fact that the large insuance companies

The Public Schools Are All Open and
the Attendance Is Good-The Situa-

New Orleans, Oct. Sup to noon to-
day there were 21 new cases of yeI-
low fever and two deaths.
New Orleans, Oct. 3.-Cloudy wealth
er continues here and more rain is
predicted, but the fever situation is
| steadily mending and the fears that a
long spell of rainy weather would cause
an appreciation in the number of cases
and the changes of temperature affect
the sick adversely have not been real
| lied.
The explanation is found in the re-
duction of points of infection and the
effectiveness of the precautions against
mosquito breeding.
In addition to the public schools,
| half a dozen private schools and col
leges have opened, and all the others
will be open by the end of the month.
Dr. Warner has called meeting
for Wednesday night of all the heads
of the volunteer organizations to plan
the general cleanup for Oct. IA and Is.
The aim in part of this work is to
show the president a reasonably clean
town.
Further advices are received by the
success of DR.. Whites trip in the SUI
gar parishes. There is a shortage
of 10000 laborers in the fields, and it
is expected that Dr. Whites work will
be of material assistance to the plant
ers in making up the deficiency.
Prospects Grow Brighter.
With centers of foci being wiped out
new cases falling in number, the list
of sick being reduced and the death
roll showing no appreciation, the fe-
yer situation is taking on brighter
aspect every day, both as to the city
and country.
One death occurred yesterday in
the whole, outside Of New Orleans, and
there is a shrinkage in the number of
points favorable to President Souchon's S
suggestion of lifting quarantines or
at least making considerable modif1ca-
ton of them by the middle of the
month, or perhaps a week later, and
if the improvement here is maintain
ed there will probably be many COM
munities willing to take the risk of
reopening communication.
Railroad officials are receiving in
quiries as to the possibility of excur-
sions into the city at the time of the
presidents visit, the date for which
having been extended two days, makes
it more probable that at the time of
his coming the fever will have been
practically wiped out.
In many sections of Louisiana frost
ought to occur shortly thereafter.
Superintendent Easton has comp1et
ed list of the public school enroll
ment for the opening day. With four
schools closed, the figures were 19, ,533.
Last year they were 24,969 The show.
Ing is considered a fine one in view of
the fact that there are still many
people out of town, while in the city
some parents have postponed the send
ing of their children to the schools
until the middle of the month.
Health Officer Kohnke in an inter-
view today expresses the opinion tlat
by reason of the precautions that are
being taken, children will be more
safe in the school room than in their

THE LOs ANGELES PLAN.

| If Los Angeles makes its proposed ex-
! pertinent with handling the liquor traf-
hc, Kansas will watch it with a great
deal of interest. It must be admitted
that Kansas plan of governing the sa-
loon is not as successful as it might
be in some localities Of the state and
any Improvement is certainly worth in
vestigating.
In California there is local option, and
a number of the towns and cities of
Southern California have a better grade
Of prohibition than has Topeka. All
the richer places. enjoy prohibition
Redlands, Riverside, Pasadena and 9th
ers. The same sentiment is growing
in Los Angeles, but it is not yet in
the majority. for Los Angeles recently
gave a decisive vote in favor of the
saloon.
Now proposition is made to the city
council to give one corporation a mon
opoly of the saloon business in Los An
geles. It agrees to reduce the number
of drinking places from 200 to rs; to
do away with them entirely in the resi-
dence portions OF the city; to limit
their profits to six per cent, so that
there shall be no temptation to make
more drunkard and thus increase their
business; and to pay the city 1885,
900 annually.
This proposition purports to come
from a temperance organization which
desires to reduce drinking as much as
possible. but it may be that the liquor
dealers are back of it in order to keep
the city from entirely prohibiting the
traffic. At any rate. the proposition
has good points over the ordinary high
license plan.
Prohibition. or any other method Of
controlling the liquor business. is only
a means to an end. The end is to do
away with the crime, the misery, the
vice. the debauchery, the suffering, and
the general meanness which accom-
panies the drink traffic. Theoretically,
prohibition will do it completely. Com
plete prohibition win do it. The ma
jority of the people of Kansas believe
prohibition is more effective than any
other plan, because people who engage
in the liquor business will try to evade
whatever laws are enacted to regulate
them, and the more stringent the laws,
the more perfect will be the regulation,
provided there are the right kind of Of
fcers behind the laws.
However, if Los Angeles or any other
community can invent a better method
than prohibition for doing away with
the results of drunkenness, Kansas is
willing to learn. What is wanted is
not a method that will keep men from
selling liquor so much as a method
that will do away with the crime and
wretehedness resulting from drinking.
That's the thing.
