Success Of Fight Depends
Upon People Themselves.

Regarding the fever situation both
in Pensacola and elsewhere the Tam
pa Times makes the following very
sensible comment:
While the is nothing more Of a
depressing character IN me fever re-
port from Pensacola than was 10 have
been expected. and while there is lit
tie or no probability that the disease
VIII spread to any great extent, II is
to be regretted that the people do not
willingly and cheerfully cooperate
with DR.. Porter TO the full extent Of
their ability. Is is upon the conduct
OF the people more than any other
thing that depends the efficiency and
success OF those preventive measures
upon which reliance must be placed.
New Orleans makes about the report
that was to be expected on Monday,
when the arrears Of the past week
are carried forward The authorities
are more than holding their own, and
there is reason to believe that they
viii continue to do so until frost
comes-eveu If they do not virtually
suppress the fever. In a. city the size
and character Of New Orleans II IS
practically impossible to have all the
cases reported, and each one that is
concealed is a source Of danger to the
entire community.
In other infected localities good pro
gress is being made. Leeville, La,
furnishes a good instance Of how the
fever runs I'm communities which do
not invoke and cooperate with the
health authorities. Practically every
person IN the place has had the fever,
with a considerable proportion OF
deaths. MONTGOMERY, Shreveport
Na-chez and other Incorporated cities
have shown how the disease may be
checked and subdued by proper effort.
It is to be hoped the people of Pensa-
cola win change their tactics, If cor
rectly reported as not cooperating
with the state board. It would be
better for them and for the people OF
the state.
Generally speaking. the situation is
not at All bad so far as concerns the
progress and extension Of the disease,
and it affords good ground for behet
that in the future it VIII be success
fully controlled.
So far as Pensacola people are con
cerned. The Journal is pleased to
state that no one Of any Importance
Is any longer bucking the health Off
Gals in any way.
Practically Pensacola's entire citi-
zenshiD is now working tremendously
with Dr. Porter. DR.. Anderson and the
other officials, in their efforts 20 con-
troll the fever.
The city IS cleaner now and in a
better sanitary condition generally
than ever in its history, and the work
Of cleaning up" Is still going on with
undated vigor. Within ten days
Pensacola viii not only be the clean
est city on the Gulf coast, but she
win have then as she has now less
disease than she nas ever had before.

BY A. j. Whitson.
An editor sat on the bank Of stream,
Way down in Tennessee,
Somebody said he was trying to fish
Didn't look Ike fishing to me,
He was holding a pole-thats all very
true,
The cork on the water foated;
But his eyes were red and his stomach
and head
Looked ike a man who was bloated.
On one side there sat a bucket of bait
On the other a bottle of brandy
He said the mosquitoes ana snakes
were bad
And he kept the snake cure handy.
While fishing away one very hot day,
A new plan entered mis- head.
His bottle was empty, his bait was all
He wished the mosquitoes were
dead.
But the plan was as good as I ever
heard.
And I'll tell you it worked first rate.
For all that the editor had to do,
Was to furnish the tackle and bait.
And a poor young man, without bottle
or brains
Was sent to the creek instead.
While the editor peacefully sat on his
throne,
Feasting on fish and bread.
The young man brought in the fish
each day,
How happy the editors fate
To have fish at home and no fishing
to do;
To have the snake cure and no
snake

Unanimous Sentiment
for Federal Quarantine.

The sentiment for a federal quaran-
tine system is not only growing but it
seems to be almost unanimous
throughout the south. One of the
strong friends of the system is The
Tradesman, published at Chattanooga,
which was one of the original advo-
Gates Of a federal quarantine. The
. Tradesman says:
o. when the editorial favoring federal
sanitary supervision of southern cities
was written. and which appeared in
the last issue of The Tradesman. there
had been no suggestion OF such per
manent control I'm any quarter that
come under our observation. but since
then the Pensacola Board of Trade
has passed strong resolutions in favor
of this being done. and a number OF
southern papers have approved the
same.
Tx there was any reason or cause for
the federal government 10 take charge
at any stage of the present epidemic,
the same and even stronger reasons
exist why that charge should be per
manent and absolute.
To Is in no sense a question of de-
mestc rule. as some few have urged
as a reason against such control. but
it lis one Cminently under the duty Of
interstate protection. just as distinct
as any other can possibly be. The
quarrel that occurred between the gov
errors of Louisiana and Mississippi is
evidence Of the dangerous tendencies
of this domestic control that some
contend for. while the h8rshuess OF
quarantine against neighbOring states
and cities. together with the damage
and ill-feeling they engender makes a
clear case for federal jurisdiction and
obligation.
Then under the theory Of proven
ton being better than cure. the Jos
sibilitv of the recurrence % yellow
fever az any point should De brought
10 a minimum. and this can only be
hoped for by having government sup
ervisi0n over the entire question OF
sanitation. The matter Of admitting
q low class Of immigrants into these
southern cities is one for the federal
government 10 control and absolutely
prevent. for 90 has been shown hOw
great a menace Is such q population
20 the entire south.
There must be. power and authority
behind such sanitary inspection as viii
prove efficient in preventing epidemics
Of yellow fever. and this must be free
from the ieal0usies OF possible politics
OF localities. hence Sc seems 20 us
clearly apparent that there should be
but ore mind al through the south on
this subject. and the matter should Re
placed az once and forever under Jed
eral control.
Tho Trsdesmsn has the proper idea
and Sc IS En- Inc with what practically
every paper IN the south is now adro-
catinE. II We get a federal Quaran-
tine system as q result OF the yellow
fever this year 6 win be worth more
in dollars and cents TO the south than
al that the disease has cost as in
money and loss o. business this year

JUDGE JONES FOR REELECTION.

Intoday's Graphic the announce ment of Judge w. D. Jones for re- election to the office of prosecuting attorney appears. In presenting Judge Jones name to the voting public of this circuit, there is one thing to be said about him; he is per haps the most popular official in Jef- ferson county today Judge Jones' popularity with his constituents is so great that so far none has had the temerity to anounce in oposition to him. nor IS it likely that any one will do so at this late stage. Judge W. D. Jones is too we'll known 10 the people of Jefferson county and the d strict that he has the honor to rep. resent to need any antroduction from the pen of any newspaper man. His reputation it too broad and his char acter too well appreciated on the part of the public to merit any comment. If reelected to the office he now holds, the voters will make no mis- take in their choice, as has been de monstrated by the experience of the past.

THE ORGAN GRINDER AND HIS MONKEY MADE THEIR APPEARANCE ON
 SATURDAY. They Are Rapidly Disappearing and Restricted in Their Territory
 Every Year

The appearance of two hand organ men with their monkeys in the city
 recalls many a memory of the past
 with those who have reached the
 stage in life's maturity where they
 begin their retrospection.
 The hand-organ man and monkey! mind as one stands and gaZes upon them. What a wealth of remini- cencss cluster about the worn old organ, the grinder with his worn, tat tered and misfitting garments and the little old monkey, with his dingy suit of red pants and coat and cap, as he jumps in fantastic manner to the sound of the nerve racking old or gan and doffs his cap nervously when one contributes penny. His antics never grow old to the young, how ever and the children surrounding him as the proprietor of the equip ment makes his way up one street and down another speak eloquently of the time long past when grown spectators too, were children and fol- lowed the squeaking old organ around the square of some little country town where even foreigner, to say noth- ing of the monkey, was a novelty.
 The hand organ and the monkey are rapidly disappearing. Their op- erations are confined each year to a more restricted territory, for with the progress of enlightment and edu- cation along practical lines, the chil- dren are Becoming more familiar with things that were rarest novel; ties to the grown folks of the pres- ent age.

pCAAAN
 some additional improvement is not ed
 Lakeside and the south end of town are keeping full pace with this universal progress. The residents of Lakeside five years ago would scarcely recognize it today as the same piece it was then. The same remark applies to South Main, where for blocks and blocks, the district IS settling up with newcomers, who are erecting new houses or improving the old ones. The paving of this street will add materially to it's popu- larity as a residence district.
 Such is the present prosperity Pine Puff is enjoying. There is cause fer all th's enterprise somewhere. and one need not go far to discover it. With all her wealth of natural re- sources behind her, W tn the bright est possible prospects for her future and with the acQulrefheht ol SUCH ao aitional railway facilities as to make sure her continued commercial pros per'ty, the city just now is one of the most inviting spots on the whole green earth for the n-.in who wants Tn succeed in almost any line of lusiness in the world. Real estate in Pire Bluff today is one of the best nossible Investments that any man could make anywhere at any time. This fact is so we'll recognized among those who are thoroughly familiar with local conditions that the remark seems commonplace enough.

Smith was arraigned in police court SaHrlay morning and assessed a fine q $50 for carrying concealed weapore h rum. magine through his effects Saturday after court City Detective Fl Cheek made an important discoyerY-oa he was looking for ever since ha had lain eyes on the negro. It was a pawn ticket calling for watch. Taking the ticket and securing possession of the watch, the city detective found again just what he was looking for a part of the property stolen from 2 store in McGehce several nights aro when two negroes burglarized t,e place. It will be remembered that one of the negroes was arrested by the of fcers here, but the other escaped The one now in custody had the pistol and the watch stolen from the store and the officers feel confident that they have the right party.

TT CONTINUES RIGHT ALONG IN PINE BLUFF REGARDLESS
 OF WINTER.
No Particular Section Favored, But improvements Making in Every
 Part of the City.

Pine Bluffs building boom con- tinues unabated, and while the Graph ic is unable today to present list of tto new Improvements begun during the past week, one has only to ride out over the city in any direct on for verihcation of the statement that the city continues to grow at the most marvellous rate in all it's history. Few people, even those living in the city, have a conception of the tremendous proportions which the city is acquiring. Those who have been accustomed to trudging the streets in the business districts only. or some particular section of the resi- dence portion of town, without get ting out over the city generally, real ly do not know the magnitude of the town as it is today. There are even citizens of Pine Bluff, who have been residents here for five ten or twenty years, who do not know they are liv. 1t was seven years ago. Nor do they know that at the present rate of growth it will double it's present popu- lation in five years more. Such, however, are the actual facts, and sta tics1Hs, easily obtainable if one has the time and inclination to make a personal investigation.
 It appears that no particular sec tion of the city is any more favored than the other portions. Wherever one goes, north, south, east of west, one goes, north, south, east or west, improvement prevalent.
