Fans have been pulling for him all sum-| mer as he struggled to beat his own best record| made in the days before the fall. The one thing| that was necessary to prove beyond a doubt that the “King of Swat” was really and truly| on his throne again was to break his great home-| run record of 1921, when he established the high- water mark with 59 complete circuit swats in one season. Yesterday he made his 60th home rum, establishing a new world record. Babe’s 1921 popularity went to his head, and, apparently, was his undoing. He became unman- ageable and two or three times he was all but permanently put out of the game. The greatest popularity ever won by a baseball player gave way to utter disgust. After a few years the Bambino reformed, and started out to win back his lost glory. Fans realized lagt year that he bhad made good, when he clouted out 47 home runs and then went into the World Series and broke the world’s record for home runs and extra bases. Notwithstanding that he was walked el- even times by fearful pitchers, who were afraid | to let him have a whack at the ball, he made four home runs in the seven games against the St. Louis Nationals. Howeyer, in spite of that wonderful season’s work, there was that 1921 record of the days of former fame still unbeaten. Well, even that record has gone into the discard and the New Babe has the Old Babe lashed to the mast. He has come back so strong that none can ques- . tion it. FARM LAND VALUES CONTIN DOWNWARD. Farm real estate values in the United States continue the downward course that began in 1921 accordmg to a recent statement issued by the Department of Commerce. The depreciation has been uninterrupted for the last seven years, sald, the statement, and it added that there are . plenty of farms for sale with buyers few and cautious. The decrease in values since 1920 in the country as a whole has been about 30 per cent. Present values are about on a level with . those of 1917——that is, about 19 per cent. higher than 1913 prices. The high mark was reached in 1920, when values exceeded the pre-war . standards by about 69 per cent. Using the 1913 values as 100 per cent., there was a steady rise until 1920 when they were 169 per cent. Since then there has been a, steady decline until they are 119 per cent. of the pre- war figure. R The decline in values this year was less , | on the Pacific Coast than any other part of the 3 l"iaunlry. due, probably, to the large wheat crop and better prices in the Northwest. AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE BIG PROB- : LEM ON THEIR HANDS. i3 According” to evidence gathered by a Senate * investigating committee it cost $67,000,000 to ~get Prohibition into the Constitution and the Volstead Act on the statute books and it has : $2,500,000 a year since the adoption of Eighteenth Amendment to keep it in the stitution and to get enforcement legislation ind appropriations. This suggests the significance of co-operation ween a great Prohibition enforcement organi-| numbering thousands on thousands (30,- have been asked for the Southern District of New York alone) and the Anti-Saloon League which has determined to defeat for any legisla- or judicial or law enforcement position any who refuses to pledge himself to work with h organization. It not only has determined defeat any such persons but it has been de- feating them in many States. To do'so it uses ‘without limit and makes combinations | all sorts of interests—including bootleggers.

Ha! “I've looked for trouble and I'v had trouble thrust on me—" “Yes?” inquired the victim. “But I'il be derned if I ever thought 1'd be fool enough to buy it.” glowied the boob who hal invested in a cheap second-han! measure of judgment. Material success that has been honestly attained, and without injury to others, to some extent bespeaks the character of the successful person. And, again, it must be that material success has been at- tained, and perhaps just as often expressed, in ways not subject to sordid appraisement. The material success of a Sage found outlet inquiry and amelioration; of a Car- negie expanding educational opportunity through. public libraries; of a Rockefeller in world-wide work for the relief of human pain and distress. It is a fairly safe generalization to say that American judgments of men accord- ing to their material success are derived more from what they do with their money than from| how much money they have. If we cared to generalize on English ten- dencies in this respect, reference might be made to the continuous distribution of peerages, acco- lades of knighthood, stars, garters and crosses innumerable, among persons noted merely for wealth, or possibly for the excellence of their brews and distillations. Sometimes it has seem- ed to us that the English were not only ‘‘prone to judge,” but almost prostrate in adulation of the grosser substances of material success. social in in Party Newspapers. (Prince Rupert News.) It is suggested that the Conservatives at their convention next month will have before them a suggestion to establish a chain of party news- papers, either by buying out papers already es- tablished or by starting others. Some Conserva- tive papers have objected already to the move and have objected to their being classed as party papers. The curious thing is that party papers do not seem to be effective in winning elections. The only two places in British Columbia where they have strong party daily papers which mon- opolize the field is at Nelson and New West- minster and both constituencies were won by Liberals at the last.elections held there. Both the Nelson News and the New Wesminster Co- lumbian are party papers as much as any papers could possibly be and yet they were unable to influence the electorate sufficiently to retain the seats for the party they supported. As a matter of fact people are very apt to vote the opposite way from what party news- papers advise, largely because théy know that the advice is not given as the result of an fn- dependent opinion and also because of the innate mulishness of the race which refuses -to be driven or herded in a direction it does not want to go. Party and they newspapers are a doubtful advantage are a doubtful benefit to the country. Not a Likely Error. (Ohio State Journal.) The reliable Associated Press says President Coolidge is taking back to Washington a bit of the free and easy manner which characterizes the life in the newer sections of the country, but everything goes by comparison in this old vale of tears and laughter, and it all depends on what you're used to in each Individual case, and we don’t suppose there is much likelihood that any- body in Washington, seeing the President going along the street, will say: “Why, hello; there's Jimmy Walker!” Mr. McAdoo's announcement that he will not be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President in 1928 was not unexpected. Even a casual observer could see that he has been steadily losing ground. ' Many of his former supporters, includnig the party leaders in this State, have intimated that they were tired of answering McAdoo roll calls. The impression is general that he has not remounced much.— (Seattle Times.) Selma, Ala., has a clock which has run 68 years and has varied only three seconds in that time.
