BB yesterday's record breaking throng greatest week day crowd that ever saw a mid-season ball game in or any other city — numbered but today’s turnout of fans threatened to exceed that figure. One thing must he said for the Athletics as the series continues; ■B n, f y have given the lie to the belief that they hadn’t the heart to fight t |j P world's champions in a pinch. They proved that they are not out ■ in front of the parade by seven and ■ one-half games by any fluke. H But overshadowing even great dem H onstration of heart and punch given ■ by the Mackmen in the first game ■ yesterday was the performance of ■ t h P one and only Babe Ruth himself towards the close of the second ■ same. M Back after a serious illness, the ■ Babe required a number of trips to the plate to hit his stride. Hitless against Grove in the opener and tan- ■ ning with the bases filled in the first inning of the second game.

Court Litgation and Politics There is a tendency I believe for a great many people to say that the morals of this period are bad and that young people are careless and quarrels are far too many and litigation in our courts is too heavy but if 1 remember right “way back when” one might tell a story of laxity and rowdyism and fist fights and quarrels and when the courts were all clut- . tered up with litigatioh of all sorts, I seduction cases were very numerous

and farmers went to law every term of court over turkeys and line fences and provoke and assault cases to beat, the band. No, I think that years ago 1 we had fine people here, finest in the world but they were a wee bit lawles and prone to take justice in their own hands and any reasonable comparison between now and then finds that we are now incomparably better all around. People back then were far . from being as tolerant as they are j now. A great many had the idea if

you did not "belong’’ with them that you were cast Into onterdarknons. Denominational religion was a mighty serious thing and those not of their faith were In danger of hell fire and bell fire was the baeis of most of the sermons. As to politics we of this day have no conception of the partisanship and bitterness of the campaigns of long ago and this community was no exception to the rule, Candidatee on the stump did not call their opponents any pet names hut talked right out In meeting and to read the newspaper reports from the files of the papers of that day evidenced that every political meeting was a riot. If a Republican went to a Democratic meeting beieve me as was In danger of his life and the other way around. I can remember when Judge Bobo and Judge Heller and John France and Charley France and others called a spade a apade when they made political speeches, and A. J. Hill, editor of the Democrat, would tell all about It, in his weekly paper news items and editorially and add a little to the vindictiveness for good measure. The Democrats could afford to be more bold than the Republicans because they were in the large majority but at that the Republicans were past masters of the verbal ephithet. "Black" John King was the parade I hoy of the Democrats and every campaign would organize "torch light" parades and they would be many blocks, long and carry banners and ; , illuminations and the printing on | i these signs would make the Republi-1 cans gnash their teeth. I was a Re-1 publican boy but the lure would 1 sometimes be too strong and when I father caught me one time carrying a torch his Republican partianship broke down and he laughed and 11 escaped punishment. Our Republij can friends for long years after the | (Nvil War waved the "‘bloody shirt" , and I don’t suppose it was waved any ; I harder anywhere than it was here. | (To Be Continued) o Get tne Habit—Trade at Home, It Pays

Advertising handshakes I “MRS. BROWN, permit me to introduce an old I friend, Mrs. Jones.” I When the formalities of introduction have been I completed, an acquaintance has been made. If Mrs. I Brown and Mrs. Jones meet often enough, the I acquaintance may ripen into a warm friendship. I Advertising is like that. The printed page inti o- I duces you to an article of merchandise and you be- I come acquainted with it. Through the advertise- | ments you meet frequently. Little by little, you | learn that your new acquaintance possesses quali- I ties that you admire—that it has hosts of devoted I friends. Soon you will buy, and your mere acquaint- | ance develop into a real enduring friendship. I Advertising has made and is making millions of I friends for worthy commodities, for advertising | tells the truth and keens on telling it. Advertising I is the mutual friend that introduces you to merchan- | dise worth knowing—and buying. | Keep a kindly eye on the advertisements They are steadfast friends. Decatur Daily Democrat
