Rules to Be Enforced.

The suggestion made the other day
by The Star for a concentrated en-.
forcement Of the rule against continu-
GUS parking in the congested district
has been favorably considered by the
Commissioners, and orders will be
shortly issued to that effect. The
proposition is to concentrate the
available force of policemen upon a
block or two at a time without notice,
OF course, as to the areas chosen
for this attention. BY this means it is
believed in a short time motorists who
have fallen into the habit of parking
their cars downtown all day in the
hope of escaping police attention will
be made to realize that the rule is in
effect. They will then probably seek
other parking spaces for their ma.
chimes if they persist in bringing them

Silver Dollars.

With tremendous store OF silver
dollars in its vaults the Treasury De-
partment is now endeavoring to re-
lieve, itself of some of the congestion,
and has taken steps to put these cart
wheels into circulation. On Friday
the pay envelope Of each Of 5000 EN-
ployes of that department contained
one Of these money tokens. II this can
be done with other Government de.
partments in a few months the silver
dollars will be circulating in Wash.
ington, at least, with a freedom that
has not been known for many years.
1t is estimated hiatt there are now
about 509.000,000 of these silver dol.
lars in the Treasury, 439,000,000 OF
which must. under the law, be held
there against silver certificates and
notes now outstanding, so there are in
theory approximately 100000 of
these money pieces that may be dis
pensed with, though the Treasury Of
ficiais believe that only about 10000.
600 could be safely put out for general
distribution.
The public in this city and other
cities of the East has come to prefer
paper money to silver coins, as being
more conveniently handled. In some
parts Of the country, however, hard
money" is favored. 1t will be interest.
ing to note whether Washington will
absorb a large number of these silver
pieces in its general circulation.
Should the prejudice against them be
too strong they may find their way
back to the Treasury in a short time
through the banks. Persistence by the
Treasury Department. however, es.
pecially If the scope Of the distribu.
tion is widened to include other de.
partments, is likely to overcome the
prejudice and to cause the retention in
circulation Of good many thousand
silver dollars.

Reparations Assured.

Definite agreement has been reached
between the French and Germans
upon the date for the ultimate with.
drawal of troops now in the Ruhr. BY
the 18th of August, 1925. all troops
will be removed from the regions not
covered by the treaty of Versailles.
This is the period that was demanded
by the French and resisted by the Ger.
mans in the preliminary negotiations.
Thus the German delegates at London
have yielded on the point that at one
time seemed to threaten failure Of the
reparation conference.
Thus it looks as though the repara.
tions plan would be definitely adopted
and put into effect with little delay

ments. Germany has, in short, as
much to gain from this adjustment as
her former enemies.
Now will come the question of par
liamentary approvals in France and
in Germany. Some opposition is to
be expected. 1t may become obstinate.
1t may menace the stability of the
present governments at Berlin and
Paris. But it is to be believed that
when the final test comes both the
Reichstag and the French Chambers
will put their marks of approval upon
the agreement, which is the best that
can be conceived. and which gives as
surance Of a final settlement Of ques-
tions that retard the rehabilitation Of
both countries.

Automobile Washers.

The chief of the woman's bureau
of the Police Department tells Of con.
ditions in the streets that require
treatment by the police. Her story
is direct and there is no doubt that
1t is accurate. 1t shows that a

condition develop as it may, the point
of immediate importance is to demon

congested area all-day parking is per-
sisted in to the inconvenience of
householders and the congestion of
other streets, 1t may be necessary to
extend the ''congested area" within
which all-day parking is not permitted.
The purpose of the Commissioners
in their handling of this problem
should be to discourage the use of the
streets Of this city for garage pur.
poses day and night. The principle
should be established that the streets
are not the proper place for the keep
ing of motors that are not in active
use for the transaction of business.
They are certainly not the proper
pace TOT sne keeping OF cars at night
in lieu Of garages.
The streets of this city, as all other
cities, are for the movement of traffic,
not for storage. They are for the
transaction of business, not for the
money-saving parking of private cars
that should be housed somewhere off
the streets. That is the only proper
basis for the regulation of parking.
1t must be assumed that those who
are taken in the net of the police for
keeping their cars on the streets over
time will be given penalties sufficient
to make them realize the vitality and
meaning of the rule. Only thereby will
the all-day parking habit be cured.

The Bureau of Standards hopes

ard for brakes all over the country
Some of the local police codes are
reasonable: some are rigorous and
some are lax. The Governments aim
would be to point out middle course
to which every driver could attain
with a little care. 1t would not be
difficult, the Bureau of Standards
finds, for a local traffic bureau to test
the brakes of any car when granting
a license to the driver. The driver of
a car that had defective brakes could
be required to put his brakes in good
condition before receiving his license.
The American Automobile Associa-
tion is taking an active interest in

A Law Unto Himself.

In symposium recently conducted
by the New York Independent on the
subject of prohibition and enforce
ment one respondent to the inquiry
boldly claimed that he buys prohibited
liquors, and that in many cases his
purchases have been from bootleggers.
whom he regards as honest tradesmen
that he is not stupid enough to think
all laws of equal obligation, and he
breaks mere police regulations when
he chooses, accepting punishment
without complaint if he gets caught
at it.
This respondent is described in the
report as counselor-atlaw. He makes
strange confession in his answer
for one who is sworn as an officer of
the court to sustain the Constitution
of the United States and to uphold
the laws of the land. A sliding-scale
view of the statutes may be forgiven
on the part of a private individual
on the ground of ignorance OF the
true meaning of law, but in the rep
resentative of the law itself such a
position is indeed extraordinary
This man AYERS that it is stupid to
think that all laws are of equal obli-
cation. He would doubtless not be
stupid enough to condone the act
of a burglar who enters his house
CT oa lot hi
cash and valued souvenirs. He would
probably not be stupid enough to for
give the housebreaker who kills a
member. of his family in making such
an entry. He would not stupidity grant
remission to a business associate who
stole his profits. The laws forbidding
burglary, murder and embeZzlement
are. from his point OF view. good laws
and should be enforced to the limit
and all violators of them punished
fully.
II it is stupid to regard all laws
of equal obligation, then one wonders
how civilization has managed to de-
velop on the basis Of law. II the law
abiding citizen who does not differen-
tiate for the sake OF his own comfort
and taste and appetite. but regards
all statutes as equally binding is stu
pid. then, indeed, is society sadly de-
ficient in mind and reasoning.
You are fool!' cries the one who
picks the laws he chooses to observe
to the man who considers law as alb
solute and not relative. You are stu
pid in that you resign your own per-
sonal judgment to the judgment of
legislators, statute makers and voters
who adopt amendments. Be an indi-
vidual. be your own judge of what
is law and what is not law. Be a man
and cut loose from the courts and
from law enforcement.'
This is the expression, in effect. of
one who is rated as counselor at law,
one who, as stated already, is a sworn
officer Of the court. 1t is most
extraordinary attitude. If it reflects
the average point of view of Ameri-
can citizens, then indeed is the ground
here in America fallow for the seeds
of communism and anarchism which
have sprouted into such a malevolent
growth lately in Russia.
