Those who expect position by virtue
of application, irrespective of merit, are
wasting time that should be more valna-
BILE in writing to either Cleveland or
Perry, but neither of these gentlemen
can possibly justify the full measure of
public expectation unless they surround
themselves with capable advisers. This
they will do. But trained public servants
are too scarce to be displaced merely
because the Nation or State begins neces-
sary work under the auspices of = new
head.
In Florida the interests of public edu-
cation are the most important, and here
trained thought is peculiarly valuable.
Major Russell has proved his fitness; his
ability is recognized, and his severe lsbors
have been followed by adequate results
which were of great weight in the deci-
sion of the recent canvass. Other things
being equal, A. ]. Russell would COM
mand the entire confidence of our people
as State Superintendent of Public In
struction, and a change in this Office
would necessitate a change in methods
and plans already at work most inimical
to the public welfare. We think our
Governor elect could not do better than
to retain so valuable and important an
officer
