DEATH or Mr.. KENNETH MacKAy

Just as we were going to press last
week we heard of the death Of Mr..
Kenneth MacKay, brother of our good
citizen, Mr.. George MacKay. We
didn't have time then to find out the
particulars.
Mr. MacKay had been in Ocala just
week, having come from his home
in Yonkers, N. Y, hoping that the fine
Florida climate would restore him to
health, but to no avail, he kept getting
worse, and on Wednesday he was
taken to the hospital and on Friday
at noon he closed his eyes in death.
He was like his brother, very prom
inent builder and contractor in his
home town, Yonkers, N. Y, where he
had been living since coming from
Scotland, thirty-five years ago. He
was a splendid type of a gentleman,
and had many friends in Ocala that
he had made on a recent visit to his
brother.
Besides his only brother, Mr. George
MacKay of this city he leaves a de-
voted wife and six children to mourn
for him. After having short funeral
service over his remains on Saturday,
conducted by Rev. J. ]. Neighbor of
the Episcopal church, his body was
sent to his home in Yonkers, accom-
panied by his brother and daughter,
Mss Elizabeth MacKay, who arrived
too late to see her father before his
DEATH
The Ocala friends offer their deep
sympathy to the family.

Mr. KaIeT's "kurIent comments
IN the Desoto County News says that
tbe democracy of the fathers" is
rood enough for Tom Marshall and
should be good enough for all. The
vice president would do well to put
hlmself in touch with the democracy
III today. To study and endeavor to
solve present-day problems. Instead
"A Linking backwards" he should look
forward--he should have vision OF
the future and try 70 put his party in
a position 20 meet and overcome the
vexlng questions that are likely TO
confront it-Ocala Banner.
Principles have not changed since
our forefathers made the constitution.
Men and conditions have changed.
Our forbears were denied the privi-
leee accorded them by certain prin-
clples. They perceived what they did
not have and what they needed to
establish Justice, insure domestic
tranquility promote the gen.
eral welfare and secure the blessings
Of liberty 20 themselves and poster
hy. The immortal instrument they
gave as as our organic law is suffi.
Gent assurance that they saw and in
an effective way guaranteed the bless
ines OF fundamental, inherent, inalien-
able principles 10 both themselves and
posterity.
They did not make principle. They
established reconition Of principle.
They gave posterity valuable
thing. II has been enjoyed but not as
fully appreciated as by our forefath-
ers. who also felt the pangs Of time
when fundamental privileges were
not recognized.
Their democracy grew out OF a groD
ing for ana a fight for well-defined
human rights Our democracy can not
be brought more fully 10 date than
that principle that was principle is
principle. We live now, but principle
lives IN the eternal present.
The complexity Of the present-day
problems makes II appropriate ito
study and endeavor 10 solve present
day problems" But these same pres.
ent-day problems obscure the principle
involved and make II appropriate that
we look backward in order that we
raev the better look forward.
With our pioneers in government
things were not always as they were
when they left the scene Of action.
Bot with pcsterity things have al
wee been tAus" We contend for
constitutional guarantees largely be-
cause We imagine II world be unsat.
isfactofy not 70 enjoy them. II is
largely theory with us. But our fath.
ers fought FOR recognition Of certain
democratic principles because they
knew BY grievous experience THAT 4
was making life veritable he'll TO
live without that recognition.
They knew facts--not theory.
They saw clearly that which com
plex present-day problems render OBJ
scure.
Again We say: Let Mr.. Marshall do
al the Ocala Banner says do: but let
him look Al the democracy fthe prin.
