AN ORDER TO PREVENT
SPREAD OF TEXAS FEVER

The Secretary Of the Department Of
Agriculture has issued an order clos
ing the open season for the shipment O.
Southern cattle to points north. except
for immediate slaughter. This Is to pre-
vent the spread Of Texas fever. a malady
prevalent with cattle in the Southern
States. and of little moment IN that sec,
ton.
In the North. however. the disease
proves serious. causing the death OF
many cattle. The disease is spread by
ticks. a small insect that buries itself
in the hides of cattle. The insects fall
30 the ground and then get on other
cattle in the herd. Cattle raised IN
Southern States become immune. In the
North. the ticks generate the fever,
which corresponds to the malaria fever
of man

THE WATER QUESTION.
AUGUSTA viii Vote "Yes."

(Ncw Ago.
Next Monday the citizens of Augusta
will vote on the following question:
Shall the act to incorporate the Augusta
Water district be accertcd?"
That the vote will be favorable by Il very
large majority We firmly believe. IN"
sentiment of the community is apparently
nearly I'll one way and that is in favor
of uIChasing the existing plant OF the
Augusta Water Co. and succeeding to all
its rights and franchise.
The powerful factor in bringing about
this unanimity of opinion on the part of
our citizens is the demand for an album
dant supply of pure water Whlch Augusta
does not now have in the kenncbcc river
water furnished by the Augusta Water
Company. The epidemic of typhoid fever
which ragged here last winter gave mmis-
taxable evidence Of that fact.
The matter of reduced rates may enter
into the subject but that is not the deter
mining feature. 1t IS pure water first.
The New Age is i'll entire accord with
the propositions 1t believes in the prin-
ciple that is involved, namely, the muni-
ciDal control of all public utilities.
Tho water district scheme is the OBJ
tanning of water on the cooperative plan.
The 2oo0 water takers of Augusta band
themselves together to get supply OF
pure water and divide the expense among
themselves pro rata with the amount used.
The water district cannot assess taxes. 50
that if a citizen does not take water he
has no part in the business any more than
he has now
It is business proposition, pure and sim
pie 1t means ahe purchase and control
of the water supply of the city of Angus
tn by its citizens and the selling of water
to themselves at cost.
At present the water system Is owned
by a corporation. and managed for the
benefit of its stockholders. Under the wa
ter district the system would be owned
by the people and managed for benefit OF
the water-takeIs.
In all cities and towns of which VIC
have any knowledge, where the water
works have been acquired by the muni-
cipality the result has been satisfactory
to the citizens.
Municipal ownership is not an expert.
.ment 1t has been tried III the most en-
terprising cities of the world and proved
to be Il success. Augusta is only keeping
up with the procession Vote YES

No Philippine Famine.

Let us hear less of this constant
croaking about the poverty stricken
Philippines. AS a matter of fact, the
prosperity of the islands as a whole
is more permanent than ever before.
And, on investigation, it will be found
that only those who are attempting to
do business on borrowed capital are
being pinched. Conditions in the
Philippines are now normal, and only
those who have ample capital of their
own can hope to stem the tide. There
Is no starvation and restitution in the
Philippine Islands. Hunger and want
are unknown here. The population is
so sparse and the prodigality of nature
so lavish that any man who goes hun
cry is too lazy TO gather what nature
supplies unbdden. We are not in
need of charity, and protest against
any man bruiting abroad anything to
the contrary."-Manila Trade Review.
The above is from the leading trade
paper of the Philippines, publication
that is strictly unofficial and without
any censorship. 1t is particularly well

special report to the President. The
cry Of famine" had been raised in re-
gard to the Philippines and it was
given color by General Miles report of
his observations. An inquiry by the
President brought from Governor Taft
a prompt denial that there is anything
approaching famine on the islands
or any need of charity from the
United States. He did not claim that
the islands are flowing with milk and
honey, but showed that prosperity and
plenty are pretty abundant. The trade
journal Above quoted speaks in even
stronger terms and will reassure the
political, commercial and philanthrOpic
world. The Philippines are getting on
nicely, and the few surviving "antis"
in this country are doing vastly more
fretting than the natives in the
islands.

The assertion made in the Water
Company's circular, that ownership
Of the water plant by the people
will not reduce water rates is best
answered by a comparison of the
rates charged in cities whose wa
ter systems are owned by private cor
porations with those charged in the
cities which own their own water
plants. These figures are given in a
communication published elsewhere in
this issue and will make very interest
ing reading for thoughtful citizens.
