The Street Users.

Everybody ought TO join the safety So
ciety. The fact of the matter is every
body is now potentially enrolled in this
organization, for il is to the interest of
all people that they should work to the
end of making the streets of Washington
safe for every class of user. No matter
whether pedestrian or motorist. driver or
cyclist il is 10 the selfish interest to have
the traffic rules observed and enforced.
Pedestrians particularly ought to study
their responsibilities and obligations are
in the street. To the extent that the Pc
destrians are we'll informed of the regu-
lations, they are protected from the posi-
bility of accident. Almost all drivers and
motorists and cyclists are law-observins
and try to follow the rules. But they
cannot insure against accidents if pedes-
trians are careless, if they start across
streets without looking to note the condi-
lions, if they dart in front OF moving We
hicles without knowing the situation be-
yond, IL they are too precipitate or too de
Iiberate in their crossings. At the same
time the careful pedestrian should be pro-
tected against the undue speed and care
lessness of the vehicle manager. Judging
from the daily roll of traffic cases in the
Police Court the process of education has
not yet been completed. Motorists and
drivers are still being arrested for violat

fifteen feet of car stopping to take on o.
discharge passengers. This is matter O

The Air Passage to Havana.

Though not a particularly long flight, as
measured by others that have been ac
complished. nevertheless the passage of
RoSillo. the Cuban aviator. from Key
West TO Havana this morning is note
worthy achievement. This is the first
time the Windward passage has been
crossed in the air, and, indeed. this is the
longest oversee flight yet successfully
undertaken. The flight over the English
channel is comparatively simple prop
osition. covering only about twenty-five
miles, while from Key West to Havana is

tween - and S:lo . o'clock, elapsed

at the rate of 81 miles an hour which
may be rated as good. but not fast time,
AviatoTs have frequently made longer
fights at higher rate of speed. Ro-
sllo. however, may have been bothered
with unfavorable winds. and perhaps he
was working for safety rather than
speed. His flight was in response TO the
cuban governments offer OF $4,000 fo
the successful passage Of the channel.

The Independence Day Pageant.

The chairman of the safe and sane
committee. Commissioner Rudolph, has
| notified the secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce that that committee has ap-
proved the idea of a civic pageant on the
18th of July and urged cooperation on
the enterprise of it's preparation. This
proposal merits the approval and hearty
assistance of all classes of citizens. With
the passing of the old style of '.celebra-
ton of Independence day, with its in
dvidual explosions of powder and piS-
tolls. there was adequate substitution
of any form OF concentrating the ma
tional birthday. the fireworks display af-
fording all that represented the commu
nity's recognition of the occasion. When
the Municipal building was formally open
ed July 4 was CHOSEN as the date and
there was a creGitaDle parade somewhat
indicative of the Districts civic spirit
But there has never been in recent years
anything or the nature of an historic
pageant here. and the opportunity would
seem to be especially advantageous now
to combine the observance of Independ-
ence day with some manifestation of the
historic appreciation of the people.
Few cities are well equipped for
such a purpose. The White lot. the Mon
ument grounds and the Mall itself all lie
available for pageantry. with Potomac
Park as a possibility in case of an ex-
tension of program to include representa-
tons requiring water settings. There is
an abundance OF historical material in
the story of the District itself, while the
character of the nations city as the fed
eral center makes it appropriate that here
of all places should be enacted folk rep
reservations or the American story.
Plans for the Independence day pageant
are being carefully considered and are
progressing toward maturity. The Drama
League, an organization which is espe-
cially adapted to foster and guide the ar
tistic aspect of a festival of this character,
is at work with a committee to enlist the
cooperation of all the local organizations
to make this occasion widely representa-
tive. The expense of the pageant will be
small and there is no doubt that it can
be easily met by public contribution
that will be in no wise burdensome upon
any.
The good enect of festival of this
| character. epitomizing the spirit OF Inde-
| pendence day and affording an opportuni-
| ~ for the children to participate, is not
| to be underestimated. 1t will quicken
the pride of all Washingtonians in their
city. 1t will stimulate an interest in
local and national history. 1t will afford
a pleasing and wholesome entertainment
for a multitude of people and will go far
to make Independence day significant
and an occasion OF real moment

Shifted Cares.

When you've got a legislature, why you
want to make ii work.
Don't let it sit in idleness like some lux
urious Turk.
When we hire man as statesman, he S
supposed to do his best
brains a rest.
So. when a fellow wants to know just
how to run a farm.
Or tend a shop, keep his growing
family from harm,
He ought to find an answer to each ques-
ton when he looks
At the directions printed in the various
statute books.
The legislature ought to tell US how to
toll or play
And how to get hired man and how to
make him stay,
And how to make the chickens lay, and
how to chop the wood.
And how to stop the fuses started in the
neighborhood.
When you call man a solon, it's his
duty very clear
To scatter wisdom till it permeates the
atmosphere,
So each can help himself I'm not at all
inclined to shirk.
But we've got a legislature and we ought
to make 1t work.

Regulating Traffic in Paris.
From the Chicago Record Herald.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Paris is evidently weary Of the chaos
that prevails in its streets. for the new
project of police has set himself to re-
organize the traffic department and will
name a standing committee at the pre-
lecture to deal with all complaints. The
famous cabs, too, so convenient for the
pedestrian on the lookout for lift. may
be prohibited from crawling at a snairs
pace through busy thoroughfares, on the
watch for fares.
Paris is a charming city to foreigners
as to natives, but 1t must be confessed
that the traffic regulations fail to charm.
Indeed there can hardly be said to be
any traffic regulation in Paris, and II is
a much frayed jest that, after street
accident the watchful policeman extri-
Gates the unfortunate foot passenger from
the wheels and arrests him. allowing the
driver to go scot-free. Except in the
busiest hours, the Paris policeman feels
himself quite superior to so mean a task
as protecting pedestrians from the end

tents himself with standing majestically
aloof to watch the confusion.

thoroughfares were paid for besides look

The Senate and the Tariff.

Nothing of material value is lost by

Scotland's Promised Parliament.

From the Boston Transcript.
1t is 2O6 years since Scotland had a
parliament OF its own. The union of
England and Scotland, which went into
effect May l. 1907, closed the doors of
the old parliament house at Edinburgh
to legislation. Scotland's delegations in
the British house Of peers and house of
commons were intrusted with the pro-
lection Of Scotland interests. In the be-
ginning the union was a cause of fric-
ton. 1t was approved by the CONNER
cial classes. but it divided the masses.
Politics impelled many distinguished
Scots to invoke against it's continuance
the force of old national traditions and
national antipathies. One Jacobite insist
ed that Scotland ended April 80 1907. and
thereafter became dependency Of the
English crown. However. as time went
on the union found favor. and until
within few years past home rule
movement in Scotland was no more to be
expected than a similar agitation in
Wales. Today "devolution." as the lib
erals call the operation of federalizing
the United Kingdom. is one of the most
conspicuous planks in their platform.
Scotland is to be given a parliament
once more.
