La Grande Physicians Do Not '
Favor Continuation of the Ban
on Business-All are Firm for
Rigid, Unbending Quarantine
The community has turned to the
medical fraternity for advice at a time
like this when the city's business sec
tion is closed or partially closed be
cause of an epidemic. The Observer,
in order to give as much light on the
situation as possible, has consulted
the following physicians and here
with prints their opinions on the pro
posed continued closing program:
Dr. A. L. Kichardson, city health
physician, says:
"I am convinced now that wc have
tried closing the business section, as
well as churches, theatres and amuse
ment halls, that it accomplishes very
little if anything. I do believe dances
should continue under the ban and
that large mass meetings should not
be permitted. Ordinary business such
as we have in La Grande daily should
le openca ana me oan entirely micu,
is my view of the matter, with n rigid
quarantine effective on those who are
afflicted with the disease."
Dr. Whiting, who is treating many
cases of the disease, says:
"I believe the orders for closing are
wholly useless nnd in no way effective.
The only way to handle such a condi -
tion as we nave nere is to quarantine
in a way that is positive. There is
nothing gained in putting a ban on
business."
Dr. Dora Underwood, who has late
ly returned from the east where the
best medical authorities in the world
re giving the influenza problem the
deepest study, says:
"After considering this situation
we have in La Grande earnestly and
deeply I am convinced that the ban
on ordinary business is of no avail.
The best authorities we have do not
recommend such a thing and they in
sist on strict quarantine of patients
afflicted. This I believe the thing to
do and I believe La Grande will fight
the epidemic in the best way possible
if we will all sec that a quarantine is J
established firmly and take the ban on
of business."
Dr. Ray W. Logan, who has been
very active in tho study of the disease
and has gone to extreme measures to
get information on the situation in the
east and south, says:
"We are always as a community wil
ling to try anything at a time like
this with the hope of accomplishing
results, but there is no question in my
mind now but what the only way to
handle the influenza situation is to
stick religiously to quarantine of the
patients. There is nothing to be gain
ed by the business ban which is now
in operation. It is probably well that
it was tried for we will all feel better
to know we have tried the extreme
measures, but nil authorities now
state the quarantine is the' only effec
tive measure and I, therefore, can see
no reason why a ban should continue
on business in La Grande."
Dr. C. T. Bacon, member of the
state board of health and one of the
oldest practitioners in Eastern Ore
gon, says:
"The closing order has hardly been
in effect long enough to determine re
sults. It is an innovation and one that
is more or less of an unknown quan
tity. It does not seem to me, how
ever, that closing the business section
of the citv will get the desired results.
I am very firm in believing in the
quarantine, and a quarantine that is
binding at that, but I doubt very
much the wisdom of continuing the
order on the .business section."
Dr. G. L. Diggers was found late
this afternoon when he had hurried
into his office for a moment from at
tending cases of influenza, and when
asked his opinion relative to the clos
ing onfer he siiid:
, "I am opposed to it for I (To not be
lieve it is of ny .benefit whatever.
People who-are coughing and sneez;
ine should be tared for.and' isolated led nearly all nightv
and taught how to be careful, but asj There is plenty of work at Ham

ingAll Business Places Will

"There is no disposition to be con
trary about opening," said Mrs. H. B.
Leiter today, "but the show houses of
La Grande have been fair and have re
mained closed to give the matter, a
trial without protest. I feel that tho
time has come when as a property
owner and one who conducts a business
that is recognized by the United States
government, I have a :nght to equal
consideration with all other business
houses. I shall open tko theatro to
morrow when the ban on business goes
off." -V
When asked what she would do if
the city decided "to close her theatre,
she said:
"The city probably has a right to
do that very thing and I. am not argu
ing that point, but under the misun
derstanding and the conflicting orders
there is hardly a business concern that
knows where it stands and it iB not
improper to open as per orders of the
health officers contained in the same
order that ordered closing. Thero is
no feeling in this matter whatever and
if we are able to determine our rights
as property owners nnd business peo
ple we feel that we should do so. Yes,
we will try to dctenn wnat we Dencvc
is right and there will be no crowding
or packing of houses. Proper consid
eration will be given to everyone anil

OPEN SATURDAY
Deep Consideration Is
Needed,
, La GrSnde is a city of. 7000 peo
ple. It serves more (infii 20,000
-people in a business way. To close,,
this city indefinitely is a serious
matter. So serious, in fact, that
the deepest consideration should
be given and the' precedents" of
other cities carefully looked into
before such a thing is permitted,
i For a number of days business
has been suspended with the hope
of helping the influenza situation.
Butj in the minds of many very
sane thinking people this is not
the way to fight the disease ef
fectively. We havo but to look at
cities of the northwest territory .
nnd cities of the .east to benefit
by the wisdom of men schooled in
handling epidemics and also in
handling municipalities, to learn
that opinion has centered on the
one chief benefit that of enforc-,
ing a strict quarantine of cases of
the disease. There is probably not
another city in the UnitW States
that took the drastic measure La
'Grande look in. closing the busi
ness section, and in very many
cities that are well organized and
well officered thcrd has been a
lifting of the ban; on churches,
schools, show houses and enter
tainment places. These cities ar
gue thnt the individual case is the
one to isolate and quarantine, and
they further argue that 'business
should go on as usual because the
public mind is thus; partinlly at
least taken from the continuous
thought of the diseuse, putting
people in better shape physically
to throw ff the germ.
At last night's meeting of the
city commission it was fully ex
pected that the ban on La Grande
would be entirely lifted, but tho
commissioners were not Inclined
to go that far. They are still in
clined to hold to an order clos
ing churches, amusement places
and picture shows, nnd Commis
sioner McKennon expressed a be
' lief that while -stores might be
opened for business the number
of people permitted to enter each
store should be restricted.
It is possible the commissioners
may nave overlooked the educa
tion the general public has re
ceived and. the desire on the pub
lic to render self-protection, for
undoubtedly after all that has
been printed on the situation the
people of La Grande' will not '
crowd any building to the extent
of danger.
La Grande should not be closed
longer. As Commissioner Gran
dy remarked 'last evening, "tho
whole matter, while intended for
the very best, is kids' play." Ho
referred to the ban on stores not
being permitted to serve the trade
and people being forced to stand
at the door or enter ono drug
store and fail. to get the merchan
dise wanted only to wajk to an
other store handling the particu
lar line and be served nt tho en
trance. Grandy is right it is child's
play and the sooner we get on a
basis of a positive quarantine and
open the avenues of business the
better off everyone will be.
The Observer believes that
everything'has been done with the
sole idea of aiding public health,
but we have now reached a point
where it Is not only useless, but
it is unfair and discriminatory, to
use hatd and fast rules longer
when we have abundant precedent
of other cities before us who have
gone through nfl phases wf the in
fluenza epidemic.
I.et us join with the commission
ers in a conference of wasonft in
. sitting that La Grande no longer
be paralyzed by i'ying t, stop a
stream nt its mouth when it
should be slopped at the source t
