A QUICK REVERSAL.

Up to last Saturday, DR.. Oscar
Bowling president Of the state
board of health, didn't stand
very well with this legislature,
and he never has stood well with
the small but noisy portion of
New Orleans who do allfthe talk
ing. Several measures he + had
brought belize the -legisl Stature
seeking the extension of the pow
er and authority of the state
board of health had been ruth
lessly slaughtered, and the fore
cast of the legislative reporters
was that the axe had already
been shamened for the rest. The
pinhead portion Of the legisla'
ture 1--WE speak in a Pickwickian
sense saw an opportunity to cur
ry favor with those people who
talk first and do their thinking
afterward; one state senator
broke into the "Voice Of the
People" column Of the Times
Picayune and on the general
premise that DR.. Bowling was
tyrant and had too much arbi
trary power, abused him for not
exercising it more generally and
ruthlessly. The doctor was even
compelled to 60 into court to get
permission to take such steps as
would compel New Orleans to
put a public building in sanitary
condition.
Then, on Saturday, Something
Happened!
New Orleans now wants the
city Immediately secured ami
cleaned as it never has been
cleaned since Sieur Iberville used
to foregather with the Indians at
Little Woods. 1t wants a thor
ough survey made Of the city for
suspicious disease; wants rigid
system of inspection established;
wants all the rats in New Orleans
to be slaughtered as ruthlessly
as DR.. Dowling's bills, and wants
the state to appropriate $15O,OOO
to carry out these purposes. And
who do YOU suppose New Orleans
wants to take charge of this
campaign? 4
Why Bowling, of course.
