Automobile Regulation.
No Reason Why Sensible Restrictions
Should Not Be Enforced.


We cannot but think that the Ma
tional Capital Automobile Club Is
badly advised IN opposing the enact
ment Of any speeding or tagging reg
nlations by the District Commission
ers. The secretary Of the club, Err
skine II. Sunderland, as our morning
contemporary reports, condemns the
proposed tagging ordinance as an an
dignity" to which no automobile
owner or driver will submit" The
club, he says, viii fight any such
humihating restriction to finish,
even If 1t has to take an appeal to the
United States Supreme Court.
We cannot estimate the precise en-
barrassments and hardships to the au-
tomobile owner of having to faunt an
Identifying number. done IN white
paint on the back Of his machine.
They may be grievous enough to drive
the sensitive ehautfeur's spirit to re-
volt. To be tagged ike a pet dog or
d common licensed I-hack is perhaps
an affront to stir the blood Of any
blue. white or yellow devil" driver.
Yet we are sure that in insisting to
Commissioner West that mo regula-
tons regarding automobile operation
IN this city are necessary" Mr.. Sun
derland wholly mistakes both the gen
eral drift of public sentiment and the
administrative situation with which
the District Commissioners are now
confronted. II Is true that IN city
like ours. with spacious streets and
ample room for street traffic of all
sorts, the dangers of reckless automo-
billing are reduced TO a minimum. We
have had very few automobile acei-
dents, and are not likely TO suffer
greatly from the mistakes Of chauf-
feuTs IN the immediate future.
But though little skill Is now needed
to pilot a machine through the rarely
crowded streets Of Washington, the
steady multiplication Of automobiles
and the extraordinary temptations of
fered here to speeding, have COM
PEELED the District Commissioners to
consider plans for regulating automo-
bile traffic. That they are thus in a
measure taking time by the forelock
may be admitted. But such fore
handedness IN checking possible
abuses IS altogether praiseworthy.
We do not look for the promulga-
ton of any stringent or fantastic an
ti-speeding ordinances But it IS use
less to assume. as Mr.. Sunderland
seems TO assume, either that the Com
missioners have no power to legislate
or that they VIII not be sustained by
public sentiment in enacting a sensi-
bic and moderate automobile code.
We trust that no opposition viii be
offered by automobile owners and
users to any reasonable and helpful
scheme Of restrictions and safeguards.

Strong Opposition Overcome.

Mr.. Harrison's election yesterday was
accomplished in the face of a united
opposition on the part Of the Repub-
licans for the first time in the last
three mayoralty campaigns. and further

party and the attacks OF all the leading

Pope's Relations With Monaco.

Il is not only with France that the
Vatican is having trouble, but likewise
with Monaco, and the relations between
Leo XIII and the Prince Rouge ct Noir''
are strained This is due to the fact
that the Pope has declined to appoint
any one of7the three candidates nomi-
mated by the prince TO the vacant bish-
opric of Monaco. The part proprietor OF
the greatest public gambling establish

TT IS WORRIED.

The Kansas City Journal is somewhat worried because the Missouri legislative scandals are not confined to Democrats. It admits that several Republican, mem bers were as deep in the mire as the Democrats were, and warns its party friends that the people of Missouri will hardly turn the State House over to the Republicans unless they think they have some good reason to believe they will do better.
 That is talking sense. but what reason can they have for thinking so? We ad- init that the Democrats of Missouri have not covered themselves with halo of official purity, but suppose the people begin to look about them for reasons why there should be change, and should turn their glasses on Pennsylvania, for example. what then? They would see a State which has been absolutely con- trolled by the Rep1bli cans, with hardly a shadow of vaIiatioa, since the war be- tween the States, and which has be- come so steeped in venality and corrup- tion that 1t has almost ceased to be a free Ctake. IL IS d oIdle OWueup LnanaBeu anu footed by Republicans, who have every thing their own way.
 f Or, they might direct their gaze to- wards the little principality of Delaware, the State of Addicks and poodle, which has been Republican browsing ground for eight or ten years. Would they see anything there to encourage a change? And they might look about them and find other evidences of the fact that continued Republican rule is not the near est or most direct road to official and political purity. It is a hard proposi- tion for The Journal to advocate swap ping parties in that State when 1t can find so many evidences of Republican ras- cality.

His knowledge of the law must be slight, because he has given 50 little time to the profession. Indeed, he abandoned it for journalism and the lecture field when he retired from Congress. But he knows the enthusiasm does and does not mean. He has sounded all the depths and shoals of a surging mass of holiday seeking. holiday making humanity, and can tell you that the vote does not always follow the cheer by long shot.

NIP IT IN THE BUD.
First Appearance of Dandruff a Fore
 runner of Future Badness,

That such is the case has been conclu- sively proven by scientific research. Prof. Unna, the noted European skin specialist declares that dandruff is the burrowed-up cuticle of the scalp, caused by parasites destroying the vitality in the hair bulb. The hair becomes lifeless, and in time, falls out. This can be pre- vented.
 Newbro's Herpicide kills this dandruff germ, and restores the hair to its natural softness and abundancy.
 Herpicide is now used by thousands oi people-all satisfied that 1t is the most wonderful hair preparation on the mar ket today. Sold by leading druggists Send 10c in stamps for sample to Tho Herpicide Co.,. Detroit, Mich. E. G Fowler. Special Agent. wed.
