We are sorry that the Kiowa Journal
has gotten up such sweat and bad odor
over what this paper published last week
concerning kiowas small pox case.
there was no room for ofense. 1t was
stated that the brainless driver in charge
made an inexcusable blunder in dumping
the patient into the business center Of
this city. Every Kiowa official and ev-
cry kiowa citizen has said amen to that;
1t was also stated that the Kiowa off,
Gals regret this blunder; this statement
was authorized by the mayor, the mar
shall and the county physician at Kiowa.
1t was stated, also, that the Kiowa off,
Gals requested the Index to say that the
driver had specific instructions not to
drive into the city. Had we desired to
be unfair, we would not have published
their statement. This paper conceded
and now comedies kiowas right to the
use OF the county pest house, but our
advice was and is that Medicine Lodge
city has no connection with the pesl
house, 1t is rot located in the city, and
that 1t is contrary to law. right and justice
to bring patients suffering with contagious
disease into the city in delivering them tc
the county house. This, also, has beer
endorsed by the people Of Kiiowa and i
so manfestly fair and true that no wei
balanced mind can take exception. Tn,
truth is that Brother Cox has gone of
half cooked. He should re-cock him,
sell, take good aim and studiously avoic
pulling the trigger before he sees wha
he is shooting at. In another column IS il
lustrated the awful FIX he has gotten him
self into. 1t is true that in law a maj
can plead guilty and afterward withdraw
the plea but he is always looked upor
with suspicion. Thy accuser abidetl
under thine own roof, walketh wher
thou walkest. halteth when thou haItes
and suppeth when thou suppest; yea, ev
en- thinkinth thy thoughts and speaketh il
thlre own tongue. Yaw-he, Yaw-he

ldela News paper Fiction

Stories Of newspaper scoops on matters
of current news are many, but it is seldom
that a newspaper can claim beat upon
a popular novel. Such triumph in the
discovery Of popular novel was record
ed recently by the Chicago Record
Herald when it printed serially THE
Wings Of the Morning" by Louis Tracy.
The judgment Of the paper has since
been verified by the unprecedented sale
the book has had both in the United
States and in England. The Record
Herald's keen judgment in fiction enables
its readers to get the best novels often
before they reach the book stands, while
its policy Of giving just the right amount
daily and Sunday makes it pleasure to
follow its serials.
A radical departure in Sunday journal
ism was marked by the advent of the
Sunday Magazine Of the Record-HeraId.
1t is particularly strong in fiction, both
serials and short stories, and it has all the
other attractive features of the famous
illustrated weekles and monthlies and
challenges comparison with them.

IN making stab at this city without any
reason whatever. A man by the name

been in the county to look after business,

ticket to Medicine Lodge with the In
tenton of stopping here a few days.
The conductor told him not to stop
that there had been SIX new small pox
cases in the city that morning and the
town would be guaranteed and he would
not be able to get away if he stopped

ductor or the relief man but whoever il
was, can not be excused. Mr.. Andrews
told T. L. Lindley about it in Kansas
City last week and was surprised to learn
from Mr.. Lindley that the town had
never been quarantined and that the
number Of cases IN the city was limited
to less than twelve. including all suspects

We confess to feeling Of relief at the

ed by criminal libel suit and civil SLAM

We notice in the Wichita papers that
family In that city succeeded in con-
cealing several small pox cases for week
or more and had not been detected until
it was noticed on the children in school.
The family was then rigidly guaranteed
but school and business went ON undis-
turbed. Suppose such condition had
existed here, what would have become
Of our impulsive peopie2 1t is a safe bet
that they would have. stood on their
heads. hgurahvely speaking; they would
not only have tried to force school clos
ing for the balance Of the term but bust
ness men would have found it difficult to
have kept their doors unlocked. In cities
where some sort Of contagious disease
exists the year around people have learn
ed to be calm, sane and business-Eke.
They isolate and properly take care of
cases that actually exist, but they do not
discommode people who are not afflicted.
The practice Of stopping the wheels of
progress and hiding away in a dungeon
because Of mild contagon is obsolete
and by intelligent people Is recognized as
relic Of by-goue days.
