twenty or twenty-five lawyers, in
GOOD standing at the bar, are engaged
in all three branches of the real
estate misunderstanding and selling,
collecting rents, and making loans.
Some of these twenty or twenty
five may possibly have been ignorant
of the law. That is poor excuse
for an attorney; but it is yet con-
ceivable. If so, they will be glad to
correct their standing either by TAX
ing out a license as a real estate
broker without any further delay or
by ceaSing to trade in real estate.
The others should be treated as ordi-
nary malefactors, or worse; for they
have more than the ordinary citiZen's S
reason to observe the law. being
sworn as ministers of justice. The
offense is measured by these words:
That any person violating any of the
provisions of this section shall. on con-
Viction thereof in the police court of
the District of Columbia, be punished
by a fine of not more than five hundred
dollars for each offense. and in default
of payment by imprisonment not ex-
ceeding thirty days. in the discretion of
the court except as otherwise provided
in this section.
In the face of law like that il is
hard to understand why the au-
thorities should ever have hesitated
at all.

Pettus Obeyed Orders.

Representative Taylor of Alabama
tells good story about Senator Pettus
OF his State. The Senator. who is by
several years the oldest member OF
either house Of Congress, was a Con-
federate general during the civil war.
and before attaining 10 that rank had
earned ii by aTduous and gallant serv-
ice There is one especially thrilling
story OF how, at Vicksburg, when the
great charge was made on the Con-
federate positions. Pettus cooIly went
about throwing the Federal bombs out
Of the trenches.

I've often been desirous of hearing

Senator

Lawyers as Brokers.

Good news comes today from the
District building 1t is that Commits
sioner West and Assessor Darneille
have detailed an inspector to dis
cover and bring TO book attorneys
who have engaged in real estate
brokerage without obtaining the
license which the law requires.
There need never have been any
doubt as TO the law. Surely if ever
a mandate was couched in clear Eng
lish it is this:
That real estate brokers or agents
shall pay a license tax OF nifty dollars
per annum Every person who sells, or
offers for sale. as the agent for others,
real estate. wherever located. including
makes or negOtiates loans thereon, or
who rents houses, buildings. stores, or
real estate. or who collects rents FOR
others, shall be regarded as real
estate broker or agent: Provided. That
the practice of a profession in connec-
tion with the real estate business shall
not exempt any person from the re-
quirements OF this paragraph who would
otherwise be liable hereunder.
Lawyers who mean to fulfill the
law they are sworn to help enforce
need not be told that under the pro-
vision of such a clause they cannot
sell real estate, or collect rents upon

licensed real estate brokers, Yet ii

CHIEF QUANAH PARKER
WOULD REFORM TRIBES

LAWTON, Okla, March 6. - Chief
Quanah Parker, at the head of the
Comanehe Indians. is trying to devise
plans by which the 1.S40 members OF his
tribe may be reformed. He wants them
to take an interest in their allotments
and to develop the home spirit for pur-
poses other than playing monte and
drinking bootleg whisky.
The first move of Chief Parker along
the reform line will be to get the IN
dians TO remain upon their allotments
and to cultivate the land. Parker would
have them make their home so pleasant
that each member of the household
would look to the evenings they could
enjoy together
The Comanches, both men and women.
assemble in their huts, there to engage
in the games of cards or monte ALWAYS

A." Hinc lilac Lachrimae. !"

A recent fearful utterdnCe OF the
Cincinnati Enquirer was devoted to
the proposition TO nominate a candi-
date for the United States Senate
by direct vote.
Now, this is no new idea. United
States Senators are chosen in just
this fashion in most of the Southern
States. They are voted for in Demo
cratic primaries and the successful
candidate elected by the legislatures
as matter of course. In actual prac-
tice the plan has been found most
satisfactory. The election of Sen
ator by this method has never been
accompanied by the charges of
wholesale corruption which in many
States, including the State of Ohio,
have blotched the togas the future
Senators have come eventually to
wear.
Moreover, the system has a perfect
precedent iii the manner in which the
President and Vice President of the
United States are elected. The Consti-
tuition provides that the voters in each
State shall cast their ballots for
Presidential elec1 ors, and it was the
design of the trainers of the Consti-
tuition that the Electoral College
should meet and choose the Chief
Magistrate. The old form is still
preserved and electors are still
chosen; not a single direct vote is
cast anywhere for President or Vice
President; and yet the substance of
the whole scheme has been entirely
altered-the intention of the authors
of the Constitution absolutely sub
verted, without the change of a single
letter of the law. The elector who
would venture to cast his vote for
some favoTite of his own fancy and
disregard the mandate of the voters
by whom he was himself chosen
would be guilty of political folly
quite beyond the pale. He has the
pOh Cis buL uC NOuiN OACiClSC II dDOut
as readily as he would climb the
Washington Monument and jump
OF.
And yet, in the face of practice and
precedent, the Enquirer lashes itself
into a wild rage over this mild sug-
gestion. Nominate a United States
Senator in party primary! Perish
the thought of anything so vile and
unholy! Legislators are reminded
they are intrusted by the Ohio con
stitution with the duty of electing
United States Senators and that to
surrender this privilege is a viola
ton of their oath.
Thus the Enquirer, weeping great
tears of righteous Indignation and
splashing about in the resulting pud-
die of brine. 1t Is a sad spectacle
The Enquirer should cheer up.
