Eayoritlsm in the NnyN.

Even when the malodorous naval
'pluckinE board" is abolished. as it
seems certain to be, there will re-
main the painful impression in the
public mind that the board worked
badly. not because Of any inherent
defects in the retirement plan. but
because the members OF the board
were animated by other motives than
that which should have been sacred
to them-namely. the good OF the
service.
FaVoritsm OF an obnoxious sort
has been proven TO exist. If personal
preferences could control the ad-
mirals who compose the board. it
would he impossible not to fear that
the same undermining feeling is also
prevalent in the other grades OF com
missiopcd officers. Our navy has,
fortunately. and we believe de-
servcdly. been free from scandals.

count OF itself. But the public will
now feel a certain uncasiness under
the knowledge that favoritism can
spoil worthy officers careers.
