The prosperity of a town is not
gagged by the wealth of its inhabit-
ants, but by the uniformity with which
they pull together when any important
undertaking is to be accomplished. A
man with 81 900 at his command and a
love of his own town at heart, can do
more for the building and improvement
of it than the millionaire who locks up
his capital and snaps his fingers at
home progress.
The rights of bicyclists have been
successfully asserted in recent case
tried before Pennsylvania nisi prius
court, the value of the opinion being,
of course, simply argumentiVe. The
suit was one of damages brought by a
wheelman against teamster, who
drove his wagon against the wheel and
smashed it. The wheel was left in the
street against the curb, while the own
er went into a house. On the trial the
court, in explaining to the jury the law
bearing upon the case, set forth beyond
all cavil the rights of bicyclists upon
the public thoroughfares. They have
no right upon sidewalks at all any more
than have other vehicles, but they have
the same rights upon highways ard
streets that all other conveyances have.
If one is left leaning against a curb
stone, the man who runs into and dam
ages it does so at his peril. Upon the
streets wheelman is entitled to his
share of the roadway, and the man who
negligently or recklessly runshim down
must answer to the law. Upon the
strength of such charge as that, the
jury promptly returned verdict for the
owner of the wheel.
