CAPTAIN EVAN Up. HOWELL

In the death of this distinguish
ed Georgian the state sustains the
loss of one of her most devoted sons
and wOrthiest citizens; one whose
life work has ever been for his
state and his people. The end
came peacefully to Captain Howell
on Sunday, removing from this
sphere IF usefulness one of the
brainiest and best known of the
SOuth's sons; one of that grand
type of men who have written the
most illustriOus pages of Southern
history, that of the past half cen
fury. Captain Howell was a lead
er among men, whether at the
fighting front of civil, war in the
halls of legislation, or through the
medium of his trenchant pen as
one of Georgia's brainiest editors
during a score of years. He was
a genial gentleman, a valiant and
true friend, the soul of honor and
unimpeachable integrity, and to
him Atlanta and all Georgia owe
much for their advancement and
prosperity. He was a native Geor-
gian and in his Goth year.

BE FEDERAL CONTROL

The actOf the Governor of LOulsl-
ana, the Mayor of New Orleans
and the commercial bodies of that
city, in asking the President to
order that the yellow fever situa
ton be taken in charge by the
United States Marine Hospital
Service, is wise and proper one.
There should have been passed a
long time ago, legislation giving
the United States authorities the
power to take charge of epidemics
of such infectious diseases as vel
low fever whenever they break out
in any city. Such legislation was
considered in 1897 at the time of
the last outbreak in New Orleans,
but the old fashioned sticklers for
States rights defeated any meas
ure bearing on the point.
Congress should take notice of
the present case and enact legis-
ton to cover it, so that in the flu,
ture the people of the country and
the business interests will be sure
that competent body of men wbC
have no local prejudice or sympa
thies will be in charge of the
epidemic, and in charge of the Ell
forcement of quarantine laws.
The thing of shotgun quarantine
and small towns throughout the
South "quarantining against the
world" is an absurdity and would
be entirely unnecessary if the
United States authorities were il
charge of the quarantine laws in
stead of the local authorities in the
various States.
There is too much interruption
of commerce and the ordinary
activities of life because of this old
time custom of States having con
