DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
FOR DEMOCRATS

II the contest Of Hen. W. Y. Knott
does nothing else. il viii likely serve
notice that the Democratic primary
of Florida is no longer the place
where a heterogeneous mass Of nom
descripts of any and all political
faiths can come in and help to name
the nominees.
Florida has so long been Demo-
cratic certainty that election officers
have. in many instances, been very
lax in the enforcement Of the rule
that none but Democrats may partie-
ipate in the primaries.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
election books which show under
what political faith voter is regis
tered. and the further fact that the
said officer is under oath to permit
none but Democrats to participate in
the primary. many of other political
faiths do vote in the Democratic pri-

candidates that they are sure to
vote against wherever and whenever
their own political parties have can
didates in the race. In rare instances
even those of another faith are nom
mated on the Democratic ticket.
The Democratic primary is an in
stitution of the Democratic party. to
/ be participated in alone by Demo-
Gratis. and If election officers so far
forget themselves as to allow those
Of other political faiths to partici-
| rate. no matter what the excuse,
then that precinct should be exclud-
ed in the final count, for the very
institution has then been prostitut-
ed, and does not express the wishes
Of the Democratic voters.
Now that Mr.. Knott has begun
the fight, we hope that it will be
carried through in detail. and that
only the choice of the Democrats
will be placed on the ticket as Dem
ocratic candidates.

HE FOLLOWED HIS ORDERS

Never state as a fact anything

editor warned the new reporter, "or
you will get us into libel suits. In
such cases use the words alleged
claimed, reputed,' 'rumored,' and
so on
And then this paragraph appeared
in the society notes of the paper:
1T is rumored that card party
was given yesterday by number of
reputed ladies. Mrs. Smith, gossip
says, was hostess. 1t is alleged that
the guests, with the exception Of
Mrs. Bellinger, who says she halls
from Leavitt's Junction, were all
from here. Mrs. Smith claims to be
the wife of Archibald Smith, the So
called Honest Man trading on Key
street"
And when the editor had read the
report a whirling mass claiming to
be the reporter was projected
through the window and struck the
street with a dull thud.

LITTLE TIME FOR
MORNING PAPER

Mr.. Frank A. Munsey, a newspa-
per and magazine man of wide ex-
perience, has just bought the New
York Sun, and is to combine it with
the New York Press, which he has
owned for some time. Mr.. Munsey
has had much to do with newspa-
pers, both morning and evening, and
with magazines that have a national
reputation. We find him thus quot
ed in the New York World:
The average man has half an
hour or less to devote to his morn
ing paper, and it is a mistake to
give him twelve hours of reading.
This tells the story of how morn
ing paper is read in a manner that
brings it home directly to every one
who is interested in the proposition.
1t is especially interesting to adver-
tisers. Mr.. Munsey, no doubt. speaks
his true convictions when he de-
declares that thirty minutes or less
, is all the time the average man can
give to a morning paper. 1t is the
evening paper that is thoroughly
read by both the husband and the
wife. 1t is the one in which all
that it contains is enjoyed when the
household work is over and the dis
cussion of the days events is under
way by those in the family circle
1t comes when the developments OF
the DAY are fresh and newsy. It pro-
vides a means for outlining a pro-
gram of action for the evening and
the following day that can be Sc
cured in no other way.-Savannah

Many Florida towns report pleas
ant Fourth of July celebrations,
though, on the whole, the demon
strations seem to have been less
noisy in character than usual. This
does not mean that the patriotism of
the people Is lessened in degree; in
deed. the patriotic spirit was never
more alive. The conditions prevail
ing in our country have a tendency
to make us take our patriotism a

Dear Mr.. Tacker:

Dear Mr.. Tacker:
The carnations you had sent to me
here arrived a rev minutes after we
did. Too bad you couldn't select
them yourself, but they are beauti-
full.
Do you care if tell Mabel that
you sent them? She tells everything,
especially when she is jealous Of me.
She told about Mr.. King saying /
was an unusual type Of girl, and he
had to say that he didn't mean it
as a compliment, but he did; he told
me he did. l hate, though, to see a
fellow give a compliment that can be
explained, and I'd hate to marry a
man that cautious, or one so trained
in explanations. can imagine him
keeping his money under his pillow,
and saying he was afraid the baby
would swallow it.
You certainly do see a difference
between the boys who drink plenty
of Chero-Cola and those who do not.
The Chero-Cola boys are more cheer
full and brave, so much more Iowa

BY the way, you drink Chero-
Cola, don't you?
Many thanks again, love carna-

Political defeat has not affected
the infinite variety of Editor Jordan
when 1t comes TO producing fish
stories. According to Bro. Jordan
some unique improvements are going
forward in the good town of Punta
Gorda. Among them are aquariums
at all street Intersections, connected
by the surface drains with the bay,
and in these aquariums, sixteen
feet in circumference and four feet
deep" bait will be placed to en-
tice "mullet, trout. pompano, Span
ish mackerel, crabs, stingaree, and
all other species OF marine crea-
lures" to come up through the
drains from the bay, for the inspec-
ton Of visitors. Porpoises will be
muzzied as they approach the aquar-
iums. so that they will not injure
other fish. A man will have to walk
pretty circumspectly coming home
from lodge in that town to keep out
OF these aQuariums, we should
think; though in that atmosphere he
ought to be able to tell his wife 9

is EXAMINED.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Sharp
controversy in congress over the flu
ture of the national guard in the fed
eral military system was foreshadowed
Wednesday at hearings before com
mittees of both the house and senate.
Major-General Scott, chief of the
army encountered vigorous cross
examination by members of the house
military committee when he touched
upon results of the mobilization of the
state troops for border duty as shown
in the general staff report based on
information furnished by regular army
inspectors. Conclusions drawn to sup
port the contention that the guard
system is inefficient and unreliable
were questioned, and it was indicated
that the head OF the army would face
searching questioning today.

OFFICIALLY WINTER COMMENCED
AT NOON TODAY, ALTHOUGH
HERE SOME TIME.

This is the shortest day of the year.
Officially winter has just commenced
and fall ended. As matter of fact,
however, as the people hereabouts can
testify, winter this year did not wait
to be officially ushered in. 1t came
days and days ago and seems inclined
to remain It should end on March q.
but all too often it is brazen enough
to linger in the lap of spring. Anyway
the sun rose later and will set earlier
today than in any other day of the
year. After tomorrow the days will
begin to lengthen, hardly pereeptibly
at first. but by the middle of January
a marked difference will be noted.
