The Florida Presidential
Primary Plan.

More or less confusion seems to
have resulted in some of the states
which are this year for the first time
taking advantage Of the presidential
primary.
Nearly every state has plan all of
its own. No two have exactly the
same plan. Four years hence the va
rious plans viii no doubt be simplif1ed
and Of more uniform character.
In the adoption of plans for the
presidential primary. the other states
may well study and profit by the Flor
ida plan which IL the simplest and
most accurate in operation today.
Under the Florida plan. the names
Of the candidates for president are
printed on the ballot. II no candidate
receives a majority in the first primary
then the two highest are voted on in
the second primary. The one who re-
ceives the majority in the second pri-
mary gets the support OF the states
delegation at the national convention.
The delegates are also elected in the
primary and each one of them must
receive a majority vote. either in his
congressional district or over the state
at large, according as to whether he is
a district or state at large candidate.
If any fail to receive a majority In
the first primary they must run the
race over in the second primary.
No delegate can get his name print
ed on the primary ballot unless he
makes a pledge to abide by the result
OF the primary and to support in the
national convention the candidate
whom a majority of the democrats of
the state endorse for presidential
nominee.
1t is all very simple and is in ac-
cordance with the plan which Florida
has followed for years in the nominal
tion of all her public servants.
Other states which already have, or
which expect to adopt, the presiden-
tial primary may profit by studying
the Florida plan.

Endorsement
BY the Teachers.

While in session in Charleston last
week the South Carolina Teachers
Association endorsed the measure for
the medical inspection of schools. Be-
fore the teachers went on record as
favoring the measure II had previously
been endorsed by the South Carolina
Medical Association and the South
Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs.
with such endorsement there is
little probability of the measure fall
ing to become law at the next OPP
portunity. The last legislature passed
the bill, but 1t was vetoed by Governor
Blease, who, by the way, is the most
unpopular governor the state has had
in many years,
The Journal has upon many occa-
sions made itself clear on the subject
of medical inspection in the schools.
It believes in 1t now more than 1t did
a year ago because figures are avail
able now that were not public matter
at that time.
More than seventeen hundred deaths
occur in the United States every day
from preventable diseases, and while
we have not the statistics on the mat
ter It is reasonable to suppose that
the school room is the place where the
first seeds of disease are sown.
Bad ventilation and bad light may
weaken the constitutions of children
and thus make them the prey of many
contagious and infectious diseases.
with medical inspection in the
schools the pupils who are slightly af-
fiicted may be given attention, for in
many cases the children nor their
parents realize that they are laboring
under difficulties and have weaknesses
physically that may be easily over
come.
Medical Inspection in schools will
bring the children to realize that to
take care Of their physical selves is
the best work they can do. Especially

Steps Scalp Itch
Dandruff and Every Form of Scalp
Disease Cured Quick by Zeno.

1t is simply wonderful how Zemo
goes after dandruff. You rub a little
of it in with tips of the fingers. 1t
gets right down into the glands, slim
ulates them, stops the itch, and
makes the head feel fine. No, it isn't
sticky! Zemo is a fine, clear, vanish
ing liquid. You don't have to even
wash your hands after using Zemo.
And what a wonder 1t is for eczema,
rash, pimples and all skin Affections.
A 25-cent trial bottle at the Crystal
Pharmacy is guaranteed to stop any
skin irritation.
Zemo is prepared by T. W. Rose
Medicine Co, St. Louis. Mo, and is
regularly sold by druggists at 81 a
bottle. But to prove what it will do
at trif1ing expense, Zemo is now put
up in 25-cent trial bottles.

prevails.

closely for the last position that 1t Is

A gorgeous thing in frills and lace,
A beauteous, veil surmounted face.
A sweeping train that gathers all
The carpet microbes in the hall,
As down the stairs in perfect time
And proudly steps, serene, sublime,
She leans upon the arm of age.
Admired by debutante and sage;
A hundred necks are craned to view
The picture and pay homage due.
She rules a queen without a throne,
Unto the strains of Mendelssohn.
The crowd bows as it hears the tune
And grovels to the bride Of June.
A sickly thing in full dress suit,
Snow white cravat and polished boot,
Stands as an invited guest
Alone. apart from all the rest.
A thing forlorn, without a friend
In homage or respect to bend.
At him nobody seeks to stare.
In fact, nobody knows he's there.
He has the smallest part TO play
OF any in the cast that day.
His speaking lire hes learned clear
Though,

Important as the court buffoon,
He's nothing but the groom Of June.
