JOCKEYING TOO EARLY

The guns of the last political campaign
had barely ceased booming when, at least
among the Democrats, campaigns for
presidential nominations commenced.
They are now moving merrily along. From
French Lick, that famous place of origin
for Democratic booms, comes report of
movements backing various presidential
possibilities and from other points are re-
ported corresponding movements Some
of those mentioned as favorites are known
to be receptive; others are named without
commitments one way or the other. The
hackers of these movements seem to be
proceeding on the theory that the candi-
date earliest in the field will catch the
nominating convention vote.
While preparedness in politics may be
all right, and while advance movement
may be effective, it will strike the average
citizen as taking time by too long fore
lock in thus inaugurating the political
campaign of 1924. Under bipartisan
government, politics must necessarily play
an important part, but it should not be
practiced to the exclusion of statesman
ship. In between elections the nation is
entitled to consideration by Congress and
party leaders should devote their energies
to meeting the needs of the public rather
than to jockeying for place in race that
will not be run until two years hence.

THE POLITICAL oUAcKs AT WORK

Recurrently over a period OF ninety
nine years proposals have been seriously
advanced to do away with the electoral
college and choose the president and wee
president by direct popular vote. These
movements, which never have gone very
far oct their impulse from individual
desire to capitalize political unrest as II
manifests itself from time to time; which
is not to say that all those who have
given support to them have been self
seekers without genuine concern for the
nublic welfare. But the fact that no
great popular enthusiasm for changing
the constitutional system of clectlng the
national executive ever has been deNel-
oped warrants the conclusion that the
peopIe are reasonably satisfied with the
present method or have no confidence III
the suggested reform.
There is significance in the appearance
now of this hoary scheme. There is
possibility that it may be presented to
Congress in the form of constitutional
amendment. Ostensibly it is to accord
TO the people what the opportunists sense
az their dearest desire, though it is not
unlikely that they have confused a no.
ton of their own with popular aspiration.
1t is already hinted that the present is
favorable time for making the change be-
cause a third party movement is taking
shape. The latter is also designed to
afford the people opportunity for free
expression in the choice of officers of
government; but it is idle to speculate
on this in the absence of any popular de-
monstration.
As to the direct election of presidents,
which would include direct nominations
as we'll, it would not be effort wasted to
calculate how many elections might have
been necessary in 1920 to ascertain the
peoples choice. If we could afford the
time and cost of multiplicity Of pollings,
is it likely that the general result would
be more satisfactory than that we are now
able to achieve?
In such movements as these lies the
greatest danger to our institutions and to
our government. Once tear away the
foundation stones upon which this great
government is built, and it will not be
long before the whole structure falls,

schools which now teach it, OF recuir.

RECOGNITION OF
WOMEN IN FLORIDA

Writers in few Florida papers who
persist in Showing" that women in
Florida are given no recognition which
they have not forced, will not be able
to prove the most recent recognition
OF woman in this state is due to any
compulsion on their part.
Governor Cary A Hardee has ap-
pointed Mrs. Henry Bellenger, of Pen
sacola, to be county judge of Escam-
bia county, succeeding her husband,
the late Hon. Henry Bellenger.
It is a signal recognition, first of the
rights of women to enjoy the honors
and emoluments of office as well as
to participate in the duties of the cleo
torate. 1t is, personally, q tribute to
the woman, who is amply qualified to
preside on the bench. 1t is further tes-
timony that in Florida the Democratic
party recognizes women as part of the
body polite and wants them to be one
in feet with the organization.
Madame Judge Bellenger is a woman
of fine intellectual attachments,
member of the bar of Pensacola, hav-
ing studied under her late husband,
and having been of great assistance to
him in the preparation of his cases
and in making his decisions She will,
if she accepts the commission, and it
is to be hoped she will, make jurist
of whom the state will be proud

ENDORSING HENRY FORD

The chamber Of commerce of Jack
! sonyille has joined the vast majority
! in recommending the acceptance Of
Henry FOrd's offer as to Muscle
| Shoals. The solid south was never
more solid politically than it is in ad-
vocatiug the acceptance of this offer.
1t is not because the people know in
detail the offer Mr.. Ford has made
but they have confidence in him as Il
business man who aceomplishes re-
suits through efficiency Instead OF
through government favor. They be-
Iieve he will do much for the fertilizer
industry and that he viii also do much
for the development Of other indus
tries.
The people are no more confident of
Henry Ford's dependence on efficiency
than they are of the selfish motives Of
the interests that are trying to thwart
his plans. It is strange that none Of
these bids that are coming in now
came in before Mr.. Ford made his Of
fer. The government had spent lens
of millions at Muscle Shoals and this
was supposed TO be worthless until
Henry Ford made an offer for it,
Straightaway its value became 50
widely appreciated that other PROPOSE
tons flowed in. but the general i'm
preston is that these offers are
mainly il not entirely inspired by a
desire TO keep Ford out
The fertilizer business is but a drop
in the bucket Of the good results the
people hope for from the operation Of
industries at Muscle Shoals By Henry
Ford 1t is believed that le would
give the country a new region OF var
led industry, a region whose Industries
would not depend on combinations or
on government fayors but that would
display an efficiency that would give
better II oducts for the money Or
cheaper products for the quality. II
is generally believed that Henry Ford
would furnish the country real compe-
tItion in many line, ana that this
would be OF inestinlable benefit TO the
consumer. II is also believed that this
fact IS the cause Of the array against.
his proposal Of the iuerests that are
fighting hEHl-F1orida Times Union.
