BUILDINGS FOR FAIR
ARE BEING ERECTED-BASEBAL
DIAMOND WILL BE ON
SAME GROUNDS

Work is progressing rapidly on the
fair grounds of the Morrison County Co.
operative Agricultural society. The
fence for the grounds has been complet-
ed, the old ball park fence being used
for part of it. The grain warehouse
and pickle factory buildings have also
been moved to the grounds and have
been placed in position. The grain ware
house will be used for wOmen's ex-
exhibits and the factory building will be
used for the exhibit of grains and vege-
tables
a ticket office, Skis feet, will be built
at the northwest corner of the grounds.
All the buildings will be we'll lighted
with 100 watt tungstens and these lights
will also be used in lighting the entire
grounds. The horses and cattle will be
cared for in forty double and twenty
single stalls of ample size. 1t is planned
to put one light in each of these stalls
next year. A large number of pens will
also be built.
The old grandstand OF the baseball as
sociation will be put up at the north
edge Of the fence and during the sum-
mer months the grounds will be used
for baseball games. Very little work will
be required to put the grounds into one
Of the finest baseball diamonds in the
state.
A free show will be put on in front Of
the grand stand at the fair this fall and
it is expected that an admission price Of
10 cents will be charged for grand stand
seats. All the buildings and the fence
will be painted white and will present a
very neat appearance. A general admis-
sion of Is cents is to be charged for ad-
mission to the grounds. The money de-
rived from this and the shows, it is
said, will pay for putting on the fair
and this, it is thought, will be the last
year that subscription list is necessary.

CONGRATULATIONS.

Congratulations to Harry st. George Tucker
of Virginia are In order.
Saturday he and three others were present
at the signing of the formal announcement OF
the ratification Of the seventeenth amendment
to the federal constitution. OF those four men
who had fought for years for popular election
of United States senators Secretary of State
Bryan was the one who had done more probably
than any other one man for the success OF the
policy, but none ranks Harry Tucker las an
earnest advocate Of the same policy. Mr.. Bryan
and Mr. Borah are better known to the country
at large In connection with the work precedent
to the ratification OF the amendment but Vir-
ginians know that it was Harry Tucker, of vir-
ginia who piioted the first resolution providing
for the amendment through the house of repre-
sentatives and who has been a consistent advo-
cate of 1t since that date. Saturday he was
present to see the end OF the journey on which
he had started 1t twenty-one years ago. The
Vfr1inaan wishes to join In the congratulations
due to him and which he will receive from
many.

government service outside Of Washington We
feel sure that we state the facts when say
fully 100000 OF these good people grossly
Disseminated against in point OF salaries paid,
as compared with the other $4,000 employees
who are not excessively paid but we'll paid for
services rendered raise this question not
against the 1876. 600 employees but in defense Of
the $780, 900 employees who are generally worked
hard and paid about one-half what they should
be paid. IL justice were done alike. and right
Gus administration OF the government were ef-
fected as the fore-fathers intended this govern

rights for all and special privileges for none"
The present intoierable condition has been
saddled on the people by the past administra-

the wrongs and make the government life what

monster called civil service? If able to
understand its true character, ii has been wrong
ly named and should be called "Uncivil Service

fresh air to the pent-ups and let a few of the
struggling masses in out of the storms that

believe in the absolutely fair thing. and in
ing out this policy will give life to the

INDICATED.

However doubtful may have been the propriety
Of Colonel Roosevelt's suit against lowly
Michigan newspaper which charged him with
drunkenness, even his btterest enemies, II at
the same time they be, patriots, will rejoice at
the result The coloners vindication Is pleas
ing to the country for many reasons, chief among
which Is that he Is an expresident Of the United
States and the nations most distinguished pri-
vate citizen.
To our way Of thinking the suit was unneces-
sary and we are frank to admit that when 1t
was brought we suspected that It was done for
campaign purposes and would be dropped after
the presidential campaign. during which the
charges were made had been closed. 1t was I'M
necessary for reasons that proven at the trial
Mr.. Roosevelt had no extended reputation fof
drunkenness and very little for being heavy
drinker. Rumors to that effect could be heard
IL Washington and occasionally elsewhere but
few people gave any credence at all to them
and even those who accepted them accepted them
only in part
However the case Is ended and the American
people have the satisfaction at least of having
had proven to them that the man whom they
had honored with their SURFACES twice and whom
hundreds of thousands have held to be the great
est man Of his age is not the drunkard depicted
by the editor of the shpeming iron Ore, More than
that-for most Of them knew that much already
they have had proven to them that he is not
a hard or steady drinker. but on the contrary
Is more than ordinarily temperate. That man
o. his commanding position and of his influence
upon the youth OF the nation should drink at all
IL regrettable. For his own sake 1t Is far better
that he should be temperate. II he could not
be a total abstainer, but have sometimes
thought that the influence OF the moderate drink
err is worse than that of confirmed drunkard
Growing youth is not likely to be attracted by
the spectacle of blear-eyed. sodden soak. with
'tousled hair sticking through old hat brim
coat out at elbow, shoes run down at heels
icollariess. vestless. dirty and miserable. On the
other hand the clean, efficient and successful
business or professional man who can take his
liquor or leave 1t" may influence a young admirer
tic attempt the same thing with disastrous re
suit to himself.
However, this is no temperance sermon. II
II merely an expression of pleasure that for
mer president OF the country and the Idol Of
thousands and hundreds of thousands has com
petely proven his innocence OF the charge o.
being a. roisterer, given to midnight carousal'
and foul language and an expression of the belle
that 1t WAS not necessary to sue in law court t.
convince the vast majority of the American people
that the charge was untrue
