' r'' * = V No legislator has yet introduced a: v bill in the General Assembly fixing a minimum amount which every man V should pay into the public treasury V for the education of his children. i' ' ??? In reply to numerous inquiries, we] p; beg to advise that we do not know! tl the address of the gentleman, who fi advised the farmers to hold their ]j cotton 'for thirty-five cents per S pound. ei - > - d The legislature being in session the ( si rich man is now being charged with j n the payment of the bills for good p schools, good r?ads, good salaries, j p 'and good times. We will not abuse' h him for having the money to pay all c: these bills until the next campaign. b Those people who are always so anxious to attend court, and who get so much pleasure out of the pro- jf * ceedings, should be willing to pay q the judges a reasonable salary for jT the entertainment furnished them; h The order of the Local Board of j jy Health forbidding people to assem ble together for public meetings, ?i( probably includes faculty meetings t< of the Set-back College. The reports to the City Clerk by g ' y the physicians each day as to the ;i( number of new cases of flu in the a city should be accompanied by the names of those people who have con- q tracted the disease. */ d, We knbw a good many people who n' .have flu who "have not been to ^ school, nor to church, nor to the movies. The malady is in the air as ^ well as in other places. , i, CHANGE THE TIME. d< vi i The resolution adopted by the ai state senate 011 yesterday looking to bj an adjournment of the legislature ^ until July should have serious con- ^ sideration if, as the doctors think, M the dangers of contracting the pre- fe vailing disease is increased by pub- h( . "ic assemblies of the people. We could not imagine a better place to ^ spread the disease than in the two | Wl houses of the General Assembly, al vn.ys crowded, always over-heated, ^ and always but poorly ventilated. And this leads us to suggest that ^ it is a good time for the members of the General Assembly to consider changing the time of meeting permanently. The General Assembly is supposed to be composed of repre- 13 entatives of the people from all professions and all callings. There is hot a more inopportune time in the year for people to leave their homes ?ind places of business than in Janurry and February. It is the busiest season of the year for the lawyer and the banker; the farmer should ^ be at home for the purpose of be- ec^ ginning planting operations, and lay- "*? ing plans for the future crop; the ^ merchant must be at home for the w' collection of his accounts, and the *u financing of his business for another ot year: while there is no spawn nf *v>o year which makes greater or more to persistent demands upon the physi- Sli cian than in these two months. m And Speaking of the physicians, he we are reminded that it is in these months that colds, pneumonia, la 00 grippe, and! kindred diseases, are most apt to be contracted, and to re- ^ suit fatally. There* is-not a session m of the legislature that some mem- re ber, or attache' o^^i'e-,b6d? ^ either seriously sick from, or a vietim-of* ^tte of these .WlajttSr '' )f M the'ia"ctoata^cfag, wfcicty ^ we are persuaded it is, we see ,no reason to think that old time colds, a pneumonia and the other kindred I fc:feY. ' .... v . seases, are not also contagious. Ir ct, experience, as well as the besi edical thought, teaches that al ese diseases are more or less con gious. It follows that the meet g of the General Assembly at th< ne now provided by law is at th< >ry worst season of the year fron ? Ktanav-int ?* P^serving th< ifilth e! the members and employees the body, as well as of those peo e who must from necessity be ir tendance upon the sessions, at on< ne or another. There is nQ season which coul< i suggested against whieh objec ons might not be urged, but we d< >t believe that a more objactional ne can be found in any month o le year than the time fixed by la\ t present.
