WATER QUESTION IN ROSWELL,
Valley Town Is Confronted With
Need for Increased supply.

(From Mondays Daily)
When n town leaves the station OF
a village and begins growing toward
a city, such questions as water sup
ply and sewerage straightway become
serious probleps-and the emphasis

proposition, In spite OF the mag
nificent artesian wells which supply
water freely for most OF the city, Ros-
we'll is finding that the spread of
her population and area has out
grown the capacity OF the artesian
well system and the board Of alder
men OF the valley city is now casting
about for a solution to the problem.
The Register-Trbune Gays of the
propositions now before the council:
THAT Roswell needs some kind OF
system of water works which will
afford adequate fire protection, no
one familiar with tho fact will deny
AT its last meeting, the city council
passed a resolution whereby Mr.. M
lis, OF Kansas City Light & Water
Works Co., will submit plans for a
system. The council will refuse or
accept this proposition just as It
pleases The question will have to
be decided by vote OF the people.
We have taken the matter up with
those most yitally interest, and will
publish their view OF the question
from time 10 time. Alderman A. l..
Whlteman, the only member Of the
council to vote against the resolution
passed at the last meeting, expresses
himself aboSlt as follows; 4 want to

II every reader of this newspaper
would say to the merchants with
whom he deals during this month that
he would appreciate seeing the firms
advertisements in the Statesman, If
every one would give the preference to
firms that do advertise with us, the
advertising of this newspaper would
increase MANIFOLD at once. Since the
financial success of any newspaper is
largely governed by the advertise
ments 1t carries. such a move on the
part of the public would at once re-
move this paper from any fear of
failure or even shortness OF funds. 1t
would lift us above any necessity OF
STOPPING to eke out an existence. The
paper would be free from political bias
that is dictated by self interest. The
race would have made us strong to
fight consistently for race interest.
In making these observations we mean
TO Illustrate by our own paper con-
dition that is general. The race press
is weak not because II has not brains
behind II or because it Is venal. but
because the people whom it speaks
for. do not intelligently work to
strengthen 1t. Tell the next white
merchant you patronize that since he
will not hire colored clerks, he might
at least seek colored trade through
race papers. Go further than this.
Look in the columns Of the race press;
patronize the merchants whose cards
you see there; tell them why you pat
sronize them This Is seed sowing in
