Some Of the heartiest personal friend
ships have existed between men who
have differed the most sharply about
politics.
The manifestation now, however, Is
more than ordinarily gratifying.
Party lines still run clearly enough on
surviving old issues, but there are
many new issues yet to be sorted and
labeled, and because Of their very great
importance demanding the most care
full examination. Men must set about
this work not only in a spirit Of sin.
certify themselves, but believing fully
in the sincerity Of those Of another
opinion.
Some of these new issues may cause
divisions in both parties, bringing re-
publicans and democrats together in
support of this thing, and together in
opposition to that thing.
1t is not at all likely, however, that
these divisions will extend much be.
yond the issues that cause them. In
the main, the two old parties will hold
together, and face each other in next
years campaign in the old spirit.
The war has changed much, scrap
ping some things and producing others.
But there is one thing that remains
untouched and indispensable, and that
is the necessity for party government
in this country, and for parties to
contend for control with regard to
measures and not men.

considered protection nnss. Both the
Army and the Navy should be Of size
entirely adequate for the country's
needs a. disclosed by the war. A mer-
chant marine We must have; and when
established it must be sustained in its
competition with long established for
eign bottoms. In returning the rail-
roads to their owners, provision should
be made for such governmental super.
vision as the inadequacy Of the for
mer supervision has shown necessary.
Transportation is great problem;
and while the railroads are entitled
to good profits, the public is entitled
to the best service possible.
It would have been better for all
concerned had Congress begun its
labors soon after March 1. Two
months-two very valuable months
have been wasted. Still, there is time
to do good deal Of business before
the snow flies, and to outline very
fully before next years national con-
ventions meet the general policy Of
reconstruction as that term is now
understood.

The House District Committee.

Chairman Mapes Of the House Dis
trict committee outlines a program of
activity for that committee which
promises we'll for the local interests
For long time the House District
committee has been inactive, and it
will be helpful now to have it at work
upon District measures, with q chance
Of regular attention by the House to
them. One of the first bills that Mr..
Mapes proposes to take under consid-
Grafton is that providing for the retire
ment of public school teachers. This
measure passed the Senate at the last
session, but failed Of action, as did
many others, in the House. This
measure is urgently needed for the
correction of unfortunate conditions in
the public schools and the establish
ment Of the teaching force Of the Dis
triet upon just basis Of provision for
the future.
The calendar of prospective District
legislation is long and includes items
Of urgent importance to the District.
It represents the accumulation of sew
eral years. Chairman Mapes is "a

The Spirit of Congress.

When the name of Mr.. Gillett was
mentioned in the House yesterday,
both sides cheered, the democrats as
heartily as the republicans. When the
name of Champ Clark was mentioned,
and his service in the chair praised,
both sides eheered, the republicans
leading.
This does not presage a session de-
void of partisanship, or partisan
warmth. When the House gets into
its stride there will be something do.
ing in the way of politics; and both
SIDES will be on the alert, and in
keller.
Yesterdays exhibition, however, car.
ries this undeniabie assurance to the
country: That the leaders of eacn side
enjoy the high personal respect Of the
other side. That means much, and
should contribute to the enactment Of
sound legislation.
This is as true of the Senate as Of
the House. The men in the forefront
on each side enjoy the high persona
respect Of the other side. They hav,
often measured swords with eacl
other as partisans without impairint
their relations with each other as In
dividuals.

festation in our affairs. The ordinar,

Congress and the Mandate.


It has been six months since the
Sixty sixth Congress was chosen. Do
mestic issues accounted for its polit-
zeal complexion. The campaign had
been waged on them. The war had
not figured in the contest. Although
at election time the armistice had not
been signed, it was reasonably clear
to everybody that the end Of hostili.
ties was approaching. Hence the
voters, in casting their ballots, con-
sidered matters Of reconstruction, and
committed them to the hands Of the
republicans.
Nothing has happened since to sug.
gest any change Of mind on tho part
Of the electorate. On the contrary.
several local elections, held in diff
ferent sections of the country, have
shown republican sentiment still in
the ascendent.
The mandate issued in November,
therefore, still holds, and the repub-
licans are expected to obey it. It lays
down no hard and fast details. Tariff
schedules and rates are not specified.
Neither the size Of the Army nor that
Of the Navy is fixed. While a mer.
chant marine is declared for, the prob.
lem Of its operation Is left open. And
while the return of tho railroads to
private ownership Is favored, the terms
of the return are not stated.
This leaves the republicans with con.
siderable leeway. 1t encourages the
advancement Of opinions and neces,
states the holding Of eonferences

time for action has arrived.

Representative Davis Reinsurance

|
Reinsurance is given by Representa-
tive Davis Of Minnesota, who becomes
the chairman Of the subcommittee on
District Of Columbia appropriations,
that the appropriation bill to be drawn
by his subcommittee at this session
will be based upon the hsif.and-half
principle as required by the organic
act. Representative Davis has served
On the District appropriation work for
several Congresses, and is thoroughly
familiar with the details Of the local
budget. He has devoted himself as.
siduously to this task, and it is most
gratifying now that he, with high
seniority in the appropriations COM
mittee which entities him to service
in connection with larger measures,
has accepted the present assignment as
. matter Of duty to the local eonstitu.
ency.
Representative Davis takes the sound
view that if Congress wishes to abol-
ish the half-and half system o. nnanc-
ing the National Capital it must do
it in the proper way, by direct legis-
iation and not indirectly through a
rider on an appropriation bill. The
evil effects of efforts to repeal the
half -and-half provision have been ap-
parent for several years, as the House
has repeatedly sought to accomplish
this result by injecting repeal pro-
viso into the District bill. The bill has
been invariably delayed, many impor-
tant local interests have suffered, and
as in the latest case the bill has alb
solutely failed of passage because of
the insistence of the House upon this
wrong method Of effecting a change.
Though it prefers the maintenance
Of the half-and-half system, believing
| it just and knowing it to be necessary,
the District 10 not averse to a test Of
the sense Of Congress on the merits Of
the question directly, for it feels con-
fident Of its ability to demonstrate
again as it did before the joint fiscal
commission the soundness Of the prin.
ciple Of equal government participa-
ton in the cost Of capital maintenance.
it's fairness to both the nation and
the local community and the urgent
need Of its continuance.

The Bone. Dry Law Still Effective

An impression has gained currency
that Judge Hardison in the Police
Court yesterday ruled that the trans
port of liquor into the District in a
personally owned vehicle does not con-
stitute a violation of the Reed law
which prohibits the bringing Of in
toxicants into a prohibition area from
another jurisdiction. This is contrary
to the fact. The court made no such
ruling, but specifically held that the
point raised by the defendant to that
effect does not Apply in cases where
it is evident that the liquor imported
is not for personal use, but is fof
barter. The courts language on this
point is as follows:
"The nature Of the commodity, the
method of acquisition and the in
tended use, and not the method Of the
transportation, constitute the deter
mining factors. conclude upon the
authority of these cases" (cited in the
deeisions) "that the transaction here
-
merce and transportation therein is
violation of the act. The motion to
dismiss and the demurrer to the evil
dence will be overruled."
In none of the cases cited by the
court as bearing upon the point raised
by the defendant in this clause is there
any ground for presumption that the
employment of personally-owned We
hicle for the transport Of liquor for
illegal purposes into a prohibition
territory absolves the person accused
from responsibility and shields him
frosa penalty. The trend of the rulings
Of higher courts, including the Su-
preMe Court of the United States, is
thse the test lies in the act and not
in the matter Of its commission, that
in the transport of goods under en-
barge Of law or in the conduct Of
business under prohibition any
method Of transportation is illegal.
Any other view Of the statutes would
lead to their complete notification. In
the case in point, in the transport Of
liquor into the District Of Columbia
obviously designed for sale, the argu-
ment that the use Of personally
owned vehicle rendered the transpor-
tation legal regardless Of its intended
use, would in effect repeal the prohibi-
ton law. IF q person could bring
liquor into the District in his own ma
chine without hindrance under the pre-
tense of personal use he could set the
whole machinery Of detection at def
ance. As it is much harm is certain
to be done by the spread of the sug-
eestion that the court has ruled that
the use Of IN acknowledgement ve-
hiele absolves the importer Of liquor
from all blame. ..
It cannot be too strongly stated that
the law prohibiting the Importation Of
liquor into the District save for scien-
tife, sacramental, medicinal and me
chanical purposes stands in full eff
feet against all manner of importa-
tions, whether by train or so-called
common carrier" or by personally
owned means Of transport, and that
the penalties provided by the law ap-
ply to all cases. And it is to be hoped
that those penalties will be enforced
to the full wherever guilt is proved.
