explosives was az hand.
No mention was made OF the re-
ported arrest and deportation OF spies

negative manner. designed to give the
effect of a denial. the omission OF
reference to spies was considered most
significant

ton at this time and no comment
could be had on the reported house-to-
house canvas of Japanese and that
large quantities Of explosives have
been found and conhscated. The de-

NORFOLK AND THE STATE
QUARANTINE.

The ports of Norfolk and Ports
month have been relieved OF the dou-
bic quarantine burden. Complying
with the demand that those ports be
nut on an equal footing with Newport
News, at which the State quarantine
will be abolished on November by
Governor Mann's order. the Elizabeth
River quarantine commissioners have
changed their regulations so as to
eliminate State inspection. Thus the
farcical State quarantine service prac-
tically is abolished. as Norfolk. Ports
mouth and Newport News are Virgi-
MAS only ports. But, unfortunately
for the people across the Roads. while
their ports are relieved OF the double
inspection handicap, Norfolk. Ports
mouth and Norfolk county are not
relieved of the burden altogether.
They must continue TO pay a salary
of $500 annually to State officer for
doing nothing. The commissioners,
practically compelled TO cut OF the
fees. could not be induced TO surren
der the plum" entirely. Heretofore
the quarantine officer has received
fees and a salary for making a blur
at protecting the port from disease;
in the future he will take down the
$500 without even having 10 trouble
himself about bufiing.
The Norfolk Landmark concludes
an editorial headed Some More OF
the Corpse Inferred" with this:
Newport News is just that much
ahead of US. By about 1912 the last
sad rites of the farce on this side
of the Roads win probably be pro
nounced. In the meanwhile, let us be
thankful to Newport News that we
have got OF as well as We have.
Newport News was fortunate in be
ing able to appeal directly to the gov
ernor. and In having no salary attach
ed to the job of quarantine officer

CERTAINLY HE DID.

Theodore Roosevelt placed himself
on record today as opposed to the view
expressed by President Taft OF one
phase of the work OF conserving and
developing the natural resources OF
the country" says an Associated Press
dispatch from Hot Spring, Ark. OF
course he did. The colonel was speak
ing at the time TO an Arkansas audi
ence and was saying that he believed
the United States gosernment should
help TO pay for the draining OF Mis-.
sissippi valley swamp lands. OF when
Arkansas has some millions of acres.
Had the colonel been out this way ne
might have been telling us that the
government ought to spend its money
building inland waterways which would
De of incalculable benefit TO the coun-
try at large, instead OF planning to i'm
prove lands belonging 10 a single state.
But be was not on the coast: he was
in Arkansas. and that made all the dii-
ference In the world. In NJ nnesota
the colonel put himself on record as
opposing certain other views enter
tanned by the President, but when ne
got back to New York these same
views came in for his earnest APP
prevail. II depends altogether upon
where and to whom the colonel Is talk
ing. As somebody remarked the other
day. If there were no telegraph lines
and no newspapers in the country. Mr..
Roosevelt would have very man,
