BETTER SYSTEM
OF QUARANTINE

Since Dr. A. Robin. city bacteriologist,
gave an opinion to tho effect that the sys-
tenn of quarantine i'm tho city is farce
and that the security felt by the people
s a deusion" Joseph wigslosworih Of the
Board oniealth has called attention to tho
fact that ho has bcen advocating. not pub
hcly. hut rather "a better system of quar-
autinc lie calls attention TO the rocommon-
dation he made IN his last report ln which
he set out that very serious problem
confronted the board In an efficient moth-
cd of quarantine. and that ne was OF the
opinion that until the city erects a con-
tagious disease hospital or the health au-
thorities rigidly quarantine every person
in the house containing diseases. this could
not be effected
Mr.. Wigglesworth stated that domestic
quarantine was unreliable. while on the
other hand no argument is necessary TO
prove the value Of an isolation hospital
/ He further stated that to permit cases Of
contagious diseases TO be treated in pri-
vate dwellings is always attended with
danger lie said the executive officers are
{ freduenuy sent TO investigate complaints
these complaints are not always we'll
founded. there is frequently cause for sus-
nicion.
Mr.. Wiggiesworth believes that the pres
ent system OF quarantine is better than
none. but that much better results could
bc obtained with municipal hospital.

A Manifest Improvement.

The reception accorded to Ar.
Bryan's carping criticism of the
nomination of Gov. Hughes to the
supreme bench must have given him
a hard Jolt. Democratic members of
congress. newspapers and private
citizens have all Joined in the cho-
rus OF approval. and there has not
been a single voice added to his
own its demagogic cant.
This is indicative of a decided inn
provement in the tone and tempcra-
ment of the American people. and
especially of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Bryan could have made such re-
marks in 1896. or even in 1900. and
the bulk of the Democratic party
would have followed him blindly. No
character was secure from abuse as
n Corporation tool" the cant of
the demagogues, as the President
has aptly named 1t. was at high
tide. 1t is not by any means at
low tide yet, for We hear 1t all the
time; and this matter of the Hughes
appointment has afforded the first
indication of change. That Is one
reason why 1t Is so grateful.
If the time is coming when 1t
will not damn any mans reputation
to be called tool of the corpora
tions'' by some irresponsible, black
mailing newspaper, then there Is
indeed hope of a return to sanity.
