THE QUARANTINE AT NAvAsoTA

On the principle, we suppose, that
misery loves company, the defenders
Of the local tieup were telling with
much gusto this morning that Nava-
sofa had quarantined. Here is the
story as the Examiner tells it:
TO avoid what is generally termed
Shotgun quarantine which will tie
up the town entirely, the council de-
cided this morning to inaugurate a
thorough cleanup crusade and place
ban only against those points known
to be infected To that end telegram
was sent to six OF the leading daily
papers to the effect that persons COM
ing to Navasota from such points
would be detained ten days in deten-
ton camp which will be established
during the day."
II those responsible for the existing
condition of affairs in Bryan, instead
of taking counsel of their fears, had
acted with the prudence and discre-
tion manifested by the authorities of
Navasota, there would have been no
objection. But as it is, the contrast is
painful.

Panicky Women.

Now that the symptoms of menin-
gifts have been printed, all the women
who have nothing else to do-meaning
about so per cent of them-can sit
down and wait. until they feel like they
have it, which will be from two min.
utes to half an hour.-Austin States.
man.
And the warning by the learned doc.
tor that fear conduces the disease will
scare half the women to death. If fear
alone was the source of contagion it
is safe to say that four-fifths of the
people of Texas would have menin-
gifts. Fear of disease in trash, foul
conditions around the home, filthy
alley or sour back yard seems, how
ever, to have no terrors like the fear
which possesses people when an cpl.
demic starts. Our fears are poorly bal.
anced and injudiciously grounded

AS OTHERS SEE US.


A number of small towns in the
state have quarantined against the
world" Not many people will worry
about it, however, as few ever felt an
inclination to visit those particular
towns anyway.-Beaumon Enterprise
The town that gets SO foolish as to
establish quarantine against every
other place deserve to be left alone
Galveston News.
These are sample excerpts to show
how the great world looks at our pre-
dicament. Cowardice in a town is as
contemplate as cowardice in an indi-
vidual. Not all the people of Bryan
are cowards-not by large majority.

They have simply let those get con-
troll who in the presence of imaginary
danger took leave of their senses.

When juvenile courts were first In
stituted the general idea was that they
were to deal only with human waits,
the unfortunate children Of the streets,
having no parents nor guardians to
care for them. But the reports pub
lished in some of the city papers in
dictate that hundreds OF parents are
weakly surrendering the control Of
their children and trusting to the laws
and to the civil officers to discharge
the duties which God made incumbent
on parents. This is another illustra-
ton of the lamentable truth that the
more the government relieves parents
of responsibility, the more they shirk.
