THE WATER INVESTIGATION. -
Some Things That Everybody Already Know
Has Been Proven.

The Water Investigating" Committee
held it's first session in the Mayors Office
last night from to 10 o'clock
All the members of the committee, in
Guiding the Water Company's attorney,
Mr.. Ernest Haywood. were present The
committee consists of c. c. Mcdonald, II.
H. Crocker J. S. Correll and w. L. Wat.
son.
The following witnesses were examined
by Mr.. Watson and Mr.. Haywood Fire
Chief L. A. Mailer, Assistant Chief
Walter Woollcott, Nozzlemen r. B. Little,
W. Capers White, S. p. Pennington and
Lonnie II. Lumsden.
The testimony of all Of them was 10
the same effect, namely:
/. That at the fire February 2Sth
the water pressure was insufficient.
2 That with an adequate water supply
all the buildings except the warehouse
could have been saved
8 That the failure to get the requisite
pressure was the fault of the Water CoIn-
pany and not of the fremen or their APP
paratus
OF course all these things were known
TO the people of Raleigh before-certainly
to all who saw the fire-but it was neces-
sary to bring them out as basis for the
real investigation for which the commit
tee was appointed.
Now let's know why that insufficiency
of pressure!
The next meeting of the committee will
be held next Friday night at o'clock
at which time the Water Company is to
be heard from.

WOULD BUNCo THE FARMER.

The final efforts of the trusts to fool
the farmers into voting the prosper
ity" ticket are looked for in boom of
prices for wheat, oats, corn, cattle,
hogs, sheep and other farm products
on the eve of the election.
The trusts are in control of the
markets and if they choose to, push
up prices few notches for campaign
effect they will have no difficulty in
doing it.
And of course if they can push up
prices before election they can push
them down again after election.
viii they fail to do it?
Well, hardly.
1t is their game to fool the farmers
just now when Mckinley so urgently
and desperately needs their votes.
After Nov. 6 they will recoup them
selves and punish the farmers for
their folly by smashing prices and
putting the screws tighter than ever
upon the markets.
Democrats should be alive to these
important points and farmers ought
to be warned against this trust bunco
game.

The presidents proclamation claim
ing sovereignty and ordering Otis to
enforce it had been made public.
Aguinaldo had met it by counter
proclamation declaring that if there
were any attack made upon the
VIsayas he and his people would
fight. The words Justice,
freedom, righteousness seemed to be
disappearing from our vocabulary
Then, after the capture of Manila.
when Gen. Otis bad declared that not
more than 5000 soldiers would be
necessary to keep the peace in that
entire archipelago of 1900 islands,
they saw we were hurrying over re-
Inducements and increasing our naval
and our military strength. Then
came the tone of demand and of
authority. Our generals were de-
manding with uncencealed threats
the contraction of their lines and the
expansion of ours-Mr. Hoar.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1900-10-31

Our title is good. Our peace COM
missioners believed they were receiy-
ing a good title when they concluded
the treaty. The executive believed
it was a good title when he submitted
it to the senate of the United States
for it's ratification. The senate be-
lieved it was a good title when they
gave it their constitutional assent,
and the congress seems not to have
doubted it's completeness when they
appropriated 500, 900, 900 provided by
the treaty. If any one who favored its
ratification believed it gave us bad
title they were not sincere. Our title
is practically identical with that un-
der which we hold our territory ac-
quired since the beginning of The
and under which we have
exercised full sovereignty and estab-
lished government for the inhabit-
Mckinley.

WHO is RESPONSIBLE FOR BLOODsHED?

If We had dealt with them in the
treaty of peace as we dealt with
Cuba, there would have been no
war.
If we had not hurried reinforce.
ments to Manila. both of ships and of
men, strengthening the forces of our
army and navy there after Spain had
yielded, there would have been no
war.
If the urgent request of Aguinaldo,
after the outbreak of the 9Th of Feb
ruary, that hostilities might cease
had not been met by the declaration
of Otis that lighting must go on"
there would have been no war.
If Aguinaldo's offer to withdraw his
troops and make a wider belt between
the two armies had been met in a like
spirit, there would have been no war
If senator's had not been talking about
holding on to all they could get, about
making money out of their great act
of liberation, about keeping from the
people of these islands their liberty
and their independence, for purposes
of gains and trade, there would have
been no war.-Mr. Hoar.
