LOCAL QUARANTINE MADE MORE
DRASTIC.

II The Eagle had good reason to be-
lieve that quarantine is a protection
against meningitis 1t would heartily
favor it, but there is no good reason
for such belief. 1t defies all such puny
restrictions and appears in the most
unexpected places. For instance, who
can account for its appearance among
the children of the Reliance neighbor-
hood? 1t has broken out in some
places where the strietest quarantine
had been observed. Some of the best
physicians say the germs are every
where, waiting only for favorable con-
ditions to develop them, and all the
known facts are in harmony with this
hypothesis. If this be SO, what good
can quarantine do?
In all that The Eagle has said in
opposition to the drastic measures
that have been adopted and partially
enforced in Bryan there has been no
reflection on the city council or the
health officers. That they have done
what seemed to them to be for the
best there is no apparent reason to
doubt. 1t has resulted in great hard
ship, injury to business and financial
loss, all of which The Eagle believes
Is simply and purely destructive and
without any compromising benefit. The
petition for modification of the
quarantine presented to the council
last night was signed by nearly all the
business men, which shows that they
concur in the opinion of The Eagle.
The council not only rejected this
proposition but made the quarantine
even more drastic. This, we suppose,
settles the matter for the present;
there is nothing to do but to grin and
bear it. Those who live long enough
will see the end of it some time.

1t has developed that the attempt
to assasinate Yuan Shi Kai was part
of conspiracy for general uprising
of the republicans of northern China.
If the plot had succeeded it is proba-
BILE that massacre Of the Manchus
would have followed. Americans SYM
pathize with the desire of the Chinese
for liberty, but have only adherence
for such methods of getting rid OF
tyrants.

called attention to the fact that there
is law to punish those who circulate
false reports concerning the existence

that law has slept, like sword in its

officer of Bryan, has given notice that
it will be enforced hereafter. Putting

COMMERCIAL CLUB
DIRECTORS MEETING

The meeting of the board Of direc-
tors Of the Commercial Club last night
was attended by eight members. The
principal business discussed was plans
for good roads campaign. 1t was
decided to begin the active campaign
by holding great mass meeting in
Carnegie Hall Thursday afternoon at
2 o'clock. Every business house in the
city will close up, as indicated by
signed agreement published elsewhere
in this paper. The committee appoint
ed to secure this agreement consisted
of Major McInnis, Mr.. Ed Hall and
Mr.. E. W. Crenshaw. The committee
appointed to arrange program are
Messrs. A. w. Buchanan, Eugene Edge
and j. Webb Howell They are work
ing on a program which will be pub
lished in another place today.
The club arranged for an active CAM
paign during the time between now
and the bond election.
Secretary Hewitt asked the board to
secure another secretary, as he wished
to resign. He stated that the labor of
the club and its association had been
to him a most pleasant one, and would
always be a source of pleasant recol-
lections, but its work had grown TO
such proportions that he could not do
justice to the work and undertake any
other employment. The directors
voted to defer action on the resigna-
ton.

1t is reported that Queen Mary dis
likes American women. Her opinion
was formed, of course, from the speci-
mems she has come in contact with
the sycophants who scheme and plan
to secure presentation to royalty. If
Queen Mary cares to know the true
American woman she will have to
seek her in her home. =

ployes naturally are willing to support
the system of contributory pensions,
as they would be the first to benefit and
also for the reason that congress is
much more likely to adopt measure
providing for such system than it Is
to pass the bill calling for straight
federal pensions.

Every Christian believes in the in
spiration of the scriptures and in a
divine providence, and the attention
of all such is directed to the Ninety
first Psalm, reprinted on this page.
Allowing for Oriental hyperbole and
for differences of environment, it is
peculiarly applicable to the existing
situation in Texas.

Politics develop strange situations.
One would naturally suppose that a
candidate for the pesridency would be

that it withdrew it's support from Mr..

out of it-just like the G. A.. R. in this

only as a means of getting it.

DAY At FELLOWSHIP

Editor Star: 1 went to Fellowship
church last Sunday. 1t Is about ten
miles west of Ocala. When 1 arrived
at 10 O'Clock Sunday school was in
session. 1t was Children's Day and
the essays, speeches and drills Of the
pupils were fine. They acquitted them
selves most nobly. The superintendent
Is quite a pleasant man and was mas
ter OF the situation. 1 knew only
Mr.. Beck, who introduced me to quite
a number OF the good people that were
there, including Mrs. Beck and Miss
Alta Beck, his daughter. When the
Sunday school exercises were over the
congregation repaired to the grove
near the spring. where the good PEG.
pie had erected a table something near
200 feet long. In a few minutes the
good ladies had the contents of their
baskets placed on the table, and sv-
erybody was invited to come and help
themselves. 1 have never seen a more
delicious repast. I think the church
at that place has the right name for
every person and everything seemed
to be In perfect fellowship. After ev
cry one had eaten to their hearts con
tent, there was still enough left for
supper. 1 have not enjoyed myself so
well anywhere since 1 have been in
Florida. ]. d. S.

LOOSE LEGISLATION
DIRECTED TO BY LIGHT

l. s. Light, ex-representative and
representative-elect of Marion county.
says In Dixie:
During the evening session Of the
State Senate, May "a. 1911, the follow
ing took place: There were thirty
three different bills acted on during
that evening. Four different letters
were read and more than 100 motions
made. There were 81 vote and roll
calls. Twenty-six of the bills passed
and became laws-had no opposition.
Thirty-seven different amendments
were offered and passed. The jack
sonville charter bill was one of the
bills the Senate acted on and there
were &c amendments to this bill offer
ed and passed. The Sanford charter
bill also passed with 13 different
amendments. Were the bills turned
| out that evening good or bad? There
were no votes against the Jacksonville.
| nor the Sanford charter bills. Jack
sonviIle Is already tired of its charter
bill and is crying for the next legisfa-
ture to give 1t new one. Jackson
vile wants the governor to call an ex-
ira session of the legislature to please
a few of the people in that city. The
people are tired of Jacksonville and
want a rest. Little or no consideration
| IS given measures rushed through as
was done during the above evening.

THE NEXT LADY
OF THE WHITE HOUSE

What every woman in the United
States wants to know just now might
be embodied in a single question:
What Is Mrs. Woodrow Wilson like?
Mrs. Wilson Ia a brown-hai wom-
an. Her eyes are brown and very
sweet and large. They are saved from
too much sweetness by highly arched
eyebrows You never saw stupid
woman with an arched eyebrow. Her
features are small and regular-they
suggest, in fact, a Victorian minia-
ture. Her figure Is matronly in the
sense that statutes Of Livia and Ag-
rippina are matronly, but not as the
word Is usually employed to convey
the idea of fairness as palatably as
possible.
Mrs. Wilson's favorite poet Is Words
worth, and, strangely enough, the
last verse Of the famous lines be-
ginning "She was a phantom of de-
light" might have been written to or
about her:
And now 1 see with eyes serene
The very pulse Of the machine;
A being breathing thoughtful breath;
A traveller between life and death:
A reason firm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight, strength and
skill;
A perfect woman, nobly planned
To warn, to comfort and command
And yet a spirit still and bright
With something Of angelic light.
I am no enthusiast. Once upon a
time / interviewed the wife of a
presidential candidate. and when
came away 1 wanted to summarize my
Impressions In four words-she Is q
cook. I wish / had.
But to emphasize the quality Of Mrs.
Wilson's gentleness and high breeding
is to do 1t an injustice. One might as
well exclaim over the perfume OF a
tea rose-New York World.

was shot and killed in front of the
Hotel Metropole, last night, by five
men who drove up TO the place in a

the tragedy say that two of the five
men in the automobile were police
men.
The murder of Rosenthal, following
as it does, publicity given the mans
complaint TO the district attorney, and
the alleged fact that at least two of
the men in the auto which held the
murderers were policemen, has caused
a great sensation here. The murder
was committed right in the heart Of
the city. Mayor GaynOr and the heads
of the city's legal department are pre-
pairing for the strictest Of investiga-
tions. There will be a close investi-
cation of the police department and
one Of the biggest shakings UP Of the
force that has ever been known in
this city is certain TO result.
