QUARANTINE NOT JUSTIFIED.
Opinion Of Dr.. Batson-No Public
Gatherings in Marietta.

That the quarantine of Ardmore
against Marietta is not justified is
the opinion of DR.. w. V. Batson,
county health officer of Love county.
In telephone conversation with
the Ardmoreite Monday morning, Dr.
Batson stated that Marietta had had
about fifteen cases, it has four cases
of smallpox now, these are in the
outskirts of the town, no new cases
have developed in the last ten days.
the type of the disease is very mild.
no deaths have occurred. Marietta
is taking every precaution. Schools
have been dismissed, picture shows
and pool halls suspended, no church
services are held, all cases are rig
idly quarantined and the physician
confidently believes Marietta will be
entirely free from the disease within
two weeks time.
The first case to reach Marietta
was from Washington City. The tyne
was so mild that the attending ply
sician did not diagnose it as small
pox for several days. Eleven cases
resulted from this one patient. An =
other case came from Hugo. This
case was more pronounced and the
physician Immediately diagnosed the
case. It was much more severe than
the Washington case.
w. B. Nichols, who has been in Ma
rietta for several days, was here to-
day. He said the smallpox there
was not dangerous, that the people
were not excited or worried, that they
thought the quarantine was unjust,
that the disease was so mild that
frequently exposed people did not
contract it, and that the health Of
ficers and physicians were co-operat
ing to stamp it out as quickly as
possible.
Dir. Henry of this city, who invest
gated the situation there, made about
the same statements that DR.. Batson
made. He said the type was very
mild one, that physicians could not
quickly diagnose the cases, especially
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1913-02-17

der the contract have with him. Ihis
contract specifically states that ne
can accept cases other than those dl-
roctly concerning the department OF
charities and corrections. ! cannot
get an attorney for $4,000 a year with
bIains sufficient to check the graft
ing of Oklahoma unless ] give him an
opportunity of making some fees out
SIDE.
Il believe absolutely in his honesty
and | will fight for him to the last
ditch. Let anyone who questions his
honesty make an affidavit. Then we
can send said person to the peniten-
hary, where they belong, and | de-
mand that hereafter DIR. STOPPER be
given a chance to face his accusers.
| denounce this unfair method of ac-
orsing a man to his back as has been
done in this case.
THE first information DR.. Stolper
or ! had of this accusation is through
a story under BOX car headlines in
local afternoon paper alleging to set
forth star chamber proceedings, char
res, etc. Either the Legislative ses-
sion should have been open with DR..
Stolper present or the executive ses-
sion SHOULD have been truly eXecu-
tive.
"A mans character is part of his
sCul and that soul belongs to God, and
no man should undertake to disgrace
anv man until he has first had hear
ing, and demand that DR.. Stolper be
given the chance to face his accusers,
and | promise when he faces them he
will give a record so clear that his
accusers, if they can be made
to swear to affidavits, will go to join
Warden Dick before get through with
them.
Il am in this fight to the finish and
! will not stop until ! have returned |
to the grass roots in the accusers' dis |
tr!cts and helped the home folks to
a thorough understanding of the fight
in he meantime it is Kate Barnard
arll the Indian orphans of the state
against the CRATER, with the legisla-
ture to decide the game"
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1913-02-17

Two real estate grafters recently
Gle aned up 81 100000 in land swindle
in Oregon. They pleaded guilty when
brought into court and, upon recon-
mendation of the United States attor-
ney were fined 1000 each. No won
der that such men as Dietz who is
sewing a life sentence for taking tie
protection Of his life's work and prop
ertS into his own hands, should say
that the hoodwink has been removed
from the eyes Of the blind goddess,
and that justice is no longer her name.

KATE BARNARD.

The house committee on investiga-
titns has seen fit to attack the non
esty and integrity lof Kate Barnard,
commissioner OF charities OF this state
through the alleged grating of DR..
] II. STOPPER of that board, by assert
ing that he has accepted money Tor
the use of his influence in the obtain
ing Of pardons for persons convicted
of bootlegging and similar cases. Kate
Barnard brands the assertion of the
committee as "the same old fight with
the grafters on one side and the de-
partment of charities and corrections
ard the thousands of orphaned child
rem in the state on the other
The manner in which Miss Bar
nard has conducted the affairs of her
office since she has been in charge
places her above all the filings and in
uendos that may be thrown against
her. She has conducted the affairs
of her office in a straightforward and
businesslike manner and he indefat-
igable labor in the interest of the or
phan and the distressed and oppress-
et has endeared her to more Okla
he ma hearts than it is the power of
man to tell or even estimate.
In justice to Miss Barnard The
Ardmorehte publishes herewith the
statement which Miss Barnard has
give to the press In this statement
it will be seen that the lady not only
defends her own position, and also
defends DR.. Stolper from the attacks
made upon him, but that she also,
in plain and unvarnished English de-
nounCes the unfair method of accus-
ing a man to his back as has been
done in this case
Miss Barnari's statement follows:
Statement Of Miss Barnard.
Il have perfect confidence in my
attorney, j. H. Stolper. His only sin
is that he has prevented grating on
helpless Indian orphan children. He
