The Coming PresidentiaI Message.

antitrust legislation which the presi-

gress.
The distinguished Illinois states
man, Senator CuIlom, is understood
to have been selected to offer an ON
nibus amendment to the Sherman an
THRUST act on the very first day of
the session. Following the lines
marked out in Attorney General
KnoX's Pittsburg speech, it is fore
Swallowed that this amendment will
provide against the levyiDg of dis
eliminating freights by railroads
the foundation injustice on which
many of the dad trusts are built.
1t is also expected to provide new bar
riers against the consolidation of
competing railroad lines, and also for
the prevention of combinations to
control fuel, clothing and products.
The Washington special states fur
Their that the presidents message will
recommend an immediate 'readjust-
ment of tariff rates so as to equalize
the benefits derived from protection,
and the ratification of the pending
reciprocity treaties with all ma
tions." This latter step the president
is understood to believe is all that
should be undertaken in the way of
tariff reduction at present and until
his tariff commission has investigated
the whole subject and reported.

Another Sample of Davenport Spite

Here is another sample of the
neighborly good feeling of the Daven-
port press toward Rock Island, as
shown by that city's leading evening
paper:
'Rock Island is fearful of another
epidemic of typhoid fever. Her water
works, on which she has spent more
money in proportion to what she has
got than any other city in the coun-
try, is not giving her pure water.
The antiquated and obsolete process
and apparatus that she insists on
using will not give her the quality
of purified water that she needs, and
when she gets it it is not pure water.
But she will continue to spend money
for clap-trap devices that never did
and never will work, rather than put
in filter. We have a filter in this
city; not a disease breeder"
The reference thus made to con-
ditions existing in Rock Island is not
only misleading and false, but is at
tended by a characteristic spiteful
spirit for which there is no excuse
whatever. To begin with, Rock ISL
and has no fear of a typhoid fever
epidemic, and the Davenport papers
may be deprived of a source of gloat-
ing on this account.
In another respect the water works
plant in this city is pronounced to-
day ,one of the best in the country,
and instead of being Anticipated and
obsolete is modern in every particu-
lar, embracing a system of filtration
that is, acknowledged TO be the most
practical and successful. While
through an unavoidable circumstance
the city was shamefully imposed upon
in the original outlay for the con-
struction of the reservoir plant, no
one now begrudges the money that
has has been put into the enterprise
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1902-11-22

The cause of the unusual existence
of typhoid two years ago was not
due to the filter, but to an Imperfect
ton in an intake pipe that Davenport
or any other city might ut any time
experience.
Davenport may have the benefits
of good filtering system. Rock ISL
and is glad if such is the case. but if
that plant is all that it is cracked up to
be. it is because it comes through pri-
vate enterprise, and is not provided
through the liberality and public
spirit of the municipality. Davenport
is not so much interested in the cendi-
ton of the water supply as TO go in
too deeply.
However, Rock Island harbors no
i'll will towards its sister city, and in
return for the pleasant comments
that have been INDUCED in by the
papers over there extends its con-
gratulatiOns, accompanied by the hope
that there may be a more appreci-
able enjoyment of the precious boon
on the part of that town, and that
with the consequent revelation of
publication may be the total disap-
pearance of what still turks in the
columns of its papers of the old time

John Mitchell as Leader of Right.

The steady rise of John Mitchell in
the esteem of all good citizens of the
United States and of many foreign
lands is a triumph, not for organized
labor alone. but for much that is best
in modern conceptions of social econ
omy and law.
Whatever may be the outcome of
the strike situation, n monumental
victory has been won for the rights
of labor and for the right of the pub
lie in all controversies that involve
public commodities. The anthracite
strike, under MitchelfS wise manage
ment. has made history and it has
made law Whether congress shall
see fit to enact compulsory arbitr2-
ton act or not, the precedent must
nevertheless remain, and no party to
great strike can in the future re-
fuse to consent to this same peaceful
and Just form of settlement without
confessing distrust in the justice of
its cause.
The public has learned to demand
| the right to be at peace, and, now
that one of the most powerful of
trusts has been forced to concede
that right. the demand hereafter will
be made more confidently, more in
sistently, more irresistibly than ever
| before.
The hero in this momentous revo-
| luton is John Mitchell. n plain man
of the people, but leader of leaders.
Mitchell is Il true type of the best
American. In his stanch character
are embraced many of the high quail
tiles that the people of this country
most admire. lie is true metal clean
through.
| In his whole weeks battle, single
handed, with the dozen best law
yers that the trusts could hire, he
has proven how invincible is assur-
ance of right, sincerity of purpose
and thoroughness of knowledge, even
against the sharpest wits and the
| most subtle trickeries. Amidst al
of the skillfulIy conducted cross ex
aminations and the insidious inuen-
dos, he has remained master of him.
