Two Important D. C. Bills.

The safety-responsibility bill for
automobile drivers, requiring those
who have been convicted of certain
traffic violations to secure liability
insurance before regaining their per-
mits, has passed the House and IS
pending in the Senate. Another i'm
portant local measure-the bill giving
the Commissioners and others who
buy land for public use the right of
excessive, or incidental, condemna-
tion-has passed the Senate and is
awaiting action by the House District
Committee. 1t would be well if both
of these measures could be enacted at
this session of Congress
The safety-responsibility bill aims
at the evil of reckless and irrespon-
sible driving. 1t has received wide
support and those who have watched
the effect of similar measures in the
States claim that it successfully elimi-
mates some of the causes of reckless
driving through its emphasis on
financial responsibility. The growing
number of traffic casualties, here and
elsewhere, is, of course, a great argu-
ment in favor of its passage.
The excess condemnation measure
has won the support of the Commis-
sioners and Of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission and It
was drawn with the helpful co-opera-
tion of Philip Nichols of Boston, one
of the country's leading authorities
on the law Of eminent domain. In
its favorable report on the bill the
Senate Committee pointed out that its
passage would make possible and
profitable the opening of old streets,
the destruction of insanitary buildings
and the opening of small parks and
Fairgrounds. Frederic A. Delano
wrote that the bill would in many
cases be to the best interest both Of
the agencies acquiring the land and
the owner of the land" Its passage
now would be particularly helpful in
connection with the experiments about
to be undertaken here under the alley
elimination law. Briefly, it permits
condemnation of land over; and above
the amount actually needed for a
specific undertaking, permitting the
authorities to dispose Of or develop
the excess acquired. Such condemna-
ton would be helpful in providing
suitable surroundings for schools or
Fairgrounds. and would prevent the
creation of small, unsightly sections
of property OF no use and therefore
total loss to the owner and of no
available use to the agencies which
condemned the adjoining property.
There seems to be no opposition to
the bill save for some original doubt
as to its constitutionality, and this
apparently has been removed in
drafting the present measure.

Not a Good Suggestion.

The street car company's proposal
to run tracks across the Taft Bridge,
with overhead trolleys, has little to
commend it. On the other hand,
there are obvious objections certain
to defeat the plan. In the first place,
neither the Fine Arts Commission nor
anybody else is likely to authorize de-
facement of the Taft Bridge by over
head trolley wires under any condi-
tions, and less apt to authorize it
when the new Calvert Street Bridge,
about to be erected at considerable
expense, provides for underground
trolleys. In the second place. Taft
Bridge is now crowded with automo-
bile traffic. It Is difficult to see any

Where Is Dillinger?

AS one after another of the men,
bers of the so-called Dillinger gang
is caught and, as in recent case,
killed in capture, the question which
the country is constantly asking is,
Where is Dillinger?" There is prob
ably more general interest in that
matter than in any of the develop
ments of the new deal or the comph
cations of foreign affairs. For Dillinger
is a symbol of the anti-social spirit
that is now rife in this land and he
is recognized as a dangerous public
enemy. The other day one of his
mates was caught in police trap and
mortally wounded. Just before he
died he muttered II hid him" That
has been interpreted as meaning that
he had secluded his former chief, per-
haps in a wounded condition. Posi-
bly,, however, it was just meaning
less mouthing. 1t Is known that Dill
finger was wounded in one Of the re-
cent encounters from which he fed
Two persons have been arrested and
convicted of the charge of giving him
aid and thereby helping him to escape,
one physician, who treated him for
his wounds. Thus 1t Is known that
he was to some extent disabled, which
doubtless accounts for his recent lack
of activity in further criminal ex-
ploits. Some think that he has died
of his wounds. Others that he is
nursing them, perhaps with secret
assistance, in some hiding place, may
be in one Of the cities of the area
of his activity, possibly in some Sc
cluded part of the country. But
wherever he Is, and whatever his
condition, Dillinger is menace,
greatly dreaoed by the public and
greatly desired by the police, both
Federal and State.
Ultimately Dillinger will be found,
perhaps dead, possibly taken alive in a
trap. That is fairly certain. For
these marauders, with very rare ex-
ceptions, do not forever elude the law
If physically able, they must continue
their thieving in order to obtain
means of sustenance, short of receiv-
ing aid from associates, whose atten-
tions, however secretly extended, are
likely to lead the police to the hiding
places. Moreover, it is the instinct
of the outlaw of the Dillinger type
the field Of his telection. He has

The Saar Plebiscite.

Self determination, that shibboleth
that obtained World War renown
through Woodrow wilson's blessing, is
to have another test early next year.
January 13. 1885, has just been fixed
by the League of Nations as the date
for the plebiscite to decide the future
of the Saar basin-whether it is to
revert to Germany, become part of
France or remain under jurisdiction of
the League.
Nazi Germany Is SO passionately in
tent upon recovering the Saar that the
territory's acquisition by the French
would bode no good for European
peace. Apart from the sentimental
aspect of the situation, the rich coal
deposits of the basin are a prize both
countries are yearning to win. Since
the treaty Of Versailles France has
had the exclusive right to exploit the
mines as compensation for destruction
of collieries in northern France dur
ing the German invasion.
Both France and Germany have
made pious pledges to conduct the
plebiscite with scrupulous fairness, but
1t remains to be seen with how much
fidelity this agreement will be hon.
ored. There have already been clashes
between overheated Nazis and Saar
"autonomists. and charges of undue
influence and propaganda by both
Germans and French are incessant.
A League supreme plebiscite tribu-
nal with eight divisions will sit for
full year after the January ballot
ing, to pass judgment on cases of
intimidation of voters or reprisals
against them. Germany and France
agree to arbitrate all plebiscite dis
puteS at the World Court.
The Saar basin, with only 573
square miles of area. is less than halt
the size of Rhode Island 1t contains
population of something under 9OO,-
900. Upon this tiny section of the
ancient Rhineland seven months
hence the eyes Of the world will be
anxiously riveted. 1t is to be hoped
that in the meantime the long-pro-
jected Franco-German rapprochement
will have been achieved and that it
will prove capable of withstanding the
shock Of the plebiscite result.

B. Kirk came down from Nome, and with MT. VanderLeest bought out MT. Mauro's interest in the concern. Previously, in 1912, MT. Mauro and MT. Guffey had bought out MT. Butler, and this series of transactions placed the business in the ownership of MT. Kirk, MT. Guffey and MT. VanderLeest. This combination remained in control for nearly Is years, until July of 1883, to be exact, when MT VanderLeest bought the holdings of MT. Kirk and Mir Guffey, the latter having died in March, 1883.

NEPTUNE MAKES
 ARCTIC CIRCLE. VISIT TO SHIP
Steamer Victoria Stops Tn Juneau Southbound from
 Month at Sea

Tn the course of the Arctic Cruise of the Victoria, which touched here southbound Saturday vevening, and which is nearing the end of more than a month at ssea, passengers were treated to the annual event of a visit from Neptune when the ship crossed the Arctic Circle.
 Neptune, in the person of w.. c. Hubbard, Chief Steward of the Victoria, arose from the sea, at tired in purple togs, with jewell encrusted gold crown on his head, and held court on the deck. After an appropriate ceremony, members of the Arctic Adventurers' Club aboard the ship were admitted to Neptune's realm.
 UnuGual Place
 Although the ceremony is reg ular occurrence aboard ships cross ing the Equator, this is believed to have been the first time that 1t has been solemnized on passenger ship crossing the Arctic Circle. . Many places of unusual interest were visited in the course of the , l)rg cruise, which was under the direction of Kenneth A. Cross.
 At St. Paul Island, passengers had the privilege of viewing the seal rookeries, and were taken through the village to the Greek Orthodox Church. At Akutan, they witnessed the bringing in and cut ting up of two sulphur-bottom whales. They visited the United / States submarines at Dutch liar bor. and were conducted through them by the courtesy of the Naval officers.
 Visit Many Places
 In Nome, they were entertained by citizens of the town, taken to the gold dredges in operation nearby, and to the King Island Eskimo Village, where they saw native sports such as blanket toss ing, kayak racing and kayak tip ping.
 The old Russian blockhouses and the church at St. Michael Island were productive of much interest on the part of the tourists. Kot- zebue Eskimos gave an impromptu exhibition of native dances, and their baseball team administered a beating to the ships team by a score of 2 to l.
 Reaching the ice pack was one of the particularly high points of the cruise, this being the first time that a passenger cruise ship

GENERAL JOHNSON QUITS

To those who have observed the trend
OF NRA affairs, the recent resignation of
General Hugh S. Johnson as administrator
was not surprising. For many months dis
sension among officials of the organiza-
ton. and between it and other government
departments, has been increasing, and for
some time it has been evident that the
breaking point would soon be reached.
There is no denying that General
Johnson has worked hard to make the
NRA success. although his arrogance and
arbitrary methods have at times an
tagonized many whose full cooperation
was essential to the achievement of its OBJ
jectives.
In the minds of many, Johnson's with
drawal means that the NRA, as the coun-
try has known it since its inception, is in
state of collapse. For Johnson was the
NRA.
The present situation is probably cor
reetly described by the eminent journalist,
Frank R. Kent. writing in the Baltimore
Sun, one of the country's leading in
dependent Democratic newspapers, who
says:
''The truth about NRA is that it is too
sick to be cured. But the New Deal high
command would rather die than admit
this. Ballyhooed to unmanageable pro-
portions. it began to collapse six months
ago, and is today in a very bad mess
Failed of its detectives. with its personnel
shot to pieces; its more important men
anxious to get from under, its policies lost
in the shuttle. its prestige gone. and its or
ganization in state of confusion. it ap-
pears a wreck

POLITICAL WIDOWS

Some discussion has been going on re-
garding the growing tendency of widows
of public officials who die in office to as
pire to the places thus made vacant 1t
might seem unchivalrous to deery the
practice, but there is no doubt that the
election or appointment of women to Off
cial positions under such circumstances has
often been detrimental to the public serv-
ice.
On the other hand, it is also true that
some of the women thus selected have per-
formed their official duties aceeptably.
But, taken as a general proposition,
there is much to be said against a can
didacy for office based upon sentiment
alone. If the woman aspirant is really
qualified in her own right, there is no
reason why she should be Disseminated
against. If she is not so qualified, she
should not have the place sought
1t is doubtful that any of those who
have been elected or appointed to high
office to succeed their husbands would
have been chosen on the strength of ability
alone. In practically all cases sentiment
has dictated their selection
In some instances women have been
elevated to offices from which their hus-
bands had been removed through impeach-
ment, or conviction for crime. In such
cases the wife usually has been merely the
instrument through which the discredited
husband has continued to exert his former
nfXVar and Influence
AT best the selection of capable and
honest officials is difficult enough. The
difficulty should not be increased through
appeals to sentiment in behalf of candi-
dates of either sex who are untitled for the
offices they seek.
