ENGINEERING AND HONESTY

The newspapers have carried the
story Of an engineering student who
found that he had been credited toe
highly IN his examination papers. Hs
returned the papers to his professor
called attention TO the error. and re-
ceived the lower marking which his
work deserved.
10 draw a moral Of honesty from
such an instance would be to lose sight
of several things. Engineering IS hon
'esty. This student may or may not
have acted on a consciously ethical OF
moral principle. He may or may not
have returned the papers because his
stock Of religious inhibitions were
wholly against his availing himself Of
an undeserved credit. These matters
could only be decided after conference
with the student himself. But, in any
case, it is precisely what he should
have done AS AN ENGINEERING
STUDENT, Engineering is honesty.
It is the science Of the truth of ma
terials and their use. As an engineer
this young man would know better
than TO place 2.000-pound strain on
ia 50O-pound strength. 1t is just as
fatal to the general concerns of soci-
ETY. for anyone to place 100 per cent
confidence in what is SO percent de-
ception. A whole community was
plunged into ruin the other day, and
years of its time and labor and meal
culable values of more delicate kind
were destroyed, because the people
placed 100 per cent dependence upon
banker who was only Is per cent
dependable. A course in engineering
would have been good for that banker
and maybe for that whole commune
ity. All Of us ought TO know on what
we are resting the life Of the community
and the nation; all of us ought to
know whether the institutions on which
we depend are strong enough to carry
the load.
\ With more of the engineering type Of
mind in public affairs there would be
more general safety Engineering is
edifying that's It's business. 1t en-
tiers into all building. 1t is the tech
nique, in one form or another, of the
Race Of Builders. If our politicians
were tinctured little with the b c
of engineering, we should not only
have honesty Chat goes without say
ing). but efficiency-the kind of eff
cheney that knows that national life
cannot be built on foundation of
wind-bags, and that a national none
tary system cannot be made the cor
ncr stone of private concessions.
This country wants engineering
types, not only in every field of indus
try. but in finance and legislation and
in public health and in all our econ
omic and educational affairs. Because
the engineering type goes to the foun-
dation end builds up honestly, knowiro
that only honest building will stand
Independent.

ion Of the weak in mind and body for
mutual survival. OF course, vote while
you have the vote. But don't take it
too seriously.
The ballot is deIusion; democracy
itself is a delusion. There have been
many attempts made for the organiza-
ton of democratic government, and,
beyond that, democratic society. Il
has been a -catch-wofd for scores OF
years, fayorite with politicians and
vote-seekers; but the bald fact remains
that this world has never had a state
or order that even so much as resem-
bled democracy. How could there
be an enlightened democracy, when the
material the state is to rest upon is
crassly ignorant, superstitious, inferi-
or9 ! cannot point to one genuinely
democratic public institution in the
world. There is no democracy in our
government, in our industry, in our pro-
fessions. We are commanded BY the

business Of the country, the peoples
vote has next to nothing to say. 1t
can accomplish nothing. Can the peo-
pies vote have anything to do with the
distribution of money to the farmers
Not bit. Yet this is being done, and
certain men for whom the public would
never vote are making the distribution,
end they are doing so according to a
plan of their own, plan which has its
detectives and offshoots of which the
public hasn't the slightest inkling. Let
there be no misunderstanding: the
people have not even distant voice
in the matters which most vitality con-
Germ them. Even Congress has no
voice. Congress is not in control. There
is very perfect mass Of machinery to
prevent Congress gaining control. 1t is
a disturbing situation when you see it
clearly.
A"Of course, the people do not see
this nor do they understand it; but
they sense it. That seems to be the I'LL
innate protective faculty of the people
their power to sense things. They
feel the drift, even though they cannot
explain it. The soul of the people be-
comes extremely sensitive at times, and
it is entirely this soul Of the people
that the politicians never knew. There
is heading up, focusing, culmin-
alton of two forces, and presently thew
will be in collision. The people will
endure, and the false edifices built BY
misuse Of their delegated power will
fall. Hatred and cunning and the ex-
IRENE efforts Of evil propaganda are
now being put forth; the enemy is be-
ing revealed; I'll DISCUSSES are being
cast off; the lines are being tightly
drawn: both camps will be large and
the fighting will be DESPERATE; but the
camp Of the people will endure.

Fordhan1 TO Tackle
Its Ancient Rival,
Holy Cross, To-day

The Fordham football squad, COM
posed Of twenty-five players and a
dozen other mon officially connected
with the team, embarked from the
Grand Central Terminal on o'clock
train yesterday afternoon for Wcrces-
ter, where the Maroon to-day plays its
last "big" game of the year with Cleo
O'Donnells strong Holy Cross eleven.
To-day's game between the two rival
Catholic colleges will be the first since
1916, in which year Fordham handily
won by 40 to 0 score. The World
War intervened in 1917 and 1918, while
in 1919, due to the las. minute can
collation. OF its schedule, Fordham was
not represented on the collegiate grid
iron. The 1920 Fordham Holy Cross
game was called off by the Purple man
agement because of weather conditions
at Worcester on the morning of the
game. Fordham, incensed at this Holy
Cross act, would not play the Worces-
ter eleven last year.
Frank Gargan, however, shortly
after he had been appointed graduate
manager of athletics at Fordham last
December, brought about renewal Of
football relations that has resulted in
the scheduling of this afternoons

In impressive fashion. The fact re-
mains, however, that he has yet to
meet q heavyweight Of real class. He
has never met a fighter of Brennan 8
caliber, and the fight that was arranged
at the Garden yesterday will put the
newcomer to the real acid test. At the

Douglas is willing chap, but he lacks
about everything that Floyd johnson
possesses. In other words, he is with
out those tine points that go to make
up real heavyweight.
What johnson will do against Bren-

interesting speculation for the average
fight fan. Brennan Is the bimbo who
won his greatest portion of fame by
staying twelve rounds with Jack Domp-
sey in fight that took place at Madi-
son Square Garden. That appears to
have been the peak Of his career. Since
then he has been guilty of many
mediocre performances.
Despite his bad acts in recent
months, however, it must be realized
that Brennan is an experienced and
well-schooled fighter, which is more

I'm Bowie Meet
q Handicap Horses Named
for SIS. 200 Southern
Maryland Distance Event

BOWIE Nd, Nov. 1.-THE begin
ming of fhe end OF the Eastern racing
season will be ushered In tomorrow at
the remodelled Bowie track, and II the
generous entry list announced for the
opening of the final meeting is to be
taken as seriously as there is every
reason to believe this out of-the-Way
town is destined to enjoy the most
pros porous racing of it's history.
All seven events for opening day
have filled so well that unless generous
scratching develops before 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning several of the fields
are bound to be so unrsieldy as 10
necessitate more than one line Of
thoroughbreds ut the starts. OF
course, some few of the horses
that will go in only one event have
been named for more than one, fact
which automatically will tend to mini
mize certain fields. But the fact re-
mains that horscmen generally are
bent on seeing the Maryland campaign
through to the end, especially as the
weather has been so fine this fall and
the various associations so generous
with purse and stake moneys.
Pimlico, by distributing approximate
ly $3.50, 900 in its eleven days, attracted
the very best horses in training, not
only from the metropolitan tracks. but
from Kentucky and Canada as we'll, and
provided q meeting of eleven days,
which was quite as spectacular and
entertaining as even Saratoga in the
heyday Of its open betting splendor.
Most of the New York horses and the
other outside cracks as we'll, came on
here at the close Of Pimlico to try for
the rich purses Bowie will offer. Bowie
will not attempt to keep pace with
Pimlico, but in its eleven-day meet,
which will wind up Thanksgiving Day,
nevertheless will distribute well over
100000
The Thanksgiving Handicap Of the
standing feature here, as tits expected
terminator and Prince James, the rec
ognized cup horses of the season. But
the Southern Maryland Handicap, at q
mile and sixteenth, tomorrow after
noon, with $4,000 added, has attracted
a field worthy of the best traditions Of
the American turf.
No less than twenty-one of the best
of all ages, from three-year-olds up
ward, have been named. Among the
number are Captain Alcock, winner of
the Suburban and the Bowie Cup; Care
full, the best handicap sprinting mare
of the year; Rockminster, winner of
the Latonia Championship and cox
queror Of Whiskaway, one of the un-
certain stars of poor three-year- old
year; Lucky Hour, that might have
been three -year-old champion but for a
severe head injury; Surf Rider, Heph
aistos, Polly Ann, bunga Buck and
many others.
