The Quarantine and Immigration
Conference.
associated Press Report, in Houston Post

Associated Press Report. in Houston Post
Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. 1O-FOur-
teen Southern States, through their
governors, senator's, congressman,
and other representative citizens,
made known their wishes Us to the
relations of the State to the Federal
government in the matters of quaran-
tine and immigration. After a dis
cussiOn of two days, the Southern
conference on quarantine and immi-
grafton ignored the construction Of
the doctrine of State rights, which
many eloquent orators had sought to
apply to the questions at issue, and met
the problems in abusinesslike manner
and with . plan which only experience
q show how to amend with profit.
The question of immigration was
overshadowed in all the discussions
by that of quarantine. From the first
the 800 delegates seemed to agree on
the constitutional right and duty of
the Federal government to control
maritime and foreign quarantine.
Through all the conference spirited
debate was almost continuous as to
the constitutionslity of Federal con-
troll of interstate health matters. Gov
ernOr Nsrdaman of Mississippi was .
firm advocate of the construction of
the doctrine of State rights which
should prevent the interference of
Federal authority in State affairs.
Governor Blanchard of Louisiana
declared that the doctrine of State
rights could have no place in the ar-
gument. He insisted that the Federal
constitution makes it plainly the duty
Of the Federal government to exercise
such functions. Both leaders had
many followers. Congressman John
Sharp Williams, whose late appear
ance in the conference prevented his
participation in the earlier debate,
poured oil on the troubled waters, and
- chairman of the quarantine COM
mittee which formulated the resolu-
tons upon that branch of the confer
ence work, presented q report, which
was adopted with but one dissenting
vote-thst Of Senator Mallory Of
Florida.

AMEND IMMIGRATION LAW

Whereas, The President of the
United States has recommended to
congress the passing Of certain changes
in the present immigration laws of
this country with q view of making it
more difficult for the pauper and COM
mercial classes to enter our country.
This recommendation embraces q bet
ter system of immigrants, both at the
ports of embarkation and arrival ;
therefore. be it
Resolved by this conference of repre-
sentatives of the South, That we here
by indorse and approve these recon-
mendations and request all the senator's
and representatives of the Southern
States to aid in securing the passage
of such amendments to existing immi-
grafton laws as will tend to obtain
the objects sought.
Resolved, That this convention
recommends to each Of the Southern
States the establishment of an immi-
grafton bureau to be maintained by
sufficient appropriation.
The only session of the second and
closing day Of the conference found
several papers unread from the pre-
vious days program. The food of
oratory which continued until almost
midnight Thursday had necessarily
postponed much business planned for
the opening day. NJ. J.. Sanders,
president OF the New Orleans Progress
sise Union, was the first speaker, tax
ing the question, Quarantine, Its
Commercial Aspects"
Only one other paper was presented
at to-day's session. It was by DR.. w.
81. Sanders, health officer of Alabams.
His subject, "Public Health, How to
Protect It," was treated exhaustively.

unfortunate, because il leaves the inn

some reason for not wanting it known

chief executive and his friends will
give us chance to evidence our well
come in every possible way. and will
remain as long as they possibly can.
The governor u.s. here to inspect
the troops but will doubtless find
time to meet the people socially and
renew the pleasant relations of for
mer visits. The demands on a public
official especially on the highest one
in the state, are many, and the feel

most people who have always been
private citizens, can conceive of. But

Governor Beckham, and he has chang

characteristic affabilty and courtesy.
When the people of Paducah meet
him aud welcome him to the best we
have 10 offer, their pleasure may be
enhanced by the thought that in
few years they may be addressing
him as United States Senator Beck

On behalf OF Paducah We welcome
the governor, and trust his visits to
