A FoRFE1TABLs LICENSE.

Editor Advertiser: In the matter OF
running automobiles. the public well
fare and safety should be the first con-
sideration. Otherwise why require a
license?
If the owner of a machine can be
compelled TO take out "a license. and a
license can be refused unless the APP
plicant shows himself to be competent
to run such machine. why can not a
license be revoked if the holder. after
getting such license. violates the law
or shows himself TO be incompetent?
Does not such demonstrated incompe-
tence show that a mistake was made
in granting the license?
A man gets a license to sell intoxi-
eating liquor, but the license can be
revoked if the holder violates the law
or shows himself an unfit person to
hold it.
Why should not the same principle
apply to auto licenses? DIR.

DR.. MlCKALL SHOT
MIOHIGHT SERENADER

DR.. Bruce McV. Mackan does not
like the merry, midnight music of the
festive tomcats that live in his neigh
borhood and this dislike led into his
being arrested yesterday for malicious
injury. 1t appears that the doctor in
the midst of a war of extermination
against the yowlers of the night made
a good shot and put a pet Thomas out
OF misery, a complaint being made
against him. He was up before the
magistrate yesterday morning and had
the case against him stricken from the
calendar.
The doctor was only one CT three
charged with the same offense against
the state, malicious injury. S. s. Pax
son. manager of the Singer Sewing
Machine Agency, was present to ex-
plain why he had gone to the length
of. breaking down door in order to
recover one of his machines, leased to
a customer. Ing his case the matter
has gone over until Tuesday. Another
door smasher was Peter Davis. Davis
walked through the panels of door
in his tenement boarding house and
had no good excuse to offer. He was
fined ten dollars and costs.

THE HOUSE OF OBSTRUCTION.

Less than four years ago the re

senate as the enemy of the people. the
graveyard of reform measures, the one
place where illegal privilege was in
trenched Today the senate is admit
teddy the more radical house of con-
gress. the only place where considera-
ton is shown TO progressive legisla-
ton. while the house is stubbornly re-
sisting every effort to improve laws or
meet the demand of the people for re-
lief from the oppression of trust en-
downers of unlawful privileges.
Only one of the many important
measures urged by the president for
adoption has managed to pass both
houses, and that is the employers la
bility bill, designed to make common
carriers responsible for injury TO en-
ployes in proportion TO their share in
the contributing causes of injury. The
house has strangled in committee every
.other big bill, including one to restrict
the use of federal injunctions, the one
amending the antitrust law and pro-
vide federal license for associations ex-
empt from its operation, the railroad
pooling bill, the bill for the relief of
labor organizations from penalty for

security issues. the postal savings bill

CASE OF COLONEL STEWART.

Nothing more repugnant 10 all ideas
of popular elf-government as exem-
plif1ed by this republic has come to
light than the action of President
Roosevelt in exiting Colonel William F.
Stewart of the coast artillery to a de-
serted post in Arizona Lately Mr.
Roosevelt has graciously consented to
mitigate Colonel Stewards sentence to
the extent of transferring him to an
other abandoned, but more accessible.
post in Florida.
All this has been done without Civ
ing Colonel Stewart hearing, though
he has requested an opportunity to be
heard. In other words. we have a man
condemned to exile. deprived of his
command, practically stripped of his
rank, disgraced and subjected to the
bitterest possible humiliation without
a chance to defend himself The only
reason assigned is that Colonel Stewart
is ''temperamentally impossible" 1t
is difficult to conceive such a happen
ing in this republic. We only know it
has happened.
Under our constitution the most de-
PRAYED criminal is given the right to
face his accusers. A trial conducted
without the bodily presence of the de-
PENDANT is an invalid trial. IL has even
been held that when a court permits a
jury, unaccompanied by the defendant,
To visit the scene of a crime, reversi-
bic error is committed. We can imag-
inc ex parte cOndemnations in au auto
crazy. Those things do happen some
times in Russia. But they are utterly
foreign to the republican form of gov
eminent.
And yet the Stewart proceeding is not
altogether unlike President Roosevelt.
The man is intoxicated with his own.
power Time and again he has usurped
our government. and today he seems
to proceed on the theory that there is
nothing he cannot do. His treatment
of Colonel Stewart, however caps the
climax of his autocratic record.
The Herald knows nothing of the
case against this officer He may be
utterly unfit to command a regiment
of artillery. We know from the records.
though that last July he stood third
on the list OF artillery colonies. and
that he has given more than forty
years of his life to the service of his
country. And whether he is fl or unfit
he is entitled To a fair and open hear
inc. If he is not afraid to let all the
facts be known, it certainly in not in
cumbent upon the president TO conceal
them. If we mistake not the publica-
ton of the appalling story of Stewards

Rex hunt for cover.
