Must Pass Quarantine
It ha ben held by many people that
United States war vessel are exempt
from quarantine inspection on enter
ing port, but inquiry at the office. of
Dr. Holt, the federal quarantine ofh
cer for this port and district, elccits
the fact that all naval vessels arc re
quired to be boarded and passed,
though there is a provision of law
whereby the certificate of the physi
cian in charge of the vessel may be
accepted by the quarantine officer,
and thus the necessity for muster
and individual examination is obviat
cd, and this is more a matter of de
partmental courtesy than anything
else. But Uncle Sam's ships are
amenable to quarantine just the same
as any other ship if there happens to
be anything wrong on board, and they
instantly pass under the jurisdiction
of the local quarantine station until
they arc "safe to be at large."

ers hich they were happy to bestow
upon the brilliant young artiste of the
occasion. Miss Wise was assisted by
Miss Nona Lawler, a gifted soloist
whose work was received with de
light. The performance which Miss
Wise gave was elaborate and difficult,
as well as beautiful, in numbers and
rendition and confirms her as a de
voted student and an accomplished
musician, and embraced seven bril-

PORTLAXD, Or., May 27.-(To
the Editor.) Again in obedience to
the decision of the executive commit
tee of our Oregon State Equal Suf
frage Association I respectfully solicit
space in your columns," this time for a
brief effort to allay the apprehension
of our 40,000 women adherents, who
totally unarmed, are standing in the
open, awaiting the state election and
carrying a flag of truce. I allude to
the syndicate articles now going the
rounds of the state press, sent out by
Rev. Clarence True Wilson of the
Anti-Saloon League and by Mrs.
Ralph Wilbur of the opposite power,
said articles being accompanied by
cash at advertising rates, which many
county editors are as able or willing
to refuse as the writer of the follow
ing letter has proven himself to be,
and which is herewith offered for
publication because it is brief, brave
and to the point.

"Burns, Od., May 22, 1908.
"Dear Mrs. Duniway I just had
the pleasure of returning a check sent
to me with an article for publication
by the nabob anti-suffragists of your
city, and of telling Mrs. Wilburn that
my columns are not open to any mat
ter to keep my wife and daughters
from voting if they so desire. I hope
the cause will win and thus crown
your grand, good life work. Very
respectfully,
