1t has been decided by the Southern
Pacific Morgan Line Sunset Route
Management to withdraw steamers
from the Algiers route and have them
sail direct to and from New York and
Galveston, during the continuance OF
the quarantine restrictions at New
Orleans and vicinity.
All steamers leaving New York SUBJ
sequent to Sept. 18th, will land at
Galveston. There will, therefore, be
no detention to Sunset route seaboard
business.
For the protection of the interests of
our patrons, we would announce that
restrictions have been promulgated
prohibiting the handling of freight or
iginating 10 New Orleans, or passing
through that point, either having des-
tination in the state of Texas, or des-
tined to points beyond; therefore, we
would request that for the present no
freight be routed through New Or
leans.
On freight originating in Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and adjacent ter
ritories, we would solicit routing

HONESTY is the best policy for states

to make it strong in defense but not
dangerous in attack. To talk about the

Of educational conservatism. The
committee of the board of education of

declared against it when Principal
liam D. Rorer presented to the
committee list of textbooks required
for the schcoi containing the book In

declared he must object to Les
Miserables." He had read, he said,
and regarded it rs decidedly improper
to put into the bands of girls In the
high school. He proposed that 1t be
stricken from the list.
Mrs. Mary E. Mumford, the only wo-
man member of the committee, was
the only defender of Hugo's work, but
her solitary protest was speaduy over
ruled. She said it had dOu btless been
recommended as being typical of the

Chairman Morton thus expressed his
views:
my objection is to the tone of the
book. If deals, as any one who has
read it knows, with the grlsettes OF

atory. I think that we who have
