Up Next Week; Climax of
Utility Fight.

Street car service in Muscatine
will stop May 20, according to an
nouncement today by B. j. Den
man, president of the Tri-City Rail
way company, of which Muscatine
company is an affiliated unit.
The tracks will be torn up and
all cars removed from the city.
This action of the company follows
controversy with the city over the
question of the company paying the
cost of paving between tracks. The
utilities people refused to submit
to the demands of the Muscatine
city council.
The trouble reached an acute
stage recently when the people of
Muscatine voted a bond issue to
build a gas and electric plant. to
compete with the service furnished
by the company.

LAUNCH BOOM
FOR THOMPSON
AT CLUB LUNCH
supreme Court Justice Mentioned
for Governor by Exchangites-
Jurist Delivers Address.

w. G. Harms, chairman of the en-
,ertainment committee of the Ex-
change club ventured the opinion
that Justice Floyd Thompson would
make a good governor of Illinois
when he introduced that gentle
man to the organization at the noon
luncheon OF the club today, and at
the conclusion of speech by the
iustice on The State of Illinois,"
the president, James +. Pound,
helped launch gubernatorial
boom by stating that Illinois needed
a man of Justice Thompson's type
for governor.
Justice Thompson, to whom the
merton of his name in such con-
nection came as an entire surprise,
said that after the manner OF poll
ticians, he must maintain nom
committal attitude.
Referring to Illinois as the great
est state in the union, Justice
thompson said that the task be-
fore the people of the state was to
make themselves big enough to
face and solve the problems of the
day and of the state.
illinois is not being run right
now. and it has not been run right
for some time" he declared.
The fault was not especially that
of Governor Len Small, he said.
His predecessors in the guberna-
toriai chair bad been criticized
also. he maintained. He said the
fault was upon the individual citi-
zen. The system of government
was TO blame, too, he said, for I'M
der it there are twice as many en-
Moves OF the state administration
as are necessary, and the employ
ment of so many unnecessary men
involves the employment of men
who are necessary to keep check on
the other kind.
Raps Partisan Politics.
The times themselves are to
blame for many ills, he claimed
THE trouble is" said Justice
Thompson, there are too many
hypocrites in congress voting for
prohibition and keeping their OWL
cellars full of booze. There are
too many members of the U. S
senate opposing the League of Ma
tons, but standing for the four
power treaty"
One trouble in the country today
he declared, is that there is toe
much government in business anc
not enough business in government
There should be no partisan politics

cency and honesty" he said, and

her head in shame as she does
now"
