WERE DEALERS NOTIFIED
CHARGED That They Were Invited to
Bring in MIX Samples.

Editor of the Banner:-Kindly per
nit me to make inquiry of you who
supposedly is in possession of know
ledge of the eternal fitness of things,
why it is that the record of our local
milk dealers at the state laboratory
is of such superior rank? Is 1t be
cause of the keen and untiring vigi'
lance of the local health department
that maintains the ratio of butter fat
to water well above the requirements
of the test tube, or because the local
health officer gives official notice to
the dealers to bring to his office
samples of the tactical from tneir
dairys? OF course no conscientious
dealer would either water or cream
his samples under such generous con
ditions.

Vicious Elements Must Go.
The Argus has but to repeat what
it said last night. There must be
cleaning up in this city. The wine
rooms and the women and the ieeches
who live upon them must go. The
gambler and the confidence man and
the crook must so.
While not unaware of the low moral
conditions existing in Rock Island for
some time, The Argus had hoped there
would be a cessation without exposure,
but it has gone from bad to worse, and
II must be dealt with accordingly.
