Comments Of State Press.
A Primary For Democrats

Orlando Citizen: The American
Eagle, Estero, contends that "the new
Bryan primary law will greatly weak
en- the Democratic party and drive
many of the voters into the independ-
ent ranks"
Not Democratic voters, Friend Ea-
gle. On the contrary it appears that
the object of the Nat Bryan primary
is to conserve the Democratic party
in Florida to Democrats, for under
the old plan the republican and the
independent walked into the Demo-
cratic fold and helped dictate who the
candidate should be, and often these
folks were "Agin the government"
and "forinst', the chap who wanted
to be the government. In other
words, it was policy to disrupt "The
powers that be-" because generally
after voting for their Democratic
preference in the Democratic primary
they turned about and voted for their
own party candidate in the general
election.
In the new primary bill the saving
clause is the very thing the Republi-
can and independent so strenuously
object to, i. e., the obligation that
the voter proposes to support the
Democratic ticket entire.
1t is true, however, that this will
probably mean, as we have pointed
out before, the crystalizing of the
opponents to the Florida Democracy
in a party of their own, and this is
but natural and proper; much more
so than that those of other party
affiliations should be used against
any Democratic candidate, whomso-
ever he may be.
There may be some very proper
corrections in this primary bill but
this is not one of them.

NEW SOURCE OF
MEAT SUPPLY.

Congressman Robert F. Broussard,
of Louisiana, is advocating the breed
ing of domesticated hippopotamus in
that state to take the place of swine.
This, he reasons, would cheaper he
cost of meats. At first his scheme
was laughed at, but agricultural ex-
perts are admitting that it would be
feasible. The type suggested is the
smaller variety of this amphibeous
beast.
No doubt hippopotamus outlets
would go well with hungry mans
bill of fare. We don't know just what
it would cost to start herd, or even
get pair of young hippos, but the
informa ton can no doubt be had from
Mr.. broussard.
1t would be quite an attraction to
tourists along the Ocklawaha to see
a bunch Of hippopotamus playing with
Glligato-s in the waters of that world
famous stream. The Nile would then
have nothing on the OSklawaha. The
government dredges are now straight
tening out the curves in the Ockla-
waha and this will leave numerous
bayous and they could be used for
hippo feeding grounds.
If the Thompsons and c. (Ed) Car
michael could get together OH this
proposition, Florida would still keep
right at the front in new achieve
ments. Mr.. Carmichael has good
deal of land along the Ocklawaha
and this new field of endeavor is one
to which he should give early atten-
ton.
Ocklawaha hippo steaks and roasts
with proper effort would soon drive
the Argentine wire grass beef out of
the eastern markets.

+ That the cost of the enterprises +
+ of this kingdom, as carried on =

+ heavily on any, it is levied upon +
+ ALL. This is apparent in the Old +
+ Testament period. There were, in 7

+ for these meetings the law was: +
+ "None shall appear before Me +
+ empty" Everybody must offer. +
+ And the principle limited here is =

+ equally clear: "Let everyone of :!

+ is the failure of so many to do :

+ imize this inequality and to en-
+ able all to share in the blessing +

+ ing touches the substance and +

The State Horticultural Society.


Editor Palatka News:
When the Palatka Board of Trade
secured the next meeting of the Flor
ida Horticultural Society for Palat-
ka, they gained an honor for our
town, and an opportunity for US to
show our appreciation and our hos
pitality to a body of men who have
been for many years, pioneers of
progress and development in matters
Horticultural.
The Florida Horticultural Socie-
ty has been practically the only me-
dunn of expression of the fruit pro-
ducing industry of our State. Dur
ing its life, citrus culture has grown
from an infant to sturdy youth and
nothing has so contributed to its cue
cess as the information which our
society has sown broadcast at its
meetings. Always it has kept clear
of politics, nor has it ever asked
/ financial support from the State.
Its president at this time is Pro-
fessor Hume, former Horticultural
specialist in the government employ
man of such ability that we have
never become reconciled to his change
in vocation, and of a personal charm
and success as a chairman that he
makes friends for the society and for
himself wherever meetings occur.
| believe that all Palatkans will find
these meetings surprisingly interest
ing. There will be papers by such
men as Prof. Rolls, and discussions
galore. Let US make a record in new
membership-see if we cannot outdc
such towns as Miami, Orlando, and
DeLand, and prove that the Gem City
is just little ahead of them in en-
terprise and interest. Attend the first
session-you will be sure to come
again. S. C. WARNER.

We have recently issued bills to
all subscribers in accordance with
the postal regulations for all sub
scriptions due and many of our sub

great favor if all those whose labels
show date of 19 or less will remit a
sufficient amount at once to bring the

The State-that is the name of a
new weekly newspaper dealing with
subjects in which Florida is interest
ed " and which has for its editor
William Bryan Mack, and for its
business manager and cartoonist A.
X. Taylor. Now that is some team,
and one capable of doing a real work
for Florida. The State is issued from
Jacksonville, and the first number is
before US. Politically it will sup
port the administrations doing it.
1t also tells us of the various candi-
dates for State offices, for the SEN
ate and Congress in an unbiased way.
1t is to be a real Florida newspaper,
clean and wholesome-it is so, rather,
from the start. 1t is to be progress
sive in its democracy and will uphold
the principles and doctrines of Will
liam Jennings Bryan. There is
room in the State for The State.
May it prosper and help others to do
so.
