A MOSQUITOLESS SUMMER. Think of a summer without mosquP toes here In Albany! Wouldn’t It be great? Think of It, all. ye who can’t flee tb the mountains for a change of climate and for relief from the buzzing, sting' Ing pests that do more than anything else to make summer life at home mis erable! > Let’s strike for a mosquitoless sum mer In Albany. It Is within the prov ince and the power of the Mayor and City Council to give It to us. Let’s nek them for It, and Insist upon It, it necessary, until they are convinced that We are In earnest about It. Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance In many ways and with aggravating features, but they are a menace to health as well. The leading scientists and the best accredited authorities of the medical profession are now agreed that mosqultoee are the pur veyors of disease, particularly yellow fever and malarial disease's of all kinds. This within Itself should ad monish every well-regulated town or city to light mosquitoes ob they would a postilence and to leave nothing un done to prevent the breeding of the pesky Insects Within their limits. But The Herald was "agin” mos quitoes and urged the municipal au thorities of Albany to Institute a war of extermination on the pesta long before the doctors discovered that they were responsible for the spread of yellow fever, and we believe that, aside from all health considerations, relief trout this summer nuisance of long standing would be well worth every effort and dollar that It would cost to accomplish It. The drainage of this ,city Is now al- moaf. perfect, and the great Improve ment that has been made on this line within the last fqw years ought to make it possible to keep down the breeding of mosquitoes and thereby afford Immunity from the pests at comparatively small cost. The adop tion and enforcement -of an ordinance for tho screening! of clstorns and all other reservoirs in the city and a rigid Inspection of all premises for the pur pose of making sure that no sinks or vessels of any kind are left with water standing In them, and then the use of a little coal oil In the low places where water stands for any length of time after a rain would be all that would be required to give the city immunity from the mosquito pest. And now Is the time to Inaugurate the antl-mosqulto campaign. By be ginning in time the work could be more easily doue and could also be made more effective. The antt-mosqutto campaign might be- placed In the hands of the City Physician and the Health Committee of the City Council, and a little well- directed work and the expenditure of a sum of money that would be Insig nificant as the price of Immunity from mosquitoes would give us a mosquito less summer. Wo see from the Atlanta papers that the Mayor and Council of that city are going to Inaugurate an antl-mosqulto campaign under the direction of the Board of Health, and that two thou sand dollars has heon appropriated as a starter, with the promise of more when It shall bo needed for the prose cution of the work. An ordinance has also been framed to require all clsters and other reservoirs In the city to be screened. This seems to he a good start. Let Albany follow the Atlanta example. It will cost much less to keep' down the mosquito nuisance In Albany than -it will In Atlanta. Mr. Mayor and gentlemen of the City Council, our hat ts off to you In re spectful obeisance, and the question of a mosquttoless summer is now up to you. Manila, whom he blames for the highly colored stories that have found circu lation at home. He might have added that at no time since American occu pancy of the {Philippines hare the newspaper correspondents stationed there been “hampered by facts,” to quote the language of a famous Geor gian. A New York blrdologlst and a North Carolina one are having a controversy over robins. The North Carolina man declares that a robin never runs but always hops with both feet at once and In the same direction. The New Yorker intimates that the other knows nothing of robins, and asserts that these birds are runners, not hoppers. As both claim to be acquainted with robins, why Is It that they differ so widely, and who shall decide? As a general thing birds that have their homes In the trees usually progress by hopping when on the earth, while those that live or spend most of their time on the ground always walk. Still there may be exceptions, and we would not like to take either side in the robin controversy with positivity. Montgomery Advertiser. Thd North Carolina man and the New Yorker are both half right and half wrong. The robin hops and runs both. In other words, he is a two- galted bird and runs or hops, or hops and runs, but when on level ground he perhaps runs more than he hops. TUE8DAY, MARCH 40, 1906. i. Albany Is “up and doing” In spite of the fact that she accomplished more in the line of building improvement In 1905 than In any two years of her pre vious history, therq Is as much—pos sibly more—building In progress with in her limits as at any time In the past. It Is a gratifying fact that much of the building now being done is In the residence sections. Several hun dred new dwellings will be needed this year, and It Is gratifying to note that they are being rapidly provided. ’’ifc It doesn't help your town, and there- fcr-ftire it doesn’t help you, to send away for things that can be bought at home. , The loyal citizen will spend his money i|i-nt home, even though he may have to Swpay a llttle more for what he buys. It would seem that the limit has been reached in the matter of unjusti fiable lynchlugs by a Louisiana mob which, on Saturday night, took the life of a negro who had been arrested Kftjtorged with stealing and killing a calf. ■ y Worth county should vote a pension to the Sylvester mother who gave birth on Saturday to three gtrl babies Incidentally, it .would be a graceful thing to exempt the proud father from taxation for the next eighteen years, for he will need the money. The victim of New Orleans’ sup posed yellow fever case died, and an autopsy showed that he was killed by cirrhosis of the'liver. The health au thorities of Louisiana bravely declared their confidence that the case. under surveillance was not yellow fever, but they no doubt feel a good deal easier now that the Inevitable lingering ele ment of doubt has been fully removed. The Atlanta Methodist preachers discussed the subject of prayer and the answering of prayer at their Mon day meeting, and one of them, Rev. C. C. Jarrell, pastor of Grace Church, advanced the belief that all human prayers are “edited” in heaven. Then there are editors in heaven, and they are still doing hard work. The United States army has about as much use for lieutenant-generals as Switzerland has for admirals. Never theless, these expensive military orna- meats are being created and retired at a rate which almost makes us dizzy. Verily, the favor of the administration In tills day and generation is about the fattest thing under the sun. . Yes, let’s have the park aad a mos quttoless summer, too.
