on the part of the heathens is neither

There are several hundred bicycles In
use in this city, and the number Is steadi-
y increasing. RIDERS Of the wheels fire.
quently make complaint to the Morning
News that what they conceive to be their
rights on the streets and highways are
denied them by the drivers Of carriages.
.buggies and wagons. Some drivers OF
horses. indeed. seem to make an effort
TO crowd the bicycles into curbstones OF
bitches. and 10 smash the wheels when
ever they can. On the shell roads. the re-
port Is. the drivers Of high stepping and
fast nags especially disregard the rights
Of the wheelmen. and frequently endan-
ger not only the wheelman's costly ma
chine, but his more valuable neck. In the
city the drivers of the small one-horss
wagons apparently take delight in trying
20 force the riders OF bicycles to break
their wheels, or their bones. or both. The
rider who leaves his wheel at the curbing
while he goes into a building on business
for few moments does not know whether
he will find a whole bicycle or a tangle of
wires and spllnters when he comes out.
It is probably time for the non-bicycls
riding public to open their eyes to the fact
that the bicycle has standing in law
which the courts will defend. In
three states within a month the
legal status OF the wheel has
been defined and its rights upheld An
Illinois court held that the bicycle
was as much a vehicle as horse and
buggy, and that it was subject to the
same rules and regulations. and should en-
Joy the same privileges. A New York
court covered about the same points. and
the New York city board of aldermen
recently passed a law compelling an
wheeled vehicles to carry lights at night,
In order that buggies, carriages and wag
ons, and bicycles, should be on an equal
footing. In Lackawanna county, Pennsyl-
wanna, Judge Gunster a few days ago
that the bicycle is vehicle and has the
same rights on the highways as other We
hicles. Its proper place, he said, is upon the
street or driveway, and not upon the side

bicycleman may demand and receive all
OF the rights of the horseman. He fur
Their said that aywheel might be left for a
reasonable length of time on the side of
the highway placed in a proper manner
so as not unduly to interfere with the
rights of others, and the person who neg
Hgently or wilfully Injuries a wheel so
placed is liable for the full amount of
damages sustained by the wheel.
The judges opinion is based on common
sense and fairness. which is supposed to
be the base of all law; hence. while he
was expounding Pennsylvania law, there
is every reason to believe that his opinions
would hold good under the Georgia law.
When drivers come to realize that the fun
of upsetting wheelmen and smashing
wheels is liable to cost them 500 for a new
machine, the upsetting and smashing will
cease to be so funny.

that many limitations are being offered un-

that II Mr Campbell had been asked with

which hessuffered. and moral depletion.
which by care he escaped. The immense
funds which are raised for campaign pur-
poses these days. and the great sums
which are expected 20 be paid to campaign
committees by candidates who receive i'm
portaut nominations. are matters of polit-
ical scandal. One state at least-New
York-bas passed laws designed TO cut
down the sums used for. campaign pur-
poses, and much OF which Is used corrupt

quired TO file in the public records sworn
statements of their campaign expenses.
1t may be doubted that the law has the
effect Of preventing the use Of corruption
funds in New York campaigns. but there
is no doubt that it has reduced the evil
from the proportions to which it had at
tained before the law was passed.
Mr.. campbells statement calls atten-

to get a nomination and election to an i'm

Why should so much money be expend-

chances for election were slim. Is there
any good in such politics?
