FOR A NATIONAL
QUARANTINE SERVICE.
Jacksonville Metropolis.

The Board of Health of Pensacola
has come to the conclusion that the
national government should assume
charge of all port quarantine matters,
and that city asks the cooperation of
all other cities in securing this as
sumption Of authority. So disguised
has Pensacola and other nearby cities
become at the secreting of yellow fe-
yer at New Orleans until it became
epidemic that they have lost faith in
the honesty and ability of local quar-
antine officials to cope with the dis
ease. If it is demonstrated that the
Marine Hospital Service is the best
and surest agency to contend with
this fatal disease, it should be sought
without hesitancy Some men may
object upon the political dogma that it
is a surrender of state rights to ask
the government to interfere in state
quarantine, but such nonsense in
such emergencies should not be con-
sideTed.
The people of the Southern seaport
towns want immunity from fatal pesti-
lence, and any move to secure such a
thing should be invited regardless of
the political opinions of the non-suf-
ferers.
Pensacola asks that all seaport
towns join her in this request, and
also the reuest that congress pass a
general quarantine law, and we see
no objection whatever to such action
If the nation is more successful and
resourceful in its methods of operat-
ing such law than the states are.
This new feature of petitioning ma
tional aid would probably never have
been suggested had it not been shown
how the disease got into New Orleans
and remained there so long before be-
ing made public. This to a consider
able degree has destroyed the conf
dence Of other seaport towns in the
proper treatment to be accorded
each other under state and local man.
agement. It is asserted that there
will be no secrecy or deception prac-
ticed by the government in regard to
the presence of disease anywhere.
New Orleans has been forced to ask
the government to aid that city, and

from brute force and vindictiveness.
The majesty Of the law is always
present, therefore the occasion is rare,
if indeed it ever occurs, when man
is justified in arming himself in this
enlightened age with deadly weapons
with which he may, in the heat OF
passion, take the life of fellow man.
Too often have the careers OF good
and useful citizens been brought TO
an untimely emo simply because an
Infatuated man carried pistol. There
are in the convict camps in this state
many murderers serving life senten-
ces who would not be where they are
to-day had it not been for the coward
ly resort to arms.
The. sooner the courts measure out
the extreme penalty for such offenses
the sooner will this state be free from
a very bad habit.

THE COURTS ARE
HELD RESPONSIBLE,
st. Augustine Record.

Last week did not close without the
usual record of deaths from Carrying
concealed weapons. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the pistol has caused
more deaths in the South than yellow
fever. In view of the serious condi-
ton of affairs it would be we'll for the
state press to carry on a spirited cam
paign against the evil, with the pur
pose in view of securing effective leg
islation at the next session Of the
state legislature to stamp it out in
Florida.
The Pensacola Journal is one of the
first to call attention to a possible
remedy. That paper calls attention
to the fact that the courts, instead OF
imposing the full penalty of the law
Tor carrying concealed weapons, have
been imposing the minimum penalty
800 fine, without imprisonment
and cites the provisions Of the law
(act of 1901, as follows:
BY imprisonment of not less than
three months nor exceeding six
months, or by fine of not less than
one hundred dollars or exceeding five
hundred dollars, or by both such fine
and Imprisonment"
The position taken by The Journal
is heartily endorsed by John Coilins's
Tallahassee True Democrat, which
says:
TT certainly is the duty of the
courts to do everything in their power
to prevent crime, and nothing they
could do would so effectually act as
a preventive of crimes of violence
than to inflict the maximum penalty
Of the law upon all who violate the
provisions against the carrying OF
weapons"
Public sentiment is decidedly
against the almost common practice of
carrying concealed weapons. There
may be extreme cases in which a man
is justified in arming himself to pro-
tect his life or his property, for ac-
ccrding to proverb, the substance OF
which is older than all written law,
"self-preservation is the first law OF
nature" But that does not justify the
pistol-toting habit The residents Of
this country ENJOY social conditions,
the keynote Of which is far removed
