In a recent article in the Manufacturers Rec
ord reprinted in the Tribune today Mr. J. E.
Ingraham, vice president Of the Florida East
Coast railroad (Flager sys.em) is quoted as be-
ing surprised that the federal government,
whether under Democratic or Republican control,
has never seemed to appreciate the advantage
of Florida, and therefore has never taken active
part in fits reclamation work, in the kindred
activities which would have enormously devel-
oped the state for the good of the entire country
To man in Florida more than to Mr. Ingra-
ham could this be a surprise; because probably
man in Florida has spent more time in the
reclamation and development of the state than
he. In charge of the great land and the develop
ment department of the Florida East Coast rail-
road J. y IngFaham has spent millions upon
millions Of dollars, and for every dollar he has
seen resulting repayment with big interest in the
way of land made fit for et.lement, settlements
turned into cities, and cities become great en-
poriums of trade and travel.
And let no one think that his work has been
alone for the east coast of Florida, or that his
in crest conferred solely in the great railroad
which he helped to build through a country
which he reclaimed from the unknown and the

state without benehttiug to great degree the

turned first to Florida it fixed its eye on the east
coast 1t was the possibilities Of that side which
led the ambition of others to seek fame, for .une
and a lasting name by development of other parts
of the state. So, James e. Ingraham, the execu-
tive Of the East Coast interes became the pat
tern for emulation by many others whose work
in Florida also stands as monuments to them.

MISSING THE BIG BET

The hubbub created by their mnistrations is for

the efforts.
The trouble seems to be that they are missing
what is really The best bet of their lives.
Among The hundreds of thousands who are
working overtime to persuade or compel Others to

The methods adopted by the Sacred College
in selecting pope suggest possible reform in
legislative system. Suppose legislators were
locked in and forbidden to see or speak to any
body but each other or to read any newspapers or
otEer publications, until adjournment. the result
might be fewer laws, but there would be vastly
less lobbying and the few things passed might
really be in the interest of the public If even
cardinal can not be trusted with lobbyist, why
tempt the common or garden variety of modern
