But there was one big drawback to the whole affair and that was the conduct of the crowd. A few of the individuals on the side-lines, or per- haps we should say on the diamond ere young male rowdies who were having the time of their lives howling at the umpire, the pitcher | and other players. They rooted for no side, they just howled. That was probably their idea of a gcod time, but it was extremely offensive to the players, we imagine, and we know it | was to the majority of the specta- tors. With these few, but nolsy, excep- tlons, the remainder of the audience was well behaved excepting that most of them showed a tendency to rowd the diamond and the players, giving them little opportunity to play the game as it should be play- ed. Consldering the number of people included in the list of both specta- tors and players it seems as though the city, through the Park Board, could well afford to purchase a few hundred feet of rope and six or eight iron stakes of sufficient height to carry it and rope off when there is to be a game, an arca containing the diamond and suficlent space at the s back to keep the crowd away from the p es and .

That 1s entirely contrary to puri- tanical notions, or the notions that sway a good deal of the thought in this country. Millicns of citizens still regard the ronconformist with gencral opinion as something of an outlaw, Some of the flogzings the south have been inflicted because | the victims did not go to church. Whose business is it except their own whether they care to go to church or stay away? But the southern in najority opinion of rommunities is against such exercise of liberty and free- dom. It they don't go of thelr own free will give them a licking, seems to be the prevailing notion. “That’s what I think and the oth- er fellow ought to think the same,” is the unuttered slogan in large sections of the country. And if sun- dry unfortunates do not think and act like the majority they will forced to do so. That at least is be the und2mocratic spirit which pre- vails. What we think, belfeve and do is our own business so long our | action conforms with the law. This as business of trying to force everyone to believe the ideas fsn't fundamentally American. It looks s if half the people are making the other half same sometimes engaged jagree with notions. Perched on the top of the heap are a few individuals who wish to des- their own | ignate what the notions are to be. Holmes' statement is refreshing. to offer them. That is different from forcing others to accept them. If they are worth while they will win and won't reduire force or persua- AIR M AIL PROGRESS The York airmail line is known as route No. 1.
