 Congressman John sharp Williams who arrived late was ecognixed and loud calls brought him to the stage. He was weary, he said, of having the South referred to as If 1t was q foreign land. The quarantine conditions were not satisfactory to him. He wanted government control of quarantine be- cause of government appropriations to fight known causes.
 Williams Empleys Ridicule.
 He ridiculed the idea that the gov ernment had not the power to control interstate quarantine on human beings when 1t had assumed without objec- tfons the power to impose restrictions barring out Texas tick fever in cattle.
 "The United States some years ago appropriated s5o0.0o0 to prevent the spread of black tonsueA among cattle. What right has the severnment to allow New Orleans to spend two hun dred odd thousand dollars to stamp out national enemy?'
 Congressman Williams suggested that the phrase State Rights" be aconsidered from the view point of what the State has the right to demand from the federal government. Among such de- mands should be that federal govern ment must take care of public health.
