NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The Re turn of Ruth a legendary, almost historic drama nowadays and ap- parently needing only unanimous opinion that the great one is through, to start a revival, was magnificent thing at its incep- ton ir. 1923.
 ResGgated to the ball players boneyard, dubbed the busted phe- nomenon," the Babe suddenly braced. A new spirit, inspired by mild, kindly little Miller Huggins, suddenly swept over the entire Yankee club.
 An idly disciplined mob of tenn peramental stars, each playing his own game, was transformed into a weil-ordered, sincere, closely knit team with Ruth, the contrite showing the way Beaten off by the Giants in two successive worlds series, humiliated, the Yankees came back to sweep the Ameri- can League again in 1923 wish Ruth hitting 1893, greatest average he ever compiled, along with Al home runs.
 Not the Same Ruth
 Into the third straight series with the Giants swept the Yan- kees, and this time Ruth was the deadly spearhead He rallied such mighty pitchers as Hert Pennock, home runs, the first he ever hit Shawkey, and his Slugging mates Bob Muesel, Joe Dugan, Wally Pipp, Whitey Witt and Aaron Ward.
 Ruth hit three home runs-a triple, double and two singles in Inc six games the Yankees needed to batter down the Giants four games to two. Two of his hombe runs, the first he ever hit in worlds series play, came in the second game of the series and won it for Herb Pennock, to 2. His distance smashes opened his assault on worlds series hitting records. No one before him had hit two homers in successive times at bat, nor three home runs in one series.

A LETTER FROM OKLAHOMA

in this county. suspect the same
is true over the entire state. I
was at the county seat, Salhsaw,
last Saturday. In travelling dis
lance of eighteen miles over one
of the main roads of the county
we counted four cars and about the
same number of farm wagons,
This was on a road where a few
years back one could have counted
wagons and cars by the hundreds
on Saturdays At the county seat
we saw a handful Of woebegone
looking farmers trying to barter
away few eggs, turkeys, and
chickens for baking powder, soda,
flour, and coffee. Not one Of
these farmers but needed the fowls
and eggs at home, but necessity
compelled that those articles be
sold TO gain bare existence.
Farmers win Turn Red.

the secret consultation between
Roosevelt and Hoover? Rest as
sured that those wise acres, when

The earnings per hour of all
workers inveStigated-21 1892 wage

THE taxpayers money" Mckee
and the World Telegram are SO
anxiously trying to save, comes
largely from the class which
brought the. 259,602 eviction pro-
ceedings. In one breath they
clamor for lower property taxes,
in the next they call for the evic-
ton of jobless workers and their
dependents.
Mckee out-Hoovers Hoover in
his defense of the doctrine of
rugged indiyidualism" for the l.
10000 unemployed workers in New
York City for whose maintenance
he opposes the use of money of
the taxpayers" He posed the fol-
lowing question to the members of
the Ohio Society who had just
tucked away beneath their belts
an expensive Hotel Pennsylvania
dinner:
Are we deliberately destroy
ing iby municipal relief the
fundamental American concept
that the individual is happiest
when he is left to work out his
own problems to his own salts
faction and best interests?"
No municipal relief for the I'M
ernployed-no taxation OF the
wealthy for unemployment relief;
this is a central point in the Nc
Kee program. This is his great
appeal to such journals as the
World Telegram whose chatter is
always about taxpayers and their
problems Let workers starve but
lower the taxes on the property of
the well-to-dO and wealthy.
The only fly in the ointment is
the prospect of the revolt of the
disinherited, propertyless, jobless
and hungry masses of unemployed
workers.
On this matter Mckee is able
to speak with confidence. born of
knowledge. He has toured one or
two municipal lodging houses and
finds that all is well; the unem-
ployed take their plight with the
humility and fortitude of early
Christian martyrs:
"These men," said the Acting
Mayor, ''are not yet broken in
morale" there is no hatred a
gainst the system and society in
them. They do not comprehend
what it is that has forced them
into their positions they feel
that they have not, as indivi-
duals, got the breaks. And that
is the reason why the Reds and
the Communists have not got
foothold in New York--because
of that very spirit among these
men,"
One can visualize the well-fed
audience applauding this state
ment to the echo. What a really
splendid type the American worker
is" che can hear them saying to
each other. How well they bear
up under the depression that has
affected us ALL These Reds and

splendid American spirit of these
working men! Something should

PARADE AS

The attempt to make the Con-
ference appear as a militant" con-
ference, a left" conference, a
conference of action" SO as to
appease the demand for Action

lip to open the Conference,
with many MARKHAM" phrases on
the causes of war, with phrases
that wars can only be done away
with the abolition of capitalism"
Knowing the sentiment of many of
the rank and file of the Young
Peoples Socialist League and other
delegates present, he was true, to
his role of ''left" Social fascist,
even calling on the youth ito at
times fight against the old leaders
of the Socialists But his posi-
ton, he clearly expressed, in spite
of the fact that it so evidently
could not be reconciled to his other
statements. He told the Confer

A MEXICAN workers are begin
a ming more and more to learn
the meaning of the word ''Conlmu-

TO the fact that the dreadful i'm
picstions attached by the capital
lst press to that word are without
foundation, This was evidenced by
the many comments made by
workers to the delegates of the
National Hunger March.
In Wilmington, Delaware, when
the marchers came in the morning
to the stores to make purchases,
explanations of surprise greeted
them. why, say, you Communist
fellows are just plain working peo-
pie like us, aren't. you? Where do
the police get an those stories
about you killing cops and throw
ing bombs?"
WORKERS STIRRED
When we left the Polish church,
the scene Of the police attack on
the marchers the night before, the
workers lined the streets with
scarcely a sound; they just watched
us silently and solemnly. We could
feel the significance of their quiet
and were conscious of that fact
that We had stirred something in
them-that they we're thinking,
thinking, as they saw the delegates
continue their march to Washing
ton.

" and Delaware where we had to
stop several times for gas or water,
we found We had been preceded by
car which had announced to the
local people along the road that
the Reds had killed Is cops in Will

keepers. an impoverished farmer,
and workers greeted us again with,
DO you mean TO tell me that this

A conductor on train pulling
past the caravan perched OIL the

of the window to shake his fist in

cry out SO that all the passengers
rushed to the windows: Those
