Buys Well for $3,ooO.-East Moline
is assured of its waterworks plant
Tuesday night at a meeting OF the city
council, as a committee of the whole,
it was decided to purchase the artesian
well in the city, also a twO-acre tract
of land on the bluff upon which to
place the standpipe. The cost of the
well and the land is in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, and the deal will be
closed as soon as possible. The ar
teSian well is located on Ninth street,
just off of First avenue, and is said to
be the very finest of water. At present
it is owned by the East Moline Land
company, but this concern will sell it to
the city. 1t is a flowing well, and
thousands of gallons of water go TO
waste each week The tract of land
on the bluff is just east of the John
Deere school house. On this will be
placed the standpipe which will fur
nish water to all parts of the city. The
chief Waterman will be laid up Ninth
street to this pipe, and will be of sufii-
cient proportions to take care of all of
the water. A pumping station will be
erected on the ground where the well
is located. This will force the water
up to the standpipe, which will supply
the water with sufficient force about
the city. In case of fire the pumps can
be used to increase the water force.
Plans and specifications will be asked
for by the city council and these will
be acted upon. 1t is the intention to
begin this fall to construct the plant
and it is hoped to get quite an amount
of water mains laid before heavy frost

IN DISFAVOR.

The writ of injunction is growing into
disfavor, not TO say contempt, and it Is
not surprising since corporations and
individuals appeal to the Federal courts
to stifie issues and questions in law
which should be first considered in
the State in which the corporation or
individual operate.
There are instances which. however.
are rare. when writ of injunction
through a Federal court is imperative,
but this writ was never designed TO be
used to nullify the laws of a State. I'm
fortunately there are judges of Federal
courts who respond too eagerly to de-
mands for the issue of writs of injunc
ton, and apparently some of the most
jealous are Southern men, the APP
pointees Of President Roosevelt.
The readiness with which these writs
are obtained in Federal courts, especial
y in the States of the South. mist lead
to the modification of the law, or the
system, which makes possible these
writs which are arbitrary, unfair and
frequeatly ruinous to interests which
may be protected under the laws of each
State.
As the authority and power of these
Federal courts and judges are derived
from Congress, presumably the represen-
tatives Of the people, it is within the
province Of Congress to amend the law
80 as to FIX restrictions through which
shall be conserved every interest of
every individual fairly. It is in the
power Of Congress to abridge and to re-
peal the law creating these Federal
courts and the power of the Federal
judges.
