TAGGARTS AND MARSTONS
Bring a Thrilling and Fatal
End to Ancestral Feud.

The feud of the Taggarts
and the Marstons is at an end.
1t has ended in the only way
that it could be finished. One
Of the feud parties is annihi-
lated. The Marstons remain.
The end came after a bitter
all night battle at rifle range
in the woods of the Lazette
County region Texas. The
Marstons and Taggarts have
been enemies from time imme-
mortal. Recently, James Mars
ton, owner of the Lazy Y ranch,
and Tom Taggart fought a duel
in which Marston was slain.
Cal Marston, only son of the
murdered man, and a vagrant
driven from home by the
cruelty of his father, returned.
An attempt was made by the
Taggarts to assasSinate this

ing Of lawgiver and leader of the
people, says DR.. Frederick Peterson, in
the Century. He continues:
ITO reach the goal Of national
health, the physicians accumulated
knowledge and experience must be
brought to bear upon the laws which
relate to fit marriages, to housing and
the food supply, to education, occupa-
tions. recreations, hygiene and santa
tion, to contagious diseases, alcohol
ism, poverty and crime in short, upon
every law which relates directly or in
directly to the health and well-being
Of the people. His interest reaches
into the depths Of sociology, biology
and philosophy, to the relations be-
tween persons and groups, between ma
tiOns and races. The interests of medi.
cine are fixed only by the boundaries
Of life itself. When the great state,
with it's great free municipalities is at
length established, when war and pov.
erty and disease and unemployment
as we know them, have been banished
to the vast rubbish heap Of mans out
grown ignorance and folly, it may be
that the physicians Of that nobler time
will be expected to frame wise laws
not only to insure individual health
but to prevent the disease to which
the organism of the state, the body

Bitter rivalry for the love of
a Miss Betty Clayton sprang up

East Molines vote against the saloon yesterday
puts Rock Island county in the dry column with the
exception of certain territory outside OF cities or VII
lagos The supervisors have the power to authorize
retailing establishments there but, in view OF the
prevailing sentiment of the voters, such action by
the county board is hardly in the realm OF prob
ability.
With the saloon wiped out of the county and none
nearer than Peoria or Bureau the problem of law en-
forcement in Rock Island will remain serious one
Municipal. county and federal authorities must be
vigilant and must have assistance of law abiding
citizens If the bootlegger and blind pig are to be
kept from fourishing No spasmodc effort will
suffice Rock Island has too much of that sort
of thing. Collision with those who have
proted by lax enforcement Of liquor and vice regu
ations has not been unknown here. Not infreQuent-
ly there has been much clustering followed
by periods Of suspicious calm, during which
vice hauns have fourished Abolition Of the saloon
will not remove temptation for this sort Of thing
but, IL anything will increase it. The underworld
will endeavor capitalize its hazards and work on
broader margin. Observance of law be COM
PEELED only by making the risk great that pos
sbIe profit will compensate for it.
To bring this about extension of the federal dry
zone for distance OF five miles around Rock Island
arsenal is, as The Argus has already suggested,
highly desirable If, it claimed, such
course was planned in the event Rock Island voted
wet there can be legal obstacles now in the way
Certainly much good be done. For one
thing the federal wholesale license would be abo1-
ished.
Nobody doubts the sincerity of the department of
Justice when undertakes lob of this sort and it
has the machinery to compel respect. 1t is impos-
sible to take too many precautions.

have done in the intervening months is enough to
make the world marvel. When history completes its
record critics Of program will be answered
for ali time
It is not denied that there has been lost motion
and have made minor failures but they are ut
terly insignificant when compared with what we
have accomplished. The average person canont
comprehend the extent of our preparation The hun

we have overcome in Matchmaking the railroads, in
building ships and in other directions have called for
wealth of and abundance of energy
that other nation earth could supply
The changes wrought during the year have been
SO vast and radical that it has been difficult to
maintain a correct perspective. We have not appre-
ciated the significance of the things we have done
We have not realized the tremendous demands upon
leaders. Without doubt have been tempted
to place too low estimate upon their capacity be-
ing deceived by the criticisms persons with mar
views with political ends serve Among
those who have been attacked none is more certain
of ultimate vindication than Secretary War Baker
