streets are texts for numerous editorials
in the London newspapers. In London
there is a chorus of criticism that street
traffic is not as well regulated as 1t
should be, or as it might be, that the
perils of the streets are too great. and
that too many lives are crushed out by
vehicles. There are no statistics which
might serve for comparison with the
loss of life In American cities, and the
comparison would, no doubt, be favor
able to London. but the significant point
Is that London is contending with
traffic problems which seem to battle it.
For more than a year the problem
has been under Amusement by a select
committee of the house of commons on
motor traffic. and the committee has pre-
sented report to the London county coun-
Gil which. according to the London Chron-
icie, is aimed Ito minimize the terrible
death rate of the Londop streets" The
report was not adopted by the London
county council. and. according to the
Chronicle, the London traffic problem
is once again in the melting pot, and
the appalling waste of life and property
due to the present chaos as to traffic
will continue The remarkable increase
of motor traffic and consequent con-
gestion in the streets is London's prob
lem. as it is one of the problems of
most big cities.

Conference of Librarians.

The American Library Association
which has come TO Washington for its
th,rty-sixth annual conference. Will hold
it's sessions in a congenial atmosphere
Washington is the great city Of books in

pressing close upon all the cities OF the
old world. Copies of every copyrighted
book published in the United States. and
this means every book printed in this
country. with perhaps few exceptions
and a repository here. These acre.
tons supplemented by purchase and by
the gift of collections. have rapidly

of books. The libraries of the executive
departments are in number of instances

professional and scientific libraries own
ed by the government at its capital raise
Washington to its pre-emnence as a
library city. The law libraries. the med
ical library and the War College library
are priceless collections and are grow

Aviation Death List.

The aviation death list lengthens as
the aviation season advances. This was
expected. A few weeks ago The Star.
commenting on mortality sta tistics show
ing that the number Of aviators killed
from the date Of the death of Lieut..
Thomas H. Selfridge at Fort Myer in Sep
TENDER. 1908. to April 1. 1914, was 49,
said: This being spring, the aviation sea.
son of 1911 is about to open, and the
chances are that the aviation death list
will soon begin to lengthen.'' 1t is too
bad that these deaths, mostly of young
men who have in them the promise of
great usefulness, should go on, but it
probably will until genius produces a
heavier than-air flying machine which is
safe and which will not fall. This seems
to be a long way in the future.

The President and Adjournment.

Something like this is heard in the Cos
sip on Capitol Hill: Congress will ad-
journ when the President gives the word;
not before. If he says full antitrust
legislat ton at this session Congress will
obey if the session is protracted until
the snow flies. The President is master
Of the situation.
Has a President this power over Con-
gress? Is it to such an extent at his
| mercy?
Congress. He may do so at any time
during session of that body. After be-
ing formally apprised of the readiness of
Congress to adjourn and consenting to
the arrangement, the President in an
emergency would be justified in submit
ting a matter by message, and asking i'm
mediate action.
But what is now under discussion is a
horse Of another color. After asking &C
ton on a given matter, could a President
force action? If Congress wanted more
time to consider the subject. and thought
action at another time would better serve
the interests of the country, could it not
with the necessary sand make itself mas
dent hold it beyond it's willingness to re-
main?
Mr.. Wilson wants the trust question dis
posed of at this session. Congress would
be glad to postpone it. Business is press
ing for changes in the measures proposed.
Union labor is not satisfied with them.
The farmers are sulking. Still, Mr.. Will
son. from the pilot house, sounds the gong
for full steam ahead.
The moments are anxious ones for SEN
ators and representatives seeking re-elec-
ton. They are not SO anxious for MIR.
Wilson, who will not go before the people
until 1916
Still. he has something in the scale this
year. too. Hasty and ill-digested trust
Iegislatio operating adversely on demo-
cratic candidates for Congress would in
a measure operate against him. A demo-
cratic reverse at the polls in November
would somewhat cloud the Wilson pros
poets for a second term in the White
House.
A Congress which for the purpose of
facilitating an early opening of congress
sional campaigns should shut up shop
with any of the supply bills unpassed
would injure itself with the country.
Support of the government is the leading
consideration: and on that account the
supply bills have the right of way in
both houses of Congress.
Another summer in Washington, and
this time with fences" at home needing
attention, does not appeal to Congress.
Members would greatly prefer devoting
the weeks to their campaigns, and trying
to get their commissions renewed. And if
trust measures are insisted on. and those
measures threaten protracted debate in
the chamber where debate is full and
free, the question of the New Leadership
will undergo severe test-the severest
yet.

London's Traffic Problem.

Whenever the question Of the regula-
ton of street traffic is under discussion
it is almost a certainty that reference
will be made to the perfection of the
traffic regulations of London and the
prompt and unhesitating obedience which
is given to those regulations by drivers
and pedestrians In the streets. 1t may
be that at this distance there is tend
ency to exaggerate the accomplish
ments OF London in the matter of han
ding street traffic. At any rate. London
authorities do not consider their system
perfect. or nearly so. and 1.-The traffic

the Washington Public Library, which
serves the greater number of the people
of the District of Columbia in their
homes as we'll a. in the public reading
room. In the report of the committee
on public library of the Board of Trade
submitted and unanimously adopted at a
meeting of the board March %, 1894. it
was said that 1.-THE departmental libraries
at the capital contain nearly 100000
volumes, accessible only to few en-
ployes of the government and closed to
them early In the afternoon. The vast
wealth of reading matter In the Con-
gressional Library is practically out of
reach of the workingmen and school
children owing to the hours of opening
and closing and the conditions placed
upon the enjoyment of it's privileges. Not
one of the great government COLLECTIONS
Is open in the evening, when alone the
great mass of people can use the books.
There are fifty-two libraries In the Dis
trict, each containing over LOCO volumes.
and not one of them is a free lending
library with reading room open at
night for the benefit of the general pub
lie. Such an institution Is most
urgent need of the National Capital
viewing This ocean OF more tfdH d Iiii-
lion books spread tantalizingly before
them, workingmen. the school children,
the government clerks, the great mass of
the citizens of Washington. thirsty for
the knowledge which comes from read
ing. may well exclaim with the Ancient
Mariner: Water, water, everywhere. nor
any drop to drink. . Conditions as to the
availability of books in the Library OF
Congress have somewhat improved since
the writing of that report, and the tax
sustained public library which it pro-
posed was two years later created by
law This library has demonstrated its
great usefulness to the people of the
District of Columbia and its sphere of
activity is being constantly enlarged
Washington is interested in the work
of the librarians of state. city and special
libraries. who have now gathered l,2oo
strong in the capital for their thir-
sixth annual conference. The aim of
these men and women is to further eX-
tend the popular reading habit under
wise guidance and to promote the great
cause of general education.

danger in anything that gets away from
