CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Party Lines Shattered Party labels don’t mean much these days. ‘The Republican party mects every four years and for- Mulates a platform and goes through the function of nominating a national ticket. Then the delegates return to their respective commun- ities, most of them to forget the principles laid down for their guidance as Republicans, Every two years congressmen are elected. Most of them fight shy of pronouncement or platform. They ‘wave the flag and strut the platform. Most candidates today are little more than vote-baiters. Anything to get the vote, even to soft-pedaling some of the great Principles which are supposed to be paramount and dif- ferentiate a Republican from a Demiocrat or a Socialist. Every six years we elect United States senators. All of them are very solicitous about the Republican or Dem- ocratic labels, for without them they cannot get their names on the ballot. They, too, say little about plat- form or principles. The battle is waged along different lines since the primary law became effective. Party loyalty is a thing of the past. A concrete example is that of the Hughes confirmation squabble, President Hoover was entitled to the solid support of his party in the matter of such an excellent appointment. If any act called for party adherence, the Hughes appointment did. The choice of ‘Hughes, while such appointments are not regarded in a Political sense, nevertheless reflected honor and glory upon the Republican party just as every good and noble deed President Hoover does as a public official adds lus- ter to the Republican party. ‘The senate coalition is merely a natural resultant of Party defection. In most countries when a public offi- cial finds himself so out of harmony with the head of his party that he must join opponents in defeating the great principles of that party, he leaves that party and joins the opposition. As there is little party allegiance left in state or na- tional government, so there is little of party ethics. The Republican defection in the United States senate 4s undermining party organization everywhere. President Hoover, admirable as he is in many of his policies, is not able to lead the recalcitrant members of his party into the fold. Just where it is leading was vividly shown the other day in the Second Massachusetts congressional district, where for the first time in history, a Democrat was elect- ed. Many Massachusetts Republicans voted with the Democrats as a protest against the coalitionists. There are too many Republicans in the senate and house kick- ing their own party in the head. If they cannot agree ‘with the majority of their party, they had better dis- card their Republican labels and adopt the Democratic label or else revive the old Progressive title. ‘The primary law has destroyed party loyalty and vir- tually party management. It is every man for himself. In time, doubtless, a way will be found which will pre- reassuring, whether one reads Roman history for the test or contelnplates the more recent list of dictatorships of the world, Always, “‘the man on horseback” has been @ sinister figure. At any time to entrust to soldiers, then, the regulation of the people's personal conduct is hardly in keeping with the spirit of American Anstitutions, As the Balti- more Sun says, it may be fine to have a military’man on the job when it comes to putting down murder, arson, rape, burglary mayhem and rioting, but it's not so good when he is set to regulating morals, and “the present effort to make Washington a model city seems to hinge upon the regulation of morals rather than upon sup- pression of crimes of violence.” If that were not sufficient argument, there is the dis- covery of Senator Blease that the law provides for two civilian commissioners on the board of three. The ap- pointment of Crosby will put two military men there and leave only one civilian. It would seem that the senate could justify its action if it turned the appointment down as contrary to law—a law as much entitled to respect as are other laws. While Attorney General Mitchell has given an oral opinion that the appointment would be legal, John Gari- baldi Sargent, attorney general in the Coolidge cab! is on record with an opposite opinion. : The Power of Simple Faith Simple faith in Ife possesses a tenacity which can perform miracles. In a modern world of doubts and in- cessant questionings this old-fashioned state of mind and heart is a very striking fact, though it is not very wide-spread. Its examples are all the more outstand- ing for that. It is so hard to escape the infection that is all around——in books, magazines, newspapers even in sermons sometimes—that one is forced to marvel when men and women are able to sustain themselves smilingly under rebuff, adversity and misfortune and continue to face the bitter facts of life with unflinching souls. Such examples, it has been sald, turn skepticism’s heavy ar- tillery into a mere battery of popguns. There is, for instance, an old couple living in a cot- tage in southern California, They are an undistinguish- ed pair, in some ways. Fame and fortune have passed farming town for many years. He served a country church from youth to old age, and his horizon was lim- ness, sticking cternally to his job. ‘The other part of the couple is his sister. ried on in the small town parsonage. one night, and their collection of books, trinkets and heirlooms vanished. They rebuilt it and went on with- out losing their optimism. waiting together for the end of the story. This story, so far, isn’t unusual. On the face of it, it is utterly Grab and uneventful. Yet this old man and his white-haired sister are notable; because, through their long lives, they held fast to a faith such as most of us, in a skeptical world, can only marvel at. They have had tragedy, loneliness and sorrow in full measure, yet their eyes are bright with smiles. Their horizons have always been limited, yet they never feel that they have missed anything. Death is close to them, but they face it unafraid. The sister writes to a friend: “We shall visit you next summer, if we are spared so long.” That is their attitude. Life, with all its heart- bresks, has been very good; yet, if it is not to lass much longer, that also is good. Perhaps you would not go to the retired minister of @ country church to get wisdom. But you might do worse. This aged couple has succeeded where many People fail. They have managed to accept life as it is, good and bad alike, retaining their faith, their hope— and their happiness, : It is good to look on people like that. Good—yet a | trifle disturbing. It raises the dread suspicion; perhaps we, who cannot attain to a placid faith of that kind, are just a little bit too clever for our own good. ‘vent the use of a party label by one who is not bound by its mandates and policies. ‘That may be the next trend. Cossack Police Rule President Hoover’s declared intention to put Major General Herbert B. Crosby on the job of mopping up Washington by appointing him a member of the dis- trict commission, with authority specifically over the po- lice, fire and traffic services, has aroused much discus- sion as to the wisdom and even the legality of the plan. Military men do not make good administrators when Placed on posts that are of civil character, unless these {posts are of a technical nature and the officers are of those branches of the service, that is engineers. Colonel George Waring made a good street commissioner in New ‘York back in the 90's. He started the system of street Cleaning operated by the “white wings” and handled the ®ewage problem in such a way that he was able on one occasion to serve a dinner at which, he informed the guests, after they had finished eating, that they had been drinking water extracted from sewage by filtration 80 perfect that the drink matched the best bottled wa- ters on the market. General Grant was a military hero, yet his adminis- Hon enforcer. He failed to hold the job, for it was too much for him to hold. ‘The example nearest to the Crosby case was that of Major Gen. Smediey Butler as director of public safety bre of the head of the marines had made Butler avid with swashbuckling sest that produced much uproar but moO permanent results. In fact, much greater effect has ‘been gained under civilian control of the same depart- ment since then. Butler merely bulldozed the miserable 8lso was the author of that other farce, the sesqui-cen- tennial—had set this military Legree. While he lasted as autocrat of the police, the authority of that depart- ment became one continual round of foolish and tyran- -melodrama. ‘But the use of; military men in civilian posts such as. ser filled s0 ignobly and as Crosby will take over, is gisp = matter of principle.
