VOLUNTEER BICYCLE POLICE

The offer of the District Division of the
League of American Wneeimcn to the Com
missioners TO furnish any desired number
of bicyciis,s TO act as special policemen in
enforcing the road law would seem to be
entitled to serious and favorable considera
ton. The fact that it is coupled with what
appears TO be a reasonable protest against
the discrimination shown by the ro.ioe
court judges in the imposition of fines upon
.'scorchers' and reckless drivers OF We
hicies, respectively, should lend it all tie
more weight. Regarding this complaint OF
the wheelmen, it must be admitted that
there is neither rhyme nor reason in filming
a beer-wagon driver or a hackman or the
driver ofa buggy from ST. to So for excessive
speed and putting fine of SO upon "A
''scorcher.' with a threat of quadrupling
it for the second offense. Driving too fast
is certainly as reprehensible as riding too
fast on a bicycle. and the injury liable to
result from the former il more serious than
that which could be inflicted by scorcher.
Both should be stopped and equal penalties
imposed upon both.
Concerning the suggestion that the Com
missoners appoint number of special
policemen, 10 he selected and vouched for
by the chief officials OF the District diviS-
ion of the L. A. W, it can bc said that
ii commends itself to good judgment Wheel
| men are as much interested in tie strict
| enforcement of the road law as anybody:
indeed, IL anything. they have more at
stake than the general public, for uron
them as 4 body falls the onus of an in
fraction of the rules. Little doubt need
be entertained, therefore, that they would
be Jealous in tie discharge of the duties
thus voluntarily assumed, and they would
render tie District an important service,
all the more acceptable, because performed
free of expense to the taxpayers.
1t is to be assumed that the Commits.
sioners have taken Il favorable view of
both protest and offer, for they have
agreed 10 a conference with representa-
| tive L. A. W. men, having already stated
that the police will be glad to have the
| cooperation OF the wheelmen In order

INJuDIcIoUs LANGUAGE.

Considerable latitude has always been
given lawyers practicing In the police court
as TO the Introduction and manipulation OF
testimony and also in the way OF argu-
ment. In consequence of this some OF them
step beyond the line of reason and pr,
are in a measure disrespcctfuI to the court
and calculated to give the rough and law
lessly inclined element false ideas OF
their rights.
OF this character was the remark a day
or TWO ago of the attorney that his client
liad the right to kill a policeman who had
entered her house without warrantofiaw.
His words drew from the court a reprimand
as severe as 1T was deserved which should
serve as check upon all practitioners
who in an excess OF zeal Tor the interests
of their client may be tempted TO use
similar language. The oath which lawyer
takes upon his admission to the bar i'm
poses upon him two-foId duty. He is
bound by IL not only to serve his client
honestly and honorably, but also to uphold
the dignity and majesty OF the law, and,
because of his superior knowledge OF the
latter. to do and say nothing that can be
construed as encouraging violat ion
of the same.
The old English maxim that mans home
is his castle is not to be interpreted to
mean that lawlcss resistance, much less
vicious attacks upon policemen or other
peace officers, is permissible. II such
were the case it would give rise to out
breaks OF violence that cannot be justi-
fled under any circumstances.
1t is fortunate that Judge Miller spoke
sharply. In some places a lawyers dec
laration that his client was justified In
killing an officer would have caused him
to be punished for contempt of court, II
not TO be disbarred from practice.

BY BALLOON TO THE POLE.

At the present moment Prof. Andree, the
intrepid Swedish explorer, may tc float
ing among the clouds in the arctic lati-
tudes, bound with his airship to the North
Pole. From the point where he will leave
the ship conveying him and his companions
to the farthest practicable point in the
dred miles from the pole, and he calcu-
lates to be able TO reach his goal N few
days, unless he Is repulsed by adverse air
currents. Andree claims that his is the
only rational method by which to get to
that mysterious spot in the attempt to
attain which SO many noble lives have al
ready been sacrificed. He contends that
only by aerial exploration will it be pcssi-
bic to obtain an accurate knowledge OF
the topography of these regions of eternal
ice and snow, and that it is the only
method to achieve the desired end without
too great hardships.
; The novelty and daring of the enterprise
and the apprehension, lest by some un-
toward event the airship may become dis
abled and the bold explorers come to
grief like SO many before them, will
cause the whole civilized world to await
with almost painful anxiety the first
reliable news OF ftheexpedition. If Andree
succeeds, great will be his fame. Should
he fail, no relief party will be able to
reach him and history will only have to
record another sacrifice of valuable human
lives on the pitiless barrier which Nature
has drawn around the confines of ever
lasting Winter.
