The Filter Plant.

The city council. after having appar-
emily determined to its own satisfac-
ton, in accordance with the recon-
mendation of the superintendent of
waterworks, J. w. Cavanaugh, that a
direct filter plant at the waterworks
has become essential to the public
health, now seems to be in quandary
as to whether or not the question of
making the investment should have
the sanction of the people at an cleo
ton. In other words, the council is
not satisfied in its own mind as to
whether it should take the initiative
or pass the matter on to the voters
Alderman Smiths resolution present
ed last night was submitted with a
view of getting light upon this point.
While the privilege of referendum is
as a rule a laudable method of safe
guarding the public against misinter
probation of sentiment by legislative
body and one against which nobody:
voice is likely TO be raised, it is now
| for the council itself to decide whether
the case in point involves elements
that render it advisable to establish
such precedent.
| The members of the council ought tC
know for themselves just how urgent
lis the need of mechanical filtel
plant at this time.
AS general rule the people of Rocl
Island have not been disposed to take
Exception to liberal appropriations TO
Ipublic improvements, still less 70
those that are vital 10 the public wei
fare.
1t should be said, however, that thu
people are not as a whole satisfied
with the last waterworks purchase
which has become generally known a
the pump DEAL" where the proceedin!
was cut and dried and was put through
in such a violent manner that som
of the aldermen came near losin
their arms, etc. 1t is still question
whether the city got its moneys wort
in this transaction.
The pending matter, in short, seem
! to be one that the council is in a be
: ter position to act intelligently upo
than the people as a whole. The put
lie has not had the opportunity t
make the matter the study that tn
aldermen have had.
) The council ought to know best an
: with the warning of public disfavo
with which the pump DEAF was r.
, ceived the present administratio
f ought to be in position to purchase an
, install a mechanical filter in a fairl
: satisfactory manner.

titude toward the reasonable restric-
World asks, what does this plank of
the republican platform of 1908
mean
I'VE declare once more and with
|out reservation for the enforcement of
the spirit and letter of the 10, Ia and
rs amendments to the constitution,
which were designed for the protec-
ton and advancement of the negro,
and we condemn all devices that have
for their real aim his disfranchise-
ment for reasons of color alone as I'M
flair, un-American and repugnant to the
supreme law of the land
Mr.. Roosevelt on October 81 last,
wrote to the president of the Virginia
Bar association:
Il do not believe that there is sim
gle individual of any consequence who
seriously dreams of cutting down
southern representation, and should
have no hesitation in stating any
where and at any time that as long
as the election laws are constitution
Tally enforced without discrimination as
to color, the fear that southern repre-
sentation in congress will be cut down
/ is both idle and absurd
Yet the republican national platform
| of 1904 declared:
"We favor such congressional action
as shall determine whether by speciai
Determinations the elective franchise
in any state has been unconstitution'
ally limited, and, if such is the case
we demand that representation in con.
gress and in the electoral college shall
be proportionately reduced, as directed
| by the constitution of the United
States
The virtual reputation of the repub
lican platform declarations of 1904 and
1908 by the president and the presi
dent-elect raises an interesting ques
ton of party honesty.
Were these planks embodied in the
platforms merely to humbug the negro
voters in the north?

rare. OF course, comparatively few
reach the highest rounds of the lad,
der; but there are many desirable
lower rounds which are attainable
through merit and fidelity.
There is not a particle of doubt
that this rule is going to hold good in
the future, and young men, who are be
ginning their business careers should
shape their course accordingly. The
keen, searching eyes of the big-brained
men at the head of the great corpora
| lions and business houses are always
on the watch for the right men fol
promotion. They take account OF
character, of habits, of industry, and
fidelity. They demand results, and
they choose for advancement the men
who may be trusted and who bring
things to pass"

we can forgive each other without
anything so unnecessary as that" said

clared.
At that moment Pietro vincenzo
Riga, overcome with premonitory
fears, approached. nearly touching the
ground with his forehead, so low were
his bows. His gestures were rapid
and expressive, his face picture Of
woe.
"Not-a my fault! Not-a my fault"

upturned In depreciation.

girl back to the trap.
1t was only when the trap started

ample in the business world of Ameri-
ca of the opportunities open to men
who begin life at the foot of the lad

was born in Herkimer county, New
York, in 1853, and his first position on
railroad was that of a wood corder

Telegraph operator; in 1872 dispatcher

he was chosen general manager of the
Lake Shore &c Michigan Southern, and
now has become president of the great
New York Central system.
