| city has heretofore been woefully neg
ligent. Few cities of the importance OF
Rock Island AT the present time are not
already enjoying the advantages OF
such enterprises. The Argus has fo-
some time advocated move in this
direction, but in so advocating it has not
desired to have its position construed
as favorable 10 committing the city or
its citizens to every scheme that may
spring up of this nature. There are in
terurban schemes and interurban
schemes. And many of them are not
worth giving a thought TO. Those de-

that are not conceived in good faith and
have not the reputable backing essen
tial to putting them through, are not
worthy the aid or cooperation of any
public-spirited body of citizens, or of
the encouragement that they must
have at the hands of municipal assem-
olies. Rock Island should not permit
itself to become either the Jumping off
place or the dumping ground of what
are purely speculative enterprises th2t
are sought merely TO dispose of and are
never completed. The country is full
of just such wildcat schemes. Rock
Island ought not to offer encourage
ment to the loose ends of projects that
start nowhere and go nowhere. 1t is

What the city needs more than any
thing else in the way of interurban
communication is this: The bringing
into this city of line from the upper
end of the county. and the bringing in
of interurban rapid transit from the
east and south. Enterprises of this
nature should be given opportunity to
run cars into the center of the city.
There are abundant means of accom-
plishing such a design. The Tri-City
Railway company which has always
evinced spirit of cooperation with
the people in the matter of modern
means of rapid transit, has expressed
Willingness to work hand in hand
with any interurban line that may find
it convenient to use its tracks, in the
furtherance of the same spirit that it
is now exhibiting in the interurban
line running out of Davenport. Ii is
willing that its double track system to
Moline should be used to bring down
the interurban cars from the upper end
of the county. 1t stands ready, so Man
ager Lardner states, to double its Mi
Ian line clear through to Rock river
ban lines coming in from the south or
east. So that it seems that it is but
necessary to start the interurban en-
