knowing the interest you take ia
the welfare Of our beautiful and
heaIthful state; / ask permission to
show to our people through your col
umns how Florida is being injured
by the Marine Hospital service
In the telegraphic columns of the
Florida Citizen to-dayvthis passage
occurs: Up to the present it looks as
though the fever would be kept out
this summer, though there's no know
ing when germ may develop in Flor
ida, or be brought ashore surrepti-
tiously by some escaping sailor.
Can one plausible reason be given
why Florida should be thus especially
indicated as the place where germ
may develop? Why is not Texas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, or
any other state, as likely to develop
germ as Florida? And this in the
face of the fact that the surgeons OF
the Marine Hospital service virtually
conceded that yellow fever was of To-
calorigin in both Brunswick and Jesup
last fall?
Why should Florida be thus cursed
by the ISLANDERS Of this National bu
reau? BY this official announcement
the Surgeon General virtually says to
residents of this state go, ard to out
siders stay, out Of Florida.
Is this the way to induce immi-
grants TO Florida? How long will
Floridians permit their credulity TO be
imposed upon to the destruction of
their highest interests?
