RIGID QUARANTINE
The spread of the Spanish influenza
epidemic during the past ten
days has resulted in the city council
adopting heroic methods to combat
this malady, effective today. The town
hrs been practically placed under mil
itary control to enforce tin* quaran
tine regulations, and il is the duty ot
••very resident to co-operate with the
health authorities in the endeavor to
check the disease.
All public place:-,, such as schools,
‘lunches, theaters and dance halls are
to remain closed, while owners of
pool halls and hotels are not
to permit people to congregate.
Business house., must also caution
their customers against loitering in
the stores after having made their
pun bases. At the restaurants over
crowding is prevented by the removal
of every other stool from the counter
t and permitting hut two persons to oc
cupy a table.
Idtutenant Buftum has a squad of
Soldiers detailed to patrol the town
; nd enforce the* health regulations.
They will also make daily visits to
the isolated cabins in the effort to
locate any new cases of influenza, so
tl.it the* victims may he properly
taken care of.
As soon as a new supply of serum,
which is expected tonight, arrives,
inoculations will he made free of
< barge, and as this is considered a
sure pi event ion. all who have* not al
ready don <> should take “a shot in
tile arm."
Influenza is in the* air. and for your
own safety every precaution should
he taken to ward off the disease and
ah o to prevent its spread. The health
officer, report that at present there
arc about one hundred and twenty
f it:-' ■ in Cordova, and there is great
need of volunteer nurses and other
help for the homes which are af
flicted, as the inmates are unable' to
• i * for themselves and require as- j
si tame from willing hands.
A* many physicians contend that
the tenoral wearing of masks is in
sanitary, if not dangerous, no attempt
v ill bo made to force people about
town to wear masks, although It Is ,
generally agreed thnt thoHo who come
In contact with the disease In their j
homes should wear masks, so as not
to carry the germs outside. In this
cuse they should bo kept clean and
sanitary. Influenza is miasmatic, and
when a mask becomes moist it ts
more dangerous to the wearer than
if it were not worn, because of capll
Irry attraction.

TRADE WITH GERMANY?
_
Many people appear to be much ex
ercised as to whether the United
States should resume normal trade
with Germany after peace is signed.
The New York Journal of Commerce
recently published an interview with
someone it characterized as a "man
deeply interested in shipping and for- j
eign trade." In the interview the gen- j
tlcman referred to said, among other ;
things:
"Keeling as 1 do at the present time,
1 should ignore Germany with the
same feeling of bitterness that 1 would
any species of creeping reptile with
prisonous fangs. She should be ostra
cized by the nations and allowed to
continue in her degenerate downward ,
course until every drop of llun blood |
has been soaked up in oblivion. That
is my personal feeling, understand. !
Now, from a business standpoint, I
am going to consider the proposition j
differentlv I do not believe that any-!
one knows at this period what the al
lied countries are going to do with j
Germany from a commercial point of'
view. Under the adjustment of our
economical problems 1 suppose that
it would be childish to sever trade re
lations with Germany. At present
it is a eunuch empire, incapable of
performing a commercial function."
There is a world of good sense in
this. It is not safe to determine our |
future and permanent conduct by our
present bitter feelings toward Ger- 1
many. A commercial boycott as a j
national policy is un-American and j
unwise While the national govern- [
merit w ill not and can not control in- j
dividual action in the refusal to pur- j
chase German goods, it can, neverthe
less, refuse to make personal prejud
ice the basis of a national policy in
legislative and executive departments.
This question of future trade with
Germany seems to be a matter of busi
ness and nothing else The only thing
the United States should seriously
look after is the danger of permitting
Germany to enter our domestic mar
kets without paying an adequate toll
in the shape of an import duty. Trade
between the United States and Ger
many can be resumed on natural and
normal lines w ithout sacrificing Amer
ican patriotism, provided that no Ger
man products are permitted to enter
our markets to compete unfairly with [
X ..._i.1.
The country will not stand for Mr.
Wilson’s program involving the "re
moval as far as possible of economic ,
barriers" between nations either on
patriotic. sentimental or business
grounds It will insist upon a sensi- !
ble and businesslike treatment of the
case, looking primarily to the inter
est of the United States; for patriots
are interested in the United States
first.
'I'rude with (lermany? Yes. if the :
trading does not injure the producers
or the laborers of the United States;
of America. That is the only test.
