It seems that the conscience Of
the American people has been
lulled to sleep over the policy of
our governments interfering in
domestic affairs Of little republics
on this continent. It is alleged
that all semblance of constitu-
tional government has ceased in
Haiti, and down in the Southern
republic the people who refuse to
submit to conditions imposed by
the American government are
designated as rebels and bandits
and whenever q protest is raised
in this country. you hear much
about protecting American rights
This means American dollars ex-
plotting the resources of those
countries. But notice the differ
ence. in this country. several
million citizens have no voice in
their government. and every law
that was designed to protect the
citizens has been ignored or re-
pealed' Yet we send marines to

state Board Of Health"
This action on the part Of the
board Of health Is the result OF
criticism directed at both the hos
pital authorities and the health de-
partment by local persons, who ex-
pressed the opinion that the Bristol
, hospital should have been placed
under quarantine when the first case
was discovered in the institution.
They further point out that the first
person stricken with the disease at
the hospital was an employe. whose
duties were confined to the hospital
laundry.
1t Is said by health authorities
that prompt precautionary measures
were taken in all instances to pre-
vent the spread Of the disease. One
case now being cared for at the
Bristol hospital is isolated from the
rest Of the building and there is no
possibility Of contagion. it is said.
The condition Of this patient is such
that her removal to the isolation
hospital would cause fatal results,
No additional cases Of smallpox
have been discovered in the city
since Sunday.
