Favor the Lamp Law.

The bicycle lamp discussion has been
waged pro and con: for many years.
and there is probably not a communi-
ty in the country where the PROPOSE
ton to pass an ordinance requiring
lights on bicycles after dark has not
been bitterly fought by the majority
OF wheelmen. 1t will be remembered
what concerted opposition was made
against the passage Of the Connecti-
cut state vehicle lantern law when 1t
was before the legislature. and with
this in mind it Is somewhat surprising
to find. in response to a query pro-
pounded by mail to members through
the commonwealth by the officials OF
the state division of the League OF
American Wheelmen. that 1871 per
cent replied that they favored the ex-
listing law and 8.3 per cent would favor
It If amended. 1t seems as If this
should be %vindication enough for the
bicycle lamp to diminish future opposi-
ton to lamp ordinances in other
communities.

Even the most loyal adherents Of the
league admit that. reorganization Is
necessary. Ex-President Potter, to
whom is largely due the greatest sue
cess the. body has ever enjoyed. says:
Il believe that we should have a closer
local organization, which shall reach
each individual and interest him in
some strictly local work, make the d.
visions less prominent and make some
changes in the national organization.
Then l believe the league would boom
again. The solid men will join 1t in

throughout the countryside o. account
of his prodigious size and remarkable
physical strength. I can just remem-
ber seaing him as a small boy. and 80
enormous was he that he scared me
almost to death. All sorts Of stories
Of his feats of strength survive there
to this day: how unaided he pulled q
young horse out of a ten-foot hole into
which he had fallen; how he held up
a heavily. loaded wagon on his back
while a broken wheel was replaced,
and many others. On Saturday after
noon about dusk he came into the
druggists, and, complaining of a tooth
ache, asked for something to ease the
pain. The druggist fhxed him UP q
dose OF what he supposed was pare
goric, which the farmer swallowed on
the spot and departed. An hour or SO
later the druggist discovered that his
