HICAGO, J 14--Yesterday'

~HlCAGO, j -. l4,-h esteruaS
baseball happenings were OF
little consequence. Nothing of
sensational nature was given out at
Federal League headquarters, Charles
W Murphy's most important story
was The signing OF Outfielders Char
ley Stewart and Cy Williams, and the
only news to be picked up around the
offices OF the White SoX was the nam
ing of a few exhibition dates for the
Sox while training in California.
The Feds were probably contented
10 sit idly and say nothing yester-
day. They came through in such
grand form the other day when thew
announced the positive signing of
Killifer. Brennan, Packard and Cole
by the Chicago team that they prob
ably figured that they were entitled
10 an off day. And they were. They
are promising us some sensations
during the present week, and, believe
us. we will camp on their trail. We
have a direct tip that the next story
released by Gilmore & Co. will be
regular bear
OF' course. Charles w. Murphy was
- well pleased yesterday over the
s. ening of Outfielders Williams and
Stewart. During these troublesome
days the signing of contract by
member OF the American and Nation
al Leagues is bound to bring great
deal OF satisfaction into the offices OF
the interested parties Murphy de-
clares that at least % or MS athletes
are now under contract That makes
the Cubs look pretty safe for the 1914
season.
And. by the way, have YOU stopped
10 consider that with the Phillies
being stripped of some of their Valua-
BILE talent that the National League
race for 1914 begins 10 look very
much like Giant-Cub affair? To
date the Feds have not invaded the
ranks of either of these teams, and
with the Phillies being crippled, also
a strong possibility of Pittsburg los
ing some timber to the Feds, 1t be-
gins to look very much as though Nc
Graw and Evers already have shade
over the other National League clubs
that viii battle for the gonfalon dur
ing the present year.
MR.. MURPHY takes his daily jab at
A'A the Federal League. He said
yesterday that he was willing to wa
ger that the Feds would not open
their season. However, he made no
wasers to that effect.
Below we publish short interview
handed out by the Cub boss OF

how is YOUR COUNTY FAIR.

Once again we urge the import
ance of the county fair, But why
fair?" some one asks On, we'll
why any effort for the good of the
county or the state? For though
the fairs, both county and State, are
for the most part organized as
private associations, they generally
represent praiseworthy patriotism
on the part of the hackers, snd too
often their reward is only the privi-
leee of going down into their pock-
cts to meet some deficiency occasion
ed, in part perhaps, by pour failure
10 make an exhibit or attend. The
answer in brief as to why you should
have a fair is, for the public good,
for giving individuals new ideas and
for stimulating community pride.
But these fairs are social Organi-
cations as well, and so helpful in
this respect that it is questionable
whether in any other way they
serve so large a purpose. Bringing
together the representatives of every
county seat leads the people to
know one another, a knowledge as
powerful with the community as
the know thyself" with the individ-
nal. They are likewise educational.
The average fair, county or state,
has something for the visitor who
goes with his eyes open and his
mind alert.
Moreover, our fairs are putting
larger stress on these educational
features each year. The midway
is lessening, the gambling devices
and the drinking places have gone
or are going. This new order OF
things means much for the larger
fairs, but more for the smaller ones,
which have suffered from the false
impression that special attractions
beyond their financial reach were
necessary to their success, Numer-
Gus and most successful county fairs
were held last year with their agri-
cultural, educational and livestock
exhibits for their sole drawing
cards.
If your county isn't in line with
the progressive counties with fairs,
why not you and your neiehbors get
busy at onceY By a little determin-
ed effort on the part of all classes,
you can have a fair yet.-Proe-

Removes Constitutional Restrictions.


Proposed Amendment No. II, when
passed, will merely give back to the
people their rights which they set
aside in 1874 by the adoption Of the
constitution of that year. The amend
ment, when adopted, will permit the
people Of the cities and towns Of one
thousand or more population to hold
elections to vote on any proposed bond
issue. II, at such special election,
held after due and proper notice has
been given, the people vote to issue
bonds for any certain prescribed pub
lie improvement, then such bonds can
be issued. No mayor or City Council
can order bonds issued, no group of
men, politicians or otherwise, will be
permitted to issue bonds, no bonds can
be issued at all unless ordered by the
people at an election.
