THRILLING PHASES OF THE BATTLE

at Washington to intervene and curb
the fiery vardaman's naval operations.
Imbroglio on Land.
A clash between the land forces OF
the two states seems to have been more
probable than between the forces afloat
in gulf and bay. Violation of the
sacred soil of Louisiana by invasion of
Mississippi soldiers was the cause of
the imbroglio on land. Dunbar, a
small town on the Louisiana side. of
the state line, was the place invaded
by the troops from Mississippi. 1t was
not claimed that the invaders came
with hostile intent and their real mis-
sion was known to be to get their
meals, as Dunbar was the only ac-
cessible place to get food in the coun-
try where the armed men of Mississip-
antine camps. But the governor of
Louisiana had hardened his heart
against the governor of Mississippi be-
cause of the latter's sensational pro-
announcement, in which the authori-
ties of New Orleans and all Louisiana
were charged with deception and mis-
representation" in the alleged with
holding from the outside world Of the
information that the yellow fever had
broken out in the Crescent City. So
Gov. Blanchard ordered Gov. Vardaman
to keep his troops at his W side of

Louisiana's terra firma.
Because OF the friction engendered
by the fierce controversy of the two
governors the travellers seeking to
break through the quarantine lines
were held back at the lannon's mouth
and the point of bayonet. 1t was an
unusual state of affairs-a condition
unique in the history of the country.
When the New Orleans populace
realized that soldiers of the neighbor-
ing state had invaded Louisiana with
arms and gunboats the indignation was
so intense and general that even the
pressing necessity of fighting the
spread OF yellow fever by making wal
upon mosquitoes was not permitted to
stand in the way of preparations for
measures of reprisals and retaliation.
A light-draft vessel was chartered for
the naval brigade CT the states militia
and il was announced that this vessel
would be fitted out and armed with
hoWitzers and machine guns and would
start out to protect Louisiana citizens
from further aggressions.
At Beaumont and Marshall, as well
as other points on the Texas border
and coast, the citizens have armed
themselves with shotguns to reinforce

New Orleans, Lathe shotgun quar-
aatine which has prevailed in the
southern states bordering on the fever
stricken districts of Louisiana has
been one of the exciting and spectacu-
IG features of the outbreak Of the
sse0urge this year. Refugees from New
Orleans and the other Louisiana towns
IN which the yellow fever has appeared
have been hemmed in with gatling
guns and muskets in the detention
amp along the coast or near the
STATE lines Of Mississippi, Texas and
Alabama. Great railroad II steam
ship transportation lines, extending
around half a continent, have been
'ahut down" so far as New Orleans
and all Louisiana are concerned. Pas
sslger traffic is paralyzed, and even the
freishf traffic is affected.
In the railroad stations just across
,tde Louisiana line in Mississippi and
Texas-but most rigidly in Mississippi
all travellers through Louisiana are
placed Unfortunately in the 'refu-

Florists Bring In Bits of Field and
Forest for Window Dis
plays.

In the midsummer the town florists
keep their shop windows just as at
tractive as in spring. In n window,
filled with field flowers. noats at will a
company of bees and butterflies.
Thudding of the black and yellow bees
against the glass draws attention to
the window that has not already been
won by country bloom or light laden
butterfly wings.
Thoroughly pleasing is the window
which has been converted into a. gar
den of decided landscape pretensions.
Grass seed is sprouting over the gently
undulating lawn that covers the entire
floor Of the window. A grove of dwarf
maple trees f1ourishes in the back
ground. Below the grove lies a lake.
On the water float various kinds OF
little water plants. About the rim OF
the lake runs a border of shrubs and
vines.
A picturesquely arranged pool OF
water is a favorite ornamental device
in window arrangement among the
florists at this hot season. The pool OF
one window is surrounded by palms.
One palm is tipped forward so that a
great leaf dips half way into the wa
ter.
Green is the keynote Of all the win
dows. Ferns fill the background and
sides, cover the flooring and hang sus-
pended from the ceiling. The pots OF
the ferns do not show from the street.
The effect is one mass of unbroken
green.

to take up diplomatic and state puzzles
with a zest.
Mr.. Root is the youngest looking
nan there ever has been in the public
service, and lie will come back from
the wilds of Labrador looking little
more than half his age. There was a
general approval throughout official
circles when Mr.. Root was named by
Mr.. Roosevelt as premier of his adj
ministration. No n had guessed
this able statesman, who had a little
over a year before resigned from the
cabinet because he wanted to get back
into the profession of law, where he
could earn a competence before he
grew too old. Few believed that. with
all the enormous fees he had won in
that short time. that he had acquired
a sufficient fortune with which to re-
turn to public life. But it appears that
within that time Mrs. Root has fallen
heir to several millions. and her distin-
guished husband can follow the bent of
his ambition in a political way.

matte bug during our trouble in China

Root the other day, when he admitted
that he wanted to be secretary of state.

ma knows, is not given to the express

a friend:
1T would be a good thing if the peo-
pie of the United States had a closer
knowledge of their ~neighbors to the
north. Let them go up into the broad
wheat lands of that mighty country
stretching west from Winnipeg to the
Rockies and they will find a pretty
good lot of Americans there" This
opinion is agreed to by a group of
Washington correspondents who re-
Gently made 4 tour of Canada from
Montreal to Victoria, spending a week
in the great northwest wheat field.
The people met by the Washington
ians and what they are accomplishing
were revelations.
Some of these newspaper men had
never gotten lid of their school geog-
raphy ideas that a few miles above the
international boundary began the reign
of eternal snow and ice. They knew,
of course, that the Canadian Pacific
railway ran clear across Canada, bur
without a practical view of what this
railroad had accomplished they could
not realize the possibilities and great
ness of the country. When they found
good farmers from the United States
raising as high as 40 bushels of wheat
to the acre as far north as Edmonton
they reformed their ideas of geography
and their estimate of Canada.

dent shall do the thinking for the
senators and reprentativesin Congress
The senator or representative who an
nounces himself in favor Of whatever
the president wants" belittles both
his own dignity and the office he
holds: No president is SO wise as to
be infallible. Every president makes
mistakes OF judgement and. Of con-
duct. The right and selfrespecting
position for member Of congress to
take is to be ready to support the
president in all his policies which
seem good and sound, and to oppose
him in any that are clearly the re-
verse. Constituents who demand Of
their Congressman that they quit ex-
ercising their reasoning faculties and
follow blind]y wherever the president
may lead, show little respect for the
men they have chosen to represent
them in the councils of the nation.
Senator Long Of Kansas, declines
to become mere puppet at the com
Imand of some Of his unthinking COLI
stituents, and every fair minded per-
son honors him for it. That the
country is entitled to relief from
railway abuses he admits freely, but
to consent to disregard his own
judgement and conscience and take
whatever legislation the White House
cooks may dish up for him is some
thing he cannot do. The Esch.
Townsend bill in the last congress re.
ceived approval from the White
House, yet it was found to be SO
faulty that Secretary Root declared
it would have been unconstitutional
if enacted. 1t is entirely probable
that after congress assemblies and
gives the subject due consideration a
measure will be agreed on that will
be satisfactory TO the president and
will become a law. In advance of
the meeting of congress Senator Long
is fully justified in refusing to COM
NIT himself to any policy of railway
regulation that is not clearly defined
and that is as yet in an uncertain
and vague state of development.
