advertising transportation. The blackmail argu-
ment, for the most part, is the shallow pretense
OF hypocrtical bribe-givers.
But those who discuss the baneful influence
of passes ON public officials almost always over
look the most pernicious feature of the free
pass system. Thousands of passes given
every week by the railways of the country to
individuals who hold public Offices These
passes are determinations against those who do
not receive passes. They are always given for
return favors. To the big shippers they are
part of the rebates. But whatever the purpose
for which they are given they are always dis
ordinations In reality these passes are never
free. They paid for by those who do not
receive passes. The big shipper receives the re-
bate and the general public pays the railways
for this transportation by being forced to pay
higher passenger rates. II the pass system were

Inevitably, bitter criticism of this recent

navy. Under the old system engineer officers
received special training, special commissions
and were a branch of the service distinct
from the line. Today every officer is sup
posed to be an expert in engineering, naviga-
tion, gunnery and so on; in fact, high
class jackof-all-trades on ship5oard. Engin-
eer officers suffered from the silly notion
that they were regarded as mechanics. They
wanted dignity, social distinction, as they saw
it, promotion and glory along with line Off
GERS, and congress assented. The result is
that men inexperienced in engineering have
been pitchforked into the engine-rOOms, and
nOn-cOmmiSsiOned officers have had often
times to bear the burden of the work with
out pay or honor. AS consequence, possibly

AS for the light to be thrown, by this

to all. But the light, if any, can be of little
value. The explosive forces, whether the
