The Early Case.

When John Early was officially pro-
claimed a leper by the health officer of
the District of Columbia he was properly
confined. under the operation Of the con-
tagious diseases act, in an isolated place
He was given the best possible accom-
modations in view Of the fact that the
District had never before guarded a per-
son afflicted with this disease. In the
circumstances the Districts treatment Of
Early was considerate and humane When
later the question arose as to the ac-
curacy of the diagnosis he was given the
benefit Of medical counsel and as con-
sequence permission was granted for his
removal to New York for treatment.
After time he was pronounced cured
of the disease from which he was suf-
fering, which was there declared to be
not leprosy, but non-contagious affection
OF the skin. On the strength Of this de-
velopment of the case the United States
pension office struck him from the rolls
as a leper, he having for some time
drawn a pension as a sufferer from that
disease contracted while in the military
service.
AS the case now stands Early is still
officially borne on the books of the Dis
trtct of Columbia as a leper, but has been
declared by recognized medical authorities
In New York. and also by the United
States government to be free from tnat
disease. Thus a conflict of authority
exists. Early has returned to the city
for the transaction of certain business,
thereby claiming the right of Tree access
to the capital. The health officer has
caused his arrest under the contagious
diseases act and the case now awaits ad-
justment In court.
An interesting situation thus has de-
velOped, with the official records of the
District of Columbia and the United
States government at variance upon a
question affecting the freedom of an In
dividual. Whether it was wise to raise
this Issue by causing the arrest of Early
is not now material in view of the fact
that the man Is in custody. That Ques-
ton may be considered later in a review
Of the case, which promises wide ramifi-
cations. involving the right of a local
government to protect itself from disease
contagion and also the right of the In
dividual to avail himself of official dec
larations of health which have involved
him in pecuniary loss.

requires no special keenness of observa-
ton to demonstrate that unrestricted
freedom of the streets Is bad for the
children. 1t is bad for them physically
and morally and mentally. 1t exposes
them to dangers which, with their ex-
ceptional aptitude for absorption and i'm
itation. work infinite evil upon them In
the years of habit formation. Much OF
the work of the courts today in dealing
with adult criminals and degenerates Is
the fruit of the unwhoIesome liberty
granted to them in their tender years.

down the number of cases in the Juvenile

Railroads and the Public.


The railroad, whether 1t wishes 1t or
not, holds different ground in the public
regard from that of any other industry.
1t is a public service corporation, deriv-
ing its right to run trains, carry pas
sengers and earn dividends from the peo-
pie themselves. 1t cannot shut its dOlngs
behind the stone wall of secrecy. Much
has been given to 1t, and much Is expected
Of it And in any event it cannot right
fully claim to be immune from discussion
Of the freest and fullest sort. II rail-
roads operations are to suffer because
the public is informed of them, those
operations ought not to succeed.

The Crime of Zelaya.
ON the Philadelphia Press


The prompt and energetic action taken
by our government in the case Of MIC
aragua is what we would naturally ex-
pect Of an administration governed by
the true American spirit. The American
people expect their government to see to
it that Americans in foreign lands are
not imposed on, maltreated or killed with
impunity. The British government Sc,
all civilized nations a good example in
taking care of it's subjects in foreign
lands. At one time when the United
States was navyless Americans in foreign
countries were feign at times to seek the
protection Of the British flag in emer-
gencies. That time has passed. The
American government is able to look
after Americans and American interests
in other lands when the occasion de-
mands, and in doing 80 it will have the
earnest support and approval of the whole
-ody of the American people.

We are not in the least afraid of the

fear that il it is abolished the nation will
demand a much stronger and more ef-
fcent check on the action Of the lower

PACKARD ADDS FINE
CATTLE TO RANCH

B. A. Packard, of Douglas, arrived
in the valley Monday morning bring
ing to his ranch in Tempe car load
of polled Durham cattle, registered
stock. Mr.. Packard is a stock raiser
by instinct and he never has any cheap
trash around him long His great
fad has been Herefords. but he also
has polled Durhams, and having them
he insists on keeping only the best.
He was told that he was reported
as going out of the stock business
and repeated that he is. but that he
cannot sacrifice too much or give all
his stock away. He isn't quitting the
business because there is no money
in it, nor because he does not like it.
His reason is only that other interests
suggest the wisdom of 1t in his case,
for which reason his stock and ranch
at Tempe are for sale. but he don't
propose to give them away.
To the same end he is disposing as
fast as possible of his thoroughbred
Percheron horses, though ne says it
is a fact that he has made good mon
ey on them. He thinks the people in
this valley have not yet come to a
point of full appreciation of good
horses, A thoroughbred eats no more
than a scrub and is no more trouble
TO take care of, while in selling value
there is no comparison. He has just
sold one stallion and fifteen mares
of his Percheron stock to a California
man. He says he sold them too
cheap, but that he made good money.
The stallion which he says is worth
$4,000, went for $4,000. and the mares,
little and big, averaged s525 each.
There were three yearlings, four two
year-oIds, and the rest were older
horses. He would much prefer to
have sold them in this valley but no.
body would pay the price, dirt cheap
as II was. While he did not say so,
he intimated in his quiet way that the
horse owners of the valley would be
sorry sometime that they had not in
vested when they could. He does not
say it in an injured manner either,
for he has made good money on the
horses and in that respect is satisfied.

of extensive improvements eontem-

involving the expenditure of several
i thousand dollars.
"Bisbee looks very good indeed to
me-" said Mr.. Aldrich, "and the COM
pany will doubtless back my opion-
ion to the extent of expending consid-
cradle money for the betterment of
the gas plant.
at is our intention within a few

all, We wish. to make the acquain-
lance of and become friends with all

toward that result is something we
are anxious to attain.
This is an exceptionally hard place
to supply gas to the public, owing to
the constant subsistence Of the ground.
This Is especially true of Stag Dump
hill. At that point through leaks in
the pipe we have lost practically half
OF the output OF our plant. which is
as good a one as most cities of four
times Bisbees size have. To obviate
this we are going to change the course
Of the mains below that place, bring
/ ing them through Dubacher canyon.
This Improvement will cost about
$4,000. The expense does not matter,
however, so long as we please our
customers. ...
Besides this we shall make sun
dry main extensions on Quality hill
and in other portions of the city, this
being a portion of our plan to cover
