The Free Library In Sirbf

When both houses of Congress accept
the report of the conferees on the free
library bill-which they will probably do
today-the friends of the free library move
ment will have sufficient cause for con-
graduating the city of Washington upon
legislation which will. in the near future
give TO this community an institution of
Y hich it has long stood in need. By the
action Of the conference committee the
Serate recedes from its provision concern
ing estimates for maintaining the library
On the half and half basis and the House
recedes from its contention that the ex-
pense of the library shall be borne entirely
by the District taxpayers.
\ municipal library is created as a sup
plement of the public educational system
Of the District, to be temporarily located
In some place designated by the Commits
sioners ard to be permanently housed in
the proposed municipal building No ap-
preparation is made nor was one asked,
and no standard of future appropriations
is directly fixed. If the attempt Is to be
again made to discriminate against this
municipal and educational expenditure by
providing a peculiar, unjt st and Illegal
methcd of appropriatinS for 1t, the fight
upon this issue must be renewed next ses-
sion over the library item of the next Dis
trict appropriation bill. The action of the
COnfeTees in the matter is thoroughly sat
isfactory to the people of Washington, VINO
when the bill becomes a law will undoubt-
edly give warm expression to their apDre-
citation Of the Successful labors in behalf
CT this legislation by the Districts friends
In Congress.

At last Washington has a squad Of BIZ
cycle policemen. The Star has repeatedly
suggested such an organization and now
welcomes it to it's place as a needed local
institution. 1t is conservatively estimated
that there are in the District of Columbia
not less than forty thousand proprietors
and riders of bicycles, to say nothing of
the hundreds who hire wheels and enjoy
them evenings. 1t would be very remark
able if in all that host there were no reck-
less or foolish ones such as could only he
controlled by sharply-applied law. That
there are some of the hare-brained variety
must be admitted; they have convicted
themselves and are not to be defended. To
suppress this dangerous minority will be
the duty Of the bicycle squad and that the
members Of that squad will succeed is a
reasonable probability. Sergeant Daley has
conspicuously proven his efficiency as a
policeman and his assistants also have
good records. The great majority of wheel
men will respect the wheeling regulations
and may be depended upon to discourage
the scorching few; they will aid the cycling
squad If the officers display good judg-
H,ent in the matter of arrests and are care
full not to strain their authority for the
purpose of making an arrest record.

placed 1t and put her smaller crown upon
her head, holding 1t there while three of
the oldest ladies Of the court fastened 1t to
her hair with long pins"
1t Is reasonable to aver that no monarch
ever entertained an audience with so Won
derfuI an exhibition of dexterity. That the
Gear kept the scepter in one haad ard the
globe in the other while he was touching
his own crown to the czarina's head Is i'm
probable; that he did so while he was
browning his consort and holding the Ola
dem until 1t was pinned is impossible. He
must have juggled the emblem of power
and the jeweled orb with one hand-prob-
ably his right-while the remaining digits
were engaged in the crowning business 1t
is rather remarkable that none of the re-
porters has supplied the details which are
missing in the Davis story. But 1t seems
to be demons rated that the Car can earn
his living with circus If professional
czarism should suddenly cease to be profit
able.

Much has been written about the solemn
features OF the coronation of the Car of
Russia. but it was left for an American
reporter named Davis-Richard Harding
Davis seems to be the full cognomen-to
direct popular attention to the experiences
OF Nicholas II as a juggler. Mr. Davis
says. in his account of the ceremonies, that
The Car received the crown from the
Metropolitan and placed 1T on his own head
and took the globe and scepter IN either
hand In the head of the scepter was the
Orloff diamond, for which the Russian gov
eminent paid the Orloff family $1,000 900
and enno5led them. The Empress knelt be-
fore the Gar and he lifted his crown and
touched it for an instant to her head, re-
