to dlsmantle what they
bought and to consign the debris to
the scrap heap.
The announcement by Admiral Ben
son that there 10 no market here inn
plies that there are foreigners who
might be induced to pay more than
scrap heap figures. The admiral has
also intimated that the vessels are be-
ing sealed up" as rapidly as possible
for some sort Of preservation from de-
terloration and to save the expense OF
having custodians In charge.
II goes without saying that the longer
these relies or souvenirs are kept the
less they win be worth. Experience
having shown that they have little less
than a junk value for American buy
ers. there seems to be but one way of
which is to sell the ships to foreigners

mantied. They have become negligible

The Part Of John X. Shields.

The solid south" at last has been
broken, and Tennessee did the work.
For the first time In its history the
Volunteer state has given its electoral
ident. and at the same time II seems
TO have elected a republican governor.
When Chairman win Hays, OF the
republican party. few days ago made
what seemed to be recklessly extrava-
CANT election claims, he included Ten
Senator Harding would carry. Tennes-
see democrats, or the large majority
Of them, probably scoffed at this pre-
diction. but they did not know Of the
secret forces that were at work to bring
II to pass.
Latest reports Indicate that Senator
Harding has carried Tennessee by a
majority OF about 10000. For that re-
suit there 10 an explanation.
Two years ago John X. Shields was
re- elected to the United States senate
from Tennessee on promise to sup
port President wilson's policies to the
end. He violated that promise and
Joined the Lodge crowd Of treaty
wreckers. The democrats Of Tennessee
resented this betrayal of their con-
fidence and they found a way to make
their resentment known to the country
and felt by the renegade senator. When
county mass meetings were held to Sc
lect delegates to the democratic state
COuVGutt0D, SntCiuh COuIbo was COH-
demned from one end OF the state to|
the other. And when the state conven-
ton met. his course was again con-
demned and he was instructed to sup
port the peace treaty. The delegates
to the national convention selected by
the state convention were instructed to
stand for q platform declaration for the
league of nations.
Mr.. Shields undertook to defend his
course ON the ground that the demo-
cratic party had taken no position on
the question OF the league of nations,
and that until Il did take a position
his conduct az a democrat was not
open to criticism. That was his reply
to protests sent him from Tennessee
when he was assisting In the assassi-
nation of the peace treaty. That was
his reply to the action OF the county
mass meetings. That was his reply to-
the action OF the state convention. He
has had nothing to say since the demo-
cratic party met In national conven-
tion and took n position on tho ques-
tion Of the league of nations, but the
result OF Tuesdays elections In Ten
nessee shows what he and some OF his
friends have done.
II does not matter to this self-seelx-
ing. pussyfcoting politician that the
democratic party has twice honored him
with a United States senatorship. Be-
cause II dared demand that he stand
by the democratic president. he has
stabbed It IN the back with traitor
