When.Mr. Hardwick spoke up
and expressed his sentime n t s
against the parcel post, except In a
very limited form, he struck a note
that will not appeal to many folks
who have seen how* successfully it
has worked.
It seems that the tax law his
solved a serious state problem and
that there were those running: for
office who tried to make political
capital out of it, accusing those
who voted for it of treachery to the
Interest of the people.
Mr. Hardwick doesn’t want to
debate with anybody but Slaton and
he knows that Slaton wont debate
but sits In the Governors office
attending to his duties. Congress
man Hardwick might spend a few
hours in Washington doing the same
thing without hurting the party.
It seems that some of these for
Smith newspapers would do well to
investigate a little more fully be
fore they attack Slaton so vici
ously. The two would make
combination equal to any in the
United States senate and Slaton
has many friends In Georgia and so
has Hoke. *

There has been no hesitation, no

“Indignation” over the announce
ment that the health of the city was
in danger. New Orleans has learn
ed by years of bitter experience with
yellow' fever that temporizing and
denial always give disease more time
to develop. j
The locai nealth officers promptly
recognized the disease. The State
health authorities were immediately
notified and took action at once. Be
fore the facts had time to appear In
the dally press, the United States
Public Health Service had been
called on for assistance. Surgeon-
General Blue and Surgeon Creel are
now In charge of the situation. Wide
experience gained In fighting this
disease in Honolulu and 3an Fran
cisco has given General Blue a train
ing for this task possessed by few, if
any, other sanitarians, while Sur
geon Creel’s mastery work in Porto
Rico, in controlling the plague on
that island, is w'ell known.
Swift, decisive and effective ac
tion Is necessary on the part of lo-
state and national health offl-
The Immediate co-operation of
the general public and especially of
all railroad transportation and local
officials is also necessary. Ports
reached by shipping must be watch
ed to prevent landing of the rod
ents responsible for spreading the
disease.
It is impossible to state at pres
ent the extent of the Infection or
the number of hidden cases, but we
may rest assured, says The Journal
of the American Medical Association,
that the fight will be waged with th*
aid of all the weapons of modern
science, and that all necessary funds
will be promptly provided.
Some one has said that the first
yellow' fever patient always dies, so
also with bubonic plague. A char
acteristic of this disease is that it
smolders unrecognized and suddenly
breaks out, aparently from a n
ber of different centers of Infection.
The discovery of two cases In New
Orleans indicates that there are
other persons Infected, and we may
look for the report of additional
cases in the course of the next week
