City Officials Express Their Opinions
That Street Car Company Will
Improve Long View.
ORDINANCE In EFFECT TUESDAY
Measure Calling for Double Truck
Conveyances, Passed by Council,
in Force on Feb. /.

City officials today expressed them
selves as believing that the Tri-City
Railway company Thursday would
place double truck cars in service on
the Long View street car line. An Of
fetal of the traction concern when in
terviewed today said that the company
had no announcement to make with
reference to its plans.
On Tuesday an ordinance passed by
the council two months ago will go
into effect, calling for double truck
cars on all of the company's lines.
This ordinance was presented by
Commissioner Rudgren in the early
part of December and was unani-
mously passed by the council. The
measure was offered after the COM
mission rejected proposed change
submitted by the company, in the
routing of several lines in this city.
The proposed extension of the Third
avenue line from Twelfth avenue
south on Fifth street will likely not
develop. City councilmen and Off
Gals of the street car company yes

iasm was shown in favor of the ex-

MOTHERS DAY HELD
IN BOY DEPARTMENT

The Mothers Day" invitation to the
program given by the boys department
of the Y. NJ c. A. yesterday afternoon
received a large response. Many
mothers took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to be present and see their
young hopefuls perform. The enter
tainment consisted of regular gym
class, an exhibition in the swimming
pool, inspection of the building and
then refreshments served by the boys.
A trio from the boys department Or
chestra also supplied music. The event
was planned and promoted by members
of tn Live Wire club. The idea was
to show the mothers what the associa-
ton is trying to do for the boys in the
city. More events like that of yester-
day are to be planned by the other
clubs in the near future.

DEBATE PREL|MS
HERE next WEEK
Seventeen Rock Island High School
Girl Students to Compete for
Team Positions.
APPEAR IN TRI.CITY CONTEST
Details Modelled After Plan of the Big
Clasies-Names of Candi-
dates.

The preliminaries for the girls de-
clamatory contest will be held at the
Rock Island high school Monday and
Tuesday Of next week, according to
statement issued from the high school
this morning. The interest that is
being taken in the matter this year by
far surpasses that of any previous
years, the list of contestants entered
resulting to the almost incredible num-
Der of II. The records for the past
show between five and ten, so this
number is indeed an epoch making
number in the history of the school.
One thing that undoubtedly accounts
for large part of this enthusiasm this
year is the tri-city declamatory con-
test, which will occur Feb. 3, and in
which each of the tri-cities will be
represented by two teams Of three
girls each. The plan is the same as
the one that worked out so success
fully in the case of the boys contest
and is modelled after the plan of the
Big Eight debate. According to it's
rules, Rock Island will send team
of three to Moline, Moline a team of
three to Davenport and Davenport a
team Of like number to Rock Island,
while each of the tri-cities will keep
team of three to meet the other
teams on the home floor.
On account of the number of contest
ants, it will be necessary for the
judges for the local high school to
spend two days in deciding the merits
of the II contestants Monday nine of
the contestants will be heard, and
Tuesday the remaining eight, and then
the judges will calculate the relative
standings of the girls and pick the
two teams. The same set of judges
will be used throughout. After the tri-
city contest another preliminary will
be held and the Big Eight representa-
tiyeS chosen.
Those in the Trials.
The tri-city contest will be held a
week before the Big Eight and the
latter contest will be held at Rock
Island on Feb. TO- This will be an
opportunity that does not come very
often and it is expected that the con-
test will be largely attended.
The II who are trying out for places
on the tri-city teams are as follows:
Dorothy Algie, Edna Anderson, Neral
da Anderson, Vera Bronson, Dora
DAILY, Juanita Funkenstein, Lolita
Golden, Gertrude Hellpenstell, Laura
Holcombe, Charlotte Huesing, Dora
Lefstein, Aline Martin, Ruth Sellers,
Goldie Sosna, Margaret Underhill,
La Verne Wood, Ada Young.

WISE WORDS.
'No temperance advocate In the
world has spoken wiser words than
those uttered by the German emperor
to the naval cadets" said Secretary
Of the Navy Daniels, speaking before
the national convention Of the Catho-
lie Total Abstinence union. The
words referred to, spoken November
Fl, 1910, at the dedication of the new
naval academy at Murvik. are In the
Z light of the events Of the past two
years most significant. We quote part
Of the address:
AS you will observe In the course
Of your time on board, the service In
my navy has reached a degree Of
strain which can hardly be surpassed.
To be able to endure this enormous
pressure In time of peace without wear
ing out, SO that you may be fresh when
a serious call comes, Is your duty.
The next war, the next naval enc0un-
ter. will require Of you sound nerves.
These are undermined by alcohol, en-
dangered from youth up, by its use.
You will later have opportunity to
see the marine targets and the &C
ton Of modern guns on ships, and win
be able, therefore, to infer the con-
ditions In battle. You will see hor-
rible devastation and all kinds Of pic
lures. Then the word will be strong
nerves and cool heads. The natiOn
which drinks the least alcohol will be
the winneri"

RussiA's PEASANT BANKS.

I'm IS months of 'water-wagon' life
there have been founded 1900 peas
ant cooperative banks and 1000 peas
ant cooperative supply stations or
stores" says Ivan Narodny, secretary
Of the MISUNDERSTANDING cor
poration, In the New York Tribune.
"These peasant banks are Just now
forming a central administration, q
bank of banks. In Moscow, composed
Of delegates from provincial banks.
The government has not yet been able
to grasp the whole extent Of these Pc
cullar institutions of the people, both
sporadically and suddenly looming up
as something gigantic In national
economic life. The cash capital Of
these peasant banks amounts to 50O,-
000,0O0 rubles, while the value Of their
accessories, real estate. securities, ETC.,
reaches 1000, 100000"
Most Of the hatred against the Rus
sian Jew, he tells us. originated In the
lending Of money by Jews to peasants.
The peasant banks abolish automati-
cally all Russian Jewish troubles.
IF the car had done nothing bat
abolish alcohol" says the secretary,
"he would loom up In history as one
of the great reformers."
