I! TRANSPARENT GLASS Senator Glass of Virginia, with the consistent inconsis tency of southerners, is insis tent upon the enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment, and wants federal agents sent into the different states to en force it, but is equally insistent that the Fourteenth and Fif teenth amendments shall not be enforced in the southern states. His line of argument by which he justifies, or at tempts to justify, his inconsis tent position, of which he seems sublimely unconscious, is far from illuminating or con vincing and one wonders how’ a learned southern senator could seriously submit such speciousness and delude him self into thinking it an argu ment. Southern myopia on the race question explains it. Senator Glass overlooks the fact that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend ments are equally as much a part of the Constitution of the United States as is the Eighteenth, and as such should be enforced. Of course, they have been nul lified, but this nullification is wrong and indefensible. Loyal Americans should stand for the enforcement of the Constitu tion. Senator Glass is a nulli ficationist of the same kidney as those who in other sections oppose the enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment. The Virginia senator’s atti tude, though inconsistent, is quite transparent. Some glass is opaque, and some glass is transparent. NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN The genial and efficient Charles A. McCloud, of York, Nebraska, is desirous of suc ceeding himself as Republican National Committeeman, and we see no reason why this laudable ambition should not be gratified. The Monitor knows of no better choice that could be made and wishes Mr. McCloud success. Petitions for his candidacy are being circu lated by his friends and ardent supporters. STILL OUR CHOICE We have not said anything about it lately, but Walter W. Head of Nebraska is still our choice for the republican nom ination for president in 1928. As we have said before, he is not a politician and the politi cians may not want him, but he is an astute, level-h e a d e d, broad-minded business man, closely in touch with the finan cial east and the agricultural west. Nebraska is believed to be rather rich in democrats of presidential caliber, why not let the country know that Ne braska has republicans of large presidential dimensions and that Walter W. Head is one of them. Let republican leaders in this state get busy and the next republican president may be Head of Nebraska. Let aside your modesty, gentlemen, go to it and put Nebraska on the map in national republican political circles. It can be done. LET’S HAVE IT No one who has ever visited the Douglas County hospital will deny that the old anti quated and overcrowded build ing has long outgrown its use fulness and should be replaced by a modern, up-to-date plant. It is therefore to be hoped that the present effort of all for ward-looking citizens to secure a new building may be success ful. The county’s indigent sick and unfortunate should have adequate provision for their care. The successful and opu lent of today, through circum stances over which he has no control, may tomorrow need the care of such an institution. Less important enterprises may be postponed, but a new hos pital is needed now. Let’s have it. LINCOLN NEWS One of the striking events of the season was a dinner party given by Mr. and Mrs. M. L.
