tion In Their Areas

Appointment Of a constable at q

papers Of the Montgomery County

ers.

Justices Will Try
Traffic Cases For
Novelty Since II
Change Is Based On Recent
Decision OF Court
OF Appeals

Beginning this week, justices Of
the peace in Montgomery County
will be authorized to try traffic cases
for the first time since 1912 whem
the, county police court was estab-
ished.
States Attorney James Pugh said
he had informed the 10 justices az
the redelegated powers. Both State
and county police have been ordered
to take traffic offenders before the
justice nearest the scene Of the
violation. Since 1912 justices have
served merely as committing magis-
trates, except in small civil cases.
The new system still leaves the
police court with power to try minor
cases, both civil and criminal.
Pugh's order returning the power
to try traffic cases to Justices was
based on decision of the Maryland
Court Of Appeals, which invalidated
parts of the Prince Georges County
Police Court and thus endangered
the local set-up.
The justices of the peace for Mont
gomery County are: Thomas IN.
Anderson, Harold C. Smith, Charles
w. Stang and Charles M. Webb, OF
Rockville; Herman C. Heffner, OF
Taltoma Park; Edwin D. Burdette,
Hyattstown; Jesse d. Briggs and
Albert N. Dorsey, of Gaithersburg;
Evan &c. Condor, of Bethesda; Am
brose B. Jennings and Samuel Riggs

G. Shirley, of Virginia, thinks human
reactions are too slow to permit safe
auto driving speed of over rs miles
per hour. Many others viii agree that
that speed is the very maximum and
that auto manufacturers should limit
the mechanical gearing of all automo-
biles. No one but police officers should
be permitted to own car going faster
than rs miles an hour. The manufac-
turers are the only agents who can

dren in the Charlotte schools. The exceptional
child has been utterly ignored in our educational
Setup. There are hundreds of them in the state
who can master the II grades by the time they
are II or 13 years Old The rule has been to let
them loaf along with the mine to allow
them to skip a few grades Either plan was a
great injustice to the child If allowed to loaf for
IL years the habit of loafing becomes part of the
childs very nature. If allowed to skip some grades
the child is forced to associate with a group who
both physically and socially older 1t is a
stark tragedy TO take a child out of its natural
group and force it to associate with an unnatural
group. 1t is dead easy for some children to finish
the II grades by the time they are 13 out 13-
yearold in college is cruelty. Miss Johnston is en-
tering field that is white unto the harvest. She
direct the active minds of her bright boys and
girls into useful channels and at the time
allow them to grow up with their physical and
social group. We hail Miss JohnStonS going to

Consistency, Thou Art
At the height of the Supreme
Court battle, Senator Borah and
Chairman Hatton Summers OF the
House Judiciary Committee made
strenuous undercover efforts to
persuade Justices Van Devan:er
and Sutherland to take advant-
age of a newly enacted law and
retire on full pay.
Van Devanter finally accepted
their suggestion, and his action
drove the final nail in the coffin
of the Presidents six-judge bill.
Two hours after he announced
his retirement, the Senate Judi
ciary Committee voted 10 to 7
against the measure.
Due to this, in part, the Sup
rene Court bill was killed.
Two months elapsed. Suddenly
Borah, the man who urged Van
Devanter to resign, startled his
colleagues with the declaration
that the President could not ap-
point a successor because no va
Cancy existed.
His involved legalistic argu-
ment was that Van Devanter had
not resigned but had retired, and
that therefore, as there was moth
ing IN the Constitution about a
Justice retiring, the act under
which he did so was unconstitu-
tional and Van Dcvanter still was
a member of the Court.
Senator Minton of Indiana,
lis, ening to Borah's diSputation
remarked:
