To Exclude Consumptive Immigrants

The order Just Issued barring consump-
tive immigrants from landing in this coun-
try Is move toward the better regulation
of the sanitary conditions to fight this dan
gerous disease. 1t is now generally recog-
niZed by those who have investigated the
subject that tuberculosis of the lungs, or
phthisis, is contagious and is therefore to
be classed with the other plague menaces
to human health. There Is no more reason
for the admission Of cOnsumptive than
for the admission of sufferer from yellow
fever or typhus. Indeed, there is more rea-
son for his exclusion. for he is more dan
seroUs factor. The patient in yellow
fever case, whose disease eliminates in a
comparatively short time and incapacitates
him meanwhile to restrict his movements,
can contaminate only relatively small
number of persons, especially as he is soon
confined behind a strict quarantine. The
consumptive. on the other hand may scat
ter the germs of disease broadcast for
months and years before the affiiction con-
fines him to a restricted area and even
then. under the present lax method Of
treatment, he may contaminate those about
him without check. The plan Of sending
consumptives back to their original homes,
while seemingly cruel, Is a necessary step
toward international sanitary reform. When
the European countries find these invalids
returning to their shores, they NAV be
moved to take steps toward their care and
restriction. the lack of which today per-
mits this migration Of sickly persons At
the conference soon to be held in London
on the broad question Of consumption and
its prevention and regulation, this new
phase of the case will undoubtedly arise
and will perhaps lead to a better under

TO this end and assuredly merits thor

These two men are, beyond all compari-

They have abounding confidence In their

the issue Of militarism. They were routed
on that. and yet they still have their

"An Obscure Georgia sheriff.

AN obscure Georgia sheriff upheld the
majesty of the law yesterday, but will he
in turn be upheld? VIII the people Of Car
rollton stand by him in the stand he has
taken? He deserves the support of every
respectable person in the community. He
kept faith with those who had put him In
Office His duty was to defend his pris-
oner to the death If need be. His assail-
ants were all without the law. He was en-
tirely within it. So that in shooting down
those who were leading mob to violate
law he but faithfully observed the spirit
of his oath Of Office and demonstrated his
claim to public respect.
But a difficulty may arise from one of
those cross currents of popular sympathy
which now and then cut in and sweep
away rightful foundations. The prisoner
was a negro, under sentence of death for
the murder of a white boy. The day of
execution had arrived. The people were
not only expecting. but were in the humor
for, a hanging. The appeal to higher
court coming at the eleventh hour angered
them. and they set about deciding the ap-
peal themselves All were white men, and
one was killed. and among the wounded
was the father Of the victim of the con-
demned murderer. The friends of these
to take up the matter now and create SEN
timent against the officer who but executed
the law.
This danger unfortunately Is always
present in dealing with a mob. Whatever
the situation may be, the killing Of men,
Der or members Of a mob invariably
changes the aspect of things. The original
trouble is for the moment obscured The
new trouble Immediately oyershadows ev-
erything. Those in sympathy with the
mob. as we'll as personal friends Of the
stricken members of the mob. think only
of the heavy hand of the law, and come
to resent the action taken for upholding
the law. The faithful officer or officers be-
come objects of dislike and are denounced
for that which is deserving really of praise.
In this Georgia case 1t is easy to cast up
the tavern Judgment. Why should the
sheriff have gone so far? Had not the ne
gro had a fair trial and been justly con-
vfcted? Did he not deserve prompt execu-
ton? Was his whole hide worth a single
drop of the blood that was shed In the
fight against him? And the tavern judg
ment is very strong in such cases. But
nothing is palmer than that the Obscure
sheriff did his duty. The arrest of the
higher court was as binding upon him as
the sentence of death had been. and while
the prisoner was in his custody he was en-
titled to all the protection that officer
could command

New Orleans Gets Her Wharves.
From ha Ra alfimora uarold

The city of New Orleans has recovered
possession of all wharves and landings
within its boundaries. For more than
quarter of a century these wharves have
been leased to private parties, who, 1t is
stated, have made mint of money out OF
them, and on account of which, it is fur
ther alleged, the commerce of the city has
suffered. Some time ago the city made an
attempt to purchase, but failed, and now
that the leases have expired the municipal
government has declined to renew them
and has taken the whole matter under its
control One of the first steps under the
new administration will be to reduce the
wharfage dues nearly ons-half.

laden offal that the death rate Of that capt.

And since the Americans disinfected and
purged Havana the yellow fever in that
town. which was constantly choked with
refuse in the years of Spanish dominion,
has almost disappeared. Give civilization
half chance, and it will purify even the

The Trailing Skirt ShOuId Go.

The trailing skirt is an effective agent for
the collection and dissemination Of disease
germs. Out Of homes infected with con-
sumption and other diseases this cumbrous
creation goes forth carrying its death-deal-
Ing bacilH into the streets public places and
cars. where the accommodating apparel of
other women gives them hospitality. They
are thus transferred to homes not vet con-
taminated by disease, but which, thanks
to every lady's draperies. soon become foe,
for infection.
NO woman on earth knows how to dress
herself more neatly, becomingIy and COM
fortably than the American woman. She
always does so when guided by her own
Judgment and unfailing good taste. She

More drastic laws are needed to suppress
the evil practice Of carrying concealed

weapon of homicidal intent.
In defense of the practice of carrying a
revolver around town, 1t Is sometimes said
1t Is needed to stand of sandbaggers and

who was formerly student In New Eng
