TRIED TO ABOLISH
coNFUSIANISM
(Ry Associated Press. J

Peking, Sept. 10. Because OF the
late Yuan Shi-kai's espOusal of Con-
fucianism and the important part
that religion, or philosophy, played
in the effort to restore the monarchy,
Republican members of parlia-
ment recently made an attempt to
have Confusianism abolished by leg
islation on the theory that such ac-
ton would grant greater freedom of
conscience and insure the perpetuity
Of the Republic.
This step aroused great indignation
amcng the modern admirers of Con-
fucius and called forth a shower of
protests. Kang Yu-wei, the distin-
guished scholar, who is among the
prominent publicists who oppose the
eradication of Confusianism, tele-
graphed to the central government
declaring that the Confucian religion
is distinctly the religion of China,
and that if it be rejected Chinese
would become like brutes. What
would be the use of the knees" he
asked, eff they be not employed for
the worship of Confucius?"
Premier Tuan Chi-iui replied that
the public has great reverence for
Ccnfucius, but that this reverence Is
in the hearts of the public and that
it is no longer necessary for them to
PROSTATE their body on the ground
to show their respect for China's
great sage.
In spite of the efforts of politicians
to keep religion out Of the political
turmoil in China, various religious
agitators have been able to intensity
the internal troubles of the Chinese
republic. China has no State relig-
ion even Yuan Shi-kai did not show

WHY KNOTT WON

After the votes had all been cast
in Duval county. II became the duty
of the inspectors to put down oppo-
site the name Of each candidate the
votes that had been cast for him.
Where more than two were running
for the same Office they had to record
the first choice votes horizontally
across the sheet opposite the name Of
the candidate for whom they were
cast and in addition had to record
the second choice votes vertically
under the name Of the candidates

THE GEORGIA WAY

The democracy of Florida may learn
lesson from the primary system in
vogue i'm our sister state of Georgia
On Tuesday there was an enthusi
astic, old-time democratic convention
held at Macon. Ga.
This convention nominated a ticket
and enunciated a platform.
! The candidates nominated were
those who had already been selected
in primary by the people: the plat
form simply defined democratic prin.
ciples and policies.
There was enthusiasm of the old
time democratic sort and when the
delegates returned to their various
homes they carried great waves of
this enthusiasm with them.
The convention unifies; 1t heals
sore spots; ii binds up the wounds in.
fiicted in the primary skirmish; 1t
makes the pathway to political duty
smooth.
II would do the same thing in Flor
ida were we to adopt the Georgia sys-
tenn of primary nominations.
Here the democratic cohorts have
not been together in convention in
over sixteen years. We are becoming
strangers to each other and i'm our in.
tercourse as strangers are becoming
suspicious one of the other.
Why not have the primary and the
convention, both? Why not seek out
a method that will give coberency to
our estranged democratic particles?
There is widespread dissatisfaction
with the workings of our present pri
mary law and the next legislature Is
sure to repeal it altogether for
simpler form, or tear il 10 pieces 81
that its parents will never recognize
1t. Why not inquire into the Georgia
plan?
In that state, as we understand the
law, the democratic electors vote for
their several candidates for particu-
lar offices, and each county has a GER
tain number of delegates who at a
later date attend a state convention
ana carry out the wishes Of the voter
as expressed in the primary.
There is no use longer to disguise
The fact that the democracy of Florida
Is torn and bleeding. There is no
well defined system of party work, |
principles Of democracy are being
forgotten through neglect of their re- |
peated enunciation. Young men fail
TO see and hence to appreciate the
for which the party stands.
ihey are democrats in name only. and
are on the point Of asking that old
question What's a manner"
frequent conventions made up Of
the best brains of the party and the
frequent threshing out of state ones.
