The Election

ure upon personal friendship
without regard for the fitness for
the duties that the office involves.
Personal popularity has been a
strong plank in the platform, ey-
en- though it be an unwritten
platform.
The statute books of Florida
contain a considerable number OF
laws designed to conserve public
health in the state, but they have
been practically dead letters, be-
cause the officials chosen to en-
force laws impartially have fail
ed utterly and ANONYMOUSLY of
these duties in respect to these
particular enactments. Experts
in sanitation and health matters
know that a strict enforcement
of these same laws would materi-
ALLY benefit public healthSand les
sen the aggregate Of sickness.
Some of these negligent officials
are candidates for reelection
What are you going to do about
it?
Only two members Of a certain
recent city council in Jacksonville
ever visited the offices of the city
board of health during their
terms of office, and those two
went to demand "jobs'' for con-
stituents. When the budget COM
mittee of that same city council
fixed upon the annual appropria-
tons for the support of the health
department, it made a substantial
cut in the amount which the pre-
vieus year had kept that depart
ment on the verge of inefficiency
because of lack of proper and
sufficient funds.
That is not the kind of men
who are fitted for public service,
especially and least of all in mat
tefS felarlng to puDllc health.
The time is now, before the bal
lots are cast, to make sure of the
attitude of candidates for county
commissioners, for sheriffs, for
state attorneys in matters rdat-
ing to health and sanitation. OF
course, their prediction promis-
es will favor your expressed views
and it is up to you Mr.. Voter, to
judge of the value of those prom
ises.
1t was an emergency, an cpl
demic of yellow fever that took
its toll of several hundreds of val
liable lives, which led to the or
ganization of the State Board of
Health But why wait for the

ed and so forestall the emergen-
cy that may be avoided by pre-
paredness? - State Board of

proxy,
Nine. Petroff listened to this story,
and the count tangled that he saw
SIGH. which he attributed to the fact
that he was II married man. Indeed,
he had been captivated by the lady ana
was saddened Mt the thought that
marriage between him and her was
impossible. However. when they part
ed he took her address in the city ana
the very next day called upon her.
Nine. Petroff remained in Petrograd
some time and gave the count every
encoura cement to be with her. They
drove together. skated together. ana
Demidoff secured invitations for her
One day he told her that he loved her
and would be only too glad to marry
her were it not for the insurmountable
objection that kept them apart.
Notwithstanding the fact of that OBJ
lection. when Nine. Petrof returned to
her home she invited Count DemldoH
to visit her there He scarcely under
stood this. for she had given him evil
dence of being II good woman. ana II
friend to him it could only be wlfe'
and to he his wife was impossible. he
was loath to 20. feeling that since
he could not possess her he was only
sinking deeper in misery. He had
sOunGcd her on the matter or posi-
BILE return of the fortune he had re-
ceived from his wife and a divorce,
But she had declared that on no ac-
count would she marry divorced man.
When the count entered the place
wherein Nine. Petroff lived he was as.
tonished ut its magnificance. On en-
tering the house he found every lux
ury. His hostess introduced him 10
her mother. who lived with her, thus
making his visit perfectly proper.
Count Demidoff's stay in the home
of Nine Petroff was like visit to
| fairyland. Every day the hostess con-
| trived new methods of passing the
! time agreeably. One thing surprised
the count-there were no other guests
| except himself. Moreover, all the serv-
ants seemed to be acting as II they
| had been trained to Il part. When they
said Yes, madame" sometimes they
got it "Yes. Nine. Petroff," and at all
times they appeared to be saying what
the simple creatures were not used to
saying. One evening n lackey who
was sent to summon the count for din
ner said:
1.-THE countess awaits your excel
lency."
''The countessv' exclaimed Demidoff

Election time has come again.
Politics and political chances Will
divide public attention for the
next five months or more, with
the Mexican situation and the
war in Europe.
Presidential candidates are yet
| to be named, but aspirants for
local honors in Florida are before
the dear people, with all their
claims and promises and records.
The choice from these lists is to
Ibe made within the next few
weeks, and these choices are
more important to the individual
voter, for when you really come
to think it over, who is his tax
assessor and sheriff, his represen-
tative in the legislature and who
are the men that shall make and
enforce municipal and state laws,
is more important than who is the
President of the United States.
The enactment and administra-
ton of local and state laws are
more personally connected with
the individual welfare. Federal
government is more matter of
policies and less affected by the
personality of the administrators.
And this is particularly true of
the laws that regulate sanitary
and health matters, for the indi-
vidual and community health
is the biggest asset of the individ-
ual and community. Sickness
stops the producing capacity of
the individual, makes him a
charge upon his reserve fund. or
his friends. Epidemic disrupts
public business and finances.
Therefore, it is of prime impSr-
lance to every resident of Florida,
whether he be property owner,
tax payer or voter, who are the
men that make the laws to pro-
tect his health, and it is quite as
important who are the officials
that enforce the laws already up
on the statute books.
Not every man who has paid
his poll tax is a qualified voter,
at least morally. 1t is impossible
that every voter should know in
timately the personal qualifica-
tons for office of all who seek e.
lection to national or state places,
but it is within his power to know
| the men who seek municipal or
county offices, and upon these de-
ponds in largest measure the
character of legislation that is to
protect or fail to protect, physi-
cal welfare.
Just as in the years that are
passed the choice of men for pub
lie places depends in large meas

Nine. Petrof
By BARBARA PHIPPS

1t was midwinter in what was then
st. Petersburg, now Petrograd. A
party of ladies and gentlemen were
skating on the Neva. A lady was
standing somewhat apart from the 9th

two gentlemen go by her in company,
she turned to lady standing near and
asked who they were. She was i'll

duke, the other Count Demidoh. At
the mention of the latter name the in
quircr started. Her informant noticed
it and asked the cause. whereupon tle
other said something which interested
the hearer greatly.
Il am Nine. Garotsky,' the latter
said. II know the count very well.

meeting between you and him.
The next day Count Demidof re-
ceived an invitation to dinner with
Nine. Garotsky to meet friend of
hers from one of the provinces. He
accepted the invitation, and the mo-
ment he laid eyes on Il guest to whom
he was introduced as Nine. Petroff he
was struck with her beauty, Not only
that; he was delighted With her intelli,
