that the revenue derived from the IL
censes would be misappropriated in
stead of being honestly expended in
repairing and cleaning the streets. One
provision which meets with the un-
qualified approval of all cyclists and of
city officials is that requiring that all
vehicles of whatever kind using the
streets after dark shall carry lights.
This is u matter for which the wheel
men have been working for two years
in the interest of justice und public
safety, and it is the one point in the
ordinance which the judge upholds,
since it properly comes under the city's
right to regulate the use of the streets.
y very large proportion of the collisions
in which cyclists are involved are due to
unlighted carriages, many of which are
now equipped with rubber-tired and
noiseless wheels. Almost any person
on foot or on bicycle would rather be
run into by cyclist than by a horse
and carriage. so that if the lighter We
hiclc, and less dangerous one, is to be
compelled to carry light the same
precaution should by all means be ex-
tended to the larger class of conveyance.
This fact is widely recognized and ad-
mittcd now, but if Chicago allows that
clause in the new ordinance to stand.
and rigidly enforces it, she will have
taken an initiative in America. if not in
the world. which will be soon followed
by other cities.
Some great surprises were developed
in the two days racing at the league
meet in Philadelphia. Previous to the
meet, and even after his defeats the first
day, Bald was the fnvorite picked to
win the championships. But. though
he was in fine condition, all he got dur
ing the entire meet was three seconds,
being shut out of third position in the
quartcr-mile championship by an error
in the judging. Cooper made still
poorer showing, as all he got out of the
meet was second in the quarter-mile
championship Friday and third in the
mile open Saturday, being shut out of
the two-mile handicap and the onc-mile
championship Friday and the half-mile
championship Saturday.
The sensation of the meet was Fred
Loughcad, the Canadian ex-champion
who won the mile and quarter-mile
championships from Bald, Kiser, Coop
er, Gardiner, and other tirst-claSs riders
in record times. The mile was made in
2:O3 3-5, which is Pennsylvania state
record and also record for national
championships. The quarter-mile
championship was won in 80 which

HOW BRYAN "FIGURED."

Last fall when the silver in silver
dollar was worth about SO cents ID
gold. Candidate Bryan said it was an
honest dollar. The gold dollar' he
said was a dishonest dollar, because
the gold in a gold dollar was worth
almost twice as much as the silver IN
silver dollar. Candidate Bryan called
the gold dollar 200 cent dollar. AS
matter of fact it was according TO Mr'
Bryans way of looking alta lo9'cent
dollar. At that time wheat was sell
ing for So cents bushel, and, mas
much as the farmers were paid with
1S9-cent dollars, they actually received
if Mr.. Bryan's reasoning was correct
almost Sl.O5 bushel for it,
Now the silver in silver dollar is
worth but AZ cents in gold. Accepting
Mr.. Bryan's way of reasoning OF
course the gold dollar is now a 2SS@-
cent dollar, for the gold in it is worth
more than two and one-third times as
much as the silver in a silver dollar,
and the farmers are getting the high
valued dollars in payment for their
wheat They are not, however, selling
wheat at the price they received one
wear ago Instead of the market price
being 55 cents, as it was then, it is now
SSk cents a bushel 1nasmuch as the
farmers are getting the 2SSB- dol
lars in payment for their wheat, they
are in reality accepting Mr.. Bryan's
reasoning as correct, getting S2'll
bushel for it.
OF course while, in the market quo
tatons, wheat is Only 53E cents a
bushel higher in price now than year
ago, if we take Mr. Bryan as an author
ity for the value of the gold dollar it
is clear that the farmer is getting Sl.O6
more bushel for his wheat now than
he received one year ago.
The Leader does not put forth his
calculation as its own. Its only pur-
pose is to show how absurd were some
of the arguments of the Boy Orator,
and to demonstrate the fallacy of the
claim that silver was and is a true
measure of value, and that silver and
wheat were or ever could be indissol-
ubly linked in value as Mr. Bryau said
they were. Cleveland Leader,

south, in Oklahoma, have harvested
this year 12, 900, 900 bushels of wheat,

These points appear to cover the mat

ably the most able jurist in Chicago Ia

it to the highest court. This being the

vehicles of every description drawn by
horses, according to the number OF an

have become popular they have been
looked upon with envious eyes by city
fathers everywhere,who begrudge their
owners the unrestricted use of the
streets and feel that the fad for cy-
cling ought in some way to be made
to pour money into the municipal cof-
fers. For some ineXplicahle reason they
look upon bicycle riding as an i!ie-
gitimate pleasure and recreation and
think that those who indulge in it
ought to pay license for the privilege
of using the streets. although the pub
lie streets and highways of the entire
country are common property, free to
the use of all alike.

The gist of Judge T'uley's decision lies
in the following paragraph, and applies
to other cities as wei as to Chicago.
II hold that the eXaction imposed by
the ordinance was not the exercise of
the licensing power, but an attempt to
raise revenue for street improvement
by imposing tax under the guise of
license fee. and so far as it concerned
bicycles, wagons and other vehicles
used for pleasure could not be sus-
tanned, for the reason that the tax is
not imposed according TO value, as re-
quired by the constitution and city
charter; because it is not uniform in
its operation and is violntive of the
principle of equality of burden, which
is Indispensable TO all legal taxation;
also, because the bicycles and pleasure
vehicles are required to be assessed ac-
cording to value for general taxation,

Loughcad's work has always been
