the finer sentiments of humanity
and t. exercise brutality towards
New Orleans, the victims of cold
feet have declared that the gel
low fever exists there and is
being concealed. Thus does At
lanta suffer by reason of her
friendship for New Orleans. and
while there is not a word of
truth in the damaging reports of
the fever in Atlanta, yet the
mere dissemination of the SEN
satiOnal reports has no doubt
caused her considerable damage;
for there are not mules enough
in the United States army to
drag q victim of the epidemic of
cold feet into a city where even
the suspicion of yellow fever
exists.
In New Orleans we are doing
fairly well. We are giving to the
world every day examples of
pluck and courage, and in
stances of personal heroism that
will shine with increasing luster
with the flight of time, and that
will forever put to shame the
ignoble spirit of selfshness and
rufianism we see so often dis
played nowadays. And we are
going to stamp out the fever
and a new and greater New Or
leans will arise out of the re-
filming fires of this great trial, a
New Orleans built upon a founda-
ton of cleanliness and courage
and idbmitable manhood, of
character that will stand the SUI
preme test and of faith that will
permit no denial.
That's what we are doing here,
but the Lord only knows what
can be done to stay the ignOble
of cold feet, which has
wrought more havoc to Christian
civilization than all the epidemics
Of infectious diseases which
have ever decimated the human
race.

The Only Hope.

The Weekly State of Baton
Rouge says that the only hope OF
the South for protection against
yellow fever lies in Federal con-
troll of quarantine. and we en-
dorse the statement which is as
follows:
Let the same power which imposes
the quarantine at New Orleans also
impose It at Mobile and New York.
Let the same safeguards be employed
at each port according to its location
and conditions, and yellow fever will
be kept out without any appreciable
injury to the commerce of either. A
steamship line cannot then threaten
to turn its trade to Mobile because
New Orleans has closed her doors to
it, or vice versa.
And il infection should ensue, des-
pite all precautions. then the people
of the South would have some assu-
rance of protection both from the
ravsges Of disease and the senseless
quarantine.
Absolutely the only hope OF South
ern people for permanent relief from
existing conditions is for the Federal
authorities to assume control.

NO NEED For ALARn.

The presence of yellow fever
in a town naturally causes IN.
easiness, but as long as it is con.
fined to one case there is no need
tc be unnecessarily alarmed.
In past years nothing was known
of the manner in which the
disease was propagated, and one
case was, under the circum-
stances, full justification for
panic; for who should know but
what death might Turk in the
very air he breathed. Now how
ever, we know where to look for
infection. It has been demon
strated beyond doubt that the
mosquito is the agent of trans
mission, and knowing that, we
know how to protect ourselves,
and one case need not cause
serious alarm. Bunkie had one
case and the health officers of
Bunkie limited it to one case,
proving that by prompt measures
according to our present knowl-
edge the disease can be stamped

A Terrible Epidemic.
Under the above caption the
New Orleans States Of Aug. Is

yellow fever scare now prevail
ing:
We have some troubles here in
New Orleans, it is true, but we
count ourselves fortunate in
being immune from the terrible
epidemic that appears to be
sweeping over the country from
North to South and from the
Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic
Ocean. The outbreak of yellow
fever in New Orleans and it's
limited spread so far, is scarcely
a circumstance as compared to
the wild and destructive epidemic

c0untrymen outside of New Or.

exceptions, almost to the Canada
line.
We refer to the epidemic of
cold feet, which has been pro-
ductive of such a display of the
baser passions that usually lie
dormant in human nature, and,
only rise to the surface in times
of storm and stress. In Texas,
Mississippi, Alabama and LOFTS

tensity, and has resulted in the
Gripping of local business, the
sOuring of the milk of human

They are so new to pain and loss and

So many things they have TO learn. hard
problems on each hand,
And batied wills and trouble fears--all

dens press
on those who in the forefront stand in
mondays toll and stress;
The aching shoulders, weary heads, and
lugging footsteps plead
For kindly words and loving smiles to
help them in their need.

Swallowed rooms
They brood DER many shattered plans.
and face forebodiug sloons;
so helpless are they and 50 weak, they
need unfailing cheer
To soothe them in their loneliness and
pain and haunting fear.
Be pitiful unto the old; they sit with
Herveless hands,
Apart from life's activities, and count
fast-waning sands;
Their wrinkled faces. failing powers, and
dimming eyes appeal
For patient kindness Of love their low
estate to feel.
Be pitiful, be pitiful, We strong and brave
