Sadler of Carlisle as State Highway Commissioner under Gov ernor Sproul cannot be improved upon. The writer has known Mr. Sadler since he was n boy. Gover nor Sproul can make no better choice for this office. Mr. Sadler is a lawyer by profession, but is essen tially a businessman; just the type needed at the head of this most important department of the state government. This department, ever since its establishment, has been more or less involved in factional politics, and this has proven some what of a handicap. While Mr. Sad ler is a stalwart Republican, he is too big a man to permit a depart ment of which he is the head to be made the football for politicians. He would conduct the department as he would any other legitimate business enterprise. While his ac ceptance would involve a consider able sacrifice of time and leisure, he has such a high sense of civic duty that ho might be Induced to make a personal sacrifice. The Governor-elect Is to be congratu lated on his sagacity in designating for this highly important office the high type of businessman and ad ministrator which Mr. Sadler's friends know that he really is.
