No Time to Delay.

W/ASHINGTON civic organizations propose a
w no-accident week next month. The idea is
inspired in small measure by the roller skating
menace on District streets. Attention will be de-
voted, of course, to other kinds of accidents but

only one to prevent accidents to roller skaters

authority is needed to do ths-the authority to re-
move nuisance and to protect the public
But it seems that nobody in authority is will

police say they do nothing except keep sharp
watch for obvious violations of the law. The Com
missioners have neglected to take firm stand in
the matter. IT, so far the powers that be are

Too An-Embracing Criticism.

THE HERALD is in position to question
i the ability or sincerity OF Charles Z. Dawes,
former Director OF the Budget. We believe that
he has rendered distinguished service to the coun-
try both soldier and as fnancer Neither
do we object to his occasional forceful language
There is nobody else disgusting as the man who
is afraid to say what he thinks without mincing
words.
But in address at dinner OF the New
York Budget Committee the other night Mr.. Dawes
gave way to popular tendency which has gained
unfortunate momentum during the past few wears
harsh criticism OF the personnel of Congress
Neither the House the Senate is perfect In
teror men hold seats in both bodies. But few
Representatives or Senators deserve to be called
pewees. cormorants and rats" We believe that
the Congress of the United States has in its mem
bership OF the ablcst statesmen in the world
We believe that the average Congressman is sim
cere and patriotic We believe that the mental and
moral character OF the members is very elevated,
indeed when compared with what it has been at
certain periods in the past. We believe that with
few possible exceptions. the American people
can well be proud of such distinguished representa-
tives.
Mr.. Dawes seems to believe that all the mo-
tives OF Congress petty and selfish Ho ex-
coriates those men who voted for the dead bonus
bill and seems to take it for granted that not one
OF them was influenced by other than ra-lkc po-
litiCal considerations. such fear OF the American
Legion 1t is not necessary to believe in the bonus
measure to exculpate most OF its hackers from
such charges. The majority OF thcm we think
voted as they did because they believed sincerely
in the causc-bccause they convinced that ad-
justed compensation OF kind should be paid
to the men who served in the late war. They may
have been mistaken but they were honest in their
convictions.
Men take quite solemn oath when they en-
ter Congress. Docs Mr.. Dawes think that they
consider this oath not binding upon them once
they have taken their seats? The voters of any
Congressional district not likely to send morons
to represent them in Washington very frequently.
A seat in the national legislative assembly is con-
sidered somewhat of honor. 1t usually is the
object Of keen rivalry. The people usually have
quite list to pick from They may not always
select the best man-but they not apt to choose
the worst.
We do not believe that Mr.. Dawes has a just
attitude towards Congress We fear that he has
taken too much hearsay. Members of both the
Senate and the House often lay themselves open
criticism-but question whether it would be
possible TO select another group of equal size who
would function any efficiently.
