We Are Governed Too Much.

The officers of the Illinois Humane So
ciety have succeeded in having a law pass
ed prohibiting bicyclists from CARRYING
children on their wheels under pain of
fine and other punishment. The ground
upon which these mistaken enthusiasts
who have done we'll along other lines
based their action was not so much the
danger to which a child might be exposed
because of collision or other accident but
because the rapid movement of the bicycle
affected the tender Juvenile brain In an
Injurious way. The next step will, in all
probability, be to secure the adoption of a
sister measure providing that children shall
not be allowed to ride in baby carriages
because the jolting of the vehicles will IN
juriously affect their respiratory organs
Somebody will soon be moved TO suggest
that sensible Americans organize an anti
meddlesome legislation association for the
purpose of enabling the people TO exercise
their Individual Judgment in respect to
one or two things concerning which their
discretion has not already been limited by
law.

Give the People n Chance,

Just why the District Commissioners
should consult with the street-railroad COM
panies as to whether street-cars should be
stopped on the near side or the far side of
street crossings is one OF those things not
easily to be understood. 1t surely cannot be
a matter of very much concern to the COM
panies where their cars stop to take I'D or
let OH paSsengers-there VIII be lust "a
many fare-payers no matter what NAV he
the rule as to places of stoppaga-but the
pubic IS very much concerned. 1t is the
pubic that provides the railroad comDanies
with the material out of which cases are
made Tor the coroner and the morgue and
the Emergency Hospital; 1t is the conyen-
fence Of the public and not of the corpora-
ton being patronized which should receive
premier consideration. The Star Is con-
vInced that popular preference is over
whelmingly favorable to stopping the street
cars on the near side of the crossings-such
stoppage Is infinitely less dangerous to all
manner of street traffic and Is lust as CON-
Venient to the passengers-and for that rea-
son it has advocated and will continue TO
advocate the stoppage plan now in use. to
which one railroad company, which has o.
posed the rule from the beginning. takes
present and renewed exception

Poles and Wires In the City.

Looked at from any standpoint, the
amendment offered to the District appro-
priation bill now pending in the Senate
giving authority to the District Commits
soners to grant permits for the erection of
poles outside of the city limits for the
stringing of telegraph wires, land for other
purposes" and providing, further that all
permits heretofore granted for this pur-
pose IN the same section shall be ratified, Is
miSchieyous in the extreme. The city
limits. according to the law, are marked
by Florida avenue, formerly Boundary
Street Everyone knows that Florida ave-
sense of marking the extent of Washing
ton. There are many square miles outside
of these so-called city limits that are al
most as thickly populated as is much of
the area inside, and the fact that these Sec
tons are included within the fire limits
shows that they deserve recognition by the
municipal authorities as practically part of
the city If telephone companies or cleo
trio light companies or telegraph COM
panies desire to erect poles beyond the fire
limits for the extension of their business
Congress might properly grant the Com
missioners authority for such specific pur
poses. But even such permits ought to he
issued with the proviso that they should be
reSclnded when, in the opinion of the
municipal authorities the growth of the
neighborhoods occupied by them have be-
come sufficient to make the poles chstruc-
lcns and the overhead wires dangerous.

Some of those who patronize the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Company
have become imbued with the mistaken
idea that the corporation to which they al
ready pay overmuch for telephone rental
is intent upon putting into operation
sliding scale that will only slide upward.
So far as any increase in the rates Is con-
cerned. telephone lessees may rest easy.
If the proposed graduated system was
compulsory it would undoubtedly be much
more expensive to large Users than the
present flat rates. But as announced
from the very beginning. 1t is not compul
sorry. 1t is merely the revival by the tele-
phone company of an cid suggestion of
means by which those who Use their tele-
phones infrequently may. at their own OPP
ton, reduce the cost to themselves. When
the situation is understood, there is not
likely to be-in fact there cannot reason
ably be-any objection to the supplemental
system, for it is entirely optional. The
company will continue to furnish unlimited
service al the present rates, or, if the sub
scriber so elects. will carry so many mes
sages for a stated sum. The company's
effort is. of course. a part of its campaign
10 prevent reduction of tie fiat rates; no
corporation whose representatives are pos
sessed of even a modicum of common sense
would endeavor, under such conditions as
here prevail in the telephone business. to
make even a feeble effort to increase
prices. The telep&one-uSing public will not,
however, be satisfied with the alternative
measured system an effective method
of cheapening rates. Its usefulness in this
direction will be very limited. What is
Teeded is a direct reduction of the pres
ent excessive rentals. This is demanded
~ the business and professional men of
the city, and sooner or later the company
will have to comply with the demand. Up
to this time. effort has mainly been con-
centrated to bring about lower rates for
the service furnished by the company
which now has a monopoly-sound argu-
ment showing conclusively that monop-
oily is almost an essential to the ideal tele-
phone system-but the local company seems
determined to make no concessions and to
drive the telephone-using public into the
support of some competing company.

There is direct and real local interest in
Senator Cannon's proposition to establish
In the immediate vicinity of the national
capital great ground-rap of the United
States. When the proposition was first
made it was not thoroughly understood
and as a consequence there was no display
of public enthusiasm. Now, however, the
idea seems to be fully comprehended and
it has large number of thoroughly earn
est supporters who can see how much Of
educational value will be found in the
map when 1t Is completed and has become
one of the permanent features Of the seat
of government. Elsewhere in today's Star
there appears an article in which the ma
ture Of the plan Is fully explained. A suit
able site for this gigantic map Is easily
within reach. The upper portion Of the
reclaimed Potomac flats will have to be
improved at some time In the near future;
1t Is reasonable proposition, and one
which should appeal to the economists of
Congress as Well as to those who view the
matter from more sentimental stand
point, to accomplish this improvement by
locating the cOuntry's miniature there A
more attractive or interesting improve
ment than this could not easily be devised :
there Is something well-nigh Irresistible in
the union of novelty, patriotism and BUSH
ness enterprise thus made possible. The
many and weighty reasons for the con-
structfon of such a map are we'll set forth
in other columns by the author Of the pro-
ject. The Senate has already given its
unanimous and ready approval of the idea
of creating commission empowered to at
tend to the preliminaries. 1t is not at all
likely that the House of Representatives
will be averse to the Cannon propostion

Mankind loves lover, we've oft hear

Mankind loves a lover, we've oft heard it
said,
And now. when the skies are so friendly
and clear;
When the sheltering trees weave their
branches o'erhead.
And great pulsing Nature holds every
thing dear,
Earth's rose-laden bounty seems never to
tire.
In a season when only to live is a boon.
No joy seems too much for the heart to
desire.
For the world is in love and his sweet
heart is June.
The garlanded forests are whispering soft.
The meadows rich tapestries CLEAN once
again.
The bird hurls his heart into music aIoft
And the prodigal flowers are seeming the
plain.
All. fain would We Inger as guests at the

Meath the radiant spell Of a fair honev-
moon!
All the low, bitter strain in life's chorus
has ceased.
For the world Is in love and his sweet

Moving Onward and Upward.

Those people who have persistently and
thoughtlessly insisted that a satisfactory
hying-machine must always. be among the
impossibilities have been remarkably silent
stree the authorized publications as to the
latest experiments made by Prof. 9. P.
Langley Of the Smithsonian Institution.
Those publications have made plain the
fact that aerial navigation is possible even
when the ship Is many times heavier than
the atmosphere which it displaces. 1t now
seems unquestionable that Prof. Langley
has discovered the principles by which
speedy and easily controlled movement may
be made by man in that territory which has
heretofore belonged only to the birds and
to a few aeronauts who for nearly two
hundred years have been experimenting
with balloons without accomplishing very
much. There is really no reason why any
ore should be astonished at the successful
experiments conducted by Prof. Langley.
Tonight at the electrical exhibition in New
York, a message of two hundred and fifty
words will be sent completely around the
globe over $500 miles of wire; the two ends
of the wire being in the hall where the ex-
hibition is held. In view of the fact that
such a wonderful feat can be accomplished
in a remarkably brief space of time-the
double circuit in less than two hours
there is little room for establishment in an
announcement that within few years air
travel is likely to be a popular method of
transportation. Telephone conversatio
between Washington and New York is a
common hourly occurrence and no one who
is abreast of the times seems to think it
in any way remarkable. Accus toned to
these marvels, the public may not easily be
disturbed by the announcement Of inven-
tons which until recently were regarded as
impossible. The nineteenth century has
witnessed the accomplishment Of many
wonderful felts. has seen the worlds men
tai caliber expand wonderfully. Before the
twentieth century shall have run one-fourth
of its race the giants of ingenuity will have
wrought such revolutions as are no more
than dreamed Of even at this day.

other officials In the diplomatic service Of
this government. One of these gentlemen.
on the contrary, has just refused to follow
his lead, and. in doing so confesses to a
respect for the opinions of his countrymen
as expressed through their Congress. And
yet Minister Terrell could with some pro-
priety have replied to the questions that
were put to him. 1t was not matter of
volunteering opinions OF his own, or of i'm
proving an opportunity to attack anybody,
but merely of answering attacks on himself
as minister to Turkey. He decided, how
ever, to hold his peace, upon the ground
that the people of the United States evil
IDENTIFY did not desire that their diplomatic
servants should enter into public discus
sior S.
Mr.. Terrell Is on very safe ground. The
pee pie of the United States do not desire
their diplomatic servants to travel outside
of their legitimate functions. Diplomacy Is
a confidential sort of business. A mans
uses for such work in the older countries
when diplomacy is profession are gagged
by his capacity for silence and discretion.
He is expected to be alert, to receive orders,
to execute them, and to report home. That
comprehe nds his whole duty. His work,
when completed, must justify itself. He
should never become lecturer, or a prize
srouter, or suffer himself to be made a
drawing card at cattle shows or miscel-
lar eous public feeds. That is something
very different from diplomacy, and calls for
men of any other but the diplomatic stamp.
Upon his return to Constartinople Mr..
Terrell will profit by the fruits of his dis
Greet bearing while at home. His reputa-
ton for sagacity has been advanced.
Turkish officials will communicate with him
with all the more freedom and confidence
for observing that he attends to diplomatic
business in diplomatic way. If he could
