DR.. Charles E. Snyder, pastor of

DIR. Charles E. Snyder, pastor Of
a Sioux City, Iowa, church, and
moderator of the Unitarian confer
ence now in session in the tri-
cities, told the Rock Island Ex-
change club at noon that in his
opinion, the-desire of certain por-
ton of the community to obtain
special privileges occasioned the
outbreaks of lawlessness in Rock
Island.
II come to you with no criti-
cisms," he said, because what has
been happening in Rock Island has
taken place in other communities.
Rather do l see promise in the sit
uation here, because when the rot
tenness was revealed, it caused in
you and in every loyal citizen q
feeling of revulsion and shame
Shame is one of the most con-
structive features in, our makeup
These outbreaks of the criminal
element touched your sensitiveness
and made you resolve not to stand
for their recurrence.

which a certain coterie in Rock Is
land is afflicted with as "the desire
to obtain special privileges which
other men cannot secure, he said
/, that everyone should stand solid
ly behind The Argus in its efforts
to effect cleanup of the COM
munity."
Clubs like the Exchange organi-
cation, he said, could all take their
part in such q movement, likewise
the Chamber of Commerce, but a
Chamber of Commerce such as you
have here composed of only 283 az
tive members can not accomplish
as much as a larger organization

of the saloon was not the alcohol

but its evil was in the fact that il
