Terrible as war Is and to be avoided
by every reasonable and right conces-
sion, yet when war comes, as It has at
this time and as 1t came thirty-seven
years ago, 1t brings some compensa-
tons. The chief Of theseis in the shock
and shaking up it gives to selfishness,
meanness, the mere commercial spirit,
the idea that man was made for bust
ness, that there are no higher motives
that those of money-making for the In
dividual or material advantages for a
people-and, on the other hand, the
kindling Of patriotism. OF course there
are always counterfeits where there
are genuine coins. So 1t Is not sure
sign of profound or even of true pa
triotism to see flags flying In front of a
store or saloon. These flags may be
put up for advertising purposes. But
the very fact that the flags are put out,
hundreds Of them on every block, that
they float from almost every house-top,
that the public buildings are decorated
with them, bears witness to the fact Of
patriotism. 1t shows what Is popular;
1t discloses public sentiment, and pre-
vailing public sentiment Is like con-
fiagrationIit grows, 1t sweeps onward,
1t carries the sluggish, the Indifferent
and the selfish along as by a torrent.
The result Is that man who has no
plain duty to keep him at home feels
impelled to enlist, or, In some way to
offer his services to his country. The
young men who go heroically forward
to service where death faces them,
where danger Is sure and where hard
ships are inevitable, rightfully COM
mand admiration. They help to fan
the spark of patriotism In any COM
munity into flame. AS patriotism Is
in itself ennobling, and as the very per-
petuity Of the nation depends upon It,
we may well regard its revival In a
generation as great good. If to this
be added the awakening Of humane
sympathies for the sufferers In battle
and for the friends of the killed and
wounded, we must recognize some
noble results and some unquestionable
compensations for war. s.a,,,.s.

especially bananas. has grown to great

THE VISIT TO ORANGE
by THE MAGNOLIA CITY's BOARD
or HEALTH.
The People of Orange stiIi Obdurntc,
but Good Results May BE Elk
pcctcd to Follow.

Drs. SCOTT. Wood and Brumby OF the
Houston board Of health, accompanied by
pr Knox OF this city, DR.. Cunningham
OF Beaumont and Mr.. Mulyey of the South
ern Pacific system, went to Orange yester-
day by special train. the Houston con.in-
gent OF the party returning to this city
about p m, aft1r having had a friendly
conference with the people OF Orange anent
their very stringent quarantine regua-
tons.
Drs. Scott and KnoX were seen by re-
porters for Tho Post after their return.
These gentlemen stated substantially that
while they could not induce the people
OF Orange to relax what they--the Houston
ply sicans--regard as unnecessary stringe I
quarantine regulations, they believe that
ihelr trip was resultant In some COOL I'm
demonstrating to the people of Orange how
the stua tlon theirs is regarded by other
communities, tho interests Of which are
equally involved.
The citizens OF Orange met the visitors
,in an open air meeting and gave atLaatiye
audience to what they had to say, but
the conclusion OF the meeting the Orange
ties concluded by motion to lot the matter
rest where ii is.
The Houston physicians say that they
met every objection that the people Of
Orange raised. To the objection urged by
them that the State quaranting was not
sufficiently effective. Mr.. Mulvay for the
Southern Pacific system suggested that
the people OF Orange might appoint from
their own number as many quarantine
guards as they might deem effective and
that the railroad company would d fray
the expenses OF such service. That they
would run their freight trains and empty
fumigated cars through the city without
stopping at rate of speed OF twenty
miles an hour and to prevent the possible
Importation OF trampS they would submit "a
