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.

BACHELOR BENEDICT CLUB
GIVES DELIGHTFUL PARTY
One of the prettiest parties of the
season was that given Saturday even
ing by the Bachelor Benedict club, at
their beautiful club rooms, 2426%
North Twenty-fourth street. Danc
ing and cards were the attractions of
the evening. At midnight a dainty
luncheon was served. The rooms
were decorated with the club colors,
which added much to the pleasure
of the guests.
The outstanding feature of the
evening was the drawing for a $5.00
gold piece, which was won by Miss
Clara Westbrook. Dr. C. H. Single
ton, director of activities, reports that
the affair was a financial as well as
a social success.
The executive committee of the
club is working out the details for the
whist tournament, to determine the
best whist players in the city. The
details will be published w'ithin the
near future. All persons desiring to
take part are requested to register
at either the Peoples’ Drug Store,
Killingsworth and Price barber shop,
or with Dr. Clarence H. Singleton.
A Ladies’ Auxiliary of the club
will be organized within the near fu
ture to assist the men in their social
activities.
