sometimes the instrument of slow tor

Tho Joy of the Democrats

The JOY of the Democrats over
winning without Tammany' must be n
bit sobered by contemplation of the
facts. Mr. Wilson invited Tammany's
aid by Offering It tho postmastership OF
New York city. In his desire to carry
the State by the same majority by
which the Root constitution was de-
feated about 5OO.OOO) he chose to SEQ
the wlgwam in its historical aspect as
tho old.time foe OF aristocratio ten
dsncies. He could have felt surer of
the West If he had played Bryan's game
of nghting Tammany openly. AS II is.
the Administration can expect little from
even the respectable Democrats of New
York, who were shocked by the post
mastershIp dickerlng.

The automobile license war which
has begun between this State and Della
ware illustrates the necessity of arrange.
ments for interstate and national licenses
which will permit motorists to travel at
will anywhere within the Union. The
Delaware law requires every corporation
operating motortrucks to take out n
license in the State. but permits motor
trucks owned by individuals to enter the
State without license. This is n foolish
but It Is only ono OF tho
many forms which the attempt to rogu-
late motor-driven vehicles by the separate
States has taken.
