Favors state Quarantine.

Austin, Texas, February 13.--In regard
to the proposition in the senate to transfer
the quarantine system of Texas to the Fed
eral government. Representative McFar-
land of Victoria has this TO say:
Texas should maintain her own quaran-
tine regulations. To take away from the
state this duty to its own people would be
to expose our coast line to the inattention
of Federal officials. who would sleep NJ
their posts while infection stalked by
Texans in the quarantine service are the
guardians OF the health Of their own peo-
pie. and we had as well expect a mother
without tender solicitu1e rs one OF these
without constant vigilance. But sec an
other danger in this proposed legislation
Behind IL stands the ahridgement OF State
and the extension OF Federal authority.
Reaching out for power through the Jan
gerous medium and ever growing army OF
appointiye officers the republican party
hopes TO destroy the political autonomy OF
the South so ms to extend its control OF the
National government. Democrats should
resist all such propositions. unless. inneen'
