Serious Charge Against Railroads

THERE are many sufficiently serious as
poets OF the outbreak of foot-and mouth
disease that has been discovered in Henrico
County. and which has necessitatcd sternly
reprcssive and preventive measures, but one
OF the most alarming Is the charge, fatty
made, that former proclamations of the Gov
ernor, designed for the States protection
have been disregarded ilagrantly by the
railroads.
Should the disease become epidemic
throughout the State, the railroads will find
IT difficult to absolve themselves of a large
share of the blame unless they are in posi-
ton completely to disprove the averments of
lacl maze by the Governor and other Of
iicials.
1t is hard to understand how transportation
companies could have been guilty of such
consummate folly. Self-interest even if re-
gard Tor the good Of the people were wholly
lacking, would seem to have suggested an
earnest and faithful compliance with the
regulations that were established An epi-
denhc such as now becomes possible would
lnlct heavy damage on the railroads. They
would be among the principal suffers should
IL become necessary to prohibit the trans
portation Of cattle and cattle food within the
State.
II Is said that Richmonds milk supply may
be decreased by the outbreak and the steps
necessarily taken to combat the disease. If
III" decrease IS serious. it would be q great
calamity. There should he general satisfac-
tion, however, with one precaution the Chief
lfealth Officer has taken to minimize the dan

Pas'euiized Pasteurizution is a health pre-
caution that is particularly useful and even
essential just now, but it is wise always, and
IL Will be hoped that the order will be con-
tihuea in effect even after the foot-and- mouth
disease has been stamped out.
Fortunately for the city, the greater part
OF the milk sold here is Pasteurized and has

now is TO enforce PasteuriZation of the rest
