The State Board of Healt'h 'ia issued a manifesto declaring its purpose to limit the quarantineb to the provisions of the lair id to subject to its penalties those who! are inflicting illegal requiremebts and hardships upon the public. No one will find fault with this an nouncement of the intentiion o the State Board of Health to do its dou ty as the law direct, but weacdiant refrain from observing thatTts ii"i ifesto would have been imp'rioved had the threat been left out, 'that if the civil powers be found)inade quate to remedy the evil the ;ze-. cntive of the State will be caled upon by this board to call out thie milita to restore and maintaib or der." The inference flows that the eo. vil powers in Louisiana are of very uncertain potency and this reaPrk is a painful reminder that the Le gislature of 1904, gave color to this inference by enacting itf6re clause in the milita bill which em powers Sheriffs, Judges, Mayors, ect., to call out the milita at their discretion. It is a flourish of the "big stick" by the State Board of Health, that was wholly superflous. -The People. A little forethought may save yes a end of trouble.
