THE MOTOR VEHICLE PROBLEM

Il is occasion for regret that the
Commissioners of the District in
their annual report have not seen fit
to recommend some change In the
law fixing a twelve-mile speed limit
for automobiles in the city. The un-
derstanding is that the recommenda-
tion will be forthcoming later in
special form, and that effort will be
made to secure some modification of
present bad conditions. If it is not
Initiated by the municipal admins
tration then some friend of the Dis
trict should introduce and press the
legislation.
Last year the recommendation was
made that the present iron-clad
speed limit law be repealed and a
general authorization conferred on
the Commissioners to make regula-
tions which should include the power
to vary the speed limit on different
streets, according to conditions. This
is the kind of legislation that should
be passed. There is more of danger
than of safety in the present low
speed limit. The real purpose of
such regulations is to insure the
greatest measure of security. Safe
driving. not slow driving necessarily,
should be the criterion, as it is be-
coming more and more generally in
cities that handle the motor car
problem most successfully. Wash u.
ington, of all towns, ought to have
administrative discretion vested in
some proper authority, to adopt
rules to real needs.

PRACTICAL PRISON REFORM

Thomas Mott Osborne, warden of
Sing Sing prison, speaking before
the women's department of the Ma
tional Civic Federation, made a
straightforward and convincing ex-
PLANTATION of the policies he has ad-
vocated in his work at Sing Sing
and Auburn.
Mr.. Osborne's plea for the indie
terminate sentence is along the line
OF present day thinking by students
OF penal reform who are not at all
radical. The whole revolution in our
method Of treating prisoners is
brought about by the clearer realiza-
tion of what prisons are for. They
are not, to the minds of modern
students, places where society
wreaks a narrowing vengeance upon
those who have violated it's canons.
They are not places for the incar-
ceration Of an abnormal class of So
ciety. The persons in them are not
detectives and they are not abnor-
NAL, for the most part.
To Mr.. Osborne the prison is a
sort of psychic hospital, whence men
may come forth "desirous and cap.
able of becoming useful citizens p
There is no effort to mitigate the
punishment feature, AS Mr.. Os-
borne happily points out, the loss
Of a mans liberty is the essential
feature of the punishment, and hs
own home would become an effective
penal institution were he to be in.
carcerated there, even with all the
comforts to which he has been ac.
eustomed.
Mr.. Osborne is not alone in be,
lieving the halting walk, the furtivC
glances, and the stopped shoulders
Of the man who comes out of prison
is the stamp of the prison, not Of the
man. He is not in favor of pamper,
ing or coddling prisoners. He merely
wishes to surround them with in
fuences which will enable them Il
become good citizens after they have
paid the sufficient debt to society q

assured that they can "make good"

frequently planned on such made
quate scale that before they could
be completed the needs had already
outgrown them.
There have been scandalous illus
trations, too, Of the waste that
"pull" has involved in the selection
Of sites for public buildings. Sites
have been chosen without reference
to the needs or economies Of the
public service. This has been some
what less the rule in recent years;
but there is still altogether too much
Of it, as the McAdoo report shows.
Not only in initial cost but in up
keep and in the expense Of service,
can great economies be effected by
applying plain horse sense to the
public building program.

SOUTHWEST WANTS
MORE FAIRGROUNDS
Citizens Association Wants
Congress to Grant 1t a
Hearing on Question.

More Fairgrounds for. the southwest
section of the city were demanded at
a meeting of the Southwest Washing
ton Citizens Association last night,
and a resolution was adopted asking
that the District committees in the
House and Senate give the executive
committee of the association an oppor-
tunity to be heard in the matter.
b. +. Lindas, president, spoke at
length on the necessity of some action
looking to the establishment of a large
section of the city. At present only the
restricted Fairgrounds of a few schools
are available. and they are poorly
equipped. The estimates recently sub
mitted to Congress by the Commission
ers, said Mr.. Lindas. make no provision
for remedying this condition.
The association agreed to ask the
District Commissioners to repave Sew
enth street from Pennsylvania avenue
to the wharf This is the only through
street from the business section of the
northwest quarter of the city to the
southwest, It was pointed out, and it is
in bad condition.
A resolution was also passed calling
attention to the fact that there has
been no increase In the number of po-
lice assigned to the southwest section in
ten years, though the population has
increased RAPIDLY. 1t was agreed that
al the next meeting of the association
the matter of uniting with the Fedora
tion Of Citizens Association would be
taken IN.

PORK IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS

Secretary McAdoo has .done a
useful service in analyzing the pub
lie building appropriations and en-
tering protest against the high per-
centage of pork in them. There has
always been room for discussion
about the necessity for many of the
items in river and harbor bills; a
given improvement might be useful
or might be waste of money; some
times the determination has been
impossible until long after the ex-
peRditure was made.
But in the matter of public build
ings it has been possible to be more
certain. Buildings i'll adapted ia
their purpose, expensive to admin
ister, have been erected on sites
vastly too expansive for Legitimate
needs. In small towns buildings
have been wsstefully big and pre-
tentious; in cities they have besE

SCIENCE FOR THE CANAL

The appointment of a board or
commission of scientists, especially
geologists, to study conditions in the
Gaillard cut on the Panama canal, is
move perfectly proper now, but
that should have been made long
ago. President Wilson has taken a
step for which the need was plainly
pointed repeatedly during the last
Administration. There was scien-
tlfic and engineering opinion, in
such volume and of such character
as to make it more than merely re-
spectacle, to the effect that a wrong
policy was being pursued; that the
geologic formation was such that a
simple, straightaway cut would not
be safe. Now there is complete
proof that this view was correct. Ii
is serious reflection on the man
agement of the canal task that at
tention was not given earlier to the
warnings of men competent to sound
them.
Some recent advices from the Zone
have expressed opinion that it will
be several years before the canal
can be opened with any certainty Of
permanence. It might about as well
not be opened at all, for every time
there is resumption of traffic fol-
lowed by another suspension, conf
dence in the permanence and secur-
ity of the route is reduced. The
shipping world cannot take chances
will not take them many times.
