The Half-Holiday Law.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The star:
Having become interested in the recent
agitation and discussion relative to clos
ing government departments Saturday at
II O'Clock throughout the year. as pro-
yided in section 1889 of the District code.
write this for the purpose Of securing
an opinion through the columns of your
paper as to this matter. 1t would seem
from a perusal Of the section referred to
that its provisions are so patent and in
telligible that the discussions We have
heard as to the best method of procedure
in carrying into effect this desirable in
st;tution are superfluous. If this is
valid law, enacted by Congress. it would
seem that the executive department of
the government Is negligent in its duty
in not carrying il into execution. This
must be the case, or else we are to un-
derstand that all laws enacted by. Con-
gress are either discretionary on the part
OF the executive agency of the govern
ment or that some are more valid than
others. We cannot conceive of the lat
ter paradox. We believe that the law Is
effective "a proprio vigore.' and with
out any forms on the part of the execu-
tive department Would not govern
ment employee be justified legally to walk
out Saturday at the time prescribed?

GRAND JURY ATTACKED.
Validity Questioned in Abatement
Plea for John ]. Patten.

The validity Of the present grand jury
is attacked in a plea in abatement filed
by Attorney Matthew E. O'Brien on be-
half of John j. Patten, one Of four
boys charged with murder in the first de-
gree in connection with the killing of
John Spencer, colored. on Benning road,
July IA last. Mr.. O'Brien claims the
names OF the jurors were drawn from
the jury box in the privacy Of the clerk $
office, and by an assistant clerk. He de-
clares the law requires public drawing
by the clerk in person.
Assistant United States Attorney Proc
tor will traverse the question of fact
raised by the plea and a hearing will
be held next week on the matter.
Joseph O'Donnell. Joseph Needham and
Frank Dougherty. the other boys in
dicted, entered pleas of not guilty when
arraigned today before Justice Gould in
Criminal Court No. >. Patten did not
plead, as he must await disposition OF
the question of law raised by his coun-
sci. Attorneys for the other boys Sc
cured permission to withdraw the pleas
of not guilty and plead in abatement, if
so advised.

Object to Regulations.

40
The primary object of the traffic regu-
lations is, of course. to prevent careless
ness and at the same time to diminish
to a minimum the chances for street
accidents. Secondarily. they are made
for the expedient handling Of the traffic
Regulation Of traffic and prevention Of
accidents is not supposed by the traffic
regulations to be placed solely on the
spirit is urged upon all for facilitating
traffic and lettering conditions in this
line. Section Of the regulations pro-
vides: DRIVERS shall comply with the
traffic regulations and are requested to
cooperate with the police in instructing
others in order to facilitate traffic, pre-
vent blockades, avoid loss of life or in
jury to person or property and to dimin-
ish loss of time and money due to nom
observance thereof
Cooperation Anticipated.
The regulations also infer that addi-
tional cooperation is anticipated from
private citizens, to aid in preventing and
in making for the proper punishment of
traffic violators. This intimation, which
is also part of section 4. provides the
following: Complaints against drivers
should be made at the nearest police sta
ton or to a police officer. The number
OF the vehicle, the names of the parties
concerned and all other details shall be
fully noted in writing and the further
necessary action shall be carefully eX-
planned 10 the complainant"
One man interviewed recently said that
il was largely due to the drivers Of the
vehicles themselves that the traffic condi-
tions in London. England. were so good.
when one driver sees another trying to
get the advantage of him by breaking a
traffic rule he very quickly complains, :
he said. land the result is that traffic
conditions there are about the finest in
the world.
The fact that the police OF Washington
have been given authority to control traf
fic is said to be aiding greatly at congest-
cd points. making the passage of pedes-
TRANS safer and quicker. 1t will take
by some. before the system controlling
crossing traffic atta.ns Its best results.
In Residential Sections.
Attention has been called. however. to
largely Observation-Disclosures conditions are
said 10 be not so congested. but in reality
greatly dangerous to life and limb be-
cause people often allow their vigilance
to relax.
Numerous instances of vehicles stand
ing with their left wheels to the curb or
failing to make the proper curve in turn
Ing TO the left have been noted.
In some of the suburban parts of the
city and In some instances where the
neighborhoods arc not SO thickly settled,
il is said carelessness on the part of We
hicle drivers reaches a maximum and the
danger is often augmented by the fact
that the children In many instances play
in the street.

JEALOUS BIRMINGHAM,

ThefBlrmingham Aoe-Hcrdld is somewhat per
turbeds over the fact that one OF the Richmond
newspapers has been comparing the Virginia
capital to the Alabama metropolis to the dis
rarage1nent OF the latter.
Though 1t does not call names the AoeHernld
complains that "the Richmond journal in ques-
ton has been nagging at this city and has been
trying totprove that notwithstanding the census
figures it'was not as large Richmond, which
was below Birmingham in the census One OF
the facts brought forward In favor q Rich
mond was its larger postoffce receipts. But
the Richmond editor was not familiar with
certain facts. Richmond, like most cities in
the United States. has only one postoffice. Birm-
ingham has four-Ensley. Wylam and Thomas
-aAdiuan- Ii 1he hig. n4stot12e In greater
New York the Brooklyn postoftce still remains
and In Los Angeles there is a postoface in one
of the outlying sections, but in no other cities,
so far as l have been able to learn. has Uncle
Sam more than one postof7ce.
"In the course of time the Ensley, Wylam
and Thomas postofces will be merged into
the Birmingham postoffce Had we now only
one postotiice the total revenue would show
well in comparison with Richmond"
The editor of the Age-Herad might also do
well to familiarize himself with certain facts
Richmond has two big. postofices and two
important substations within the city limits

THE PARCELS POST REFORM.
DO TTfNOw

Just how the opponents Of Postmaster-Ge General
Burieson are going to prevent his plans involv-
.inga certain reforms In the parcels post service
In not. quite clear at this writing In spite Of
the lo1kl-nouthed opposition from certain quar-.
tiers ofsthe senate 1t is the announced plan
OF thetpostmaster general TO provide for a re-
ductionA OF rates and an increase on the size of
thespachages which may he carried. He proposes
10 raise the weight limit from II TO 20 pounds
and to abolish the second zone distance
Tire postmaster-general says that the govern
ment will profit through the new arrangement
by reasons OF the increase in business and that
in short while further reductions will be pos
sible. He says the business of the postoffice de
partment has shown enormous increase since the
Inauguration Of the parcels post. and he OK
poets the increase to continue. The interstate
commerce commission has agreed 10 the limo
walton. being convinced that they are for the
purpose of promoting the service to the public
and that the increased revenue viii more than
Offset the cost
Ample authority is given the postmaster-gen-
eral. under the law as it stands and the obtec-
tionAto his plan smacks strongly OF an express
trust lobby. One section of the act gives him
power 10 reform the classification of articles,
naailabIe as we'll as the weight limit, the rates
of postage, zone or zones and other conditions
of mailibility." This language seems compre-
hensive enough. for even the average schoolboy
For the very that the system was an
experiment, the act creating it was made pur
pose5y elastic and the wisdom Of the action has
beeua amply demonstrated by the reforms which
haresbeen put In motion since the system was In
augurated. The retirement Of the special stamps
the establishment OF the c, O. d. feature and
the reduction in rates are In evidence 1t was
absolutely essential that the postotfice depart
ment be$ given carte blanche to try out the sys

postoffcee department is not a money making In
stitntion--it aims solely 10 make expenses. When
IL is found that any branch Of the department Is
making profit, it is the duty of the head oil
the department to give the people the benefit
Of this profit. That is what Mr. Burleson is
aiming at. and It comes with poor grace for any

Proves Nothing.

Ohio's new constitution contains a provision
embodied therein in response to what was re-
garded as clamorous public sentiment for gov
eminent by commission, giving to the different
municipalities the right To vote on the question,
each deciding for itself So far three cities have
awaited themselves of the privilege of submitting
the matter to popular vote, and all three have
rejected the commission plan.
This. of course, does not constitute any argu-
ment against the system as such; 1t only shows
that a majority of the people in each of the
three municipalities in question are opposed to
substituting ii at this time for the form of gov
eminent they have. What would be the re
suit of similar referenda In Virginia If had, We
do not undertake to say. nor does 1t AFFECT the
real merits of the question which the next
general assembly will be asked 10 pass upon
That question IL whether or not the constitution
of the State shall be amended as to permit
the cities which may wish government by com
mission to adopt 1t, and to this there Is hardly
room for any other than decided
affirmative No Virginia city may really want
government by commission. but certainly every
Virginia city should have the right to adopt
the system when and If it should desire. So
much Is demanded by proper regard for the
principle OF local self government. and local
self government constitutes one of the founda-
ton stones OF real Democracy VIZ
