Bicycle Lamps.

In speaking OF municipal laws
governing using bicycle lamps,
the State Journal says:
"There is q state bicycle law.
Any law prescribed by the State
cannot be conhicted with by mum
icipal ordinances. Tho state law
does not require bicycle lamps to
be used on wheels travelling at
night. Hence municipal law max
ers cannot require what the state
specifically says shall not be re-
quired. The laws of the state
are general in regard 10 bicycles
and are applicable alike in all
towns of the state as they are on
public country roads. The city is
utterly powerless to pass lamp
ordinance as applied 20 bicycles.
The matter has been teeted.
But, law or no law, the rider
having regard for the life and limb
Of his fellow-man will have lamp
on bis wheel il he does much rid
ing after the fall of the shades OF
night. No ordinance is in sight
on-the question, but the we'll mean
ing rider will use lamp irrespec-
tive of his liberty to not"
We do not agree with the State
journal, but are Of the opinion that
towns have a right TO require all bi
cycle riders to haye lamps on their
wheels at night. A. the State law
does not say municipal corporation,
shall not enact such a law there
is no conflicting between sta2 and
municipal authorities in this matter
