THE LAKELAND NEWS,
NO MATTER WHERE
HE COMES FROM

J. P. Clarkson, secretary of the
Florida State Good Roads Associa-
tion is said to favor the employment
of an out-of-the State good roads eX-
pert for the position of State high :
way engineer under the law passed
by the last Legislature. Opposition
to such a policy is developing and
we note that the Orlando Reporter
Star is urging Mr.. g. r. Ramsey, OF
Orlando, for the position
1t is of the very first Importance
that no politics or favoritism of any
kind should be allowed to influence
this appointment, and whether the
appointee be a citizen of Florida
or be brought from outside the State
is matter of no consequence, the
sole consideration being thoroughly
expert knowledge and efficiency of
the first class. The great ends in
view contemplated by the highway
commission law might easily be de-
feated in large part if a mere ques-
tion of State pride in selecting the
engineers should have more weight
than the consideration of perfect
fitness for the work Big corpora
tions and industrial plants in select
ing their executive heads and man,
ayers don't care snap where they
come from so they are the best men
for the places, and in that way only
can great enterprises be properly
managed and carried forward to
success.
1t takes special training and large
experience, with abundant eXecu-
tive ability. to properly fill the rlace
of State highway engineer, and it is
much more probable that the right
man can be found where modern
scientific roadbuilding has been con-
Quoted on a large scale and the hest
results secured than in a State where
such public work is yet in the early
stages of it's development.

to scorn paragraph in the Tele,

usual fidelity to truth and accuracy
that in natural beauty no city in
Florida can equal Lakeland. And
yet in the Times of a previous issue
Editor Straub freely admits that
Lakeland is fully the equal" Of St.
Pete in many respects. Very true,
natural beauty is not specifically

give us credit for those gifts nature
had bestowed upon us than for our

surpassed his own city.
