LOGNc APPLIED TO BICYCLES.
The Observer and Our Pomaria. Cor
respondent Almost To-
getheT.

Pomaria. October 31.-1n Tues
davis issue tile Observer says: "Our
unknown critic at Pomaria ought to
knew that baby carriages have never
1ln over anyone on the sidewalk,
while bicycles have.,'' Of course this
correspondent knows that; we were
merely criticising the Observers
faulty logic. He argued that "biey-
cles are vehicles' and so "shollld be
kept in the street." According to the
are loric. it would follow that. as
,;;:a;:,y carriages are vehicles,' they,
too, should be kept in the street. Since
the Observer has amended his pre-
mise TO the somewhat different and
more definite proposition that "bicy-
cles on the sidewalk are dangerous to
pedestrians" the conclusion that they
"shoulds ;be kept in tAe street, is
more logical and legitimate. If he
will modify his proposition slightly
further, so as to make the statement
in this form: If the riding of bicycles
on the sidewalks can not be so re-
strict4d as to be without danger to
pedestrians, the bicycles should be
kept in the streets, we shall agree
with him in both premise and conelu-
sion.
This "critic' and the Observer
are not very far apart, we think, after
all, in the end which they desire at
tanned; and that is, the removing of
any possibility Of danger to .pedes-
TRANS, from the riding Of bicycles on
the sidewalks. We differ merely as
to the means of attaining that end.
The Observer evidently thinks that it
can be attained only by forbidding BIZ
cyclists to ride on the sidewalks at all.
This writer thinks that it can be at
tanned equally well by less drastic
ordinance for instance, the pres
ent one: an ordinance which, while
not working a hardship upon anyone,
will permit a great convenience to. a
number of good citizens and deserving
people. S.

The fact that Bishop Potter, who is
attending the General convention OF
the American Episcopal church at.
Richmond entertained a negro at his
dinner table Friday evening has con-
vv7lIsed the l:roud Virginia city,. 1t
happens taat the offending negro is
Bishop Ferguson of Africa. By the
time the news spread the whole south
may be expected 70 rise in rebellion.
It is not only that Bishop Potter re-,
ceived Bishop Ferguson at his table,
where Mrs. Potter and. DR.. W. T..
Huntington, Of Grace Church, New
York, were also present. That per
maps might be overlooked If it had
been done in New York after proper
precautions of secrecy. But Bishop
Potter presumed to offer his hospital
ity to a negro in a southern house,
and Bishop Ferguson daredsto accept
the invitation to dine in a southern
house. Tbky even rode together
through the streets of Richmond in.
Bishop Potter's carriage. This at
tempt to establish "social equality"
in Richmond of all places is an as
sault on the most cherished Of South
ern religions. This crime against ci-
vilization is enough to make the
blood of the Tillmans and Vardamans
boil, and to start a tidal wave Of fur
ious orat5ry from Arkansas Pass to

NO USE FOR ALCOHOL.

One dozen of the most eminent
physicians of Great Britain have
united in a manifesto in which they
say that the use of alcohol could
be discontinued without detrimenC to
the worlds welfare.

poverty, disease and crime they
unite in saying that it is not the con-
census of medical opinion that its
use is necessary.
This opinion will be hailed as sec
ond declaration of independence in

popular uprising in Kentucky, it will
be because it is overlooked in the old

for old age; but they declare that ex-
cessive wealth brings unhappiness.
If asked to define the line between
comfortable competency and excess
siye wealth, the critic falls back on
Rockefeller and Carnegie as living
examples of the curse of too much
wealth.
These statements are made in the
attitude of speaking proverbs. They
are seldom able to stand investiga-
ton. To say that mililonaires that
smile are rare sounds very smart, and
the hint of pessimism therein will
please the average citizen of today,
but in all probability room full of
millionaires would develop as many
smiles in an evening as room full
of merchants, plumers, motormen,
brick layers or farmers. But these
latter classes of men are not pictur-
esque; therefore, nobody cares to
make cynical remarks about them

To anyone who has heard Mr.. Car
negie speak in public, or has had any
insight into his private life since his
retirement from business there
comes at once an appreciation of the
humor in which that remark was in
tended, taking it for granted that
Mr.. Carnegie made it.
But there has been following in the
train of this remark comments of a
cynical nature. The statement has
been greeted with the Interpretation

Mr.. Rockefeller, which always show
him as a thin and unhappy man; and
in the statement recently attributed

STILL A CHANCE FOR THE POOR
BOY.

Croakers are forever saying that
the average American boy with moth
ing but his two hands, his brain and
his pluck no longer has chance.
Gone, so the croakers lament, are
the good old days when merit, with
Excelsior on it's banner, could press
upward to the heights. Somehow, the
path to success is supposed to be
fenced up at its very starting point;
and all that the poor youth of today
is expected by the croakers to do is
to sit down outside the fence and be-
wall his sad fate all his days.
Isn't it strange, then, that when
a conspicuous man dies and the story
of his life comes out, it is still so Of
ten found that no silver spoon was
in his mouth at birth?
Alexander J. Cassat, president of
the Pennsylvania, and as such guar
dian of billion of property and en-
ployer of 5000 men, who died the
other day, found his first employment
as a rodman The first lesson he
learned in real life was to work. He
knew what it was to drag the chain
through brush and over the hillside.
Then, step by step, he worked up
ward, his only advantage being SUI
perior capacity and determination
to do particular tasks better than
others Cassat's successor is James
McCrea What was his start? Also
as rodman.
The beaten paths to success may
be fenced against the boy without
capital, but there are always ways
across lots and over the hills. He
whose ideals are stars swung high
in the heavens needs no beaten path
to guide him. He who has learned
to labor and whose heart thrills
with aspiration and resolve has the
best capital there is-and the best
chance. The silver spoon in the mouth
at birth is greatly overrated as a
factor either for success or failure.
There are lots of rich young men
whom wealth has not deadened And
lots of poor ones who it would not
have helped. City World.

KICKS AGAINST POST OFFICE

Every Now and Then its alright
for Somebody to Kick about the way
Business is Transacted in the Post
Office.
The Blessed Privilege of Kicking
| is the Heritage of Every Freedom
American. Promiscuous Kicking has
Helped to Make us Robust and Wig
curious People.
But when the People kick SO much
about the same thing, there must be
a reason for it, A great many say
that the local post Office is not exact
| ly credit to the city.
The burden of their Complaint
seems to be the method of selling
stamps. Stamps are sold only at the
General Delivery Window; when this
window is closed-which it is for an
hour or more each day during the
| distribution of mails, it is impossible
to purchase stamps. Several times
each day a long line of people are
waiting to get their mail, and per-
son DESTROYS of purchasing stamps
must fall in and wait his turn.
There is another window open to the
right of the line, but stamps cannot
be bought there.
And again, there are not boxes
enough for a town of this size. 1t
is impossible to secure an individual
box, and no little confusion arises
when several persons receive mail
through the same box. The expenses
of installing few more teirs OF mail
boxes would be insignificant, and the
rental would soon reimburse for the
outlay.
So the Complaints, reduced to their
last analysis, clamor FOR A SEPAR-
ATE STAMP WINDOW, AND MORE
NAIL BOXES.
OF Course no Public Official since
Moses was Mayor of Jerusalem has
Pleased All the People. That is-a
Herculean Task which Wise Ones
never Tackle For the local POST
matter the public has only the kind
est feeling-the People SIMPLY
| THINK THEY'RE ENTITLED TO
A BETTER POSTAL SERVICE.
| Wenatchee's volume of mail is large
enough to entitla her to a free de-
livery srvice. 1t has not been sup
piled. because there are no sidewalks
| for the men to walk on when they
carry the letters around. So the lack
/ of this makes it even more incum-
bent on the postmaster to give the
city all the advantages possible.
| Travelling men and transients are
particularly prone to pooh pooh all
our postoffice.
! All the public asks is that business
be expedited.
j With the present incumbent the
people have no quarrel-hut it is
safe to say that the post Office has
! not kept pace with the growth of the
city, and that in its conduct there is
room for improvement.

in set forth. bases the showing upon
the very LOGICAL ground that the Kan
sas college makes specially of the
domestic science course. For four
years the young women students are
engaged in practical work, such as
sewing, cooking and similar domes-
tic arts, while they are studing the
classics, sciences and culture sub
jects. Thus, a woman graduate is
not Only proficient in the intellectu-
ally uplifting elements of an educa-
ton, but she is also versed in those
plete homes.
In the words of Professor McKever,
THE young woman who has COM
pleted the classical or professional or
general cultural courses is much in
clined to look for an Independent
career and to put off the day of her
marriage as if it were matter of
secondary Importance. But the do
nestle science girl has been nourlsn-
ing her mind on the details of home
making for four years and this close
acquaintance with these practical
matters naturally makes her fond of
them and anxious to put them into
practical use. "-P.-I.
