When the American army was with
drawn from Cuba to make way for
President Palma the island had been
freed from yellow fever and other
preventable diseases. The Cuban,
however, ceased to maintain santa

Again. the island was occupied by
an American military body and by an
American civil administration With
the army went many excellent medI-
cal officers. and sanitation of a rigid
sort was re-eStabliSbed, even in San

Cuban preiudiceS were not permitted
to lessen sanitation The result Is
before us. Cuba is no longer a part
of the yellow fever zone IT is as
healthy and wholesome almost as the
canal zone itself The mosquito has
been fought in its lair. The CThan
physicians have been enlisted in the
work, and il viii be a pity indeed IL

that the party depends, after all, be-
cause it is the country paper that
reaches the thought and feeling OF
the great body of democrats OF the
country
The city daily has its work to DO.
The Journal is going about the task
vigorously and with no little success,
but the local papers as a body can do
even more than the city daily From
such large body of voters as Pen
sacola, Jacksonville and Tampa con
tain, it is natural that party organiza-
tons may be formed successfully ana
generous contributions received In
the country club organization is not
so easy on account of the voters living
too far from one another to con-
gregate for this purpose: But the
strong encouragement that the state
press is giving to the formation OF
Bryan and Kern clubs, and the EN-
phatic call for money, is going to re-
suit in fine party work in every pre-
cinct in the state.
Keep up the splendid work and let
every county vie with its neighbor in
the great good that can be accom-
plished by the formation of Bryan and
Kern clubs, and the collection Of cam
paign contributions.
