ALDERMEN SHOULD KILL BOND
I68UE PROPOSITION.
Common sense, that rare and most
Taluable quality sometimes given I"
man, should prevent the city count il
from plunging headlong Into a prop?
osition Involving a million dollar bond
Issue. Even If Newport News wen? in
'.a, position to support such an euor
wnus addition to Its bonded Indebt
cdnewt; even If It were proposed to
spend the proceeds of the bond issue
lu *x>nui way unanimously and thor
oughly npprovetl of by the people, a
step toward tho borrowing and In?
vesting of a million dollars should I"'
long contemplated bdfore taken.
Tonight tho board of aldermen
Will be called on to pass upon a
resolution directing the fire depart?
ment and water committee to In?
quire Into the question of whether
or not It Is advisable and fen Ible i->r
tho city to own water Works, and, In
th* ovoat Investigation results in ah
affirmative answer to the question, to
havo presented In the legislature a
.bill nuthortr-ing thin city to Issue
bonds for $1.000,000 tor the purpose
of establishing a system of water
works, or for Investment In any
other puhlio utility. This resolution was
adopted by the common council last
week, it having been offered ns a
fubstltute for ft svnillar resolution In
which tho amount of tho proposed
bond Issue was $100,000. The alder?
men had adopted the original i evo?
lution, which was offerod by Mr.
Walker with the expressed intention
of having considered by the council
tiv? purchnso of certain ponds In the
vicinity of WUHamsburg.
Mr. Walker's resolution could never
havo passed I he aldermen had It
not been for the fact that certain
members believed that they we'e
wielding ft club over the head of the
Newport News Light & Water Com?
pany In ousting an affirmative vote.
Tthrce out of the eight, aldermen
voted ag.i!n;;t the resolution, and at
bust one or two of the ftvo who
?noted "nyo" did tu with the thought
-that.while the movement would never
really amount to anything, It prob?
ably would have the effect of bring?
ing down the water rate.', a ttitle. Thla
Idea'probably had a great deal to do
?with the. nnjority by which Mr.
ICetehum's substitute was adopted by
tho lower blanch.
? Probably It does no narm to wave
rtiolc aT a water comi>any or other
ilbllc service corporation now and
but It is another thing when
people begin to talk seriously about
attempting 10 Issue bonds for ? mil?
lion dollars. While The Dally P ess
not In the least inclined toward
posaliulsm. it kiiowa very well that
>}erwport News cannot stand stich n
ond imue, and the paper Is Inclined
thv belief that an)thing like ecri
mi talk on the .subject tends to In?
jure the city In the eyes of outside
Investors and money sources. At
thin tlpxe the bonded indebtedness of
tho city is about $600.000. and If $1,
000.000 fhoutd be added to Oiks we
Voti'd bo just about to the limit nl
''JJcvcd by law. No municipality is
painittte.d to issue bond* -for more
titan 1? l>or coat, of the assessed val
nation of Us real estate, and linaii
rlal authorities any it Is extremely
unwise. If not dangerous, for litis
limit lo be approached.
Municipal ownership under some
very favorable clrcums't-inees lias
proven successful. As a general prop?
osition, however, It Is n thing to bo
avoided, and under ?11 circumstances
it Is o thing lo be gone into With tli ?
greatest del'berntlou nnd one. If a
cliy mus: own some utility, possibly a
water works systcui is the best, for
after Water works hftVO been put lu
operation, a comparatively smllll
number of employes U required, and
consequently tie opportunities for
gran nud political trlcke.y Is dimm?
ish d. When a city Is situated ns
Newport News Is, however. The Daily
l'r< ss, believes that even a water
works system Is not a desirable |ios
ser.slou. especially when the mean:
that must be adopted for securing it
are considered.
Couttclhnen who voted tor the
resolution Claim that their action
means nothing -that the Committee
innst net; that if the proposed bill
is pissed by the legislature the bond
Issue inlet tlon must bo passed U|hui
by the people aud again by the coun?
cil. To n certain extont this nrgu
bli n la n giKid one. but It must be
remembered that the committee re
purled favorably iiikui the original
resolution; that ihe proposed bill
woel i go to the legislature with tho
roen-ll's rpqtiefct for Its passage, and
(in! Iho patisngp of the resolution by
both branches of the council Indicates
ti the people that the council fnivo**
he lK;nrt Insu?1?and th?? people have
a habit of trusting municipal ques?
tions to the Judgment of the men
Whom they elect to represent, them.
The Dally Press hop*3B and. trusts
tint the resolution will be killed by
ho nldermon, and would view a tln.il
adoption of the measure as a public
c ilautlty.
If the Newport News Light K. Wa?
ter Company is luriKising an Unrea?
sonably high r:ite upon the public,
then steps should be Laken toward
compelling that corporation to glvo
prop *r ratea. Th? city attorney
sb mid paew upon the nature of such
steps, u a, ftlck Is needed, then
it might be remembered that the
corporation mentioned baa never se?
cured a Panellist) from the city of
Newport Mows, but Is opera Mug its j
business and using the city's streets
under a charter granted by the legis?
lature IS years ago. nix years, before.
Newport News was Incorporated.
Thin fact, while it may amount lo
nothing. If properly handled i*>r>slbly
con!,i bo developed Into a pretty
heavy club.
One thing |s certain. Two water
companies cannot live in Newport
New. no matter bow many may bo
supported by communities differently
rO vated.
If by any mischance this million
dollar Is-Hid Issue Should become a
reality, the city would be obliged to
have a revenue from the money Im
mcdlitely. for 156,000 a year spent In
Interest on bonds would hlhko such n
hole In our finances ihu It would be
Impossible to conduct the government:
Many other things could be said on
this subject, but further discussion
seems useless. \ majority of the
members of both branches of the
council are men of intelligence, aud
this paper prefers to lielie.ve that they
will dp nothing foolhardy when they
have had time lor deliberation.

BRYAN'S SUPPORT OF PARKE?.
Interrogated In New York Tueada1
as to the refusal of ninny of hi.
friends to support the Democrat'.!
ticket In 1904, Mr. Bryan replied:
"A great ninny people failed to vo'.e
for Parker, and I have not had HmV!
to communicate with them personalty,
and see why. But I did what I could
to secure votes for him. and he not ;
only appreciated my Borvlco" during
the campaign, but he called on mil
the Oral time I was here after the.
campaign and Ibid me bo. I was ?>;)
pis.-d to his nomination for reason*!
which I gave, but when he was iioiu-j
lu.it.-d I did nil In my power to s -
cure bin election."
Mr. Bryan need not warte any time
C?tpmUutrmtlng with the**- people per?
sonally. Everybody knows why they
"failed to vote for Parker." Never
wni the measure of a candidate and
bin cauw taken more quickly or more
accurately? by the rank and tile th in
In that case. In a few weeks after
tin- adjournment or the St. Louis con?
vention the Rrynnltes could see what
was on the cards, an,I many of them
resolved upou th< lr course, They de?
termined not to asidst In a campaign
which. If successful, would Install !u
the White Home a man beloved of
Wall street, and who in his high oflhv
would be expected to play Wall
street's game. And so tin y either
voted for Roosevelt, or refused to vote
at all. Judge Parker's defeat was
most welcome to them.
Mr. Bryan, as he declares, did his
best for. the ticket. He was the star
of the company of Democratic stump
ers. and w-as whirled from state I
Stale and from town to town on spe?
cial trains. Great crowds heard him
and cheated him. but. after paying hliil
that personal compliment, his friend.,
returned home r.ud Ignored his ad?
vice.
But Judge Parker, it seems, was
appreciative of Mr. Bryan's services,
and thanked him for them In person.
This does not consist with Judge Par?
ker's recent arraignment of Mr. Hrv
an as a sower of dragon's teeth. But
tho latter has the advantage in the
controversy. All that Mr. Bryan said
and did In th? campaign was prompt?
ly chronicled, and It Is but fair to
him to say that dragon's teeth were
as .scarce a.* hen's teeth In his per?
fonuance-.
If he cared. Mr. Bryan might In?
quire o( -his eastern critics In this
matter bow many of them i. xpeeted
Judge Parker to h(^ elected. What
really were their efforts to make him
President? Did they t-o-.v any drng
Oli'8 teeth? Was not their support of
the ticket, of that BUKplelously luke?
warm nature which told against It?
When Wall street magnates and, their
attorn' ya practically took ? hargo of

and dominate:! n?mor"nt|c national
headquarters, what cban.ee was there

for bis enlisting in (he marine coriisi
wan itint lie hoped some day by good
conduct to secure a commission. Fori
some reason or other Penbody con-!
i.'olved a dislike for Spencer. Some'
said the reason was that I'enbody bad
been np|h)iutcd to the academy from
the gutter and it had failed to make
klui anything hut a gutter suipe, while
Spencer had enlisted from the parlor |

epon this to storm at him ami. bis
lint.t'd getting the better of his dis?
cretion, used a common opprobrious
epithet in connection with Spencer's
mother. I.Ike n Hash the marine's right

sprawling on the deck.
Hufe wns n cnaeof mutiny. In some
of the world's navies even in time of
peace to strike mi olfieer means death.
The penalty Is not so severe in the
United states navy, but it means Im

and charges preferred against him.
It wns in the but season, ami there Is

It was a grim prospect for the prison?
er. Tile insult bo bud received would
be no palliation for his offense, lie
might have preferred chitrgcs against

have laxen the law into his hands. In- j

scale far above bis comrades, had but <

ebUlll was Hob Snwln. Whose father
was n cnptnlu of a merchant vessel, i
Bob was a great scapegrace nr.d gen?

Whs a young ensign nbonril who bad \

afternoon he bad returned to duly ami j

part to call off iho names of the liberty 1

When Sawlu's name was eared, i
Spencer, well got up in ills best uni?
form for shore leave, stepped forward,
with a "Here, sir." saluted, went down
the ladder and took his place In (be j
launch. The ensign didn't know him
from any other marine. 'There was
suppressed surprise ou the faces of the
men who knew well enough that Spen?

Meanwhile Hob Sawln wns hiding

him. He had some back pay stored
away in bis pockets, by means of
