DIR. JOSEPH HOLT, or NEW OR
IE1NS

No better deserved compliment was ever paid 10
public official than thar embodied IN the resolu-
ton OF tho New Orleans Chamber of Commerce on
Tuesday night, on the subject Of DIR. Joseph Hollis
runiored intention Of reslgning his position M
President Of the Louisiana State Board OF Health.
The entire public, no. only OF New Orleans and OF
Louisiana but Of the whole Mississippi Valley,
will indorse the hope expressed by the Chamber Of
Commerce that unless great sacrifice Of health
DO involved, DIR. Holt will not withdraw from q
post which he has held with 80 much honor to
himself and benefit to the public. The
resignation OF Dr. Holt would involve serious
public loss; and II is well that the Doctor should
know that the public would 80 regard It. II the
state OF LBS health imperatiyely demands a change
OF climate. there remains OF course nothing more
to say. except to express regret both for the loss o.
his most valuable and efficient services. and for the
cause that nccessltates It. But IT, rs we trust may
be the case there Is no absolute necessity for hi.
resignation on tho score OF health louisiana will
be united In requiring him 10 retain his position
NeiU ORLEANS Times Democrat.
The people of Memphis, who know DR.
Holt well through his honest and untirine
Efforts to enforce sensible method o
quarantine, which, while 1t afforded pro
lection 10 the whole Mississippi Valley
saved the commerce OF New Orleans from
unnecessary delays and detentions, will
say "amen" TO every word OF those rcsolu
tons and every word Of complimcn
they have evoked from tho press Of tina
city. DIR. Holt is an example Of the high
est integrity in official station. Not salts
fed with tho means at hand for the en-
forccment Of the quarantine laws Of tn
State OF Louisiana, he thought out ant
devised q plan by which much OF tn,
inconvenience OF quarantine is avoide,
by cutting down the period OF detention
making the inspection more searching ant
the means OF fumigation and cleansing a
thorough as the best known chemical an'
other agencies would permit. DIR. Hol
is the right man in the right place, an,
we believe that this conviction il so stronl
upon the people, outside Of New 0rlean
as well as in it, that il National Boar
OF Health is organized there would DO
general demand upon the President o
the United States to place him at tn
head fit. He represents the great vir
tues OF truth and accuracy and honesty o
statement, and these In tho Hcaltl
Service are invaluable. Indeed, ther
can be no safety without them.
