the quarantine, it believes that the
board was governed more by undue
alarm instead of by the conditions
as they really exist. The majority of
the board may have believed that the
time had arrived to bottle the CITY m
but the people Of Pine Bluff do not be-
lieve that such a conclusion was
feached from correct premise The
state quarantine is strong enough to
protect the cities, and especially with
the quarantine existing here before
the rigid regulations adopted by the
board Wednesday, The present quar-
antine can not be made effective TN
less it is made to apply to every ave
hue of entrance to the city: for the
person who would enter the state in
defiance of the regulations would not
it by the trains, but by 9th
er avenues of ingress. therefore the
present quarantine can do little more
than prove so great an annoyance to
travel that it will practically cease,
and thousands of people at other
points in the state who could come
here and would come here TO trade
will stay away because of the an
noyance and unnecessary expense It re-
quires to get into and out cf the city.

People Opposed to 1t.

The reporter for the Graphic visited
the places Of business of a number of
other business men, but failed to find
them present. However of the twen-
ty or more interviews printed. and
taken promiscuously. as the reporter
met the people in his rounds, only
three persons have expressed them
selves in favor Of the present quaran-
tine. There were several who refus
ed to be interviewed, but. without
exception they all declared against
the quarantine regulations adopted by
the board of health Wednesday. There
can be no doubt but what the people
as whole are decidedly opposed to
the present regulations, and it is eyi-
oent to any person who will go among
the people and talk with them on the
niattef will find sentiment STRONGLY
against the present quarantine, and as
the board of health is a BODY actino

stretched entirely about the state the
board will ask the local authrities, ex-
cept those of the border counties, to
lift the quarantines which may have
been maintained SO far. DR.. Runyan
is of the belief that he will have the
cooperation of the local boards in his
efforts to do away with the interior

there would be no quarantine against

The Drama Reviyinq.

Zone great play" Mrs. Fisk
thinks, may serve to save the
theater." The question. then, is
simply to get the play or rather the
series of great plays. 1t may be
that the time is drawing. near when
our great theatres may cease to be
"show houses" and become theatres
again. Every element exists for
the renaissance of significant drama
except the drama itself. Costly
playhouses are multiplied, the thea
tre-going audiences are increasing
ia number and a new strain of dis
eliminating criticism has appeared
in the public. A unique reputation
is to be won in play writing.
For railroad pipe dream a Port
land paper of recent date certainly
goes the limit. It first tells about
engineers emerging from the woods
at Nyssa, who sent batch of re-
ports to the Northwestern. "The
woods at Nyssa" is good, but it is
related further that w. N. Donald
son, prominent railroa.. contrac-
tor, and DR.. Ustick are building
a so-called electric road down the
valley from Bose, that is nothing
more nor less than section of the
Chicago & Northwestern. This
line, according to the Portland pa
per, is to be connected right on to
the coast. 1t would be real mean
of Donaldson and Ustick if they
are really building a transcontinen-
tai line, and have kept their plans
such a close secret, leading US to
believe that it was an electric road

A Brave Man.

In the trial of Cadet Meriwether
at the Naval Academy he, testify
ing in his own defense, told the
court-martial that he had his choice
between fighting Cadet Branche,
who was killed, or being left Tin
the same position as another class
mate with whom no one has any
thing to do" This other cadet
with whom no one has anything to
do, is said to be one who declined a
challange to fight or refused to rec
ognize the provocation to send one.
For having Christian couscience
he lives at the naval school in a
state of social ostracisrn. This is
not the worst of the matter; proba-
bly, he will go through life, if he
continue in the navy, an ostracised
man because he has chosen not to
be duelist. Well, we have to say
of him that he appears to be the
bravest man in his class. We would
trust him sooner in an emergency
where the highest moral courage
was required to do his duty than
any one of those who refuse him
their recognition. He would do
what duty required more certainly
without thinking whether he would
be applauded and medaled for it

fellow; and, as he swung his heavy
hammer, you wouldn't give much

an ignorant son of Italy, but he
knew better than that. He swung
his hammer again and again. The

The state of Idaho is making
large gains in territory by the
boundary survey being carried on
by the government. The line di.
vidiug this state and Montana,
which is being run by the engi-
neers in the field, has recently been
completed from Lolo pass to ST..
Regis pass. The result shows an
increase to the state of 43o square
miles of territory over that shown
on the most accurate map yet made
It is estimated that further in.
creases when the surveys have fin
ished, will make sufficient addi-
tions to the state to bring the total
increase up to 500 square miles, or
territory one-half the size of the
states of Rhode Island or Delaware,
and enough to make a good-sized
county, even in Idaho. The add.
ton will give Idaho Schools an ad-
ditiou of land valued at $176, 900.
