AN INSULT TO LABOR.
The Pretentions of Political Under Bosses
to Control 1t.

to Control 1t.
The mere attempt of machine-dried
politicians TO line up labor Organiza-
tions at the behest of the corner, -
and thus enjoy the distinction of hav-
ing used labor unions for the further
ance of ends purely political, is one
of the most audacious, as well as the
most desperate, undertakings of the
present campaign. The bare fact that
an ex-mail carrier, and one who is
trying to make good his chances for
reappointment to his old place, should
have been selected as one whose
duties are to accomplish this,
and who has already boosted of
having made one conquest, is evil
dence of the political trickery back
of it. And the very thought that an
under-political boss who blows of
controlling the teamsters of the city,
and a monaghan politician down
town should assume to deliver the
labor vote of Rock Island. through
resolution or in person, to any ticket,
is gross insult to every intelligent
labor uuion man in the city. The
sustaining virtue of labor in organi-
cation is the elimination of politics
from its councils and actions, and
the presumptuous purpose to trod
under foot this principle now in the
mad rush to force a corner on politics
into control despite the wishes of the
people, will fall beneath the weight
of its own iniquity. No boss politi-
clan carries the labor vote of Rock
Island around in his pocket to
deliver it as the fruits of his own toll
to the support ofany ticket, especially
one which after the machinemade
candidate for the mayoralty, is mainly
graced by a candidate whose most
distinguished act as member of the
council was to cast his vote against a
S-hour day for municipal labor.

About Mai. ReIl

The dispatches from Washington

captured documents. One of the pa
pers has important bearing on the
present situation. 1t is marked most
urgent and addressed to .'Senor Don
Emilio Aguinaldo. 1t is signed by
'.Bonafacio Arevalo, who appears to
have been one of Aguinaldo's trusted
agents in Pasig. The writer says he
has 1000 men available, who will rise
at the hour fixed for the rupture.
Local interest attaches to the letter in
that the writer says he has been
warned by friend, who processes to
speak in the name of Mai j. F. Bell,
who has since been reported among
the wounded, that he had better keep
quiet and stay at home, but that the
advice is repugnant to his feelings.

Favor.
HIS OFFICIAL WORKS APPROVED

The Reservoir Among the Greatest of
His Achievements Apart From Keeping
the City Apace With Others in Point
of Modern Improvement and Devel-
opment.
1t has scarcely been before in the
history of local politics that the gen
eral inclination of all classes of voters
has been so marked a week in advance
of the election as is the case at the
present time. The people seem to
have made up their minds as TO the
course they propose to take, and that
is, to continue the present admins
tration in Office, to the end that it
may not only have opportunity to
complete the good work in hand. but
that public appreciation may be given
of an administration that has been so
pain stalking and industrious in behalf
of the public good. The friends of
the administration, although gratitied
by the signs of the times so unmis-
takably apparent on every hand, are
determined to relax no effort to make
the election day verdict as nearly
unanimous as possible. All the argu-
ments that can advanced on purely
political grounds cannot shake the
determination of the people of Rock
Island, irrespective of politics. to re-
turn to the executive chair n man

of his duty, and one who has held the

Medill has been in Office than in any

Greatest of All Achievements.
And while furthering general i'm
provements, Mayor Medill has found
way to provide that which appeals
more strongly to the people than
pride in an up-to date town-that
which comes closer to their welfare
than all else-pure and healthy water.
The transformation of the supply
which comes from the city water
mains within week since the filter
ing process, although still incomplete,
has commended itself to all con-
sumers, and one has but to 90 to the
hvdrant and turn on the water to
observe what has already been &C
complished: and this is but sugges-
ton of what it will be when the plant
on the bluff is in complete working
shape. No more convincing argument
could be shown of the force of the
reservoir. rs argument in Mayor
Medill's behalf, now that it has been
tested, than the systematic attempt
started at once by cunning politicians
to the effect that only the use of alum
could have produced such marked
results in the appearance and condi-
ton of the water. The idea was, of
course, secuted as preposterous, and
those sent out to spread it were finally
called in. The continuance of the
flow of pure water, which has become
clearer. day by day, has proven its
own best argument in controverting
the cheap and malicious cackle about
the employment of artificial means of
publication.
The reservoir is an enterprise that
Mayor Medill is justly proud to be
with, and it is an enterprise
that would reflect him mayor if moth
iHg else did.

1t would be superfluous to attempt
an introduction of Mr.. Mcintyre TO
the citizens of Rock Island, for he is
known by young and old from one
end of the town to the other. He has
been resident of Rock Island since
1888, and his name is synonymous
with the commercial history of the
city. He is native of Iowa, having
been born at Wilton.
Lover of Humanity.
Mr.. Mcintyre has been appropri-
ately characterized the apostle of
hope and happiness. He has n
smile and a kind word for every body,
and probably no one individual has ban
ished more cases of the blues than he.
He is a lover of humanity, and incl

sunshine along the pathway of those
with whom he comes in contact, always
in quest of an opportunity to do good
turn for his fellow man. He is a
man who has always responded cheer

STREET CAR SMASHUP.
East Lake Gar Hit South Highland Gar
 at Crossing.

A serious accident was narrowly ayerted at the corner of First avenue and Twen- tieth street last night when South High lands electric car in charge of Motorman Ellidge on which a number of well-known South Highlanders were passengers, was run into by an East Lake car and knocked from the track.
 The accident happened at 7:45 o'clock and both cars stopped at the crossing as is re- quired by law. Each motorman supposing that the other would wait until he had crossed, turned on the current at the same time and both cars started for the crossing. Before either could be stopped the East Lake car struck the Highlands car full broadside, knocking it off the track, but luckily did not overturn it. Among the passengers on the South Highlands car was T. V. Boardman, Will and John Leedy. MT. and Mrs, Morris Adler and severa; other persons who were badly shaken up.
 Traffic was blocked for about thirty min utes until the derailed car could be gotten back on the track.
