by the testimony Of witnesses who
four years ago refrained from making
an appearance. Documents in the
case missing for a long time have
been surrendered by the brother of
the decea sed prosecuting attorney of
1922 after an effort to sell them to a
metropolitan newspaper.
In the Ohio case an arrest has
finally been made on direct charge
Of participation in the murder OF Don
=. Mellett. editor of Canton news
paper. who was slain July is. The
accused Is described as an underworld
leader" OF Canton. Extraordinary eff
forts have been made to identify the
participants in this assa ssination
which was obviously inspired by Mel
let's persistent attacks upon the vice
and crime conditions in his city and
upon the laXness II not the corruption
Of the municipal police and the or
CARNATIONS. A special prosecutor has
been named by the governor with the
assistance OF State agencies not in
volved in the local intrigues and com
binations. 1t appears that the day
fter the killing man was taken
who Is regarded as the key of the
case. He has turned informer and has
named several people. including one
McDermott. for whom search has
been conducted for more than fort
night throughout the country. The
arrest of the underworld leader at
Canton is apparently due to the dis
closures of this witness.
Determination to run to earth the
slaNers of Mellett has been expressed
by the Ohio authorities. The State Is
really on trial in this case. Conditions
at Canton we're unquestionably bad
and Mellett attacked them. The mu
nicipaI government had become cor
rnpted to the point where vice and
crime reigned rather than law and
order. His crusade was unaided by the
public authorities. He challenged them
and was definitely warned that his
fight would lead to his death. He per-
sisted Notwithstanding this threat
Whether the ssa ssins were men hired
for the purpose or were those who
were themselves implicated in the
charges of graft and corruption which
Mellett had made Is of secondary i'm
portance Now that a specific charge
has been brought the truth may be
learned.

This situation of scarcity OF home
accommodation Is not peculiar to
Washington. but applies TO all grow

of building during the war and
through the two or three years follow

the United States was lacking LOCO, 900

years arrears of normal construction.
An economist of national reputa-
ton SAYS that in manufacturing. the
modern idea is that only by quantity
production"-an automobile per sec
ond, for example--can maximum econ

ing Of homes there has been practi-
celly no application of the principle
Of quantity production aside from
sash and door factories or ready

which Ia today at the base of the

Complete the Job!

! A Judge in the Traffic Court has
I suspended sentence on a seconded
Tense speeder because both arrests
were made in the outlying sections OF
| the District where traffic is light
| houses are few and far between and
| intersections are open and easily
visible. The Judge. by his logical and
, reasonable action. has earned the com
mendation Of all conscientious motor
lists.
Both Connecticut avenue and Massa-
chusetts avenue. where the arrests
were made. are stop streets for all
crossing traffic. Add to this fact the
physical conditions which allow for
increased speed with perfect safety
and 1t is hard to understand why
th.rty.mile speed limits have not al
ready been installed by the traftic
Office.
Traffic officials may as well face the
fact now that automobiles on certain
sections OF these highways exceed the
twenty -two-mile limit 1t is perfectly
safe 10 do So The present limit Ia I'M
reasonably slow for such streets. The
traf1ic of1ice has repeatedly announced
that az soon as adequate signs we're
erected the speed limit would be
raised. II has been more than year
since the first announcement OF this
kind was made. 1t is now time, re-
gardless OF whether the signs are ever
installed. to establish thirty-mile
limit in the outlying sections on all
stop highways.
The traffic office, II necessary,
should Law aside it's other work ana
complete the boulevard system that
was so hopefully entered into more
than a wear ago. 1t should hasten
the erection of signs in all parts OF the
CITY. but first of all 1t should remove
the ridiculous restriction on speed in
the suburban areas.
There ia no sense in making law
breaker out OF every motor1st who
trayerses these streets which are per-
fectly safe now for speed OF
thirty miles an hour and which will
he doubly safe when signs are erected
Nv all means complete this job before
other experiments in traffic are started
in the National Capital.
