The ft mmitleea are UoIbk Their imy fr the .if osc Part-Meet A rata To.lghi at the In -piov. meat AkHoeiatlon Room. The Twin-City Columbian exposition has taken a fresh start in Rock hland with tb j sun of the house to house can vass by the committees delegated a week ego, an I there is every, assurance that Rock L land will come up with its v pro portion of the $100,000, whether Moline does er not . It matters not to thi bat attitude our sister city take;. The two cit es started out to raise $50,000 each, Bock Island has led in the enter prise fiom the first, and it will be due to no fault of this city if the project fails of success . The impression that exertia themselves to create, that. Mnlino is not (loint its part and consequently Rock Island has lost hope has failed of us purpose. Rock Island has cone into this th ngto win, and win it will if per sistent work and unfailing determination count for anything in this town. Tne fct that the Twin-City base ball orcanizitlon has lessed the McMaster tract iamt diatfcJy east of the proposed Coluabisn Fite, is no indication that the origin 1 undertaking has failed. Not by any meaDS. The committee :n charge of the Cdumbian enterprise had desired that the ball grounds be included in the groun Is o.t which the option is held until Mav 5, but the owntrs of the land refusi d to let the ball club in until the first pujment be made on the grounds. The club therefore perfected i's lease with Mr. McMsster in order that the opening o! the easoj might not be de layed, and with the hope that when the Columbian association is fully organized it wil assume the lease, having as it has, abundant use fcr the grounds, and move the purk into the Columbian grounds proptr.ihe outlying leased grounds be ing d sirhble for other purposes. Tonight the soliciting committees are to met at the rooms of the Rock Island In- pDvjnn'nt association, and next Mon day evening the finitl report is tx pec ted. Let noone who has Rock Island's interests at heurt be discounted; it is much easier to lor k a: the da:k side of a great under tbkiDg than the bri.Pbt side. It is easier to dit coumge than to encourage a public enterprise. Let no one be guilty of throwing cold water on the project, no inattt r wLat bis feelings with regard to it. Sever le Part.
