Six Men from St. Joe Tell How 1t Can
Be Done.

Six men from St. Joe. Mo, were
gracefully disposed on the sofas in
the lobby of the Holland House yes
terday morning, but mystery hangs
about why they suddenly left home
the other day and headed for New
York. News may come out Of it
yet, according to two of the party,
but the cat was let out Of the bag
yesterday morning. However, the
two, when asked for a lre about St.
Joe itself chanted a paean Of praise
about the place and teld why the
last census made it out that St. Joe
had retrograded.
The party consisted OF F. P. Snow
den, B. C. Donnell. Geo. D. Bright,
NJ. II. Alderman, C. Knight and C.
Rea, but only two talked. These af-
firned that out there tie inhabitants
refer to the town as st. Joseph"
and it is only outsiders who abbre-
viate it. And as for the towns ap-
parently not having grown in the ten
years preceding the last census, why
somebody padded the figures il 1900.

school statistics we have grown in

"St. Joe," said the other, is

other.
"And the largest overall manu-
featuring industry in the whole
country" added the other.
There are five such factories and
they employ between 5000 and 5000

''The Lynchburg News and The

Charlotte Observer, cordially ap-
prove a suggestion that men tip their
hats when passing the Lee statue in

for years. writes correspondent
of the former in this connection, for

cause the old way Of attempting to
handle smallpox by quarantine has
caused many people to rely upon the
state to protect them and have not
been vaccinn ated. AS quarantine
will no longer be enforced through
out the state, those who have neg
lccted to he vaccinnated during the
last five years are hereby notified of
the danger of their negligence in
this matter exposes them to, and are
ueced to be vaccinnated at the earli-
est moment.
Remember that smallpox is the
penalty of your own negligence and
that you little deserve the sympathy
Of the public if you contract the
disgracaful disease" y.
The new health laws empower the
chairman Of the board Of county
commissioners to appoint a quaran-
tine officer, who shall be paid by the
county to take care of those cases OF

teae health board, such as yellow
fever, cholera, typhus fever, etc.
There is nothing, it is said, in the

UP TO INDIVIDUAL.
Board Of Health Declares Vaccination
is Proper Preventative.

halGlgh, MAY 4.-NO longer is the
state to place guards at the door Of
the house where smallpox appears
The last legislature modified the law,
placing the quarantine regulations
under the board of health and cut
ting of the appropriation Of some
500, 600 which it annually cost to
conduct the smallpox quarantine.
Taking the position that smallpox is
co1trollable by vaccination the
state board of health in prescribing
quarantine regulations and rules for
whooping cough, measles, scarlet
fever, yellow fever. cholera, bubonic
plague, leaves off any concerning
smallpox.
On the other hand DR.. w. S. Ran
Kin, secretary of the board of health,
has had number Of pink and black
posters printed with the following
statement:
Until lately the state required
smallpox to be quarantined. The
ate board Of health shall now no
longer advocate or insist upon the
quarantine OF smallpox. The board
takes this position for three reasons.
First. Quarantine is uncertain
protection; vaccination a certain
protection. Quarantine works posi-
tive harm in many cases by giving
people a false sense of security
against the disease, thereby tempt
ing hem to forego the certain pro-
lection which vaccination would
give.
Second. Quarantine is a very ex-
pensive protection. The cost OF the
quarantine of smallpox to the state
In recent years has approximated
5I3G, 600 annually or enough to more
shan maintain the state university.
'sT lird. Quarantine is inequitable.

The Commercial Club
 Idea Waxes Strong
(From Tuesdays Examiner

(By Mrs. F. R. Pugh, See'y) Considering the fact that the all absorbing topic of the streets is the coming election, the interest in the Commercial Club campaign holds it's own fairly well. We expect to gather in a goodly number of recruits this week, although I had to take day off Monday and again today in order to catch up with my office work and the Commercial Club correspondence.
 It will help some, yes, quite a good deal. if each and every member will make it a point to show his colors.
 Every one can do that much, if no more, to keep up the interest and en- thusiasm.
 If you lose your badge, or get it too sOiled to wear, get another. l want the new members to wear the badge too, and help his side to win out. And don't be backward about coming to the meetings every Friday night Everybody is welcome, wheth- CT a director or a member or not. We want you 10 know what the Commer- rial Club io doing for Yuma. Then make up your mind to dc the right hirg bv the town where you make your living, and Tend a hand" to those who are trying to put Yuma in the city class.
 DON'T BALKi PULL A long pull, q strong pull, and a pull altogether, md we will soon be out of the deep sand and on the high road to greater Yuma.

from the hand that was feeding him. The jury retires and they de-
 iberate upon but one fact-is he guilty or is he not guilty. Eleven men find him guilty, and in the mind of one man there remains a suspicion that somewhere there is something Wrong-the law says that man is innocent until he is proven guilty.
 One man can hang that jury and give that man a new trial.
 The judge, however, is found guilty because he did not prove his innocence by majority vote. On that form of recall they ask me to vote. Against that form of a re- call, God deliver me. ] am against it today, tomorrow and forever. When we can have a recall that shall find a man guilty before all the people, as before all the jury, at the expense of the government, will vote for it, but no other.
 Down in my county it would cost $16,800 to recall man. And here is another joker in the recall as it is written in our constitution. After the recall has once been tried on a man and failed. he can not be recalled again until the ex- penses Of the first recall FeVe hee0 paid. All a judge has to do there fore, is to get up a phony recall, let the cou.rty pay for it, and then he is absolutely immune for three years and six months, and you cannot reach nm without paying this $16,5o0. A corporation is the cn!y one that could pay the cost of a second recall,

(From Tuesdays Examiner)

 A youth who says that he has 2 salmon pink complexion wants to run off with one of our western girls
 T. ie safe to say that he also wears salmon pink" hosiery and that his mamma or the authorities don't know he's out.
 Possibly his brains are also steve l salmon pink" but anyhow here's the letter as received by Marshal Levy
