other people, is unable to apply what
he knows to practical things in a
way to get practical results. The
longer he has been in office the more
he feels this handicap when he goes
out to participate in the struggle that
is competitive in it's nature.
If he is one of those politicians who
is in for term and out for term,
he is generally a man Of considerable
leisure during the off-years.
He reads, plays cards, keeps in
touch with current gossip, associates
more or less with loafing element,
watches for snaps whereby he can
make some easy money and gradually
degenerates in his habits and comes

WHY is A COUNTY SEAT?

Why is county seat a doubtful
benefit to a town? Or in other words
why is not town better in proper
tion to the increased volume of bust
ness due to it's being county seat?
If being a county seat adds ten per-
cent to the volume of it's business
why is it not improved by ten per
cent?
There are several reasons. Some
of them are capable of demonstrate
ion, and some of them are not.
A county seat town has some points
of resemblance to politician. Two
men equally gifted and equally quail
flied for service to the world make a
a choice of vocations. One turns his
attention to farming or stockraising
or mercantile pursuit and the other
goes into politics. One renders USE
full service to his county all the time
and the other renders useful service
only when he is in office. When he
is out of office he is playing wait
ing game, and when he is campaign
ing he is fighting something or
somebody and his energies are to a
great extent waste energy. If he is
a politician in small way, a holder
of some county office, his work is Of
a perfunctory kind, a kind that does
not require him to get out and hus-
tie, but rather he waits for it to come
TO him. His work does not develop
grit and spunk and ingenuity, and
he, like the school teacher and the
preacher, when thrown out upon his

a scanty estate. This is about an
average outline for the man who
makes business of county politics.
In describing him we have describ-
ed part of that additional business
that comes to town by reason of it's
being county seat There are sew
eral like him in each county, and
then there are many others who serve
term or two and 60 back to the
farm or the shop or the store and
say, Never again. The latter,
when elected moves his family to
town if he has a family, and moves
away again when his term expires.
Then there are people from the vari-
GUS parts Of the county that drive
to the county seat to attend court
and to pay their taxes or to appear
before the county board when in Sos
sion, and they spend some money
with hotels and lodging houses and
buy some goods while in town. That

is about the extent of the benefits
accruing to county seat towns, and to
get these petty benefits the ordinary
country town or village will expend
thousands of dollars every two years
until such time as they can get the
legislature to make the county seat.
And in order to win in the race with
some other town they generally have
to put up a bonus to partly cover the
cost Of the court house. The same a.
Of energy expended in other
ways would bring sure returns, with
the additional advantage Of cultivat-
Ing the "go-get-it" spirit among its
business men in regard to trade, as
contrasted to the policy Of "sit-down-

HOLIDAY FIRE DANGERS
State Board Of Insurance Offers
a Few Timely Suggestions as
freyentatiyes.

The custom of merchants dec
Grating places of business for
the holiday trade is a most haZ-
ardous one from a standpoint of
fire. The decorating Of churches
and school houses for Christmas
trees and other means of enter
tainment is also dangerous. The
promiscuous use of fire works is
at all times a menace to hfe and
property.
For the purpose of trying to
impress upon the public the
need for care throughout the
last two weeks of December.
the Department calls attention
to the following important sug-
gestlons contained in the Holt
day Fire Bulletin issued by the
National Fire Protection Associ-
alton.
Stores. Churches and Bazaars:
Holiday fires in these while filled
with people are usually holo-
causts. Light, inflammable dec
orations make fires easy to start
and easy to spread. A match,
a gas flame or an electric de-
feet may do it.
Watch cigar. cigarette and
pipe smokers. DO not permit
them to light M" inside build
ings. Do not make the slightest
change in electrical wiring with
out consulting electrical inspec-
tor.
Warnings for the Home: Ev-
cry year in America many chill
dren are burned to death by fire
from Christmas candles. Do
not decorate your Christmas
tree with paper. cotton. or other
inhammable material. Use me-
talIic tinsel and other non-in-
fiammable material only. and set
the tree securely so that the
children in reaching for things
cannot tip it over. Do not use

cotton to represent snow. II
you must have snow use asbestos
fibre.
Do not permit children 10 light
or re-light candles while parents
are not present. They frequently
set fire to their clothing instead:
and the tree itself will burn
when the needles have become
dry. Do not leave matches with
in reach of children at holiday
time. Candles are meant 10 be
lighted, and if the children can
get matches they will expert
ment with them. They initiate
their elders.
A house of merriment is better
than . house Of mourning.
These suggestions are consid-
cred most timely, and they are
offered for no other purpose than
as an effort to arouse the public
to a point of alertness that will
prevent as far as possible, a rep
clifton of fire losses that have
heretofore marked Christmas Gel
ebrations.
Every city and town in the
State that has not enacted an
ordinance strictly prohibiting
the use of fire works should do
so at once.

Napoleon Lajoie Turns Baseball Philosopher and Discusses Some Difficulties of Modern Mag
 nate-Wo.Id Go Limit.

Napoleon Lajoie turned baseball philosopher the other day and dis. cussed some of the difficulties of a baseball magnate. From his long ex- perience as a manager and player he knows whereof he speaks.
 Lots of people thought Barney Dreyfuss was crazy when he paid s22.500 for Marty O'Toole last fall. re- marked Lajoie. T don't know wheth- CT Barney paid that much in cash or not. but if Marty comes through for Pittsburg it was money we'll spent. If were club owner and had a pitch- er offered me that I absolutely knew would be a star in the big league, don't think I would hesitate at paying $50, ,000 It would be money well spent. but I doubt if many club owners will ,agree with me.
 But they spend the money just the same in the effort without getting the star pitcher. When I came to Cleve- land Somers and Kilfoyl had Addie Joss. He had cost them nothing and he proved to be one of the best pitch CTS and ball players the game ever knew. But after they got Joss they invested good deal more than $50,- 900 in pitchers, without getting an.

part of the game. Ii 1 had had Vean Gregg to work along with Addie back in 1908 we would have played the Cubs for the worlds pennant, but one star pitcher rarely wins a pennant, especially if that star is a man who needs at least three days in between his games.
 Yes, sir. star pitchers are mighty scarce. You can go out and get the outfelders who can throw. bat and run the bases; you can get the in fielders who can field with lot of speed and hit fairly we'll, but you have got to go some to dig up two great pitchers in two or three seasons, to say nothing of in one year No use talking. Philadelphia was lucky when it grabbed Alexander and Chalmers the same season, and got them cheap at that

was obtained on a claim by the Pirates, and who will try to beat the mighty Eonus Wagner out of his job; and Bill Kelly, who is a battery mate of the famous s22,5O4 Marty O'Toole, are the three recruits.
 The Cubs have two, Ed Reulbach, one of the mainstays in the pitcher'S box, and Artie Holman, who is rated as one of the best outfielders in the National league.
 Arthur Fletcher, who warmed the bench for McGraw couple of sea sons, finally got Al Bridwell's job at short, and who was star of the last worlds series, is the only member of the teams representing Gay Gotham.
 Yin Campbell, star outfielder, who has been with the Pirates for the past two seasons, will line up with the Boston Nationals, having been traded for Mike Donlin.
 The Phillies will take two young sters who played in the Trolley league last season on the spring train ing trip. Red" Smith, who caught for the Ben Millers. last years city champions, and Red" Roach, another marksman, who played with the Hyde Parks There is hardly a chance for these sorrel-topped lads to make good on such a big jump. but according to minor league managers who tried to get them. they are both players of great promise.
 While the National league takes 13 players, the American only takes 1, Peters, who was one of the star pitch. CTS in the American association with the Minneapolis team; Chink Mat. tick, an outfielder, who halls from the western league, and who had a trial last spring under Hughey Duffy, and Joe Berger, shortstop, who also comes from the Western league. They will make the training trip under the eye of Jimmy Callahan. Berger had trial last spring under Clark Grif filth, then manager of the Cincinnati Reds. Bob Groom, who has been a member of the Washington team for several seasons as a pitcher. is the fourth member of the American league.
 In addition to this grand total of 160 baseball players, St Louis will also send out two umpires, Garrett Bush, who graduated to the National league from the Texas league last fall, and Red" Held. who will work in the Connecticut league.

PRODUCER OF PLAYERS
St. Louis Has at Least One in

Mound City Sends 16o Boys to Differ ent Clubs This Season-Fred Clarke of Pittsburo Gets Big
 qest Part of Talent.

That St. Louis is the greatest base ball player producing city on the map is proven by the fact that more than 150 boys from the Mound City will earn their living as members of differ ent league clubs. At least one player is represented in nearly every league in the country. Every one of thtsse men has at one time played in the Trolley league or on some of the St. Louis lots.
 Of this big number of ball tossers, 16 are big leaguers, one of them being a member of the Cardinals. Gene Dale a pitcher of wkom Roger Bres- nahan said nice things last fall. Fred Clarke of the Pirates seems to get the biggest part of the St. Louis majo, league talent every year. This sea son he will start on his training trip with five Mount Cityans.

ctier man the equal of Joss, until Gregg was bought. See my argu- meat? The average club owner will think nothing of paying anywhere from s2,000 to $5,000 apiece for pitch ing recruits who he hopes will make good. Nine times out of ten the money is thrown away, while the tenth time he may get only a fair pitcher.
 My contention is that if the oppor- turity is presented a club owner should not hesitate about paying the price for star. He'll not only save money by not having to buy so many seoond-raters, but he will also make it up at the g:te.
 Go back through your memory. In ten years Cleveland has had two real star pitchers-Joss and Gregg. Chi cago has had Ed Walsh, and Walsh has been the one man to keep the White SoX out of the cellar. St Louis has not had any. New York had Chf fsbro and later on Russell Ford. Philadelphia had Waddell, Plank, Bender and Coombs. Washington has had only one-Walter Johnson-while Joe Wood is the only one developed by Boston. although O'Brien looks as if he might be another one, Cy Young and Bill Deneen were stars at Boston, but they were stars before they join ed our league.
