The Districts Case is Closed.

In the news columns today appears a
Paragraph stating that the President has
about decided to appoint Mr.. Thompson Of
Illinois TO be justice Of the Supreme Court
OF the District, to succeed the late Justice
Bradley of the District of Columbia, unless
the people Of the District can persuade him
that ne should appoint local man.
Throughout the past week the people of
the District have been bringing evidence
and arguments 10 bear upon the President
Tor this very purpose Of persuading him of
the injustice of the appointment of any out
side man 10 this position. The Star has
printed a large number Of interviews with
Citizens Of the District of all classes and
occupations, showing that the unanimous
sentiment Of the capital is strongly adverse
to the suggestion of an outsider for the
local judgeship. II has cited the precedents
which virtually command a local appoint
ment in this instance. 1t has pointed out
the reasons in law equity, fairness and
fidelity to the principles of the merit sys-
tenn and of home rule which dictate a local
nomination
what more can the President want? The
case could not possibly be clearer. 1t is
founded upon custom, equity and public
sentiment. If local man is not called for
IN this instance there is no barrier what
ever between the District offices and the
great beyond of political favoritism. OF
arguments there are no more. OF public
opinion there is only repetition to be quoted
The District has spoken, and it's request
cannot be misunderstood. Unless the ut
teTances Of last week have had their good
effect the Presidents mind is not likely to
be changed by anything that can be fur
ther said The people of the District can
now only wait in the hope that the truths
upon which last weeks outburst of express
sion was based will reach the presidential
understanding in time to prevent this
threatened injustice.

"Unfinished Business

The change-of-date proposition, in which
the whole country is interested is now the
unfinished business of the House judi
ciary committee. That phrase unfinished
business has an unpleasant unsound. 1t
smacks of permanent incompleton. The
proportion of unfinished to finished bust
ness is, at a wild guess, as one thousand to
one. Most of the unfinished business de-
serves no better fate. The country's pros
perity, doubtless. has been due in large
measure to the lack Of the finishing touch
to thousands of legislative propositions.
But here is a project which promises to
the people benefit, health, comfort and a
business-like reimbursement of the ma tional
calendar. 1t involves certain difficulties
and shade of political embarrassment
But the way to a solution is plain if the
matter Is approached in a non-partisan
spirit. The inauguration date can be
changed without affecting the prospects or
the interests of either party or menacing
the prosperity of the people. The date of
the converting of Congress can at the same
time be amended to suit the business re-
quirements of the country in legislation, or
it can be postponed again without prevent
ing the adoption of the amendment which
looks to a more sensible time for the induc-
ton of the President into office.
The way to solve the problem is for both
parties to agree upon the simplest plan for
the fixing of a new Inauguration date. If
they cannot also agree upon a scheme for a
January meeting of Congress let that
phase of the case go by for the present
But the Inauguration date plan should by
no means be permitted to become perma-
nently unfinished

The Hall of Records Site.

The sundry civil bill should be so framed
in conference as to leave no question about
the general area within which the new hall
of records is to be built. AS The Star has
heretofore noted, the item providing for the
construction states that if a site cannot be
found within the Mall the building shall be
erected elsewhere in the District.
The evil effects of such a method of site
provision have been long apparent. In
consequence of the loose and unsystematic
| manner in which public buildings were pro-
vided for and their sites chosen by Congress
in the past many departures from the citys
plan have occurred, while long delays have
resulted from disagreements over the pre-
else locations for specific buildings. The
plan of placing all future public buildings
in the Mali-avenue triangle was devised in
part for the express purpose of preventing
further unsystenatic emplacements and of
reducing to a minimum the delay incidental
| to governmental land purchases. Now the
excellent start which has been made to-
ward this end appears to be in danger of a
check in this item.
The Mall is not the proper place for the
hall of records in any event. The building
is not of a character emitting it to location
there even under the plan proposed by the
park commission of putting within that
space the buildings devoted to the scientific
bureaus of the government. The record hall
should be more centrally situated than in
the Mall. 1t should be convenient of access
from all of the departmental buildings. An
avenue frontage is to be desired unless all
the avenue fronting land within the triangle
can be more suitably used for the future
buildings of administrative nature. But
whether facing the avenue or placed further
within the triangle, the logical and most
suitable site is within that area, preferably
toward the western end.
The advocates of the systematic and ar
tistic development of the capital would re-
gret to see the hall of records erected with
in the Mall because of the encroachment
upon park lands which such a departure
would entail They would regret equally
the selection of site dictated by real estate
considerations alone outside of the area nat
urally marked off for all future government
structures. If the conferees do not desire
to prohibit the emplacement within the
Mall, they should at the very least circum-
scribe in some rational degree the area
within which, outside of the Mall, the site
must lie.

be deferred seriously by a prohibition
against bearing arms.
The return of all prisoners and the ex-
tension to them and those now in, the field
OF general amnesty was to have been ex-
pected under any circumstances. Naturally
England reserves the right to proceed
against those who have been guilty of
breaches of the rules of war.
The military government is to be sue
ceeded as soon possible by a self-govern-
ing administration, doubtless in the form
of crown colony, with a governor ap
pointed by the crown and a legislative
assemblage elected by popular vote. Cape
Colony affords the most likely type to be
duplicated in the new colonies. There is no
precise iuforma alton yet at hand as to
whether the two former republics will be
organized one or two colonies.
An agreement which deprives the Beers
of their flag and their full independence
cannot fail to be bitter to them; but the
accompanying terms are moderate and wise
and reflect credit upon the negotiators.
They make for stability and good govern
ment I'm the regions so long devastated by
war. They permit as large a degree of au-
tonomy as is possible under the British sys-
tenn today. They inflict minimum of hard
ship upon the burghers, relieve them of an
enormous war burden and set them we'll on
their way toward a restoration of prosperi
ty. Craftsmanship has scored heavily in
the peace plan.

South Africa.

The news from South Africa is none the
less welcome because expected. Peace was
the universal wish. Not only the Beers
and British. but all other peoples were tired
of the war In its larger aspect it ended
some time ago If the Beers had been well
advised they would have made terms much
sooner. II was a apparent then as last
week to all outsiders that the Boer cause
was hopeless. Intervention on behalf of the
Beers was out II the question sympathy
for them whereve- il existed, and aduira-
tion for their fighting qualities were wholly
disassociated from dJy thought in respon
sibIe quarters of taking the war off their
hands So that for months we have wit

of raiding parties on the one hand. and

tary communication N the other. with the
End slowly but certainly coming. 1t has
come at last, and all men feel a sense of
relief
But the ending OF one task witnesses the
beginning of another. Great Britain must
make good now by wise legislation and or
ganization the right she has asserted to
control South Africa. The new order of
things must embrace benefits for all the
Inhabitants Of that country The Boer is
to be expected to stay. and it must be
made worth his while to stay. The Briton
Will increase in numbers and new arrivals
and natives must live together in peace
and concord The one flag must come to

perity far more than the three that for
merry f1oated there did. AS the union jack
Is now TO stand for all, it must be for all
the symbol CT hope and protection. Moth
ing less than this Will meet the OCCASION
and Justify Great Britain in the course she
has pursued
This task is difficult, but Great Britain
has set her hand successfully to as difficult
things elsewhere. She has wrought great
deeds in both Australia and Canada. Her
name as a colOnizer stands at the head of
the list. What is there indeed to prevent
success in South Africa if her hand has
not lost its cunning? The party that fought
the way is still In power and has large
majority to draw upon. An excellent start
Is thus assured. Lord Salisbury it is true
Is firing of office but any one of several
men who have long been associated with
him in government would fill his place with
satisfaction to the country.
Peace, then, means new duties and in
creased responsibilities Great Britain is
considerably out of pocket, and poorer in
the loss of many sons, but her colonies are
stronger than ever, and their devotion to
the general welfare very conspicuous The
empire energies from a period of unexam-
pied gloom still one of the most potent fac
tors in the worlds affairs

The Municipal Building Appropriation


1t appears that the paragraph of the
omnibus public building bill, now awaiting
presidential approval, carries no distinct
appropriation for the construction Of the
Districts municipal building. The Commits
sioners have called the attention Of the
Senate to this omission and asked that an
item of 100000 be added to the District
appropriation bill to permit the purchase
of the prescribed site and the commence
ment of the work the structure. 1t
would be most unfortunate If, after wait
ing all these years for legislative authority
to build a municipal home, the District
were obliged through a mere inadvertance
in legislative phrasng to wait another full
season for the actual start on the construc-
ton. 1t matters not by which appropria-
ton bill this item is carried The money
is to be paid on the half-and-half basis, and
it might as well be included in the District
budget as in the original measure as far
as results are concerned. If this appro-
priation is made at the present session the
site can doubtless be secured at once, and
inasmuch as it is already cleared there will
be no obstacle in the way of a practical
start on the actual work itself, an event
which has been SO long postponed and rep
resents the supplying of such a pressing
need that it should be marked by some
form of celebration.

Freak Automobiles,

The death-dealing antics of freak auto
mobile on Staten Island last Saturday have
aroused public indignation in the metrop-
oils against automatic vehicles to such an
extent that legislation prohibiting speed
trials on the thoroughfares is urgently pro-
posed. The machine in this case was of
an eccentric type. 1t proved to be utterly
untrustworthy and while travelling at a
tremendous rate of speed became unman-
ageable and plunged into a crowd, killing
two people and seriously injuring several
others. The race for speed by means of
these machines has heretofore developed
only normal types Of carriages, but this
contrivance was so radical in construction
that it should have been tested thoroughly
