THE PATH BILL AND IT'S EFFECT
IVENESS.

The San Jose Mercury" thinks that
if the permissive bicycle license act be-
comes law it will remain a dead letter
for the reason, now the bicycle is so
great a necessity, such a business con-
venience, that in few years the COM
munities of the country will construct
and maintain paths for them along all
roads, and hence such an aid as is now
proposed to path building will be I'M
necessary.
| That is a rosy view to take of it. But
a few years in legislative or journalistic
calculation may mean a decade, or two
decades. In the meantime is the pass
| ing generation to enjoy no path con-
veniences? Is that it? The truth is
that the law is so far behind the wheel
in meeting public need, that such
bill as that now pending in the Senate
is an absolute necessity.
| AS matters now stand a few ardent,
broad gauge, big-hearted cyclists work
their nails off in raising money and
building paths along country highways
and in maintaining them, which the
thousands who do nothing toward the
work, contribute nothing for it, enjoy
all the same even more than the path
builders. The latter very naturally
ask. "Is it fair? Why should not all
contribute a mite. few cents only an
nually, and thus divide the burden so
that none will feel it. and as result
give us plenty of rural riding paths?"
Moreover just such bills as that now
before the Senate will hasten the time
to which the Mercury looks forward
so hopefully. and with such supreme
one of the greatest of conveniences for
his family is the path along his fences,
graded, smooth, hard, firm and passable
in all seasons; free from dust in one and
saving to himself and family, and he is
! to-day the best friend the path has
outside of the cyclists in club organiza-
tons.
| NO, the Dill VIII HOl DtcOiic d uc1d
1 letter when it is a law; be assured of
that-it may down in Santa Clara, but
not up this way. If the Act becomes
| law it will be found effective at once in
the valley sections. because as the
wheelmen alone are to foot the BILL and
as seven out Of every ten of them is a
friend of the measure. We can safely
conclude that the mites will be gathered
in and the paths built along the re-
serves the Act of 1897 authorized SUI
pervisors to set aside along all
roads constructed after the passage of
the Act. and for the matter of that
along any county road, old or new.
That Act of 1897 was the legitimate
parent of the present bill. just as this
viii be the progenitor of the good roads
| era looked forward to SO hopefully by
the few who believe that a we'll con-
structed. well kept highway is an in
variable sign of an advanced state of
civilization and of a progressive, broad
minded and far-seeing community.

sagacity to make use of it for the pur-
pose of eliminating the Burns candi-
dacy or they entertained such distrust
of each other that they did not dare
to make further test of the sincerity OF
their own declarations as to Colonel
Burns strength or weakness.
In all this we have the astounding
spectacle of eighty-five men charged
with the duty of selecting a United
States Senator for their fellow parti-
sans refusing to meet each other III
consultation for fear such consultation
will result in the choice of a Senator,
and, what is still more astounding, the
hesitancy proceeds from a confessed
fear that Colonel Burns will be the
choice of that party consultation, when
the parties at the same time declare
that Colonel Burns is neither the choice
of his party nor the choice of any
council of the representatives of his
party. In one breath they declare that
| if the choice of a United States Sena-
tor is left to council of the Repub-
lfcan members Of the Legislature they
must inevitably choose Colonel Burns,
and in another breath they declare that
Colonel Burns can count less than ONE
third of the members of the council
among his adherents. This pitiable
state of affrighted timidity painfully
dfscloses the absence of every quallfi-
cation of leadership.
The failure to choose a United States
Senator will precipitate one year from
this time another Senatorial contest, In
which it is already only too apparent
that the Republican party will meet
with defeat and a Democrat be CHOSEN
Senator In this way the victory Won
by the rank and file of the party in
the election of 1898 will be wrested
from their hands and the party itself
betrayed into the hands of it's enemies
who have contributed to it when held
to a just accountability will be placed
upon their defense. Explanations will
then be in order, and it is pertinent
at the present time to ask what ex-
plantations will satisfy Republicans OF
the State of California. Will it answer
to say that the Republican members OF
the Legislature, with the power TO
choose a Senator in their hands, Ie-
fused to council with each other
through fear that majority of them
would eventually unite upon Repup-
lican and elect him to the office OF
United States Senator? Will the voters
of the party be deceived by this species
of grotesque absurdity? Certainly not
The action of the party council which
has already been held, If it demon
strated anything, demonstrated the
ability of the opposition to outvote
Burns when united.
The underlying truth of this dead
lock situation is plainly seen by every
man. woman and child in the State
of California. Self-seeking, personal
egotism and the lustful pursuit of pub
lie station will deny to the Republican
party of the State of California a SEN
ator in Congress for six years. Let
every Individual who has been consplc-
uous in comprising this result prepare
to abdicate all claim of right to leader
ship in the councils of the party.
