NO FAvORITISM IN THE ARMY

A highly interesting official document is that in which the secretary of war conveys to the chief of engineers of the army his disapprova of the latter's suggestion that army engineers be permitted to visit the general recruit depots and from all the men assembled there take their choice of men for assignment to engineer com panies The idea was to select by preference old soldiers and men skilled in the various trades. This would be of decided advantage to the engineer companies, of course, and 1t is only natural that the engineer officers should desire to have for their branch the most suit able of the recruits
 The secretary of war has refused to comply with the request for reasons which are sound and eminently just to other branches of the army. The chief of engineers has been in formed that there is equal need of trained men in the coast artillery and the signal corps, and, presumably, for that matter, in the cavalry, field artillery, and infantry. If the engineers were permitted to pick their recruits the com plaints from officers interested in other branches would undoubtedly be emphatic and entirely justified. Engineers must take their chances with the officers of other branches, therefore, in obtaining newly enlisted men,
 The remarkable feature of this situation is that this is the second time the army engineer officers have made such a request, and this ap- pears to have justified the secretary of war in remarking that complaints originating with the army engineer officers as to the character of the recruits assigned to the engineer compan- ies twill hereafter be regarded as unwarrant- ed and vexatous.' There is, of course no req son why the army engineers should not be re unr tn traiO IpH is done by officers of other branches of the ser vice whose need for trained and skilled men Is as great or greater than that of the engineers. The decision of the secretary of war will un- doubtedy meet with approval within the ser vice, since it is an indication that no special privileges are to be accorded

DON POMPOSO-AND THE LADY

"Who is more thoroughly disagreeabe
 and more irritating than the superior per
 son3 Some of you may chance to know
 Don Pomposo who is always in evidence
 at all public functions, in the front row of
 los personajes, if the guardians of pub
 lie order fail to ask him to fall back. But
 usually he has his way, for his clothes
 are fashionable, his silk hat glossy, and his
 diamond ring of the biggest This super
 for person sniffs at your favorite brand of
 caret, his costs five times as much and ne
 imports it himself. Everything you have is
 always inferior-furniture friends, hats,
 canes, etc"
 Oh, yes; we all know Don Pomposos. He is a truly impressive individual, though in the or dinary circumstances of his existence he would trouble us little were it not for his one over shadowing and most pestiferous fault-mind- ing other peoples business We vouchsafe scant attention to his little bluffs and byplays. If he gets anywhere in particular with his in- sistent pushing and assumption of superiority, we can afford to wish him well of his journey, or, better still, dismiss him entirely from our minds as a harmless thing not worth the time and attention analysis would impose Or, at least, we could do that, if he merely minded his own affairs and let his fellow men alone
 But when the Don essays his role of adviser and regulator of our everyday tasks and en- deavors-w that is right where we feel as if we would like to say few things to him in language decidedly more picturesque than ele gant. We, for instance, are running news paper; at least, we indulge ourselves in the lux ury of thinking so We imagine we know some thing about how it ought to be run. Some lpeo pie are good enough to agree wit hus, but of them never is Don Pomposo You are running, say, shooting gallery. You lay the fatterng uncton to your soul that you are reasonably fa- miliar with the shooting gallery business. But, bless you Don Pomposo knows better! And you, madam, you believe you know the best far as your children are conGerned- to handle ease of spasmodc croup. Don, Pomposo- -mayhap Dona Pomposo-is a spec alist on croup, and especially the kind you cul- tivate in the bosom of your family. You pur- chase hat. You like it-immensely. You mOdestly think it becoming, and your wife thinks it~a dear. What great mistake you made, however, in not permitting busy Don Pomposo to pick out something for you that you that you did not like, and under which you would have felt embarrassed and awkward. 1 Your wife knows most fetching way of broil- ing steak; she does broil one just that way every now and then for your especial benefit. 1t seems to taste good-so good. But 1t is not good, nevertheless Dona Pomposo knows a 1 much better way!
 Oh yes; we all know Don Pomposo- the lay, mores the pity.

be so Inundated, We observe a Sc
rious protest in the Coast Seamen's
Journal, which deserves the attention
of the courts.-The Independent, New
York.
OF course the American people would
make a strenuous protest against The
Independents suggested methods of
dealing with criminals. The American
people would protest with equal vigor
against sending criminals to sea, but
for the fact that they know little and
seem to care less about maritime af-
airs When the American people
awaken to a realization of their res
possibility for the conduct of maritime
affairs they will insist that the Ameri-
can seamen be protected against forced
association with the criminal elements.
The protests of Shipping Commissioner
Almy and the publications herein quot
ed are welcome signs of tendency in
this direction.
