The police authorities have. it is under
stood. come to the conclusion that the bicy-
clist who rides along our temptingly-snlooth
streets at an unreasonably rapid gait must
be discouraged and repressed. This con-
clusion has not been reached too soon.
For some time past The Star has been in
sisting-in the interest of the general pub
lie and an overwhelming majority of wheel
men-that something earnest and effective
be done to prevent the "sCOrching' which
has been an annoying and dangerous fea-
ture of daily life in Washington. 1t has
been announced that bicyclsts may not
lawfully ride across interesting streets at
a speed greater than eight miles per hour
and that coasting or riding hands off,
will not be permitted within the city. The
regula tons seem to be all right and, in con-
junction with the compulsory presence on
each wheel of lighted lamp after dark
and a bell all the time. they are all that
even the captious pedestrian may reason
ably ask for. But it does not appear how
the police propose to capture those 'scorch-
ers who decline to halt when they are
called upon to do SO by a guardian of the
peace. Respect for the law is probably
possessed by nine-tenthS of the wheel riders
in the District. but the percentage even of
the law-abiding, likely to pull up and to ac-
company a policeman to patrol-boX SIM
ply because the officer past whom they are
whiZZipg requests them to, is too small TO
be even termed infinitesimal. In New York
and Philadelphia this business of arresting
scOrChcrs is accomplished by policemen vino
are equipped with wheels and who can
when necessity arises, outscorch the
scOrchers. The same procedure will be
necessary mere before examples can be
made of those who conspicuously disregard
the rights of others to the use of the
streets.
The chief of police should see to it, though,
that his anti-scorCher crusade is not con-
fined entirely to those who ride bicycles.
Infinitely more dangerous, but fewer in
number. of course. are those brewery and
express wagons against the drivers of which
make a case. although every wide-awake
man. woman and child In the city knows
that those vehicles. and especially the
brewery wagons. are moved at rates of
speed far beyond the limit fixed by law
If the authorities are in earnest as to this
very proper work of reform, with which
they have belate1ly associated themselves,
active officers on hrst-class wheels and let
them do what they can--which ought to be
d great deal-tO make things uncomfortable
for those who threaten human life on the
streets. whether those who do the threat
enins be riders of bicycles or drivers of
vehicles

Quality. Not QunniitY.

Much progress has been made in the last
three months toward creating a sentiment
in favor of municipal control of public
works. OF, in other words, against the con-
tract system This Is largely due to the
persistence of representatives of the work
ingmen Of Washington. Reports were al
ready on file a the District building favor

the contract system as applied to the col
lection of garbage had always proved a
failure at the very time when the service
was OF mos. Importance to the comfort
and health of citizens. The District Com
m:ssioners have recently given thorough
consideration to the general subject and
their conclusions, as announced in The Star
last evening, must be gratifying to those
who favor the adjustment of the contract
system. They grant nearly all that has
been argued against that system and favor
municipal control not only of street sweep
ing and garbage collection and disposal,
but of other public work as well They
believe that the days work system under
municipal control may be advantageousIy

sewers, sidewalks and certain kinds of

They believe also that it would be to the

by days work" The very reason given for
possibly doing such work by contract sug-
geSts the whole argument in favor of NUM-
cipal control. The contract system affords
too much opportunity for fraud and
sCamped work. The days work plan has
been urged by workingmen's committees
because of the obvious benefits it would
confer upon resident workingmen but un-
doubtedly the whole community would be
the gamer from such system by getting
better service for the money expended.
There is little doubt that the Commission
ers conclusions will meet with public an

ttcally under the bondage of contractors

stand any strain: narrow channel and an
extensive expanse Of marshland rendered
II practically impossible for the old ship TO
wander away very far; the upper deck was
rooted over SO as to protect those who
might possibly not know enough to go be-
low if there was noticeable precipitation of
atmospheric humidity. 1t would have been
easy for Il man who had never heard of
geography and to whom navigation was a
insoluble mystery to command the Dale
and, with the help of the cables before re-
ferred to, keep that ancient specimen of
naval architecture within three minutes
walk of cable cars. But accurate geograp-
lcal information is necessary when the
cables are cast off or the anchor is weighed;
without it there must inevitably be navi-
Satory results surprising If not disastrous.
In yesterdays Star there was interesting
mention of the placing on waiting orders of
a naval captain who had never permitted
the Dale to stray five feet from the Navy
Yard wharf but who, when placed in COM
mand of the Lancaster and ordered to Bra
zil, was unheard of for fifty days after his
departure from this country and who then
turned up at the Island of Madeira. For
this remarkable departure from the route
usually followed by ships voyaging from
our Atlantic Coast to the South American
station the Navy Department has deprived
the captain of his command and now has
him ashore where. if he should chance to
get lost, he may be guided by the ordin-
arily- obliging policeman. Congress, of
course. has its hands full just now. but ii
may ind time to legislate out of existence
the staff and line rumpus which is damag-
ing the naval establishment very seriously,
The remedial statute for which so many
people are praying ought to have in it a
proviso that whenever the line officer in
command of a warship shall wander over
almost 10 the African coast in search of a
port known to be in Brazil he shall turn
over his command to the senior engineer
officer, who. no matter how persistently or
how earnestly he might try, could not do
very much worse.
