A GREAT PROJECT ENDORSED
Connecting Link Tamiami Trail Will
be Built via Charlotte Harbor
and Punfa Gorda

The one missing link in the
Tamiami Trail is now practically
assured as the result of an inter-
county good roads meeting held in
Englewood, near the Manatee and
DeSoto county line, Wednesday
evening, of last week. The meet
ing was not merely harmonious,
without a dissenting voice, it was
red-hot enthusiastic from start to
finish. Besides the visiting dele
cations from Sarasota and from
PHnta Gorda, on the south shore
of Charlotte Harbor, there was an
attendance from the surrounding
territory that helped to fill the En-
glewood school house with good
roads enthusiasm.
From the special district in
Manatee county that will be or
ganized in consequence of this
meeting the attendance was said
to constitute good majority of
those who will vote at the election
for bonding this district, all will
ing and anxious to sign.
Since the decision against con-
Meeting Arcadia with Manatee
county through central DeSoto
there has been a hiatus in the line
of the proposed highway between
Tampa and Miami. Thanks to the
good roads boosters in southeast
ern Manatee and northeastern De-
Soto new route can now be es-
tablished by way of the Gulf
shore and connect with the Lee
county road from Fort Myers.
This will be done through the eff
forts of the Southern Gulf High
way association, organized at this
meeting as an addition to the in
ter-county forces working for
good roads in Florida.
Mayor A, B. Edwards of Sara
sofa was elected chairman, State
Senator Cooper, of Punta Gorda,
secretary, and City Attorney j. F.
Burket of Sarasota, assistant sec
retary. A joint committee of six
from DeSoto county and six from
the Englewood district was ap-
pointed to lay out the proposed
route, with meeting place on the
county line. During the evening
this was satisfactorily planned
and Attorney Burket was retain
ed to draw up the petition to the
Manatee county commissioners
for the special road and bridge
district that will connect the high
way with the SaraSota-Venioe dis
trict. AS a member of this joint
committee the Englewood men
chose T. G.. Williams of the South
ern Investment company, which
has begun the development of
large holdings in both counties
and is planning a railroad to con-
meet the Seaboard with the Char
lotte Harbor & Northern. Mr..
Williams told the meeting he be-
lieved the proposed highway
would do the district more good
than railroad, and his company
was willing to be taxed for what
ever road work might be decided
upon.
Other rousing speeches promis-
ing support were made by Com
missioner ]. W. Ponder, from the
Sarasota district of Manatee coun-
ty, DeSote Commissioners John
Hagan, Of Charlotte Harbor and
w. N. Whitten of Punta Gorda,
Senator Cooper, P. E. Buchan, En-
giewood storekeeper; w. Fl. Dav-
is and others. 1t was stated that
fully 95 per cent, perhaps every
one, of the voters in the proposed
Charlotte Harbor district favored
the road, and the Englewood peo-

is not contributed free of charge by
the dentists Of the town. but is per

Careful Records Required.
The reason for this iS that TO ger

Of the week, as is the case at the Pa

Opinion is being freely expressed IN
the dental association that this work
should be taken over by the govern

willing to contribute their services
but they feel that in order to make
the work a permanent success the
dental chair should be in charge o.

RAMOS.

No more saIutary thing has been done in
Hawaii in years than Governor Pinkham s
pardon of Richard Ramos.
It is not that a penniess and fricndless
Filipino is the object of executive cIcmency;
II is not that for one individual the justice of
the court has been tempered by the mercy Of
the capitol. 1t is that with a stroke of the pen
the governor has conferred the already blazing
light of public opinion upon a judicial act
which he terms discrimination among
elasses,' and has rebuked that discrimination.
Anything less than full pardon for Ramos
would have failed of the needful effect. Ramos
may not have deserved Immediate freedom.
But the governors action voiced not the de-
mands of public conscience in the Ramos case
lit voiced the demands of public conscience
in the shocking incident made up of the Hoogs,
Abrams and Ramos cases. And it voiced these
demands of public conscience in tones that now
cannot possibly be mistaken.

STANDING FOR AN IDEAL.

In another column today the Star Bulletin
publishes one of the most remarkable speeches
OF TINS generation of public life. 1t was made
py Ellhu Root before the New York state con-
stltutlonal convention, of which he was chair
man.
Senator Root, with magnificent idcaIsm.
pleaded for the adoption of constitution
which would check ''invisiblc government. ~
which would repudiate the boss and bossism.
which would make the state government more
direetly and definitely responsible to the pco-
pie. And as practical measure he urged with
All ms splendid force the adoption Of "short
ballot" constitution
His ideals and those of his fellow delegates
prevailed. The progressive theories were
Recognized as correct
Honolulu is conf ronted now with the prob
lem of revising it's charter. There are two
main groups at work in the charter conven-
ton. One is the group which seeks to shorten
the ballot to remove from politics at least some
OF the city departments, to make all depart
nents more responsive to the people. In this
1 group there are strong differences of opinion
which must be reconciled if any progress is to
be made
In the other main group are few men ap-
parently sincere in their belief that no radical
change in heeharter is necessary; few other
men who apparently for entirely political pur
poses are urging charter that is vicious; and
number of men who are ignorant of modern
municipal methods and whose natural distrust

teInDf politics make it easy for the politicians
to line them up against the short ballot" pro-
posals. ~. '1"....:
The vital pressing problem which confronts
those convention members VINO sincerely wish

differences without sacrificing the essential
