LESSONS OF THE BICYCLE ACCIDENT
Suggestions Evoked by Tucsday's
DepIOrable Happening.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Referring to the communication by F
Richardson, published in Wednesday even
ing's issue Of your paper, regarding the
sad and fatal accident which occurred i'm
the vicinity of 18th and + streets north
west, in which the writer takes occasion
to quote the word accident and to con-
cede the possible actual truth that the
colored bicyclst who figured in the affair
did not malciously invite the sad termina-
ton, l wish to present the other side of
the question. While it is doubtless true
that there are many bicyclists both black
and white. in this city of the variety rep
resented by the one the writer of that
letter SO keenly regrets his failure to
smash up is it fair to the vast ma
jority representing the riders who are anx-
ious and willing to conform with any rea-
sonable regulations insurng safety to the
pedestrian to hold up as a criterion the
isolated instance referred to by Mr. Rich
ardson? The restrictions governing cycling
In this city are amply rigorous to insure
all reasonable safety to both rider and pc
destrian, and the occurrence of a rare ac-
cident cannot rightfully be construed as
indicating either a laxity in the law or in
it's enforcement by the officers Doubtless.
were the law sufficiently rigorous there
would be no fatal accidents of any nature
but to insure this state of affairs in a
busy city would necessitate a snairs pace
for the street cars, prohibition of equine
travel beyond a walk and gait for cy-
clists only maintainable by the profession
al trick rider. This is, in the nature of
this day and age. an impossibiIty The
law maintained and upheld by the major
ity must and will be violated by the few:
the law must not be strict as to react
as a hardship on those it is designed to
protect; and its inevitable violation by the
few cannot serve the basis for Just
Judgment of the majority, nor can it be
held that its occasional violation in this
wise Is detrimental to those to whom the
majority fntrust its enforcement Con-
trary to the statement In Mr.. Richardson
communication, it is not alone due to the
blessing of Providence that some one is
not killed every day" by reckless wheel
men, but rather to wise and judicious re
strictions, imposed and faithfully enforced
by the local authorities, whom We should
thank for the good accomplished, rather
than censure for the inevitable slip up
Providence is a great help only to those
who help themselves.

"MObe" and s.Bike" ScOrchers,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Mr.. Richardson's observations in We'd
nesday's Star in regard to rapid bicycle
riding on our streets We're timely and to
the point. But they did not go far enough.
1t was not necessary to limit their applica-
ton to colored riders. White scorchers are
quite as plenty, and equally dangerous
Furthermore, bicycle riders are not the
only menace to pedestrians. The fellows
VINO rush along our thoroughfares and
around corners at break-neck speed. on
horSeleSS carria geS-eSpecially those of the
runabout variety-are even more to be
dreaded than the bicycle riders Some of
them are about as noiseless as the bicycle,
and are often driven at a higher rate of
speed, and as they are much heavier than
any two-wheel vehicle the danger to life
and limb, in case of collision, is infinitely
greater. The ''mobe' scorcher Is therefore
even more to be feared than his malicious
idiot brother on the bike" and needs to
be regulated accordingly.

Lessons of the Bicycle Accident.

Lessons of the Bicycle Accident.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The distressing bicycle accident on F
street, which resulted in the death Of Mrs.
Launt two days ago, should emphasize two
things: First, no one should be permit ed
to ride or drive on a crowded street at a
rate that may endanger life; second. that
bicycle and car bells must be rung very
judiciously, or they are apt to confuse and
put In greater danger the persons whom
they are intended to direct and save from
harm. Many persons seem to think that
the ringing of the bell secures the right
of way and permits under all circum-
stances an increase of speed. AS matter
of fact the necessity to ring the bell or
gong ought to warn bicyclist motorman
or driver to slacken his speed to a walk
except when the way is quite clear and
there is need to go ahead to prevent a
blockade. 1t ought to be thoroughly I'M
derstood that persons on foot on the street
crossing have the right Of way, and no
vehicle is privileged to run any one
down, whether a child, a woman or a
strong man: and failure to observe the
foot passengers right ought to be pun
ished promptly and severely, If a death re-
suits. In older countries than the United
States such matters are treated with much
more concern. An accident which results
in q death Is given very thorough in
vestigation; usually some person is found
to be responsible and il punished accord
ing to his fault. As q consequence human
life is more secure. c. H. GREATHOUSE.

Charles Kilbourne, Lyman Lauden-

pointed commissioners to partition the
estate of Moses Thompson, one of the
pioneers of Hudson township.
Itis somewhat unusual circumstance
that practically all of the property will
go to the grandchildren instead of the
children of the deceased. In the will
it was provided that the widow should
have a life interest in the estate. Sew
eral of the children preceded her in
death. 1t is the children of these sons
and daughters who will inherit the es-
tate
An order of partition has also been
issued in the case of Mary c. Voss
VS.. Anna S. Albertson. They are heirs
to portion of the estate of Adam
Brecht. The other heirs are scattered
all over the United -tates and Ger
mnay. Great difficulty was eXperienc-

titled to share in the distribution. The
commissioners appointed to make the
distribution are r. s. raul, Louis Lau-

The Catholic Educational Institute
will not be located in Akron.
II will be located near Cleveland,
although the location has not been
selected. A quiet place, where the
community will be in accord with the
institution, is desired, and such n
place, 1t Is figured, will be found in
one, or near one of the suburbs of the
Forest City.
Akron cannot hope to secure the
prize "This city," said one Of the
officers of the organization, has not
one chance in thousand for securing
the institute"
the citizens of Akron have been cold
toward the project. but the conditions
found in this city are such as to
make the organization seek for anoth-
er location. Akron, as is known
throughout the world, is manufac-
turing city. Its daily hustle and bus
tie, the sbrieks of u thousand whistles,
and It's ceaseless noise of industry
serve MS a substantial quietus to any
project for an institution that de-
mands quietness as an inviting vir.
tue.
Smaller towns are more desirable
locations for colleges, and to one of
these near Cleveland the Catholic

Withholding Names of Teachers
Awarded Certificates.

Competition robbed of it's stimulus
by lack of recognition of effort in
spired by competition. avails but lit
tie. This is an age when triumphs are
won by him or her whose efforts sur
pass those of others, and he is indeed
an unnatural individual who does not
care to have the world recognize his
successes. The possibility of failure,
when competing with others, brings
forth all of worth and energy there
is within the individual but the fall
ure to reward merit and energetic
effort places no shining goal at ~the
end of the race. A race with the
winners name unannounced would
scarcely be a race at all.
AT the examination for teachers,
held two weeks ago by the County
Board of Examiners, 62 persons ap-
piled for certificates. OF this number
only 33 passed the examination sue
ccssfully. Everybody knew that 62
people had applied for certificates,
but so far as the result was concern
ed they might have inferred that all
had failed, because the Board made no
announcement of those who We're
successful. While to publish the
namse of those who failed might be
an injustice, it Is greater injustice
to ignore the fact that 81 persons by
closer application to study and poses
sing keener application of what a
school teacher should be, had sue
ceeded in demonstrating their ability
to the Board.
But for this condition the Board
is to blame. 1t has just adopted a
resolution, I'm accordance with the
wishes of individuals, uncertain of
their ability, forbidding the publishing
of names of applicants for certificates
lwho succeeded. This places premium
on incompetency, and gives no recog
milton of surprising merit, 1t is re
gardnd ms weak and silly resolution
because those who cannot bear de
feat, should never enter race. sum
NIT county wants good teachers, and
can better obtain them by increasing
rather than diminishing the strength
and rewards of competition.
On Mares ?, the Board will examine
100 applicants. The public will b(
interested in knowing what per cen
of the number succeeds, and to whom
individually, the certificates are
awarded.
1t is the intention of the Board tC
discuss the advisability of rcscindins
its queer and unnatural resolution
and the educational public hopes tina
II will not long delay such action.
