World Series Base Ball.

Base ball, Americas national sport,
reaches its climax in the annual world
series" between the champion teams Of
the two major leagues. Each season the
winners Of the pennants in the two
leagues meet in final contest to determine
the supremacy. These two teams are
supposedly-and in truth demonstratedly
the best in the country. They are COM
prised Of the stars Of the sport, as pitch
ers and fielders, as hitters and defensive
players. These annual inter-league
matches, drawing immense crowds of
spectators and yielding great sums of
money in admission fees, which are di-
vided between the teams and the leagues.
with remainder to the runner-up teams
Of the two leagues, are not always, how
ever, the best the sport affords.
The present series Is an illustration.
The first game was played in physical
conditions that made the contest a veri-
table travesty of the sport. the field hav-
ing been saturated by rain 50 that field
ing was difficult. The National League
representatives won the decision by q
score Of 8 to !. It was remarkable that
the score was not larger. The victory,
however, was well earned BY virtue OF

market and to assist them in holding
their commodities out of trade channels
until they dc find q market. That Is
exactly the road followed by the old
Federal Farm Board.
When that experiment broke down,
the A. A. A. came into the picture armed
with power to take steps that might be
necessary to control production. The
Supreme Court has closed the door to
revival Of that method OF Strengthening
out any new overproduction mix-up.

All Of those problems, however. are in
the future, as politicians here point out.
At the moment farmers are sitting on
top of the world. They have an income
larger than at any time since 1929. They
have only small commodity surpluses.
They have a direct pipe line into the
United States Treasury. They have the
pleasure of watching two major political
parties bidding actively against each
other for their support-with the bidding
in dollars.
It's all fine while 1t lasts.
But American farmers, having dis
placed war veterans as holders of first
place in the hearts of politicians, may
in another four years have to watch
out for rivals interested in taking away
their advantage.
The ease with which agriculture won
the 1895 election already Is interesting
labor and the old people Of the country.
Here are two blocs that even now are
figuring in the future calculation Of the
political planners.

fortunately, were not privileged to see
the ultimate realization Of their dream.
The vision which now has transformed
an "eye sore" into "a thing Of beauty
and q Joy forever" was conceived by q
group of washingtonians whose leader
was Mrs. John B. Henderson and whose
cause particularly was aided and abetted
by Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker of the
House of Representatives, and Henry
White, Ambassador to the Court of st.
James. Their monument also the park
therefore shall be.
And still earlier generation of prac-
tical dreamers likewise deserves renem-
brance. Meridian Hill received Its name
from the fact that it was indeed a me-
ridian point in the District Of Columbia
as delineated by George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson and Major Pierre
Charles LEnfant, designers Of the Ma
tion's Capital as a Federal territory ten
miles square. Perhaps they, too, had the
ardent genius to imagine the time when

into loveliness unsurpassed in the United
States. In any case. they furnished the
background against which Colonel
William w. Harts, George Burnham and
especially Horace w. Peaslee have
labored.
But children, playing in fairyland,
probably never pause to wonder whence
came the pools and fountains. the
promenades, the graceful paintings, the
shaded hooks and inches they instinc-
lively enjoy. To them the elements of
their happiness are things to be taken
for granted. Only the passing of years
teaches them the lesson Of gratitude and
the inspiration of great examples.
Doubtless, the Almighty Creator smiles
at the spectacle and orders the ulti-
mate degree of appreciation withheld
until near the end. Browning, 1t seems,

q problem, q difficult and an embarras-
sing circumstance that not only halted
us, but challenged our courage and our
determination. In such q situation the
world about us cries out: THE wilder
ness hath shut him in" 1t is at such an
hour in life that the best qualities in our
nature are challenged, when all that we
have in mind and heart. of judgment
and decision, are put to the test. FIRE.
Quently in such q situation we literally
have to blaze q new trail, find new way
wholly unfamiliar to us, a way that is
born Of confidence and an unfailing faith.
Examples Of what we have in mind will
occur to any one who has lived his or
her life, especially those who have dared
to live courageously and with confidence
in their ultimate objective. Take the
shock that comes with q great disap-
pointment, or the still more bitter shock
that comes with disillusioned hopes, or
with the death of one upon whose strong
arm we have leaned in sure confidence.
In such an experience the open highway
that we travel seems to be blocked-"the
wilderness hath shut us in" Loneliness,
the consciousness Of insecurity, even in
capacity to carry on, these conspire to
render us helpless, If not to defeat us.
Such time is one of testing, when we
literally show the stuff of which we are
made. 1t takes something more than
stoicism or mere brute force to carry
us on our way. 1t does take reflection and
a fresh appraisal Of our resources, our
needs and. most certainly, of our faith.
One Of old cried out in such an impasse,
as he viewed the seeming wreck of his
life: Though He slay me, yet will
trust Him." 1t has always seemed to
me that the supreme test of courage and
faith comes in days of excessive pros
perity or of overwhelming adversely. My
own observation has taught me that
more men and women survive days of
adversely than days Of prosperity. The
latter tend to enervate and destroy the
moral fiber: they render men weak and
flabby and incapable of rising above
their environment and environing condi-
tions. 1t is great and noble thing to
be able to live triumphantly. but to live
triumphantly as did the Christ calls for
and demands qualities Of character that
come only from belief in that kind OF
life that He lived.

One More Dictator.

Although the Loyalists still hold
Madrid and profess ability indefinitely
to keep the enemy at bay, the insurgents
look upon the capitals fall and their
accession to power as mere matter OF
time. Evidently they think the time
is close at hand. for the rebel junta,
hitherto functioning as a provisional
government at Burgos, has handed over
control to General Francisco Franco,
commander in chief Of the revolutionary
forces, and ceremonially proclaimed him
dictator. In assuming supreme direc-
ton of the nation" the insurgent gen.
eralissimo thunders grandiloquently that
authority has been vested lin hands
that will hold firm" and which will re
store noble and united Spain under one
flag. Spanish Spain. to the position she
once occupied" Coincident with Cen
eral frances acceptance Of the crown.
it became known that his chief advisers
will be General Cabanellas, late junta
leader, and the two rebel field COM
manders, Generals Mola and De Llano.
Thus dictatorship-if such is to be i'm
posed upon the ruins Of the republic
will begin its career as a Fascist regime
Of avowed military hue. The soldiers will
be in the saddle and the mailed fist will
be their trade mark.
General Franco denies that the army
seeks to set up a capitalist state Of the
rigid cooperative or totalitarian model,
though the universal assumption has
been that if the insurgents win, their
purpose is to establish at Madrid forth
with counterpart of the iron heel sys-
tenn enthroned in Rome and Berlin. In
an obvious effort to counteract prole-
tartan fears well in advance, General
Frances proclamation to the people"
promises work for all, free from the evils
Of capitalism, with guarantees of labor's
rights, including minimum wages, an
Independent, farm-owning peasantry,
and a concordat with the Catholic
Church, looking to solution of vexatious
religious questions. The would-be die
tator pledges friendly relations with all
countries except the Soviet Union, "of
which the new Spain will be the enemy"
On its face the Franco manifesto,
premature though it is, holds out allur-
ing prospects, designed to calm SPANS
sorely troubled waters, which for three
months have run blood red while a
Mortified world shuddered in the presence
of strife at times approximating sheer
savagery. No matter how benefcent q
dictatorship might be set up by a VIC
torious Fascism, there is all too much
reason to fear that it would be born amid
hatreds and passions so fierce as to doom
unhappy Spain to a prolonged period
of fratricidal discord. A Franco, ruling
as an imitation Mussolini or Hitler, will
inevitably have many a sanguinary
bridge to cross before the peninsula is
pacified. Should his italian and German
godfathers claim any territorial pounds
Of flesh in token of certain valuable
services rendered, SPANS troubles are
not likely to remain exclusively domestic

INTERRUPTED HIGHWAYS
BY THE RIGHT REV. FREEMAN, D, Ii. d L,
BISHOP WASHINGTON.

In one Of the most dramatic passages
Of the Old Testament, namely, the Four
teenth Of Exodus, the story is told of
the flight Of the children Of Israel from
the land of their bondage and captivity
Egypt. Under the leadership Of Moses
they had gone forth q mighty host be-
lieving that the day of their deliverance
was at hand and that presently they
would enter into q country that they
could call their own. This mighty host
had believed the word Of their leader and
had gone forth in confidence and high
expectation.
In this chapter the story is told Of their
coming to what seemed to be an i'm
passable barrier, where no highway was
evident and where they were estopped
from continuing on their course. Their
leader, Moses, had declared to them that
the ruler of Egypt, the mighty Pharaoh,
would say when they had reached this
impasse: "They are entangled in the
land, the wilderness hath shut them in. !"
It was o normal thing that at this crisis
they should be filled with fear and con-
fusion.
The incident is one that repeats itself
in the experience Of every man and in
deed Of every people. The highway over
which we travel may seem well marked
and the objective we seek clearly defined.
There are apparent no detours. no di-
gressions from a given course.
Recently, while driving In Virginia and
nearing the place to which was bound,
I came to the low-lying lands just before
one enters the Blue Ridge range. There
was nothing on the road as I traversed it

faction. Confident of the road over
which was travelling, pressed on. and,
winding and obscure as 1t was as one
faced the hills, it led with certainty to
the destination sought.
This is q fair analogy Of experiences
that come to one and all of us almost
daily. Repeatedly in life we come to
what seems an impasse, where our own
judgment falters and our decision suffers
impairment. We had been travelling over
ways that we were familiar with and
that were clearly marked. They were so
familiar as to be commonplace. Pres

Fifty Years Ago
In The Star

"The Fall elections this year" says The
Star Of October 7, 1886, possess more
c,.rL, and than usual interest to
the employees in the Gov
r,..t;or. ernment departments in
sN this city, especially those
who are Republicans and have retained
their places under the present admin
istration. The question is not whether
they will 60 home to vote, but whether
they will dare to 60 home to vote. The
Democratic oficials disclaim any inter-
ference on their part with the free will
Of the clerks in this respect, but at the
same time there are indirect methods
which can be employed to advantage.
1t is not charged by the Republican ofice
holders that any such methods have been
put into operation, but still they feel that
the conditions are not altogether favor
able. Little incidents are quoted as IL
lustrating the present tendency. For
instance, q clerk in one Of the bureaus
applied for a leave of absence q short
time ago, the time asked for including
the election day In his State. The chief
clerk Of the bureau glanced over the
application and then said in q careless
tone:
by the way. when does the election
take place in your Slater
THE clerk told him and nothing more
was said, but the manner of the chief
clerk made the applicant for leave feel
rather uncomfortable and he is now
considering whether he had better re-
main home until after the election. A
large number of the clerks have placed
themselves in a rather negative position,
by exhausting all their leave. so that now
II they wish to go home to vote they
will have to lose their pay. They can
readily urge that they cannot afford to
lose the money and In this way they
will neither cast their votes nor place
themselves in q position to be charged
with going back upon their party, in the
event that the tide Of political success
should turn. Some of the Democratic
ofi1cials do not hesitate to say that Re-
publicans who are holding ONCE ought
not to 60 home to vote against the ad-
ministration, and there is no doubt that
this feeling is very general"

low that the blame should be visited
upon the Commissioners? If those ON

unsafe, is 1t their duty to let trafac 60

until the necessary repairs can be made?
And If the bridge was more unsafe in
1884 than 1t is In 1885 and was not then

ing it now? The absurdity OF such logic
is apparent without discussion"

bell. The second game, played after .
days lapse due to unfavorable weather
conditions and on perfect field, was
one Of the most one-sided contests in all
the history Of the world series encoun-
tiers. The losing team employed hve DIFF
ferent pitchers. The contest was COM
plete rout Of the Giants, who in the game
before had demonstrated their superior
ity. Yesterday the third game was played
under auspicious weather conditions and
proved to be one Of the best world series
battles ever waged on the diamond. It
was OF the true series" quality. And
yet 1t was in one respect a freak affair,
the winner taking the decision by score
of two runs to one, though outhatted
IL to 1. The winning run was scored on
what is known in base ball as scratch
hit, q puny infield bounder detected by
the pitcher just enough to prevent .
successful play at first base or to head
on q runner at the plate. The harder
hitting team lost the game.
Yet these eccentricities are the very
essence of the sport, the factors that
make 1t SO attractive to the multitudes.
The element Of chance is always present
in any game. No matter how well the
pitcher delivers the ball, no matter how
ably the f1elders maintain their defense,
some freak circumstance may determine
the contest. 1t is an old saying that no
base ball game is ever lost until the last
man is out in the last inning, or ever
makes base ball undoubtedly the greatest
spectators sport the world knows.

The value of human effort Is an inn
portant factor in figuring national
wealth, but when human effort is not
exerted it loses at least its present worth.
With some 10000, 900 persons unemployed
and not adding to the national income
but, to considerable extent, constituting
q drain on accumulated resources. q de-
cline In national wealth in that category
must be recognized The national debt
has increased by billions within the last
few years and this must be written of
against national wealth.
A studious analysis would, unquestion-
ably, reveal some compenSating factors.
For one thing. the Nation now owns
something over $40 600, 900 900 in gold or
about half the entire world supply.
There has been q reduction in farm
mortgages and, it is understood, in many
urban mortgages. Through financial re-
organizations, hundreds of millions Of
debt Of overcapitalized corporations,
notably the railroads, have been written
of. Huge sums were lost to the people
through bank failures but some Of that
has been recouped. .-
