The Illustrated Postcard.

illustrated postal cards have be-
come one Of the most pleasing features
OF modern intercourse by mail. They
commemorate every great enterprise
and carry its atmosphere into thou
sands of homes. They tell the story
OF travel better than all the descrip-
lions a tourist could write. Best of all
they take round the world sugges-
tions OF the beauty and charm OF
foreign lands and so tend to awaken
interest in other peoples and TO
broaden the sympathies.
BY a curious coincidence il has oc-
CURED to many governments at about
the same time TO limit The distribu-
ton of these cards. Thus in Russia

in Turkey it is forbidden TO circulate
either a reference TO Allah or Ma
homet or the portrait of a Mahometan
woman: In Saxony It is against the
law TO refer by this means TO certain
exploits Of the Princess Louise; Por-
tugal forbids jokes with his majesty

land. France and the United States
are al occupied with preventing Of
lenses against good taste.
Such limitations were to have been
expected. They are not serious and
that which concerns the good taste
OF the subject-matter is essential to
the permanency OF the institution. So
quaint scenes OF picturesque Holland

the wonders Of the 500 canal, the
art treasures of Italy, the nomadiC
life OF the Arabian desert, and thou
sand other subjects viii become more
and more familiar by this inexpensive
and universal medium. Fortunately
the cards are attaining undoubted
artistic excellence. AS long as the
postal service undertakes to transmit
them safely, therefore, they will con
tinue to give us pleasure and instruc
lion.

The Free Pass.

1t is a good sign that the press of
the country is fast lining up solidly
in opposition to the distribution of
free passes, franks. and other fayors
by corporations to public officials.
Time is not very far gone when the
man who proclaimed that the free
pass was no more and no less than an
insidious bribe was hooted at by
most Of the newspapers and public
lists that are now denouncing it. The
man who introduced an anti-pass bill
in a Legislature was promptly brand
ed as crank, and if he had the cour-
age TO press his proposition he was
likely 10 be ostracized socially and
antagoniZed politically 1t was de-
clared a species of peculiarly objec-
tionable Pharisaism for a legislator
to assume that any man would be
'bribed with a pass.
But the public, whose Judgment was
not warped, as was that of most of
the legislators, by the presence of a
book Of passes in its inside pocket,
sympathized with the anti-pass agita-
ton. II has grown into a firm con-
viction that passes and other forms
of corporate favors are wrong.
From an attitude of jeering hostili-
" the press is fast turning TO sup
port the movement. to do away with
'courtesies, and public men are get
ting in line. Many are refusing TO ac-
cept passes. The man who returns
them 10 the railroad company is nc
longer made a butt of ridicule. provid-
ed ne refrains from publishing letter
on the subject
1t is said that the proportions of
pass-using Senators and Representa-
tives is less today than it has been
in many years. The States are max

ton to outlaw the pass and the frank;
and public opinion, always apt TO
keep comfortably in the lead OF

stantially unanimous in its demand
Tor such action. In view OF some cur
rent disposition TO assume that graft
and 'infiooence" are more dominant
than in the past. it is comforting TO
note such a sign OF substantial con
cession TO an improved tone of pub
lie opinion.
