' -.- " ' Smallppx, the most , conugious dis ease knKn to science, has recently an Vftii1waifommunity. All who have not bees successfully vaccinated within the last five years are in danger of eoa- iracung ine onease unless tney are vaccinated at once. ' If you have no been vaccinated, you have good cause ror aiarm; it yoq have, you need have no fear of contracting smallpox. Until lately the State required small pox to be quarantined. The State Board of Health shall now no longer advocate or insist upon the quarantine of small pox. ' The Board takes this position for three reasons: . V ; First, Quarantine Is an uncertain pro tectipn; vaccination a certain protection. Quarantine works positive harm in many cases by giving people a false sense of security against the disease, thereby tempting them to. forego tbe certai protection which vaccination would give tnem. -: -. - . , i Second,. Ojiaran tine is a very expen slve protection. The cost of the quar antine oFamallpox to the State in re cent years hat approximated " $100,000 annually or enough to more than main tain the gtafe University. Thurtl, Quai-antine is inequitable. By ii the taxes tl at all contribute are used to protect a class. The majority of the people, having been vaccinated, secure no protection from quarautine, as they are already protected. Vaccination ia duty a duty, first, to one a self, and, second, to one's com munity. sYou should preserve your own health In order to accomplish the most good pot Bible in the world, and you should take precautions to prevent your carrying disjase to others.

Spot Prices Cotton Goods In Demand. New York. April 27. Cotton advan ced ateadily for a time owing to heavy rains especially in the a action east of the Mississippi river. They were- ac eompanied by bad reporta in regard to floods In tbe lower f isaisaippi Valley. where some sections wore said la be un der 5 to 15 feet of water, which had swept over thousands of acres of fer tile land. Farm work in many sections is said to be two weeks to a month be hind. In tbe meantime, the spat mar kets have been firm Cotton goods have been strong with a good demand. Spin uora nave oeeo ouying . ine next e-op months,' Liverpool spot sales at times L I 1 have been liberal. Tuesday . Waldorf Astoria operators are said to have bought 75.000 to ltO.000 bales of Oct. and December here. Wall Street and spot interests have alao bought at times rreely. The Waldorf buying was be lieved to be for both sides of the ac count, but in the main for a rise. Liv erpoolhas sent some buying orders. The continent bas been buying at Liv erpool. Some experienced people here doubt the possibi ity now of a crop of 14,000,000 bales beiog raised this sea son. They also believe that a crop of that size 1s imperative. Heavy rains have prevailed at times in tbe Atlantic and Eastern Gulf States. The cordi- tions in that section improved on Wed nesday and Thurday and very many fa vorable reports have been received from Texas and Oklahoma, particularly fiom texaa. Those have eiven riBa to tha belief that tbe next Texai crop may easily exceed any ever before raised. On Thursday came very heavy liquida tion coincident with a good weather map, In fact on Wednesday there was also some heavy selling. Liverpool pri ces have latterly been rather disappin- ting. Liquidation has evidently been going on there as well aa in America many believe that with a rmriorl of a couple of weeks of good wea her at the South the lost arronnd w.aiM h largely made up. Others maintain that the eonsump tion ia being overestimated an j t 'at in all likelihood a big surplus will bs car ried over into the next season, which would ofraet very largely even a con siderable decrease in the next croo Liverpool and tbe continent have at times sold here and there has been a good deal of liquidation for loial West ern and Southern account as well as for Wall street interests. It is largely a weather market On Friday spot sales in Liverpool jumped to 14,000 bales. Little plxn'ing bsa been done in Geor gia and Alabama. Latterly, however, under the pressure of liquidation, some action in prices bas occurred. Ice Cream Freezers that freeze cream faster and make mixture better "ALASKA" at Basnight Hdw. Co.

Col. Roosevelt asserted that at a meeting with hie cabinet, at which Mrs Tift was pres-. ent, it was decided that the Bureau of Corporations be instructed fp complete its investigation of the Harvester Co. before any suit was instituted, follow ing the usual course of procedure to such cases. ;' Mr. Taft. be added, con- curred in the decision. iJ During the remainder of his adminis- ' tration, a period of a year and a half. Colonel Roosevelt said, the Commission er of Corporation!! was unable to com plete his investigation He said that inthstlire years of the present ad ministration Mr. Taft at any time could have ordered the Attorney , General to bring suit against the Harvester Com pany, or could have requested the Com missioner of Corporations to hasten bis investigation, but that; Mr. Taft had taken no action "except that now ta ken five daya before the Massachusetts primary." Col. Roosevelt also said that when the Northern Securities suit was brought against the Morgan interests in 1904, he was expecting to run for president, but that when the Harvest er Company matter came up in 1907, he knew he would not be a candidate the . following year, so that if the action ta ken in this rase did secure the good will "of any of the Morgan interests for anybody, I secured their good wilt for Taft Colenel Roosevelt then refers in de- ' tail to correspondence regarding the Harvester Trust matter between him self, Qharles J. Bonaparte, Attorney General un ier President Roosevelt, ard Herbert. Knox Smith, - then and now -Commissioner of Corporations. - s s "Over three years have elapsed since Mr.. Taft became President", said Mr. Roosevelt During this entire time the letter nf Mr. Smith has been in the of- . fice of the Attorney General, and Mr, Taft cannot have forgotten the' debate about it in the cabinet meeting whrn he was a member of the cabinet and in which he took part. During these 3 years Mr. Taft cou'd at any time have ordered tbe Attorney General to pro ceed against the Harvester Trust with- . out tegard to tbe report, or have re- . quested the commissioner of Co rpora- tions either to hurry up the report 'or to give them the reasons why it was im possible to hurry it up. ; , Not only dii I nob-suppress any pa- " p -rs connected with the case, but I left every paper on file either in the Depart- ment of Juatice or in Bureau of Corpo-. rations, and if anything wrong had been done, either in the way of omission or ommission, the administration bad 3 years and 2 months in which to correct the wrong." . . ,, . . . levlva 1 Thii Week at Tabernacle.
