AT first thought you may say
There is no connection between
the two, but it's there just the
same, especially in Florida.
In as much as most men and
women are selfsh--they won't
sacrifice personal comfort and
convenience for the general good
it becomes necessary to make
laws land to enforce them) by
which the greatest good for the
greatest number shall be secured.
Some house keepers won t keep
their premises clean; they insist
on scattering garbage all over
the back yard to invite flies and
spread disease, and unless the law
intervenes to protect the neigh
bors, they become nuisance and
a menace to the community.
Laws are of no particular use
if they are not enforced. Once a
law finds place on the statute
books, it is there for the protec-
ton of the people, and no public
official charged with the admins
tration of laws has the right to
choose which shall and which
shall not be enforced. A good
many officials are like the sloven-
ly housekeeper, and there is no
law to compel them to their duty,
excepting the power Of the people
who elected them to their places.
1t is essential that such men be
placed in office as will legislate in
diligently for the public good.
They may be entirely honest, but
if they are ignorant and can't or
won't absorb wisdom, they have
no right to hold office. 1t is a
duty that the voter owes himself
and his neighbors to see that his

enactment by various legislatures
! of a considerable number of laws
whose sole and unselfsh object is
to conserve public health. These
laws have been the results OF
years of close study of the condi-
tons that they aim to remedy.
Some of these laws are practical
ly dead because they have not
been generally enforced. The
State Board, not being clothed
with executive authority, is pow
erless to force the observance of
these laws, powerless beyond the
power that belongs to every citi-
zen to bring notice and proof OF
violation to the attention of adj
ministrative officials. Oftimes
and repeatedly it has entered
such complaints and it has asked
those in power to enforce the laws
which would bring relief from a.
voidable evils, and its complaints
have been ignored.
The Board asks cooperation "a
mong the voters of Florida at the
elections in June, to secure the Sc
lection III every county in the
state of men who appreciate the
fact that health is the biggest as
set that the public or the individ-
ual possesses or can possess, who
will conscientiously and actively
and aggressively remember this
fact after election, as well as be-
fore, and who will have the well
fare, the healthfulness of their
communities as a burden on their
souls as long as they hold public
office.-State Board of Health.

Health and Politics

legislator, his sheriff and county
commissioner are honest, intelll-
gent and progressive. And there
is quite as much to be feared from
Ignorance as from crOokedness.
1t is a duty of every voter to
inform himself as to the attitude
Of every candidate for office to-
ward the health matters of Flori-
da. Every candidate from aspir-
ants for the governOrship to those
who want to be constables, should
be asked to declare himself in
public utterance on health mat
tiers. Each should state whether
the administration of the State
Health Department, in his opin-
ion, has been satisfactory, and
whether or not he is willing and
will, when called upon, support
reasonable measures for the pro-
lection of public health in the
state. There should be no trad
ing for votes by candidates where
the health of the state can posi-
bly, be made the basis of exchange
or influence. If the people of
Florida are dissatisfied with the
conduct of the Health Depart
ment through its progressive and
successful management of more
than twenty-five years, let them
express themselves to that effect
in their votes. If the candidates,
representing the people favor a
change, let them be honest and
fearless in saying so. Make them
tell the voters what they believe
could be enacted into law to i'm
prove present conditions in the
health status of Florida.
