Making Laws for wheeImsn.

During the past winter the various
state divisions of the League of Ameri
can Wheelmen were partit ularly ac
tive in working for legislation favor
able to the interests of wheelmen.
This work included the passage of
bills for betterment of the pIblic high
ways, requiring railroads to carry
bicycles as baggage. provisions for the
building of side-paths, and the defeat
of all bills intended to injure cycling
interests.
The most important of these meas
ures was the successful result of
popular vote in Minnesota tC allow the
state to assist in the building of roads.
Under the laws of the state the Iegis-
lature did not have power to vote ap
propriations for the purpose, and
constitutional amendment was neces-
sary. This was carried by very large
majority, the people speaking in no un-
certain tones their wishes in regard to
road building. in New York and
Pennsylvania laws We're passed pro-
viding for the appointment. of side
path commissioners, under whom the
cycle paths throughout those states
will be built. A law preventing six
days races was passed in New York
and one making a bicycle not subject
to execution was passed in Colorado.
Fourteen states now carry bicycles
as baggage, without extra charge, and
some others have voted appropriations
for side-paths. Seven states now have

Kings Faith in Filipinos.

Brigadier General Charles King, who
returned from the Philippines short
time ago, in letter published on Tues
day states that the capability of the
Filipinos for self-government cannot be
doubted, and il given fair start they
could look out for themselves infinitely
better than our people imagine. He
says they rank far higher than the
Cubans or the uneducated negroes to
whom the United States has given the
right of suffrage.
Inasmuch as General King is not a
disgruntled American, nor a small
American, nor anything else but an
American who served his country faith
fully in three wars and who knows
right from wrong and is not afraid to
condemn the wrong, and his record as
an historian and war writer makes his
opinion unassailable, his words ought to
count for more than the statements of
expansionists and land-grabbers who
get their information through censored
kilograms from libelers who dare not let
the light of publicity shine on their
murderous work in the Philippines. -

$3.50 expenses.
A fight between Mccoy and Choyn-
ski is one of the few good attractions
to be had. One of the New Yorl;
Clubs at one time was on the point of
offering $4,000 for it. If the Colorado
people get 1t for less they are extreme
ly fortunate.

Nine-tenths Of the published rot
about the Anglo-SaXon race is written
by people who have not a drop of
Anglo-Saxon blood in their veins, but it
is the passing fad to say nice things
about that race and ignorant scribblers
imagine they are complimcntng the
country by referring to it as an Anglo
Saxon nation. Uncle Sam has many
burdens to bear these days, but few are
more CALLING than the false position
which he is being placed in before the
world by writers who know so little Of
their country's history as to call the
American people a branch of the Anglo
Saxon race.

Instead Of the henstttched border, some
