But he may have ousand erazy fans booed him at the Polo thuosand crazy fans boode him at the Polo " Grounds. A judge sits in as near to majes- ty as this republic permits, monarch of his court and all who are in it. His word goes and no judge on the bench was ever better cognizant of it than Kenesaw Mountain Landis, His saw-edged, sarcastic voice was supreme in his court room as ever was the command of a driving skipper on his quarter-deck at sea. Protesting ¢counsel and mutinous witnesses quailed at the twists of his knife-edged jaw and tHe shake of his white mane. Did he, one wonders, have a fleeting memory of that surrendered pow- er as-he sat in his box at the world series and took it? Did he not, just for an:instant 16ng to cry as of old for his bailiff to.‘‘clear the court—bring that. man.up-here!” " It was & ‘passing incident, result -of circum- stance for which Landis was probably not in the least’ responsible. But it must have made more ‘vivid: to him than’ any, exper- ience since he left the bench how different i8 the job of baseball arbiter than that of a‘ federal judge. A lot of men who have wriggled while Judge Landis impaled them on his: bitter humor from the bench may think they would have given much to see him in his turn, at bay and helpless. But we doubt if it would have given them much comfort. For whatever else Judge Landis is, he is:not afraid. We’ll venture he look- ed the mob in the eye and grinned.—Ex. — : It is better to keep your eye on a star than your -ear to the ground. The richest inspirations come from above, not beneath. It is better to be rejected of men . ina righteous cause, than elected of men on & bad platform. BETTER N cigarettes for l O¢ Strange as it may. seem, it was only. 75 years ago that the present day match—the one of a chemical gnd—was known only to certain ‘sections of the country. The following excerpt from a letter by a Middle West woman to her cousin in N%w York explains the situation as it existed:in the late forties of the last century: - “Last Winter-I'was told of a curious. new device for making fire. It consisted of small splinters of wood with tips of some sub- stance that burst into flames;when'rubbed on a rough surface. If-you.can . procure some:of them for me I shall be grateful.” .+ In.those ‘days matches were’in general _A1s¢ throughout most of Europe, but:there _were little means of spreading news about “them then. Advertising then was in its in- fancy. A KA R A ) Today the new things of life are brought to the public’s attention immediately. Any- thing that’s worth while is spread broad- cast over the country within a short time. Nogthern Maine, Southern’ - “California, Minneapolis and New Orleans know about a new product—a new. invention-—a new almost everything—about the same time. Modern advertising together with- mod- ern means of transportation, turns. -the trick. The advertisements are-the-heralds of progress—they convey the news of the day wihin a few hours of their happening They know about the new things of life shortly after they are marketable. Advertising: certainly has made this a “ much smaller world than its-space would indicate. PRAISE FOR THE ABLE FINANCIAL LEADER Financial experts the country over -are complimenting Secretary of Treasury Mel- lon on his keen analysis of the money market as expressed in the terms of the new bond issue. It is believed by some that a four per cent bond eould have been eventually sold, but. the.four and a-half per cent rate assured- a big over-subscrip- tion without delay or special effort or ex- pense on the part of the Treasury. . §—% 3 LEAGUE INCREASES WAR The Near East arrangemients sét up by the countries that control the league of na- tions brought practically. continuous war in"that part of the world. Now that the, status quo ante bellum has been practical- ly reestablished, it looks as though there would be peace for a while. Small credit to the league of nations for the change; ra- ther it has been attained in spite of the league. . 2y Senator Hitchcock, of ~Nebraska® : is greatly worried about the ‘“‘robber tariff” which required some of his foreign. import- er friends to dig up extra money for the U. S. Treasury. g ' We read the other day where Dog Fan- ciers point out.the fact that a dog fills an empty space in a man’g life.

Farnum represents man as, we all wish to see him—a man who fights f§or right against injustice, large and small. " In ‘“Moonshine Valley” he has a beautiful background for his work— most of the scenes in the play are laid- in the western foothills. Sadie’ Mullen, a new-comer to the sereen, is Farnum’s leading lady, He is also supported by another new- comer, Dawn O’Day, three years old. This youngster is said to be one of the cleverest children appearing on the ‘stage, plays a prominent part.

Rudolph Valen. tino i the star and Lila Lee and Nita Naldi. are featured. Thig is an announcement of in- terest to book lovers and those who follow the artistic advances of the photoplay, For “Blood and Sand” an exotic, colorful story of Spain, is said to be even more compellingly interesting than ‘was its great pre- decessor by the same author. “Blood and Sand” has another un- usual point of appeal in that it is the first starring picture of Rodolph Valentino whose rise to film success has been without precedent. It is a Fred Niblo production, directed by the man who made “The Three |, Musketeers.” . Assurance that the Ibanez novel has been correctly in- terpreted is offered with the presen- tation of June. Mathis as adaptor. She wrote the scenario for “Tne Four Horsemen. of. the” Apocalypse.”. ‘Mr. Valentino is sipportéd in “Blood and Sand” by Lila Lee and Nita Naldi and a picked company of Paramount players. As “Blood and Sand” is nine reels ’ in* length, no short subjects will pre- cede the showing and patrons are advised to be in their seats at the hour of starting, 7:15 p. m. and the s second show at-9 p, m- “THE FAMILY.
