"Back.Seat" Permits.

James Rooney of Newark. N. j.. Is
unable to read and consequently must
believe what his friends tell him
James, in some way or other. got hold
of an ancient automobile and was not
at all concerned about getting an op-
orators permit because he did not know
that he had to have one. His friends
however. we're quick to put him right
on the matter and gave him an i'm
tensivc examination on traffic. For
three dollars they then sold him a
"back-seat" drivers license, signed by
"Uworry EN-. Commissioner OF By
ways" James. glad that he was all
square with the law. drove for year
on his precious permit. Everything was
serene until policeman stopped him
for a traffic violation. and. rude man
that he was, refused to honor Jimmie s
license.
This little story demonstrates the
ridiculous condition of the motor laws
of the various States. When man
who can neither read nor write is able
to buy an automobile. take it out on the
streets, and menace the lives of thou-
sands of people daily. 1t Is assuredly
time to call halt. OF course. the
police had nothing to do with this case
until the man was arrested for traffic
violation. bat the fact that he was per-
mitted to buy a car and could escape
registration shows that something Is
vitality wrong with motor regulations
The man in this case is unquestionably
too ignorant to operate an automobile
and If there is no present means OF
check-up for persons Of his type i'm
portance is added to the cause OF ma.
tion-wide compulsory insurance, because
by that law nothing of the kind could
happen

Buy Tags Now.

Beginning tomorrow morning only
three days remain for more than fifteen
thousand motorists to obtain their 1928
tags. and II appears very much as If
several thousand of these drivers will
Join automatically the pedestrian cate
CORY for a short time after the New
Year. The Commissioners hare an
nounced that extension Of the time
limit for buying tags is a thing Of the
past. and that no automobile may be
operated on 1927 licenses after Janu-
airy !.
There Is no reason to believe that
there will be any modification OF the
Commissioners edict. When the New
Year arrives motorists will have had
more than a month 10 buy tags and a
full month 70 attach them 10 their cars.

The Judicial Vacancy.

Washington hopes and expects that
in the selection of a successor to Asso-
ciate Justice Hoehling. whose resigna-
ton from the District Supreme Court
takes effect at the end of the month.
the Attorney General in his recon-
mendation and the President in his az
pointment Will he guided by the prirci-
pies that have generally obtained in the
organization Of this branch OF the
judiciary. The court discharges botn
Federal and local functions. 1t is the
highest trial court Of the District. and
at the same time serves as a Circui.
Court for the United States of this
jurisdiction. The bench is composed of
six justices. three of whom at present,
including Justice Hoehling. are local
men, named from the District bar,
while the other three have been ap-
pointed from outside of Washington.
This even division Of personnel con-
forms to the logic Of the situation.
Apart, however. from a mere mathe-
NAUTICAL consideration. there is urgent
reason for maintaining the ratio Of
parity in the fact that peculiar procc-
durc prevails in the District courts diff
ferent from that obtaining elsewhere
and it is desirable that the members Of
the bench should as far as possible be
familiar with that procedure. This IA
miliaritv comes from actual participa-
ton in the work of the court as men,
bers of the bar.
There is no lack Of eminently capable
members Of the local bar, who are quail
flied for this position and responsible
ity. Several names have been pro-
posed. with strong Endorsements, for
consideration. 1t is. however. desirable
that the Districts nomination for the
vacant judgeship should be made in
terms that admit Of no question of the
preference of the bar and of the COM
munity generally. A division OF senti-
ment on this question might be harm
fu. to the cause of equal District rep
resentation on the bench. The local
bar. the recommendations Of which in
this connection have heretofore had
great weight, and from the ranks Of
which the appointee. If local man
must come. should concentrate upon
one name, to the end that there may
be no reason for the administration tc
look beyond the boundaries Of the Dis
trict for an appointment.
While in the past some Of the strong
est and most valuable members of the
local bench have been appointed from
the States. the District has always with
justice claimed the right Of equal repre-
sentation in the court that sits in judy
ment upon its own affairs, that applies
its laws and that discharges the duty
of guardian OF its welfare. When a
vacancy. occurs through the resignation
or death OF one OF those who have been
named from outside, it does not ask that
1t be filled With a local man. 1t does,
however, ask now. as In the past, that
a vacancy in the local personnel Of the
court be filled from the same source al
that from which the retiring justice
came.

A Notable Educational Gift.

The gift of one million dollars to an
educational institution is notable con-
tribution to the cause of public instruc-
ton. Such gift. made for the pur-
pose of endowlng a school Of govern
ment, has special significance. But
that significance is increased when the
gift is made to an institution estab-
lished in the District Of Columbia. the
seat of Government of the United
States and ii is a matter of great pride
TO the people of Washington that
George Washington University should
now have been made the beneficiary of
such a nunificent action, which marks
a record of hberality in educational
gifts here.
The Supreme Council Of Scottish Rite
Masons of the Southern jurisdiction pre-
sents this large sum to George WASH
ington University as memorial to the
first President. in effect to replace the
endowment which he personally made
for the purpose of maintaining ma
tional institution of education in all
branches Of polite literature, in arts
and sciences. and in acquiring knowl-
edge in the principles Of politics and
government" II is fitting that this
fund be bestowed upon the institution
which bears the name of George Wash
ington and which. as set forth in the
resolutions of the Supreme Council,
meets the requirements in its resource:
and its intellectual forces TO provide
suitable courses for the training of the
youth of the land.
George Washington University has
developed to its present high standing
among the educational institutions of
the country with only small endow-
ment. It has q remarkably large STU
dent body. numbering more than
5000. and TO an exceptional degree it
meets its costs of maintenance out Of
tuition fees. It is more nearly self-sus-
tanning than any other large institution
Of learning In the United States. It
has, however, been checked in its
growth somewhat by the lack Of liberal
financial foundation. This present gift,
the greatest in the history Of educa-
ton in the District, will not only in
very material measure supply this de-
ficiency, but viii serve as an inspira-
ton and an example to Others individ-
uals and organizations. TO add to the
fiscal establishment. without which a
great school cannot grow and meet its
full requirements.
Credit is to be given 10 President
Marvin of George Washington in large
degree for the selection Of that uni
versity as the beneficiary Of this
liberal gift. He has held his
position at the head Of the institution
for less than four months. and in that
time has demonstrated high degree Of
administrative ability and. as this pres
ent good fortune proves, Of creative ca
pacity in the obtaining OF financial aid
for the establishment over which ne
has been chosen 70 preside.
George washington's ideal Of a school
located al the Capital Of the Nation
for the proper guidance Of the young
Americans In the principles underiy-
In the republic is by this generous gift
about 70 be realized. II viii exercise
an important influence In the main
tenance Of sound foundations OF citi-
zensnip.
