National Quarantine Law
Not Yet Settled.

Last Tuesday the house Of represen
Eatfves passed a national quarantine
bin, but it was not the one which il
had received from the senate and con
sequently the matter will now have tC
be referred back to the senate for &C
ton there. The house bin, summariz
ed, is as follows:
Eirst-It authorizes the secretary OF
the treasury, through the marine hos
pital and public health service, to es-
tablish a uniform and efficient quaran.
tine system along our seacoast, and
thereby prevent the importation OF
yellow fever into the country.
Second-It appropriates $5O0,OOO for
preventing the importation Of yellow
EeveF, and for the further purpose, in
cooperation with the state and mu.
hicipal health authorities, Of eradicat-
ing it should it be imported; in pre-
venting its spread from state to state,
and Of destroying its cause wherever
same may De nOund.
Third-It makes it unlawful for any
one to interfere with common carriers
fn the transportation of freight or
passengers between the states.
It is said that the third clause will
meet with opposition in the senate
and a struggle is expected, Senator
Mallory being unalterably opposed to
it.
It seems to The Journal that the
third clause is a perfectly reasonable
one and the bill is better with it than
1t would be WITHOUT it However, il
we cannot get the bin any other way,
IL viii still be better than nothing
even with that clause eliminated.

| bile's county physician. upon the
treatment of Mobile county cOnvicts
at the Flat Top mines shows up a
conditions Of affairs there that are a
disgrace to the state. That condi-
tons were as diabolical at the time
of an official visit, what must they
! be when no official is there to OBJ
/ serve them. There should be some
way to remedy such conditions as DR..
Ward reports and in a way that
would bring punishment with the
remedy by criminal prosecution. The
fact that a man is a criminal gives
no justification for a state or a
county treating him as brute. The
state IS supposed to imprisOn her
criminals, not only for the protection
Of society. but also for their moral
improvement, but according to DR..
Wards report the Flat Top mines is
school of crime. where the young
are corrupted instead of benefited,
in comparison with which other
schools of the kind must be sought
in the forbidden quarters Of denseIS
populated cities. 1t would be better
for the good name of the county of
Mobile that her county cOnvicts be
kept at home and worked upon the
public roads, even with the cash ex-
penditures which go with such a sys-
TEN of convict labor. than for the
county to eke out a few dollars of
profit through hiring them out o
live under such conditions which DR.
Ward founT at the Flat Top mines
Sacrificing public morality for the
saving Of few dollars is a costly
and corrupting. economic policy.
It is Just such developments as
have been shown in this case that
will sooner or later lead to the aboli-
ton of the whole convict lease sys-
TEN. There are only a few states in
the union where it exists and the
cnly plea in support of it anywhere
is that ID is profitable to the state
But We have grave doubts as to the
correctness even Of that contention,
and when it comes to a matter of
morals and of public duty to the un-
fortunate class of people over whom
the state must thus assume control
there can be no question regarding
the absolute pefniciousness of the
entire system.

The Disgraceful Condition
In the Alabama Convict Camp.

The disgraceful. condition Of affairs
which has developed at the Flat Top
mines convict camp in Alabama, as
commented on is yesterdays Journal,
as being roun6ay condemned by the
newspapers Of Mobile. The Register
says:
Dr. Wards report upon the situa-
zion Of Mobile county convicts at
Flat Top mine in Jefferson county
makes humanity blush. The system
lis at fault What right have we to
punish cOnvicts in that manner? Is
that not cruel and UnSual punish
ment, that is forbidden by the cOnsti-
tuition? True. it is not so very IN
usual because il is the practice in
this state as far as relates to county
cOnvicts, but it ought to be unusual
for 1t is cruel and contrary to the
spirit in which punishment is ad-
Judged.
Moreover, it is punishment pure
and simple, and has not in it The
slightest reformation element. Very
many men are criminals by accident
or by environment: seldom by
choice 1t would seem TO be our
duty to ourselves to create a better
environment and try to rescue the
unfOrtunates. Work in the fields or
On the roads would be better for
these men. both morally and physi-
cally: anH Industrial training would
be better still
Il should be the duty of the state
and county 10 turn out a better man
rhsn they take in; TO teach the
vicious and criminal that there is
virtue in an honest occupation. We
recall that il was said Of the admin
sstrariOn Of the Belize prison that
many a man dates his beginning of
an useful career Nld good citizenship
from the day Of his entry into that
Sail: for there he learned to read and
write. and how TO use his hands in
industrial work. Ii does appear that
We, who enjoy the blessings Of high
er civilization are remiss when we
fall TO take hold of this problem ana
solve il intelligently.
The first step should be To take
the cOnvicts out of the mines and
from under the control Of private
parties entirely; and put them to
work at healthy and improving occu-
pationS. There is no reason whv
these occupations should not be made
gainful as far as the state and the
county are concerned; but We Go not

A woman may be a good wife
simply because she is a good woman;
but she is not a successful" wife un-
less she is a good manager-unless
she has executive knack'-the abil-
ity to do things in the easiest and
best way; the ability to reduce home
annoyances to their lowest terms; to
keep things running merely
as smoothly as her husband does in
his Office, but a great deal more so.
She must manage her home so well
that no one would suspect that it
was managed at all.
None Of the Colleges for Women
teach the art Of writing want ads, .
and yet il has become an essential
part Of a woman's education.
None Of the magazines for women

The Way the Sneak Thief In Mexico
Pldes His Trade.

The Way the Sneak Thief In Mexico
Pldes His Trade.
In Mexico the sneak thief has his
business down to a science. The IA
vOred manner of stealing is from the
houses. Most of the buildings are but
Dne story high, and the doors are kept
closed and locked. The windows are
as large as the doors and extend to the
floor. To keep the thieves out of the
house they are protected with heavy
iron bars, but the Mexican sneak thief
has found a way to overcome this diff
ficulty.
Because Of the lowness Of the win
dow he can look into the room and
"spot'' the articles he wishes. Then he
waits until the occupant of the room
is in some other part Of the house. A
bamboo pole about as long as a fishing
rod is produced, to which is attached
a piece of string with a fish hook on
the end.
The thief, by practice, can cast the
hook so that It viii catch on almost anv
article In the room. no matter how far
it may be from the window. Slowly
it is drawn forward and pulled through
the bars.
In this manner articles are taken or
the bureau or tables, rugs snatcbed
from the floor and bedcIothes from
the bed Clothing left on chairs or
hanging on the wall Is easily removed.
The thieves do not even wait until the
occupants are out Of the room in all
cases. There have been cases where
men and women who were undressing
in their rooms have lost clothing while
their backs were turned to the window.
The Pensacola journal., 1906-04-06

Governor Broward, believing that
he cannot get a proper hearing by sub
mitting his side of the drainage case
to the papers which have shown such
rancor in discussing the drainage
proposition, has issued an open letter
to the people of Florida, which gives
in the clearest possible manner the
reasons for undertaking the great i'm
provement.
This letter is being sent out to the
voters of the state and will have the
effect of keeping the peoples mind
clear on a subject that is being stu
diously misstated and olbscured by
the papers which nave declared their
hostility to the governor and the
drainage Of the Everglades.
1t is too long document to repro
duce in full, although the Evening Rec
ord would be glad to do so if it could.
The governor makes some very in
teresting and telling points in favor
Of the prosecution of the scheme
One of the first is that when he was
a candidate for the govarnorship he
announced his platform on this great
question and was elected on the prop
Osition that he would do what he
could to reclaim the lands belonging
to the people, and which included is
that vast tract known as the Ever
glades.
He claims and quotes a decision
OF the supreme court of this state
in support Of his claim, that it is the
duty Of the trustees of the internal
improvement fund to make such ar
rangements for the drainage of the
swamp and Overflowed lands of the
state as shall be most advantageous.
The Pensacola journal., 1906-04-06

The governor is simply carrying
out the provisions Of the law and IS
doing it in the most business-llke
and direct way.
The funds to be used are either
those raised specifically for the pur
pose or are to be those which are to
be raised from slight tax on those
lands to be directly benefited by the
drainage.
The governor shows most conc'u-
sively that the scheme is entirely
practicable, and that it mas the en-
dorsement of some Of the most emf
nent engineers and scientists.
He shows that the vast territory
involved is peculiarly adapted to
the growing of sugar cane, one OF
the most valuable producis known to
the country. He shows that nowhere
else in the whole country can such
another body of land be gotten to-
gether for the production of the SUI
gar cane, and proves that the coun-
try as a whole pays out more every
year for sugar than it realizes in
money for all its exports of wheat,
wheat flour, naval stores and beef
put together.
A half a million acres of the land
proposed to be drained, so the gov
ernor proves, would supply the de-
mand of the country for sugar So far
as to stop all further importation. The
mind can hardly conceive of the val
ue of the lands for this one purpose
only.
And yet there are those who pose
as enterprising and loyal citizens Of
the state who would obstruct this
great enterprise.

Tell me about 1t, please" Terry
leaned forward. 1t was not often now
adays that her eyes betrayed as much
interest In what Jack had to say. He
made the most Of the opportunity,
dwelling long on the simple, old fash
ioned observances that had served to
make that day stand out still in his
memory.

Jack pointed to a road on the other
side Of the track. ''Three miles in that

Jack sprang down from the car

Taken by surprise, Terry consented.
Five minutes later Terry started as

When Jack came back she met his
