Wants $3.50 of the Rock Is
land System.

fee of the circuit clerk this morning
by Attorney G. w. Wood on behalf OF
Charles A. Larson OF Moline. Mr..

was driving a team of horses across
the tracks at Twenty-f1fth street when
the wagon was struck by train and
demolished. One Of the horses was
killed and Mr.. Erickson himself mar

was killed was valued at 5000 by the
administrator of the estate and the

the most vicious and destructive in
fiuence that ever accursed commun-
ity. They not only bring disgrace
upon the city but damage the entire
saloon traffic
The women who are harbored in the
places referred to are in the majority
of cases old heads. Like reptiles they
lie in wait for their prey, always with
an eye on the cash register, for it is
the ringing of this that keeps them in
the good graces of the fellow who fur
nishes them room and heat. The
women would not be in these saloons
unless they were countenanced.
Rock Island has not always permit
ted saloons of this character to exist.
There are not so many of them but
what they could be spared. What has
always puzzled The Argus is the short
sightedness of the liquor interests
for after all, they are largely to blame
in imperiling their entire business
in the city by allowing places which
they IN certain instances control to
sink into the bawdy house class.
Clean Out the Evils,
Nc <ISU6 LAS e4N aye AUsl1hedAnSo
that Rock Island can be a good city
and a live city without the disorderly
saloon and the public gambling house,
and those Of the liquor interests that
mistake a tolerant public spirit for a
license to carry on such auxifaries
as are a disgrace to the city ought not
only to be ashamed of themselves, but
should be made to feel the shame by
concerted action on the part of the
better element OF the liquor traffic.
If bad conduct on the part of GER
tain elements engaged in the liquor
business put weapons in the hands of
the influences that are opposed to
the liquor traffic from every angle,
they will have no one to blame but
themselves for the consequences
Clean out the dives, of whatever
condition.
