PASSES HALF A CENTURY AGO.

In the archives of the Pennsylvania
 railroad IS letter from James Buch- anan, then president of the United
 States, dated March 24. 1859. return ing a free ticket on the Northern Cen tral railroad, acknowledging the cour- tesy in polite terms. and stating that it had been the practice of his life not to travel free on any railroad, be- ing opposed as he was to the whole system of granting such privileges to individuals not connected with the roads. This was nearly fifty years ago. It shows that issuing railroad passes Is not a new thing, though in the time of James Buchanan the rail road system was insignificant in com parison with that of the present, and free transportation was a rare boon and good deal in the nature of an honor to the person receiving it. The propriety of asking for or accepting transportation as a present was not
Bisbee daily review., 1907-07-07

The plain drift of a recent inter- view appearing in the Arizona Star, with Postmaster Cassidy, of Bisbee, shows that there is no further room to doubt that the Federal officials of Arizona will make a fight in this Territory to send a delegation to the National Republican Convention next year favorable to Roosevelt or any one that may be properly tarred with the Rooseveltian stick. That the Fed eral officials of Arizona will not have and some desperate fighting for pie counter places may be expected dur ing the campaign preceding the Nat ional Territorial convention. Should Governor Kibbey remain at the head of the Federal forces, the contest may be expected to be desperately fought, and desperately close, as Kibbey is a political manipulator worthy of the name and who is able to tax the best , effort of any foeman. On the other hand, should the Kibbeyites be put to one side by the president and the Joint-Statehood advocates be placed in command of the administration forces, then the "outs7 would nave smooth sailing, as no Arizona Re- publican or Democrat who joined in the fight to force Ariona to accept | joint-statehood with New Mexico, can hope to lead a following in Arizona that would be able to cause a ripple on the politfial seas in a single county.
 Postmaster Cassidy was impressed while on his trip east with the mi 1 versal enthusiasm for the ''Big Stick and its weiIder. but should he and the other Fede-wal officiais find themselves under the leadership of

TRADE SECRETS.

Now comes the intelligence that the railroads have been getting 55 per cent of the charges made by the ex- press companies; that is to say, divid- ing with the express companies on the basis of 55 and 45 cents on each dollar earned out of the express business.
 It is not the purpose to discuss the fairness of the business, says an ex- change, but merely to point the whole some trend of affairs when the se- crets and secret relations of business functions long concealed are made known one after the other to the in terested public. One investigation, one confession, entails another. Soon we shall have probed the yitals of the entire great system of business and public service
 It has undoubtedly been the policy  of business in the past to conceal in justice. One business tolerated in justice practiced aginst it for the sake of protecting the advantage it enjoyed over some other business. How the rule operated is illustrated by the homely story of mule swap. A man who had purchased an animal guaran- teed to be sound, kind and willing, dis covered, however, that it was blind. Didn't you know it was blind" he reproached the seller, whom he met a few days subsequently,. Yes" replied the seller, q did" Then why didn't you inform me of it?" demanded the first Well" explained the other, the fellow that sold him to me did not say anything about it, and thought it was trade secret"
 Such trade secrets. the secrets be tween the coal mines and the rail roads, the insurance companies and Wall street, the shippers and rebaters. the secrets of business fraud or in justice generally are becoming more and more the common property of the public that "pays the freight in one way or another and is entitled to know The habit is being encouraged of one business telling on another Selfinterest is behind the exposure. for publicity Is the medicine to cure business expressions

questioned. It was merely an incl dent of the transportation business. It grew gradually, and then rapidly, until leading railroad organization would have a pass buresl requiring the services of large number of clerks and much expense for printing. Callers at railroad office who might happen into the pass bureau general ly came away wondering how the management made both ends meet.
 The pass system, held in reasonable bounds, would have been a success. says the Cincinnati Enquirer. It was to a large extent a reciprocal business arrangement. Its worst feature was the encouragement it gave to corrupt legislators to sell out. The absence of free tickets as recognition of yalu- able and legitimate services rendered to the transportation companies is now almost an embarrassment to all parties in many instances; but as the system went, it was no doubt the best proceeding to wipe it out completely.
 In real heart to heart" talk, how ever. the intelligent railroad manager would hold that the pass was net an unmixed evil. It had many legitimate uses and was convenient, and many of the transportation officials would be glad if it could be restored in a modified form. But it appears to be gone. and the major testimony is against it. Pay as you go" is a good motto. and the currency of the realm is a good enough medium of exchange between the transportation agency and the traveller. Then if the rail read people owe anybody anything, let the indebtedness be cancelled in the same way. There is less suspicion about the direct method. less tempta- ton to lying and cheating, a great sustenance of the admirable quality of independence. To have a "pulT for passes used to be a greater afflic- ton than to have an army of office seekers on hand in Washington bur dening your influence" with the de- partments.

It is not a case of jealousy; it is not a case of intrigue. It is the unbridled rage of father against the unbridled passion of lover. There are two big primeval elemental pas sions at play that are found univer- sally in all men. Hence the unwrit. zen law
 Every man who is frank with him. self, reading the story cE tES daugh- ,er's wrongs, feels wrath rise within him; he would do-he says-what the father did. Every man would. But there is another side. Is he worthy to do it? Are his own hands clean? Is he so perfect that he can shoot this weak, miserable creature who did the wrong. Every man must ad- init that the temptation that came to the young man might also have come to him; not perhaps in the cowardly form it came to the dead man, but in some form, and the form is immater- iaL Once John Wesley, seeing a thief go by to the jail followed by hoot- ing mob, said: But for Gods mercy there goes John Wesley
 'Is not the lesson plain? What with all our varnish of civilization, what with all our hypocrisy and pretense of superiority, what man of us but can say as he reads the story of the kill ing Of Estes, But for Gods mercy, there goes myself?' What man can didly in his own naked heart feels himself worthy to avenge any wrong? What man dares say that if the mer- cy God showed him-not for his deeds, perhaps, but for the c3wardice of his desires-if the mercy God showed him, he would show to others. he could not take the unwritten law into his own hands for any cause.
 Looking at his own daughter-for- sooth-what man can say that if she inherited his weakness, she was en- tirely blameless? What man has the right before God to bring one of his own weak flesh into this world and slay a man who treats that weakness no more kindly than he would have treated weakness when he also was young and weak? We are all of one blood in this world, and the sins of the father are visited not only unto the son but unto the daughter. Blood boils at the helIish things done to in- nocence, and murder follows. But if only fathers killed who have not ac- cepted Gods mercy for themselves, if only husbands slew who were per feet before God, who have never ac- cepted His forgiveness and his mercy for their own hellish designs, even though they came not to light nor even to deeds-who could administer this unwritten law?
 Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord and we men who could mock God must have clean hands. It is not human, but would it not be infinitely more fitting for the would-be murder CT to groan as ne saw his own sins visited upon him in his child: oh, God, have mercy upon me, sinner?' !"
