WHITE PRIMARY
PLAN IN TAMPA.
tTampa Herald)

SsS y y = 2 z = = y 2 = = < -
The Herald IS especially pleased at
the action Of the County Democratic
Executive Committee Saturday in TAX
ing hold OF the white primary plan for
Tampa and making a start in that di-
rectiOn.
For more than two years the Herald
has held that such a plan was the
greatest need of Tampa politics and
this paper has consistently urged the
adpOtiOn OF the white primary plan
for the city. There is no sane reason
why the plan should not work fully
as well in Tampas municipal politics
as It does in local politics Of other
cities. It has been tried for years in
other places and found to be success
full and a great improvement over the
old style Of scrambling for Office and
buying cOlored votes to place men in
power.
The Herald has oontended that there
we're many good points in the plan OF
holding white primaries for city cleo
tons in Tampa and has therefore ad-
vocated this plan. it being the first in
line. It has contended that the plan
should at least be given a fair trial IN
Tampa in order that people might have
an opportunity Of fully Judging of it's
merits after a thorough test. If 1t
failed to bring out the satisfactory
points here that it has developer in
other cities, then the plan could be
abandoned. The idea seems to have
at last taken a firm hold upon the pso-
pie and we are now in a fair way to
have test of the system, and the Her
aid believes that It viii be found fully
up to all that its friends claim for It.
The County Committee is to be com
mended for its brOad-minded policy Of
giving the people of Tampa this op-
portunity to have a white primary and
make a test of its efficiency.
OF course, it is realized that there
will be some opposition to the plan at
first. There may also be some defects
il its first trial All Of these things
must be taken into consideration in
forming judgment on the system after
IL is tried. Those who oppose the plan
viii no doubt do all they can to bring
the system into disrepute. Just as was
done in regard to the primary system
for state and county affairs. but thu
people would not give up that plan
now, even to please the old-time con-
vention bosses. We believe the same
results viii be attained from the use of
the primary system in the city.
The Herald is, especially pleased
over the action of the committee in
preparing a way to give the system a
test.

a whole year without swallowing
either food or drink, and for three
years she never slept, while DR.. william,
an eighteenth century physician. had
among his patients a monomaniac who
FOR sixty-one days refused to touch
food of any description.
About the same time, too, we are in
formed that a French peasant boy OF
Chateauroux was never known TO par
take OF food during twelve months, and
yet was able to do good days work
on his fathers farm.
DR.. Plot, in his Natural History OF
Stanordshire, tells a remarkable story
Of a woman, one Mary WaughtOn Of
Wigginton, who appears to have re-
duced the problem Of living to its low
est material limits. Thus, says her
historian, "she does not eat In a day
q piece above the size Of half a crown
In bread and butter, or, If meat, not
above the quantity Of a pigeons egg
at most, while her only beverage was
a spoonful Of milk and water daily,
and yet, although this was Mary's mod
est fare year after year, she, is de-
scribed as "a maiden Of fresh com
plexion and healthy enough"
Another Staffordshire worthy Of the
eighteenth century, one John Adams,
lived for thirty years, tits said, on a daily
crust Of bread and a glass Of water,
and yet was famed for his muscular
strength and his blowing perform
ances. Unfortunately we do not know
what John ate when nobody was look
ing.
In the two cases which follow we get
on to more reliable ground, since the
feats described are little more remark
able than those Of our own time. In
1771 a Stamford man made a wager
of E1O that he would touch neither food
nor drink for fifty-one days, and he
won his bet handsomely. The records,
however, are silent as to the price he
afterward paid for his defiance Of ma
ture.
The second Of these old time fasters
was the famous John Scott Of TeviOt-
dale. whose fasts have survived to our
own day enshrined in border verse.
Johns first experiment as a faster was
when he was incarcerated for not pay
ing his creditors So indignant was
he that not a mouthful Of prison fare
passed his lips for thirty-twO days.
The fame Of this feat got abroad, and
the king, curious to test the man I'M
der stringent conditions, had him
locked up " in a loaf Of bread and
jug Of water in a room in Edinburgh
castle.
When the door was opened at the
end Of thirty-two days the bread and

seemed none the worse for his Austen

SOME NOTED FASTERS
FEATs OF PERSONS WHO WENT LONG
PERIODS WITHOUT FOOD.

Girl who lived For Nearly Four
Years on water AIone-Fasts of the
Famous EnslisBwan, John scott.

fifty days on a Spartan diet limited to
sips Of water.
But even such feats as these are
mere pauses between meals compared
with some of the fasts of still more re-
mote generations, if we are to believe
contemporary records. Thus we learn
that a young French girl, Christina
Michelot, after an attack Of fever was

As our medical contemporary well
says, science has won at every point
where it has been applied and where
the physicians and the people would
permit it to be applied. And as it also
well says. the most Of the opposition
has come from men who ought to know
better.
The medical journal undoubtedly re-
fers % the opposition of certain ply.
sicisns to the work Of the health su-
thorities and it sizes them up exactly
right-they ought to know better. In
times like this, the opposition Of one
physician can do more harm among the
ignorant and the thoughtless classes
Of people than all the other forms Of
opposition combined.
Ignorance itself can be controlled.
An ignorant man can usually be shown
the error Of his way. But when he is
led by his medical adviser into a
course Numerically opposed TO the &C.
cepted theories of science and practice
everywhere, no one can blame the ig-
norant mantle blame lies with the
physician who is responsible for the
mans dangerous attitude.
The only criticism that can possibly
be made Of the work Of the physicians
and health ofHcials who have labored
SO hard to control the fever in Pensa-
cola is the fact that they have fail
ca 70 publicly expose and condemn the
opposition Of those other physicians
who have been such a stumbling block

been waging.
If any Of the ''other physicians" re-
ferred to think The Journals diagnosis
OF their case is not correct, they may
feel at perfect liberty to publish their
opinion to that effect in these columns.
