DEFEAT MAJORITY IN
FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES

maries for local offices with the tacit
understanding they were to vote for
Democrats at the general election, but
were still Republicans in national af-
fairs
Thus the evil grew. Now at an cleo
ton when candidates for president of
the United States, presidential cleo
tors and congressman are voted for all
these Republicans line UP and cast
their ballots and in some instances
defeat the will of a majority Of the
Democrats.
The question is asked: is it right,
Is K Democratic to continue the exist
ence of these evils.
The Republicans are good enough
citizens and no one wants to deprive
them of their suffra ges. But let them
keep out of the Democratic primaries.
However, ii is hardly the fault OF
the Republican voters, but rather of
the Democrats who permit them to
vote.
A primary is nothing more nor less
than a convention on a bigger and
broader scale. No one would think Of
sending a Republican to a Democratic
convention and then why should they
he permitted to vote in Democratic
primaries?

POLITICIANS.
Burt E. May.
= . = = = . . = = . s

The politician is a species of an animal
most rare,
And street and public building is his
ordinary lair;
He's a dangerous sort of animal, whose
ravagings are awful,
And there is no open season when to
hunt him 1t is lawful;
The amount of damage he has done
has never yet been counted,
Though to a total terrible, it surely
must have mounted.
He's worse around election time, than
the balance of the year,
Though he keeps the common people
in a state of constant fear;
And while he doesn't kick or bite, or
scratch folks with his claws,
But by hi sendless Vaccinations, the
dear people overawes.
He has a Michavellian, and dark and
scheming mind;
And oft a4-disposition of the real old
Borgian kind.
A lasting love- he e'er processes, for
the people of the land,
And for their rights and privileges,
assumes a noble stand;
But his memory's as stable. as the
broad and rolling ocean,
And Of before election promises, he
afterward has no notion;
If we send him to the senate, we home
folks to represent,
It's ten to one he'll quick forget by
whom he has been sent.
His species has, for centuries past
ever growing worse.
Until in most localities, it has become
curse:
Till the people, suffering patiently, at
last awoke to reason,
Said the nuisance must be ended, and
declared the open season;
Invented then some weapons, to insure
his certain fall,
Twas the initiative, referendum, and
the sudden, swift recall

Perhaps the most important fact
brought out IN the recent so-called
Democratic primaries is the somewhat
startling one that the Republicans hold
the balance of power in Florida and
that they are already exercising that
advantage. As they have been con-

We Want No Class
Of Endowed Idlers.

1t has been our boast that an abiding
wealthy class was impossible in this
country, because the children of the
newly-rich, pampered in idleness,
pufted up with vanity, and capable of
taking on only thin veneer of educa-
ton, are united to control and keep
the fortunes left them.
The families that have retained large
wealth through many generations in
this country are extremely rare. The
natural law Is that the servants Of one
generation become the masters OF the
next, while the. wealth weakened sink
back into service.
But there Is a growing tendency TO
make OF great fortunes permanent in
situations, not to be shattered by mis-
management or dissipated by reckless
living.
These fortunes are no longer dis
tributed among a mans heirs, but are
kept intact and placed in the hands OF
trust companies for administration.
The heirs assume none of the re-
sponsibilities Of wealth, but simply re-
ceive an income.
Under the Marshall Field will, three
young children have approximately the
same endowment as that of Harvard
Yale. Columbia and Chicago Universe
ties combined.
Here is a method by which the nat.
ural law is being nullified and an abid.
ing rich class created.
The endowed may idle away Their
lives or ruin themselves, but the for.
tune and the income from it are secure
to generation after generation.
This means concentration OF tn,
great fortunes OF the country into tn,
control of trust companies.
Already an enormous part of the
productive wealth is held by a small
proportion Of the people. If the new
tendency keeps UP for a few years tAt
trust companies. or one trust company
will be in absolute control of the pro.
ductive wealth Of the United States
and will be holding every industrial
and political interest of the people il

The New Panier Skirt.
Have you seen the lady hobble
With a dizzy sort of wobble
Down the thoroughfare attracting,
In a manner most exacting,
Much attention with her latest sum-
mer fad, the Panier skirt?
Have you seen her start and totter
Like paralysis had got her?
Have you seen her list and stagger
IN her tight attire so swagger,
Just as though she found that walk
ing in the new creation hurt?
Have you paused to look and wonder,
Look and wonder how in thunder
She is going to travel gaily
In the crowd that fingers daily
In the swirling, seething whirlpool
at the bargain counter sale?
How will she. so tightly hoppled
Keep from being rudely toppled,
Keep from being rushed and shunted,
Hauled about and dragged and hunted.
Crushed and trampled in manner
that would turn a soldier pale?
1t will be the height Of folly
For her to pursue a trolley,
Making 1t by jumps and slipping,
And upon her new skirt tripping.
Just as gracefully as any ironbound
dill pickle keg.
To the crowd twill be diverting,
Though to her quite disconcerting,
When she lands upon her Marcel,
And aggrieved and battered parcel.
But it's stylish and she'll wear it if
she has to break a leg.
