COUNCIL SHOULD
NOT Be HASTy
Same Course as in Consideration OF
Specifications is Proper Re-
garding the Bids
FOR THE FILTER PLANT
Methods of Some of Contractors Rep
resentatives Bring Out Express
ions of OisapprovaI.

Since the first discussion of the fl
ter project, The Argus, in common
with the public generally. has urged
that whatever the council does, it
ceed cautiously and deliberately This
advice, up TO now, has been followed
to a reasonable degree, but it seems
particularly proper in view of the
opening of the bids Monday night, 10
again urge this course and particularly
since some of the bidders whose rep
resentatives are here seem solicitous
that the contract be speedily awarded.
The action of some OF the represent
tatives who are already on the ground
and Camped in Davenport has brought
out a discussion and general disap-
proval of such n course. There caa
be no occasion now for rushing the
filter project through.
No Need for Haste.
The council should follow the same
course in connection with the bids as
was followed regarding the speciiica-
tions. and ample time given the public
to become familiar with the situation
as it develops. There should be no
haste to get the contract awarded,
and no reason why any of the alder
men need be worked" by any OF those
who would like to install the filter It
should be remembered that the filter
plant is not to be purchased for the
mere sake of buying a filter, as was
the case in the last pump purchase
by the city, but because it is believed
that a filter plant is needed.
1t is not up to the council 10 make
haste. but to act solely with the idea
of serving the best interests of the
city, and giving to Rock Island as good
4 filter plant as can be secured and
at a reasonable cost
The Lighting Contract.
In this connection it should be ra-
membered that the city is considering
a new lighting contract and in this,
too, plenty of time should be taken.
and a contract as advantageous as
possible for the city should be secured.
As heretofore suggested, the terms
should be the same for Rock Island
and Moline.

Jonas Bear, candidate for alderman

one pounced upon. There was good
deal of curiosity as to how he would

Il am afraid the new editor of the
Hattiesburg News, for whom you ex-
pressed great admiration last week,
will be called a 'knocker' by some
of the 'enterprising' patriots of that
town.
1.-THE new editor declares for strict
enforcement of the laws, more espec-
tally regarding the shady sale OF
whisl1ey in high places or low places,
in 'bootlegs' or palaces
"Such a stand as that, you know,
is considered almost a crime by some
people, especially weak or corrupt Of
ficials, who are ever and eternally
playing the public for any and every
thing in sight. This class of public
servants abhor the truth, and have
no use for those who stand by the
record.
ut is not necessary for me to re-
mind the new editor of the Hatties-
burg News that many 'enterprising'
brethren call those who tell the truth
Knockers AS a matter of fact the
worst Knockers in any community
are those DULLES who stand for the
doctrine that any old thing and any
old way will do if there is money in
it, These are the fellows who
wink at evasions of the law and
wink at all kinds of public abuses
and wink at the debauchery of the
poor and ignorant They stand for
the wise guy code-'You tickle me

Eighteen Crap Shooters Captured BY
Hattiesbure Officers at McCaIIum
Saturday Night.

Deputy Sheriff D. G. McGilvray, to-

made a trip down to McCallum Sat
urday night and succeeded in sur
prising eighteen sons of Ham in the
midst of an interesting and fascinating
game of bones"
Mr.. McGilvray went to McCallum
upon the request Of a citizen of that
place who stated in his communication
that he had been annoyed by the
presence of a gang of idle negroes
who had interferred with his laborers,
and Saturday being payday at the
Toomer mill, the deputy concluded
that this would be an opportune time
to make his investigations, as the
usual crowd of FOUNDERS would likely
be on hand.
The success of the venture is indi-
Gated by the above facts, and Nc
Callum citizens may now enjoy a
period of relief from the presence of
this class of Objectionable characters.
