MAY PROVE A nLrssrNe.

It is a pretty we'll settled belief that
 the presence of yellow fever this year will turn out to be a blessing, afte:
 all. New Orleans. for one. had become careless and Indifferent. Little care
 had been taken to guard against in-
 troduction of the disease. CT to place
 the city in the best sanitary condition
 to receive 1t. The great city might be
 compared to an army sleeping in dense
 woods vita no guards or pickets out.
 When the enemy steps in he finds bis
 work easy.
 Communities as we'll as individuals
 learn by experience. CiMes, like ar-
 mics. learn that it is wise to be always
 on guard while the enemy lives. As
 long as there is yellow fever in exist
 ence 1t may set into our seapor.s un-
 less proper precautions arc taken. As
 long as a seaport is allowed to ielnain
 In filthy condition, the breeding place
 of mosquitoes and other forms of ma
 laria. just that long Is 1t possible for
 yellow fever to obtain foothold thero
 during the hot season.
 New Orleans needed 6 lesson and has received 1t. Not only the deaths from
 the fever, but the injury to business and reputation have helped to teacn
 the lesson and 1t has a three-fold ef- feet. The city should take measures to keep out the fever. 1t should be pre- pared for 1t if 1t does come, and, per- haps most important of all to the rest of the world, there should be no con- cealment. We have the best of au- thority for saying. and it comes from pr. Kohnke. the President of the City Board of Health. 'that yellow fever had attacked approximately 100 per sons and had killed twenty, when the Board saw an autopsy that convinced its President that yellow fever exist ed" ~
 This was almost, if not quite, crim- inal, and not only that city, but many others are paying for the negligence or secretiveness of those who should have made the facts public and adopted tue most approved methods of controlling and stamping out the disease. Never had the old proverb, "A stitch in time saves nine." a better application. Prompt announcement of the existence of tine fever would have put the people as well as all the officials on notice 1 Prompt and vigorous measures might 1 have ended the e<Bnsiness in short whiies or at least confined 1t within narrow limits. Lack of prompt &C., tion and fair dealing with the peopI> has resulted in many deaths. has had a l bad effect on business. and has serious ly reflected on New Orleans, to say nothing of the worry. expense and trouble elsewhere.
 And we hope that the experience of this year will convince the people of the South that our present method of cannot be made effective or satisfactory. As long as every State and municipality has it's own alleged system just that long will quarantine be ineffective and unsatisfactory. The Qnly solution Is in a national law which will operate alike everywhere and which will not be affected and null lined by local conditions and local jeal- ousies.
 For these and other reasons we be- lieve that the present visit of yellow. fever will prove blessing in the end

A dispatch from Pomfret, Conn.,, to the Hartford papers states that deer are so plentiful in that region that they arc fast becoming a positive nri- sance. We learn from The Times that Connecticut has an iron-cIad law which prohibits the killing of deer in that State until 1911, and that paper says that before the expiration of that limit there will be much loss to farm CTS and others from this cause. Such a prediction sounds strange to US down here in Alabama, in many sec tious of which a wild deer Is almost looked on as prehistoric animal. If some of our hunters were turned loose up there they would reduce the surplus in a short time.
 But 1t may be that natural enemy of the deer will interpose to prevent their too rapid increase. It IS report ed that wolves are appearing in con siderable numbers in tho northern parts of Maine and verInont, in which regions the deer are now unusually plentiful. and If the woods of Connect icut become filled with deer they are sure to attract the wolves. Readers of our older histories will remember that 1t was at Pomfret that Israel Putnam killed the big wolf ls3 years ago. The people thereabout have a tradition that this was the last wild wolf to range in that part of the State. but no one need be surprised if big deer crop brings wolves Then there will be double sport for the hunter after the present law expires

Something Wrong,

JOHeS VaIIey IlmeS,
 A negro was fined $1 for a mis- demeanor and the costs were $341O. Now there must be something wrong about that sort of business If that is law there ought to be a change. If negro does not deserve greater punishment than fine of $1, then $34 costs is out of proportion. It does look as If something was wrong some- where.
