PUBLIC OFFICIALS RIDING
on RAILROAD PASSES

A few days ago, the state railroad
ing that certain railroads in Florida
had issued passes to number of
public officials, the list including
members OF the legislature and off,
GERS of the state, courts
1T would be interesting to know
who these public servants are who,
holding positions of trust from the
public on the one hand, are COM
promising themselves by using rail-
road passes on the other We trust
their names may be made known so
that in the future their constituents
may at least have the benefit OF the
facts in the case
1t is both against the laws of Flor
ida and against public policy for a
public serVant-and particularly a
Legislator or court oficial-to use
railroad pass. Amy man who as
pires to be public servant should
have sufficient appreciation of his
duties and his position ito forego his
ambition TO serve in public Office.
The two do not go together
The railroad pass has been the
most subtle and corrupting influence
In American politics That any pub
lie official should now have the pre-
sumption to carry one is almost past
compre hension. Journal.
The railroad commission should
r-aI.sh the names of all officials who
ride on passes, and the next Iegisla-
ture should make it am offense,
punishable with fine, Imprisonment
and removal from office, for any Off
cial to ride on a pass. The railroads
are bigger than the state, own many
of the officials and don't have to obey
the Law, but the state might possibly
muster up power enough to punish
one of its own officers.

The war in Europe is something
like our civil war, on a much greater
scale. In the beginning, the South
was better prepared, her men in the
average were better lhorsemen and
better marksmen than northern men,
and, on account of the Mexican war
of twelve years before, fought princi-
pally by southern men, she had a
larger proportion of skilled officers
and experienced soldiers. These -ad
vantages overbalanced those of the
North in wealth and numbers for the
first year or more. Then the longesa
