heroes that mp, hide from ia our cnlpabity
or responsibility community. Take up the Nieol-
sou pavement the bayou, pave The streets with
stone or asphalt, nacadamize them and give tus
board OF health with power enforce Its DEGREES. and
intelligent enough know that its duties are something
than compiling registry OF the SICK ara dead
and the epidemic will have been In vain Unless
this Ia done IL will be useless, and Memphis has no
future" This Ia sensible talk and II comes with good
grace journalists who have shown much gTii as
these have In the office OF The APpe1f twenty-five

OF the plague hrtvSour or these were buried tnRiy-

war until Parliament says Yes" or No" when 1
say Parliament" he added, " 1 mean Parliament
