you get pure water?
If this bond issue fails, do you want another
commission, another recommendation, another
system and another bond election? If you do, what
scheme will Mr. Ogden and Mr.. fancy then pro-
pose? What have they done to- secure you pure
water since the last bond issue was defeated7 49,
Wheeling cheerfully paid 100000 in one
year to the United States Government for income
taxes. Wheeling is asked to pay s., 100000 in 81
years to furnish water to $4,000 men, women and
children. Aren't they worth it?
In 19l6-17-1S forty EIGHT people died of typhoid
fever and 391 contracted the disease. Are those
who died worth the money for filtration plant to
their friends and relatives and the community, or
are they not7
If your wife, or your son, or your daughter dies
of typhoid fever would you give 81 60O0O to have
them back again? Suppose you die! How would
you feel?
Can we afford to trifIe with a situation of this
kind and discuss the pros and cons of it, whether
the cost is little too much or not; whether this
system or that is best; whether we should move
the pumping station or not, when committee Of
fellow citizens in whom we have confidence has
investigated the whole situation and made its
recommendation?
There are 100000 people in the q. S. A.
drinking water furnished by systems similar to
that recommended for Wheeling. Isn't that good
enough for us2

Poles Would Demand
More Concessions, Too

Again, if Italy is permitted as a
consequence of the present fight to
hold permanently Dalmatia and Fiume
without international restrictions, or
the league of nations conditions, the
whole French nation is likely to feel
that its possession of the Saar coal
region should not be subjected to all
the limitations of war breeding con-
ditions which have been imposed.
Even more emphatic will be the out
burst in Poland, and the Polish peo~
pie will demand for themselves that
possession of Danzig, which is matter
of life and death to them, on terms
under which Italy has obtained and
holds possession of Fiume and of
Dalmatia, which are, after ALL rela-
lively minor circumstances in Italian
geography, military or economic.
~ Q have had in the last five months
shock after shock between Mr.. Wilson's
conceptions of peace under the league
of nations and the European conception
Of peace, based upon historical tradi-
tions and geographical conditions. The
result SO far has been a series of COM
promises, each one of which has Gre
ated situation which could survive
permanently provided only that all the
world accepted with equal good faith
the doctrine of the league of nations
