Anent Party Loyalty.

DRoM1NENT Iowa Republicans announce
they will not support Col Brookhart the
party's regularly nominated candidate for United
States Senator. Among those who declare they
viii bolt the ticket are two former Republican gov
ernors. They will throw their support to the Demo
cratic candidate. The is they say, that
they fear Mr.. Brookhart's radical tendencies may
work to the detriment OF the country They think
he is no better than Socialist masquerading in
Repu 0lican topcoat.
But we are impressed by the belief that these
politicians are poor sportsmen. Mr.. Brookhart
may be radical-but he 10 no radical than
the majority of Republican voters of the Common
wealth who supported him in the primary. He
may have ideas about government that do
not meet the sanction Of conservative politicians
but is that reason why who continually
preaching the doctrine OF party loyalty should
throw this slogan overheard soon candidate
is nominated who does not please them?
We think OF many who would be far
less desirable additions to the United States Senate
than the soldier from Iowa. He is at least, an
honest, plain-spoken man. Like Andy Gump, he
mans collar. And he is above all, a
sterling patriot. Mr.. Brookhart's policies may not
be entirely constitutional-but he did not hesitate
to risk his life for the support of the government
OF the United States on the battle6elds of France
while of those who now oppose him stayed
at home.
What have the organizations Of world war vet
Grams in Iowa to say about insinuations that Col
Brookhart is not per cent patriot? If there
time when these should enter

their own who is opposed by the old line interests

AT the worst. he do hurt in the Senate. He
will just make of a small, radical body

afraid to speak their minds.
We would not to entire Senate
made up Of such men as Col Brookhart. But we
would hate to Senate with no men Of his
type included in its membership. Such gentlemen
sometimes have flashes Of inspiration that save the
country.
But why discuss his qualifications? Do the
Republican leaders in Iowa believe in party gov
ernment? Do they believe in loyalty to the choice
OF the people? If so, let them support Col. Brook
hart. Otherwise. let hear no more about the

Another Auto Abuse.

MYTH considerable indignation a subscriber
w protests against the number of automobile
licenses issued by other States seen on the streets
of the District of Columbia. We must admit that
his wrath is justified Altogether too many perma-
nent residents OF Washington cheat the District
treasury by securing tags and operators permit
from some Commonwealth in which they gained
citizenship years ago They never intend to return
to that State. They have property or family
interest within its borders. They pay no taxes to
its treasurer. But there times in the life of
every Washngtonian when it is convenient to re-
member that he lived in Massachusetts,, New
York, California, Texas or anywhere outside the
disfranchiscd limits of the National Capital
Of there regulations defining the
length OF time foreign tags be used in the city,
but these are very difficult to enforce. Thousands
Of yearly are driven to Washington from other
States. Only inuitive perception would enable Dis
rict policemen separate those entitled to carry
the tags of another State from those owned and
driven by Washingtonans Of long residence 1t
would be possible to drive a Massachusetts, car
for five years the streets of the District each
day without running afoul of the law-f the driver
was fortunate in not attracting undue attention.
The practice is dishonest-but it is apt to be
convenient. In most instances the foreign tags
cost but they do not cost so much as a Dis
trict license and Maryland license combined The
driver is spared all the Inconvenience Of taking an
examination for a District operators permit fol-
lowed by the nuisance of appearing before men,
bers Of the Maryland license board. We do not
know how the situation be remedied Any
laws will be hard to enforce and are bound to be
violated We would not ask the police to stop
every car which passes them and put the driver
through an inquiston. Generally the latter would
be able 10 lie out of it. Only in rare instances
would he be known to the policeman. 1t would
be difficult indeed to dispute his statement that he
had been in the District only thirty days. The in
vestigatiou would take up time than would
be justified over such insignificant matter-and
then nothing would be done about it in most
instances. But it does wrong that men and
women who earn their living in the District, who
live here 365 days each year, whose homes and
families here and who are, for all practical
purposes, citizens Of Washington should cheat the
community out OF the few dollars asked for license
tags
Perhaps the is that these citizens of
Washington know they will have nothing to say
about the disposition Of the money they pay into
the public treasury. This, of course, is the curse
OF everything connected with the District of Co.
umtia-but it hardly is adequate excuse in this
instance.
