The law applying TO the titiing or
cars In Maryland went into ensct
September ], and from now on every
car that goes into Maryland must be
titled. This means that the small
square stickers which many nave
placed on their windshield. stating
that the car has been titled. can now
be removed without the fear that the
automobile will be stopped to sscer-
tain IL the car has been titled.
From April 1 10 date, the Wash
ington ofiiee OF the Maryland Auto
mobile Commissioner has done q
business OF s94.2i6.0I. This does not
include the months In which most OF
the automobile licenses ara taken
out by Washington sutoists. A great
many take out their licenses on
March 1. the beginning OF the sec
ond quarter OF the year, when the fee
10 reduced one-fourth. This is done.
IL 10 said, to save the quarter OF the
fee and also because very few Wash =
inston motorists use the Maryland
roads in bad weather.
At the hrst signs OF spring the
Washington motorists begin taking
rides into the country, and IL is only
in the past few years that any great
number of Washingtonlans took out
licenses on or before the first day OF
the year.

Issued 500 tags to automobiles for
hire; 1000 solid-tire tags, such as are
used by commercial vehicles; zoo tags
for motorcycles with side cars, and
500 to motorcycles.
OF course. II was pointed out that
, some Of these tags were sold to resi-
dents OF nearby Maryland. who found
Washington the most convenient place
| to obtain their tags. but the majority
Of them have been bought by Wash
ingtonians.
The bureau has averaged about 450
| applications for titles day since the
beginning OF the summer. and the

tors permits, and titles has exceeded
the number that q few years ago ap-
piled at the Baltimore office, when

There is no greater nonsense than
this talk OF a general Irish uprising"
said Mr.. Esmonde. who Is a son Of Sir
Thomas Grattan Esmonde, for thirty
years member OF parliament and
now president of the National Bank OF
Dublin. "The Irish republic Is well
di iscipIined and obedient to law. II
McSwiney dies. there will not be a
shot fred. The only place where there
is the slightest possibility of disorder
is Belfast, where great religious ami
mosities exist.
REPUBLIC Is STABLE.
"The Irish republic now without
doubt is the most stable government
in Europe. Unlike the English gov
ernment and other governments,
whose position is precarious and
whose mandate is doubtful" said Mr..
Esmonde, the Irish government has
not only the support but the allie
glance of the general public. Nothing
can destroy the Irish republic now
short of the complete determination
of it's citizens, and world opinion Is
strong enough to prevent that.
Sooner or later the Irish republic
will be recognized by the United
States and other neutrals. That is
certain. BY recognizing us, the United
States would greatly hasten peace be-
tween the Irish and British peoples.
Some Englishmen want to keep the
Irish republic in chains; some Ameri-
cans want to keep it in quotation
marks; 1t will escape from both.
SANCTIONED BY 0l r. G.
THE English bring the charge that
the Irish are not united, that
they can't agree among themselves.
But the facts are that the Irish Re-
public rests upon the largest majority
sanction of any government in the
world. During the last three years

The Bolivar Commercial
Pleads mot Guilty.
Then Virtually Admits Every
Charge Made By The
Democrat.

Mr.. William F. Gray, editor of
the Bolivar Commercial, begins a
lengthy article in his paper of the
10th inst, by pleading "not
guilty" to the charges made by
The Democrat in the issue of July
10th. Then he virtually admits
every charge made in our article
in regard to the county printing.
We said that Mr.. Gray, in reply
to our proposal to divide the
county printing and publishing,
said that our plan was imprac
ticable. He contends that he
said it was inconsistent. " The
only difference in this, so far as
we can see. is the difference be-
tween twiddle dunn and twiddle
dee.' The real reason, as he adj
mits, was because be thought he
could hold the contract another
year because of verbal agree
ment which he claims was made
in August, 1919, when, as mat,
ter Of fact, the agreement he had
was made in August, 1918, just
after the suspension of The Fin.
terprise. His file will show that
we are right about the month and
year-for that is the time he be.
gan publishing the proceedings
and legal notices.
Mr.. Gray also says, and we be-
lieve this statement is correct
that in his bid he said that "In
consideration of all legal publica.
tions required by the county, the
Bolivar Commercial will publish
the proceedings Of the Board OF
Supervisors for the nominal sun
Of one dollar per month, for the
period Of two years from date.
But this does not refute the state
ment that he was trying to has
the Board give him the work a.
from two TO three times the price
offered by The Democrat an(
Enterprise, and the bid was made
in such a way that the member
Of the Board did not understand
that they would be paying a mucl
higher rate, but left them under
the impression that his bid wa'
the lowest, and it was for thi
reason that his bid was promptly
excepted. After the trick was ex
posed the Board rescinded the or
der allowing him the contract.
As to the personal references t.
Mr.. Gray, which be claims to b.
gratuitous and offensive, W.
claim that his endeavor to hol(
the printing when he did not hav,
a legal contract, and tie furthe.
fact that he tried to- secure tn
contract from the county at {
higher price than was bid by hi
competitors, speak for themselves
There is no need for us to com
ment on the matter.
