An Interesting Editorial
From Any Point of View.
The Daily Item On Our Naval Station
With Few Side Comments.

has all needed public utilities with the
exception of telegraph offices and it is
our belief that with the present and
continued efforts of our contemporary,
The Algiers Herald, this section will
eventually obtain what it needs in the
way of telegraph facilities. 1t is alb
Surb that it should not have these IA
cilities to-day.
In the larger matter of the navy
yard We will find important changes
result from the incoming of the next
political administration. The Demo-
Gratis and Progressives will undoubted-
ly control both houses of congress by
overwhelming majority. Members of
both parties are committed to an i'm
partial and intelligent policy as re-
lates to the development of our Sec
ton of the country.
We in New Orleans must cooperate
with our friends in Algiers in the mat
ter of interesting the Mississippi val.
ley in the passage of the Newlands
bill. That bill will provide for trans
ferring the equipment of the Panama
canal to needed work on the Missis-
sippi river. 1t provides for the storing
of flood waters in the upper Mississip-
pi valley, for the federal control of our
levees in the lower Mississippi and for
such control of the river as will for
ever prevent disastrous floods.
We in New Orleans must work with
our United States senators, with our
delegations in congress, and must
work through our governor and our
legislature. We must reach out and
command the support of our neighbor-
ing state of Mississippi. We must get
Mississippi to join with us in interest
ing the states higher up the river, and
We must get these states to work on
other states.
OF course, it is a far cry from Pro-
gressive Union luncheons at which
speeches are made by the members of
the Algiers Improvement Association
to congress of the United States, in
matter that involves the expenditure
of five hundred millions of dollars
more money than is being spent to
dig the Panama canal.
1t is a far cry also from starting life
as an orphan boy, without friends or
assistance, to become three times may
or of the largest city in the South.
But Algiers turned this little trick.
The people of Algiers can take in
SEPARATION from this fact; they are
mighty good politicians and if they
will use their best endeavors to enlist
the aid of all the influences that can
work for them and cooperate with
them, their side of the river will one
day become greater, richer and more
than is all of New Orleans
to-day"

"HoW ALGIERS WILL GET WHAT
IT NEEDS"

The Progressive Union on Wednes-
day entertained the officers and direc-
tors of the Algiers improvement Asso-
citation at a luncheon. The problem
of the local navy yard was discussed
at this time.
We would like to see a luncheon
given by the Progressive Union to ev-
cry improvement association in every
ward in the city. Instead of the off,
GERS and directors of this commercial
body talking to these associations, We
would like to see the officers and di-
rectors of the various associations talk
to the officers and members of the
Progressive Union. In this fashion To-
cal pride would be stimulated, local
interests would be better looked after,
for We would have the Progressive
Union acting from real local knowl-
edge.
The world goes on the theory that a
man does not want anything very
much if he is not willing to make his
wants known so insistentiy that they
will be understood. 1t also goes on
the theory that it is not possible to
help people who are not willing to help
themselves.
Algiers, of course, is ward of the
city. With the passing of the old ward
bossism of councilmanic representa-
ton, Algiers becomes even a closer
part of the city. 1t will be well rep
resented in the new commission coun-
Gil, because Mayor Behrman, who
comes from Algiers, has kept the in
terests of that section well in mind,
and has pushed it's interests to the
fullest extent of his ability. He has
been loyal and serviceable to the peo-
pie whose personal political friend
ship gave him his start along the road
way of political success.
The slow progress of the immigra-
ton station work and the failure of
the navy yard to open for work are
factors that have considerably held
back the progress of Algiers.
To our way of thinking two things
are vitality necessary to the future
prosperity of Algiers. One is the
drainage of the swamps back of the
town. New Orleans is bad enough in
this regard and Algiers is worse We
are pleased to know that there is
movement afoot for the reclamation
of the wet lands back in this section of
our city, and that this work bids fair
to be completed in reasonably short
time. When this is done, Algiers will
be one of the best residence sections
of New Orleans for people of moderate
means. 1t is far better paved to-day
than are most sections of our city. It

He was Eccentric.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: G. H
Reinicker, wealthy resident OF
Webster City, is dead. The man
was considered eccentric. 1t is stat
ed that he made many gifts to So
cieties and churches, which added
the poor. He had a list of needy
families, which he always looked
after in winter. He was so unos-
tentatious about this, however, that
few knew of it. Now, If that con-
stitutes eccentricity. what a bless
ing it would be if all who have very
much became eccentric. There was
a rich man, who undoubtedly got
much real pleasure out of his
wealth. Many there are who achieve
riches only to find that they will
buy very few of the things really
worth having and perhaps none of
the things that they happen to
crave,

WANT some
INFORMATION
Would Like to Know What the FL
nancial Condition of the
City is at Present.

The Freeman-Tribune has heard
more or less discussion of the prop
osition to bond the town for $10,-
900 for the purpose of securing
money with which to build new
fire house. 1t is generally admitted
that we need such an improvement
and need it badly and public senti-
ment will probably sustain the bond
proposition if the financial situation
will warrant It, Some are contend
ing that the city is now up to the
limit of Indebtedness, while others
say that If the bonds carry at a
special election they can be floated
in some way. The voters would like
to know the exact situation and the
Freeman Tribune would be glad to
furnish them the desired informa-
ton by publishing a report author
lied by the council setting forth the
exact financial standing of the city.

CHILD RUN OVER
BY. AUTOMOBILE
Two Year Old Son Of Percy Parks
Runs Into Car and has a very
e Narrow Escape.

Channer Parks, the small son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Percy Parks, was run
over by an automobile Friday ev-
ening near the family home on West
Second street. The child ran out
into the street and suddenly seeing
the car became confused in the at
tempt to get out of the way. It is
claimed he turned and ran straight
toward the car and was therefore
unavoidably thrown down and run
over. A doctor was called immed-
lately and remained with the child
until late that evening. No bones
were broken but it was feared at
first that the boy might be serious
ly injured internally. However, next
morning he is up and around again
and seems to be none the worse for
the experience.
Mr.. and Mrs. Killing and daught-
er Of Fort Dodge were in the auto
which ran into the boy. The car
was going slowly and the driver in
his attempt to miss the lad ran the
car into the curb. They at once
picked the boy up and went to his
home with him, where they remain
ed until some time after the doctor
arrived and examined the boy. They
also telephoned over to find out how
he was getting along after they had
arrived at their home in Fort Dodge
Friday night. The occupants of
the car were badly scared over the
accident.

The City Heat Proposition.

The old heating station house at
the north end of Superior street is
being torn down and will give place
to a new one that will be much
smaller, providing the city heat sys-
tenn is continued At present the
matter of the city furnishing heat
to its patrons Is a bothersome ques-
ton. There are not many of the
users who are willing to pay the
price now charged. 1t is probable
that at the next meeting of the
council the heating proposition for
next winter will be taken up for
consideration, and a decision one
way or the other will no doubt soon
be made.

More Electroliers.

City Superintendent Mullins says
there Is talk of securing electroliers
for two more blocks on Second street
the block in which the city hall is
located and that in which The WILL
son is located. The electroliers are
big improvement and the addition
of two more blocks of them would
make Second street brilliantly
lighted and beautiful thoroughfare
during the night time. The busl-
ness men on Des Moines street agi-
tated this matter some last season
and it was hoped they would also
install them on that street.
