Of the happiest of expressions going
the rounds yesterday, there was one
veteran fan in one Of the Govern
ment departments who took peculiar
pride in his prediction, which came
true-that Washington would win
one game in New York and the next
two here.
The names of "Bucky" Harris and
Walter Johnson were the most fire.
quently heard, although there was
generous discussion of the grand old
home team all the way down the
line.
Agree With Landis.
What the grizzled veterans of
baseballdom thought of this world
series had not percolated thoroughly
through the town early yesterday,
but fans everywhere, in their more
or less expert patter. enthusiastically
revealed the same spirit which
prompted the snowy-haired czar of
base ball. Judge Landis himself, to
say of the final game: Il never saw
anything like it before and probably
never will again. 1 regard it as
the greatest game every played"
With Feet cooked on table tops
another group was discussing the
chances Of Washington for next years

enough to get the championship of
the world? Give me chance, to

overjoyed fan.
Play Series All Winter.
Nope" rejoined another. "the feel
ing's not worn off yet
This series will be played over a
million times before the season opens
next Spring"
Well, anyhow, I doubt II the cleo
ton gives Washington as much ex-
citement."
And still the wIrd battle RACES.
They have, been winding up the old
handspring OF Washington's base ball
pep for years, and, now that Bucky
Harris and his ilk have touched the
trigger and set the bell to ringing.

The trust magnate and the boot
logger will fare alike"
The Independent candidate said he
wanted his enforcement pledge con-
strued as applying to "all laws which
the people through their representa-
tives permit to remain upon the
statute books.
Only through such vigorous and
just enforcement" he added, can re-
spect for law be restored and the
statute books be purged of laws
which are unwise or obsolete"
Has Prepared Text.
Sticking consistently to his pre-
pared text, except for a few brief in
terpeliations, Mr.. La Toilette summed
up the points made by him in previ-
Gus campaign speeches this week
Time and again he was forced to sus-
pend until cheering died down.
In an hours address he made no di-
rect reference to either of his oppo-
nents, or to Charles G. Dawes, the
Republican vice presidential nominee,
who lives in suburb OF Chicago.
The audience cheered wildly for
several minutes when Senator La
Toilette entered the armory. He was
introduced by Jane Adams, chair
man of the meeting
The candidate lost no time in plung-
ing into his prepared address. A
declaration that the common people
are rising as in '61 for new
declaration of independence" brought
on prolonged wave of cheering. as
did statement that corruption and
greed have penetrated even to the
doors of the White House."
At the point the Senator departed
from his manuscript to compliment
the newspaper men who are accom-
panying him on his tour, declaring
they were reporting his addresses
with generosity and exceeding fair
ness"
Then he said:
AT one time my name was not per-
mitted to appear in the public prints
That was not the fault of the re-
porter-the orders came from away
back. But a new day has come. l
speak for the millions who will cast
their ballots in November"
A wave of applause at this state
ment grew into a storm of cheers, the
crowd rising as it gave vent 10 its
feelings.

Let s Not Forget

Those vital questions of
LIFE must be explained to the
young mind by someone. Would
you have it told in the quiet of
the home, or back of the barn,
in the school yard or on the
street corner?
The choice is yours. Not long
ago DR.. Barker, in his lectures
here, told fathers and mothers
how easily this information may
be impaired to sons and daugh-
tiers and how necessary it is that
the TRUTH should be told by
the parents of the child.
The father who hasn't the
stamina to talk to his boy, hard
ly deserves the blessings of
fatherhood. The mother, who
from foolish prudery, fails to
talk to her daughter, is failing in
her duty to her daughter and
the day may come when both
will regret the omission.
We soon forget. Determine
tons of today slip the mind in
the tomorrows.
Let's not forget that splendid
advice of DR.. Barker. If there
is a father or a mother who has
forgotten, or who failed to hear
DR.. Barker, let him apply to any
member Of the Rotary club here
and copy of either of those
addresses will be given him.
The boy and the girl are of
first importance. They are the
FUTURE. Their .well-being
should be and is the first con-
sideration of parent and COM
munity.
Let's not forget.
