GREENVILLE
DURING THE
QUARANTINE

The health of Greenville still con-
tinues good and as yet there have
been no suspicious cases of fever of
any kind to excite the people
The city is perfectly quarntined
from the outside world and we can't
see, if it is kept UP, any reason for
fear OF yellow fever here.
AT present no one except from the
Northern States can get a permit to
enter the city at all, and these have to
have health certificates from the city
they hail from, and also proof that
they have been living there for six
days preceding their arrival
Dr. Percy Toombs, the city health
officer, is working early and late put
ting the city in hrst-class sanitary
condition Two detention camps have
been established, one north and the
other east OF the city, bit as yet only
two persons have been held awaiting
Developments Neither of these cases
were sick, but according TO the rules
of the quarantine they were required
to remain there six days be.ef be
ing allowed to enter the city
The committee of five meets three
times day to hear petitions for per.
mits, but the number who apply IS
growing less every day.
Business continues ut standstili
but nothing better is expected until
frost or the fever has been wiped out,
which can hardly now be expected
with the hold il has in New Orleans.

ALP If the people of the United States
do not want to become citizens of a
financial autocracy masquerading as
a democracy, they must control their
congressman and senators. If these
officials can not be controlled they
should be sent to the political ceme-
terry. The people can do anything if it
chooses Just now there is a very un-
happy federal crowd in more than
one state of the union. We have been
investigating and talking and lament
ing. Now let us do something! Let us
brighten our congressman and sena-
tors into doing what they ought to do
and what we want them to do. Pri-
maries and ballots and letters and
votes of censure will do in America
what revolution is doing in Russia.
Even the senate is not a close corpora
ton. Russia has taught US one lesson
at least: An autocracy is no stronger
than its subjects choose to have it"

KEEP TIE BAIL ROLLING.

A few weeks ago a company of rep
resentative Kansas men gathered and
decided that Kansas should appro-
priately celebrate the fftieth ami
versary of its existence as a state by a
great semi-centenniaI exposition in
1911. Not only the Kansas newspa-
pers took the subject up for discus
sion, but the press from one end of
the country to the other talked
about it.
The thing to do now is to keep it
going; to discuss ways and means of
bringing people to Kansas to enjoy the
exposition, and of entertaining them
after they come.
Above everything else the exposition
must be original. 1t will be generally
acknowledged that the old style of
worlds fair is pretty well worn out.
There must be q. change in fashion in
order to be entertaining. 1t will not
be necessary to excel in size previous
expositions but it will be necessary to
make first class what we do have.
The primary purpose of this ex-
position will, of course, be to show the
world what great advancement this
empire here in the middle west has
made since the pioneers first began to
conquer the wilderness IIly years ago,
and to set forth it's resources and ad-
vantages in a manner to induce others
to make their homes here. To do that
every part of the state should be repre-
| scented in an appropriate manner.
Kansas has tremendous resources. It's
! agriculture is unsurpassed. In wheat
it leads the world. and in corn it is
rapidly approaching the lead. Its
other farm and live stock products are
/ tremendous. By 1911 western Kansas
will be producing great quantities Of
sugar. The states natural gas its oil,
/ it's salt its zinc, its coal. are great
| sources of wealth. Its manufacturing
industries are coming to the front. In
/ education and intelligence no state
surpasses it.
All of these things must be placed
before the world in a striking manner
when Kansas entertains. and to get
the benefit of it each community
should do its best. 1t is none too soon
to begin the discussion of ways and
means to secure the best results. Now
that it is started. keep the ball rolling.
