The Scarle, Fever Situation.

tue same as yesterday. There are no
new cases reported aud those down with
the disease are getting along as we'll rs

While no new cases have developed,
it should not be considered that the con-
tagion has spent It's force. The
scarlet fever Is here, and every pre-
caution should be taken to prevent
its spread. It is much easier to DO
careful il this matter than it will
be to pay the penalty that ia sure 10 fol-
low Il careless course OF action on tile
part OF any portion Of Il people.
While there is a difference OF opinion
ON The part OF the physicians regarding
The disease no. prevalent among the
children OF Elko, whatever IL may be it
is contagious. Nothing will be gained
by qnarrellinR over the name OF the dis
case. For the sake Of the children, let
us call 1t scarlet fever and throw around
them every guard that viii protect the IN
from the contagion.
To this end, there should bc no pub
gatherings OF tho people for any put-
pose until all danger OF nh epidemic il

The Hague conference keeps right
on framing rules for the game as if
war were the only international sport
Evidently there are delegates at the
conference who have never become
acquainted with the only authorita-
tive and terse definition of war ever
promulgated. This definition is cred
tied to General sherman, and 1t only
required three words to give it the
worst character known this side of
the place he identified it with. To
try to make war anything different
by regulating the method of dropping
shells. Of using dum-dum bullets and
Of using balloons over undefended
towns strikes us as very inadequate
for a great peace conference, If war
is TO be treated as a game Of skill,
and not as the most lnhuman meth
cd of accomplishing national ambi-
tions, why not reduce it at once to a
basis of the fake war maneuvers en-
gagged in by our national guard and
along our coast? With fair judges
and a good umpire international diff
ferences might then be settled with as
much ease as an International football

THE PUBLICITY CURE.


Under the above caption the Tue
son Citizen has the following edito-
rial. in which It states some we'll
known facts in plain and forceful
terms:
when public officials fail in their
duty. considering private compacts
as more binding than public pledges,
and when as a result the disreputable
element in community exult in
bfazen assurance of immunity from
the law. there still remains means
whereby public decency may be main
tanned, in the existence of an unshack-
led press. The publicity cure is a
remedy OF powerful efficacy and one
which in the long run. never fails.
Its searching rays penetrate the
darkest corners Much may exist and
be tolerated. Of disgraceful import, so
long as ii is kept in secret, but once
let the tale of an official mis-doing
Or of unlawful practices being carried
on with official connivance. be set
forth and published to the world in
cold type and the most brazen of Of
tenders capitulate.
Publicity directed without malice
and in the interest of law observance
is the best possible agent available for
maintaining that proper respect for
laws and for public morality which
the community has a right TO exact.
ITO wage war continuously and
successfully in the cause of clean gov
ernment and law observance Is one Of
the best objects which a worthy news
paper exists for. 1t is also the course
in which it receives the support and
applause of the great majority of
right-thinking citizens existing in
nearly every community.
The publicity cure may be caustic,
but certain ills can only respond to
caustic applications.

Upon returning home from hop
picking Friday morning family
named Morgan, South Tenth street,
near the fair grounds, discovered
that their residence had been broken
into and several articles, including a
suit of mans clothing, several razors
and Jack knives had been stolen. The
theft had taken place only short
time before their arrival, as one Of
the neighbors had seen a man loiter-
ing around the premises at the time.
The sheriff's office as notified at once
and Deputy Sheriff Grant immedi-
ately started in pursuit of the cul-
prit, who he found in a blacksmith
shop in the vicinity of the Northern
Pacific depot. The fellow, who gave
his name as Dave Williams, was
wearing the suit at the time of his
arrest. The Morgans claim that they
had securely fastened all OF the doors
and windows before leaving home.
