DIR, Asa Willard said that the situa-
ton in Montana is without parallel
in any civilized nation on the globe:
hc insisted that the conditions exist

any new law. but of new regulation

Frank McHaffie vigorously protested
against the existing conditions. Albert
Resaneon discussed the legal phase

that the state board of health is sole
iy responsible for the evil conditions

came II burning issue and the state
board Of health is to BE- bombardcd
with protests against ats action in
regulating against the sequcstration OF
patients affiliated with this disease.
Hotel men and merchants al the
meeting last night testified that the
lack of quarantine regulations and the
existence of the disease in the city is
endangering their business: parents
testified that their children in the pub
lie schools are brought into contact
with the disease in viruient form and
that school rooms have not been fumi-
gated when children known to be af-
flicted with smallpox have been re
moved: there was protest from every
quarter.
Postmaster Ross stated that he had
Instructed his carriers to collect no
mail from boxes In blocks where there
are smallpox cases and tn deliver no
mail in the same district. He said
that he had gone as far as his
authority would permit, after getting
no satisfaction from the city and
county health boards. but that hc had
reported the matter tn the department
at Washington and he expected to
receive quarantine instructions soon.

The session this morning was not
a very long one as there was only
one speaker on the program. A. G.
Ramsay, a merchant at Taylor Ridge,
gave an interesting talk in which he
compared the farmer and the mer-
chant of today with the farmer and
the merchant of so years ago. He
brought out the fact that with the
change in conditions which have TAX
en- place, the farmer has had to brush
up his business knowledge and de-
pend more upon 1t in his dealings.
The merchant has become more BUSH
ness like in his dealings with the
farmer and the result is very salts

The Black Hawk quartet furnish
ed music at the morning session. The
church in which the sessions are be-
ing held was well filed with dele
gates, despite the condition of the
weather which prompts the farmers
to remain at home in the warm.

Mrs. W. 3. Barker of Rock Island
spoke last night on Moral and De-

Barker is the superintendent of the
West End Settlement in Rock Island
and is well qualified for the lecture
which she gave. She told of the con-
ditiOns which the settlement workers
come in contact with and outlined
the aim of the institution. She adj
vised the farmers to keep their
daughters away from the city as far
as possible in order to avoid the pit
falls which she claims exist there for
the young and susceptible. She be-
seeched the mothers to cultivate the
confidence of their daughters and to
educate them in piety and in the
graces. Her talk appealed to her
listeners and she made the hit of
the convention.
The choir OF the Methodist church
furnished music for the meeting last
evening.
