City Does the Right Thing.

The Rock Island city council, at its
meeting last evening, did the right
thing in the matter of complying to
the fullest extent with the suggestions
made by the South Rock Island PEG
pie desiring annexation to the city of
Rock Island. The final concession,
that relating to water main extension
for fire protection, was made by unan-
imous vote of the council. The city
agreed to meet the requirements of
those interested in the project to join
a strip of the adjoining township to
the corporate limits of Rock Island,
and the action was received with en-
thusiasm by the representatives of the
South Rock Island people who were
present In its attitude in this respect
the council will receive the approba.
ton and commentator of the people
of Rock Island, Notwithstanding thai
the somewhat fardy action on this par
ticular concession has proven a hand
leap to the progressive citizens OF
South Rock Island who are endeavOr-
ing to secure a sufficient percentage
of the signatures of the interested
property holders to place the PROPOSE
ton for annexation on the ballot at
the forthcoming election.
In view of the advantages which the
people of the territory it is proposed
TO annex will gain. as set forth in de
tail in another column. the gain to be
made by affirmative action on the pa:
of those interested must appeal tC
those who consider it in all it's bear
ings. While it is not to be doubtet
that becoming part of the city vii
increase taxation to an extent, the re
turns in public cOnveniences, improve
ments and general advantages, and the
attendant enhancement in prOpert!
valuation will more than cOmpensat,
city property in a neighborhood reach
ed or served by permanent improve
ments affords a sufficient example o
this.
If the people of South Rock Islani
within the territory which cCntem

ness TO come into Rock Island, the,
will not only be welcomed with opel

Mason was in Freeport, and literally
.'let the cat out of the bag" in telling
what he knew of the political career
of the present incumbent, Senator Al

present senator had voted against the
amendment of Senator La Toilette to
compel the railroads to furnish an eX-
act. valuation of their properties, so
that shippers would not be compelled
to pay freight rates on watered stocks.
He graphically recited how Senator
Hopkins labored to defeat the Will OF
the people by arraying himself on the
side of the opponents of direct pri-
mary law: he pointed out how Hop
kins voted to seat Reed Smoot, the
Mormon apostle, in the United States

gresham Roberts out, although he
came accredited with the same kind of
