MOI AT AL SURPRISING.

The announcement that President
Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft did not dis
cuss the 1912 presidential nomination
and that they reached no agreement
as to Mr. Roosevelt's attitude toward
the present administration is not "A.
all surprising. Mr.. Taft is said to be
very willing TO accept a re-nOmina
ton. and if surface indications mean
anything at all Mr.. Roosevelt is dc
termined to have the Republican
nomination himself in 1912. Therefore
II was hardly to be expected that they
would take the 1912 presidential nom.
inatian as a topic for discussion. An0
for the same reason, it was not al
all likely that they would come to an
agreement concerning the cOlOnel'sI
attitude toward the Taft administra
ton.

WEDNESDAY, SEP TENDER 81. 1910
ACTION OF THE CHAMBER is
TIMELY.

Now is the time to urge that the
sovornor abolish the State quarantine
system. In the course OF n rev
months the term OF the present
health officer will expire. and If the
inadequate and useless service is 10
be dispensed with any time IN the
rear future the question ought 10 ne
settled before we have three or -four
candidates in the field for the next
term.
There is another reason why the
decision of the directors OF the
Chamber of Commerce to make anoth-
or appeal to the governor in connec-
ton with this matter Is especially
timely. Norfolk is as much interesie'
in the abolition of the state service
as Newport News. and as the oondi-
tons prevailing at the two ports IS
Identical. II Is desirable that both
should have the same quarantine reg
ulations. And Norfolk is about TO
take the matter up with the governor
again. Quarantine officer SchencK'
of Norfolk. will resign in a few days
10 become health commissioner oil
Norfolk. aud the Virginian-Pilot is In
sisting that the opportunity presented
of doing away with the Objectionable
system be improved.
Aided by the shipping men of the
port. the committee OF the Chamber
of Commerce ought to have no diff
Guilty in demonstrating TO Governor
Mann that Hampton Roads ports are
fully protected by the United States
marine hospital and public health sta
ton at Old Point, and that the Stare
service. therefore. is as useless as 1t
is ridiculously inadequate.
Protecting. as it does, Fortress
Monroe at Old Point. the National
Soldiers Home at Hampton and the
navy yard at Norfolk. the station a;
Old Point will not be abolished by the
federal government any time scoh-
Certainly the federal service will be
maintained until such a time as the
State of Virginia sees fit to establish
a real quarantine service for the pro-
lection of Hampton Roads.
Therefore. until Virginia does put
herself in a position to guard the
health Of her ports it is nonsensical
TO object to the abolition OF The pres
ent State system on the ground that
the situation ought not to be turned
over to the federal authorities" The
situation already is in the hands Of
The federal authorities and has been
for years. To abolish the State ser
vice would be simply 70 stop making
ourselves ridiculous. and to relieve
the commerce OF the ports Of an IT.

of the tongers told me that on Mon
day 10000 bushels of bivalves were
taken from he river. He said that
the culls were seSng for - cents,
while the seeds were only bringing
u cents per bushels. and complained
that these prices were the lowest the
tongers had ever known in Virginia.
However. the tongers were satisfied
because the catch is twice as large
this season and therefore hey Will
make much more money, even with
low prices 1t was told also that buy
ers were coming into the river and
that one Hampton finn purchased be-
tween 5000 and 10000 bushels on
Monday.

men d two boys. told me that he

Another man said he caught A. bush
els with similar crew. All of the.
tongers said the river is filled with lit
tie oyster. known as 'blisters, and
that this crop will be ready for the
market within enc or TWO months.
The boys culling the oysters found
trouble on account Of the 'blisters,
and il was necessary 10 throw the

-,ion is now realized as today The

the planters are getting them AT the
rate upon which they can make
money. 1t also gives the Virginia
tOngers chance TO meet he prices

time give the Virginia tongers more
money. ! predict that III he next
three years the river will be so lined
with oysters that plaRters can buy
them at u cents per bushel.
