Here's another thing some of you
baseball writer's appear to have over
looked. Our clubs as constitustd at pres
ent. are not composed entirely of high
priced players. We have a number Of
stars on each team: We also have a Num-
ber of youngsters whom We are develop
ing and who are not drawing fancy saia-
ries.
II happen to know that the Chicago
Federal League pay roll is at least So COZ
a year lower than the Chicago Cubs, and
We could beat the Cubs easily in a series
of games
You remember that when tire Federal
League started last winter Ban johnson.
president of the American League, made
the statement that We would never open
our gates. He qualified this later by
saying that we would blow Up with rhe
rest OF the fireworks on or before
July T.
I'VE have played every scheduled
game thus far and have done much bet
ter than We thought possible before the
league opened.
The Federal League knew before il
started what obstacles would have to be
overcome. We foresaw what organized
baseball would attempt to do, and every
club owner who invested his money vent
into the proposition with his eyes open.
Charlie WeEhman, the owner OF the
Chicago club. who also owns and con-
ducts a string OF restaurants in Chicago,
has increased his business this summer
about 500 day, just from the advertis-

tion with the Federal League has given
him.

State who have been taking
themselves SO seriously, in many
matters pertaining to the welfare Of
the State. AS theorists. the women
OF Georgia are no more impractical
bic than those women of other States
who have made red marks on the
calendars of legislative sessions, but
few States have given the women the
same opportunity to get identified
with big things, as Georgia offered
the past year, and no State met with
less interest.
A summary from one of the daily
papers tells what the Legislature ac-
emphasized, and Their list is marked
important" Look at it:
The vital statistics bill, requiring
that there shall be made reports Of
births and deaths in the State
That State and county officials
shall be elected for a term of four
~insetead of two years
That it shall be q misdcmeanor for
a person to issue a check, draft, or
order on bank when there are no
funds to meet the same.
To change the time Of State and
county elections so that the same
GIcs11 NC HGtQ Oh Tie uISt L uCSUdy
after the first Monday in November
To extend the time Of holding Of
flee of legislators until their sue
cessors are qualified.
To provide that all persons shall
be subjected to garnishment to not
over One-half Of tho amount Of their
wages if the wages earned are more
than $1.25 day.
None Of those bills strike one as
being absolutely essential to the SAL
walton Of anybody's soul, and it
dOesn' t seem that the Ship Of State
would have Wobbled a great deal, il
none of the bills had been heard of.
One Of the most important bills, not
referred to in the above, was what
is known as the Sheppard Labor Bill,
which is meant to care for the child
who is compelled to work Maybe
in due time most of us will be able
to grasp the salient features Of the
bill, and see where the employer
cannot get around it, but lacking
compass and key, some Of us will
trust to Providence that the poor lit
tie workers, starved mentally and
physically, will somehow work out
their own salvation, until more Of us
have time to snatch week or two
from the other things we have to
do.
That Georgia has missed the OPP
portunity to set herself right on this
tremendous question, may be inferred
from this editorial in the New York
Times:
again has the Georgia Legislature
voted to continue the States dis
honor by chasing her among the few
remaining States which fatten on the
labor of children. Year after year
Georgians who honor Georgia try to
redeem her from this disgrace by
enacting a law prohibiting child la
Dor. The House passes the bill and
the Senate, under the guidance Of
the mill owners, either kills it out
right or passes it in such shape that
it is unobjectionable to them. This
year the melancholy farce is again
repeated"
One of the most important meas,
ures, which was batted about like a
tennis ball, played with more openly
than even the average lobbyist and
legislator-for-reven dared do
in years, was the McCrory School
Book Bill.
Georgia has gone back several pegs
when she refuses to break mono
poly that has for it's victims, the
school children Of the State.
