resides near LeClaire, Iowa. has been
arrested and is lying in the county

In the mass of communications,
come to The Argus since the Inaugural

of the situation as it pertains TO the
regulation of the liquor traffic, its
abuse and kindred evils growing oul

was from a local minister of the COS
Eel who after commencing at length
the course OF The Argus says in con
olusion: How | wish your splendid
pauer would come out squlrely as 4

Another citizen writes: The situa-
ton i'll Rock Island simply emphasizes
the force of the local option logic,
which The Argus opposed a year and
a half ago. and the evidence it nov
has should convince il that its position
should be on the side Of
local option. With The Argus
placing itself on that high
ground there is no question of what
the result of the next campaign would
be Nevertheless, your papers frank
ness and fearlessness in exposing con-
aitions as they are and, which for
some time have been notorious, IS

ness says: "The blame for the present
conditions is largely with the brew
cries that own saloons. They could

Argus is inclined TO be extremely fair
in the matter of the moral conditions
of the city and is willing 10 avoid fur
