The Duval Democrat Club has de-
cided on November 9th as the day
when its members shall meet and hold
a primary for the selection of demo-
cratic candidate for mayor Of Jack
sonville. Now when did the democ-
racy of Jacksonville decide to DELEGATE
its power of making nominations to a
club? 1t is presumed that there are
a few democrats in that city who are
outside the club-a few more than
there are inside-and at this distance
it looks as if club nomination would
mean the equivalent of defeat at the
rolls. Real democratic nominations
should never be made in a corner, or
by a CLIQUE.

GREAT BRITAIN
AND IT'S ARMY.

The eyes of the nations are meas
uring the distance from Ostend to
Dover. And yet the English move
heavily, complacently, unperturbed.
For a thousand years no foe has
been able to set foot on English soil.
Napoleon commanded the coast Of Eu-
rope from the Hook of Holland to
the Bay of Biscay, yet his eyes looked
in vain across the channel.
In her island security the English
knew war only remotely. Not as
poor Belgium knew it, not as the we'll
drenched German provinces knew it,
but as an impersonal thing, She
boasted of her "far-fung battle
line" in antipodean emprise, but her
people never saw a battle-line.
This explains in some part the
strange failure of Britain to rush ar
mics to the rescue of Belgium. She
has no such thing. The English
have abhorred standing armies.
Since Cromwell and the Stuarts
they have legislated against the SOL
der. A soldier can't hold office, must
absent himself where two civilians are
talking politics, must not vote. They
feared the man on horseback as a
menace to British constitutional lib
critics.
A feet, however, can't upset home
government. No admiral on Horse
back" can seize power by a coup
d'etat. 1t is all right to have a stand
ing fleet, sailing the high seas, rul-
ing for Britannica.
War and world power have never
crushed the English civilians toes.

IMPORTANCE
OF COOPERATION.

Individual achievements will not
build up a permanent rural civiliza-
ton. General neighborhood develop
ment must find a basis in community
cooperation. The admonition of the
Wise Man of Isreal that whatsoever
thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy
might; for there is no work, nor de-
vice, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in
the grave whittier thou goest," is as
true today as it was thirty centuries
ago.
The Standard Oil Company, the Gulf
Refining Company, the great packing
houses, the government, the armies
shooting each other to death in Eu-
rope, could not succeed except through
cooperation.
In the rural community there is too

Hence the slowness of the British
military readiness just now.
There are 100000 soldiers now be-
ing made in England from the raw
material. She will not foolishly sac
rifce these raw recruits against the
trained German machine. In SIX
months it is likely she will have a
million men available. Meanwhile
Belgium, and maybe France, will SUI
fer sorely-but not the British civil
ian unless disaster befalls at sea.
The English army may be convert
ed into mince meat by the German
machine. But, obviously, she will
first have to raise her army before
it can be put out of business.

F. W. R. Human, business mana
ger of the Florida Times Union,
whose death at the hands of an in
sane man on the Clyde Steamship Mo-
hawk off the North Carolina coast
last week sent a shock of sorrow from
one end of the State to the other, was
a conspicuous example of the sue
cessful newspaper manager who had
reached the summit through honora-
Bile effort. There are men who ap-
proach to his eXhaltation of charac-
ter, but none who have overtopped
him. He was clean man, a modest
man, kindly Christian spirit. He
began at the bottom and worked his
way by honorable methods till he had
reached the topmost rung of his cho-
sen life work, where he continued the
! same honorable methods. The death
of such a man is always deplorable,
but when death strikes such a man it
finds him ready, and therein lies the
value of the life of F. W. R. Human,
as bequeathed in example to his fell
low men.
