that an order to operate on a five
cent fare would ruin them.
They say this so earnestly that it
is probably true, but the answer is
most significant because it strength
ems the growing belief that the Pub
lie Service Corporation adopted the
right course when it consented to try
the five cent fare experiment.
If the trolleys can run for five cents
and the omnibuses cannot, then the
business in all congested centres will
pass back to the trolley lines and the
omnibuses will be relegated to outly.
ing sections.
Thus the whole vexatious problem
will be solved, as common sense seem
ed to suggest that it should be. There
will be no need to bar the omnibuses
from the streets in which the trolley
cars run, or from parallel streets if
they must charge more than the troll
leys in order to live. They will go
out of business on such streets auto

THIS WEEK
COLUMBUS DAY
THE BOY SPIRIT
POLITICAL QUlETUDE
THE COUNCILS ACTION

Friday is Columbus Day, and to
the average citizen 1t means very lit
tie with the exception of the fact that
it is a holiday which affords them a
few more leisure hours. Every holi-
day has some significance beyond the
material Interpretation and it is only
proper that we should give some
thought to the real meaning of Co
lumbus Day, commemorating the
founding of this great nation. If the
older folks see nothing to be gained
by a mental review of American his
tory and the personal history of the
great discoverer himself at least take
time to tell the children the inspiring
story so they may upon this day have
a greater appreciation of the nation
in which they live because of the
bravery and struggle that preceded
it's discovery.

and again they were mistaken. Miss
Pankhurst may be right. The Prince

The story that appears in this edi-
ton relative to the small boys who
were found in the Palisade woods is
very amusing and no one in their
heart could feel that the youngsters
we're guilty of anything more serious
than an expression of "the boy spirit
which prompts most every young lad
to try an adventure that will take him
away from his accustomed surround
ings and into world unknown. II
the little fellows only realized how
soon it would become their duty to
venture forth to face the none-to--
gentle world they would not be so
anxious to venture from the finest
place on earth, "home." regardless OF
what or where it may be.

The Mayor and Council of the Bor-
ough of Clffside Park are to pc
commended for the quick action they
have taken in regard to registering
protest with the Public Service Corpo-
ration and the Public Utilities Com
mission against the increased fare
which is being charged the people of
Cliffside Park to reach either of the
two ferries The action taken might
result in change but even If 1t does
not the people at least have the sat
isfaction of knowing that they,
through their representatives, have
been alert enough to speak up"
against something that is obviously
enough an injustice. The action of
the Cliffside Park officials is in mark
ed contrast with the ''laissez faire"
policy of the governing body of Fort
Lee in the face of a request for SINH
lar action by Fort Lees citizens.

"Babe" Came Back
And Gave His Best

New York. Oct. 3.-Overshadowin
even the excellent team play. the sterl-
ing work of the pitching staff and the
uncanny field defense of the New York
Yankees, American League pennant
winners this season. We're the per-
formances of Babe Ruth, the years
star of stars in the major leagues.
Called the "Incorrigible Boy of
Baseball" because of his displays of
temperament in 1921 and 1922, Ruth
came back to the game this year with
but one idea--to give his best. He
has not been the homerun hitter he
was in 1921 but the all-time record for
circuit swatS in a season was set with
his 50. But he has not been out of the
game because of boyish pranks. and
his all-around play has surpassed any
thing he has shown before.
Ruth has been the greatest individ-
ual asset in the present Yankee combl-
nation of stars and is being selected
by many baseball writer's as the great
est individual player of the season on
any team. He has hit home runs a
plenty, but not s many as in 1921. His
batting record, however. close around
the 400 mark all season, is filled with
singles, doubles and triples-blOWs
that came when men were on base and
runs needed. He has been such
terror at bat that the number of in
territorial bases on balls given him by
opposing pitchers has set new rec
ord
Around Ruth-the new Ruth-the
Yankee attack has been clustered
throughout the season. Taking their
cue from him the other members of
the team settled into a perfect combi-
nation. with the result that the club
has won the pennant with one of the
greatest winning margins on record.

Biddeford to stand still in the main
bout at the Armory here tonight. It
was a fast exhibition. For several

nose and got him groggy but the boy
was clever and held on. Eddie

eleventh evidently trying for a
knockout but by frequent punches
Tommy kept going. The final round

was reported to be so serious that
he might not be able to start the
series, hobbled into the Yankee
offices today aided by cane, to an
nounce that he was improving rap
idly and would be at first base for
the American League champions in
the opening game. Pipp twisted his
ankle in the series with the Red Sox
at Boston recently.
Ruth. who was discussed as like
ly substitute at the initial bag IN
case Pipp is kept out, also has
tender ankle. The injury is not seri-
Gus but he will give it all the rest 1t
needs however. for the next few
DAYS. The Babe also developed
slight infection of the hand in Bos-
ton but this was said to have prac-
tically disappeared.
McNally, utility infielder, and Bob
Meusel, outfielder, are the others on
the casualty list, both with spralned
ankles.
The Yankees return tomorrow to
the Stadium for a series with the
Athletics that will wind up the sea-
son for both clubs. They expect to
have work outs Monday and Tuesday

rivals to familiarize themselves with
the lights and shadows of the recon
