PUNISH THE SCORCHERS

A fatal accident occurred in this city
yesterday as the direct result of fast and
reckless riding by wheelmen. One man
was riding at a rapid rate on Third
street while another was "scorching'
down Main. A collision ensued at the
crossing. Both men were thrown to the
pavement, one receiving injuries from
which he died two hours later. The
other was not seriously hurt.
From the accounts given it appears
that both men were riding much facter
than safety permits on business street,
and that the blame for the fatal result
rests principally with the one who lost
his life.
There is altogether too much fast and
reckless bicycle riding on the business
streets of the city and it is amazing that
the ordinance in effect regulating the
speed of such vehicles in the downtown
district should be 50 commonly disre-
garded by cyclists and ignored by
the police. The pedestrian is usu-
ally in much greater danger from
the 'scorcher' than are other bicycle
riders and it is really providential that

OPPOSED BECAUSE WESTERN

The demand of the mineraliZed sec
of mines and mining, ranking with the
other executive departments of the gov
ernment is being antagonized by the
eastern press generally, and will not
be conceded without a struggle.
In this as in many other things the
people of the seaboard stand in their
own light. They look at it only from
the political standpoint, and utterly
fail to recognize the benefits which they
! must in large part share from the more
intelligent, systematic and scientific de-
velopment of the mineral resources of
the country.
In considering it they stand in awe of
the scarecrow of the silver element"
and fancy they see in this movement an
ulterior design to intrench itself in
power at the capital through the me-
dium of cabinet officer. The fact is
overlooked that silver is but one of the
numerous mineral resources of the
country, and dwarfed in proportions to
several AS matter OF TACT the pro-
moters of the scheme, and especially
those who have been chosen to present
the matter to congress, base their ar
guments chiefly upon the importance of
the coal and iron industries of the coun-
try, altogether subordinating the in
dustry of precious metal mining, and
reinforce them with examples of what
other governments have done and are
doing in the line of legitimate promo
ton, not differing in essential particu-
lars from the assistance given to agri-
culture by that department of our gov
ernment. The proposed departure is in
the interest of the iron industries of
Alabama, Michigan, Tennessee and
Missouri, no less than of the copper in
terestS of Montana, the coal of Penn

silver and gold resources of the min

A CRISIS IN TERRAPIN

upon parts of the report referring to the
board of education and the management
of the public school system of this city
1t is, indeed, appalling, in view of recent
developments, to know that the only
punishment for bribery, extortion and
other forms of corruption is so slight
that no dishonest school director would
regard the penalty as a deterrent, if he

more appalling does the situation be-
come when it is realized that it is yet

formed to conduct the school system of

it costs but 3& cents a meal to feed the
prisoners at the city JAIL including the
cost of fuel. There is no reason why the
county should be taxed in order to place
large profit in the pockets of any of it's
paid officials. There is evidently room
for an economical reform in the matter
of feeding the county prisoners.
Other important matters are consid-

jury is, so to speak. an official conscience

A Caution to Cyclists

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald
The unfortunate accident which occurred
near the corner of Third and Main streets
early yesterday morning between two cy-
clists, who were travelling at an unwar-
rantable rate of speed, in which one was
Killed. goes to show that 1t is high time
that the chief of police should take some
measures to enforce the speed ordinance
now existing. Two weeks ago when the
proposed lamp and bell ordinance was dis
cussed, both c. C. Monaghan and Carl
McStay spoke concerning this existing or
dinance. This same ordinance forbids
trick or fancy riding on the streets. and
yet there are hundreds of wheelmen In
Los Angeles who ride back and forth on
their wheels with not so much as Il finger
on their handle bars, exposing themselves
as we'll as anyone following them to acci-
dent. If the existing police force cannot
control the reckless drivers of teams and
riders of cycles, then 1t might be well for
wheelmen to take the matter up apd pass
an ordinance making it a misdemeanor to
ride or drive on the wrong side of the
street or turn short corners to the left.
The road rules in New York read:
North and south-bound vehicles have
right of way over those going easterly
or westerly.
vehicle overtaking another shall
pass II on its left. The overtaken We
hicle shall turn to it's right to allow
the other to pass, if so requested.
Above Fifty-ninth street. a space of
fifteen feet must be allowed before

Before turning a corner. a signal
must be made by hand or whip, show
ing plainly to the rear, which direction
will be taken. In turning a corner to
the right, vehicles must keep to the
right OF the center of the street. In
turning to the left, they must pass to
the right of the center of intersection
of the two streets.
No vehicle shall stop in the street
except near the curb. nor turn with
out giving signal by hand or voice
Cycles and motor vehicles must keep
to the right of the roadway, and cycles
must not travel above eight miles an
hour. No coasting is allowed below
One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street
All vehicles, except licensed trucks.

In Denver. Col, the wheelmen put an
ordinance through compelling all vehicles
to keep to the right side of the street and
had twenty-five wheelmen appointed spec
ial police, and from a condition of Wild
confusion perfect order resulted. Some
ordinance should be passed regulating
these matters and then be rigidly enforced.
