QUARANTINE AND
YELLOW FEVER.
Mobile Register.

The New Orleans Picayune, in an
swering a correspondent who suggests
that the immunity of Pensacola, Mo
bile, Gulfport, ETC., from yellow fever,
and the occurrence In recent years of
yellow fever in New Orleans was due
to federal control of quarantine at the
places first named as contrasted with
state control at New Orleans, makes
this statement Z 80
The Picayune, which does not accept
the statements that there has been no
yellow fever at the places mentioned,
is told that the Views EXPRESSED above
give the popular side OF the quarantine
discussion, but they are SO contrary
to real right principle that 1t is i'm
possible to believe ii. In the end truth
will surely prevail, so that no system
Iof suppression can keep it down.
The better answer would be that
Mobile, which was immune, had state
quarantine just as New Orleans had;
and, therefore, the argument of the
correspondent is not a good one, the
facts proving only that. although quar-
antine was Of the same kind in both
places. it was enforced more success
fully in one place than in the other
Instead Of following this course in
the answer, the, Picayune prefers to
hold in question the honesty of the
reports msAe as to health conditions
that existea at Mobile, Pensacola, etc.
We are surprised that at this late day
such suspicion should be expressed
Mobile was thoroughly investigated at
the time New Orleans was having her
great hight with the fever. There were
critics outside who could not under
stand how the fever could be kept out
Of Mobile when it had gained entry
in New Orleans, and Surgeon General
Wyman, melted thereto by representa-
tives of his bureau in Mississippi, sent
a. special fever expert to this city, who
made rigid examination here, in
Whistler and in Plateau, encouraged
and assisted by the local boards of
health and the quarantine officials. He
had view of every case of sickness
known to the medical faculty, and his
report is on record, saying that he
failed to ind any yellow fever here
In addition, we have the positive state
ments of DR.. Rhette Goode, city health
officer, and DR.. p ]. NJ. Acker, county
health officer, and others in authority
all of undoubted professional standing
that there was no fever here in 1905
the year of the visitation that afflicted
New Orleans Still, further, we have
the vital statistics of the board of
health, showing no increase in the nor
NAL rate OF mortality during that sum-
mer and fall Those acquainted with
the character of yellow fever do not
need to be teld that where yellow fever
is present there cannot fail to be a
mark left upon the record of mortality
In view of all this, the Picayune surely
is not justified in expressing suspicion
of the correctness of Mobiles health
history; and we think that paper
should. without any urging, amend its
statement.
