A HARDSHIP ON eIcYcLERs.

If the purpose of the council is TO
kill the bicycle business and compel
people who have relied on the wheel to
use the street cars. the ordinance
passed on Monday night ought TO be a
perfect success. In effect the ordi-
nance prohibits the use of sidewalks
by wheels anywhere in the city except
that bicycles may be ridden on the
walks outside the paved district from
To s a m and from to p. m. be-
tween Nov. 1 and May l.
Aside from the fact that there was
no real demand for such legislation. it
is manifestly unfair to wheel owners
who ride as a matter o. economy.
Outside the paved streets there isn't
a thoroughfare in Salt Lake that can
be used in comfort or safety for BIZ
cycles even in the summer. Thanks to
an incompetent street department. no
attempt is made TO keep the streets in
decent condition. so that this ordi-
nance is practically notice that wheels
must be abandoned except where the
owner is fortunate enough 10 live on
paved streets.
Unfortunately the large ma jority of
the men who use wheels are working
men and most Of them arr not resi-
dents Of the aristOcratic districts where
asphalt is common; many of them live
in the suburbs where they must either
use the sidewalks ~ pay street car
fare, so the new rule works a hardship
on those who can least afford IT,
There has been some just cause for
complaint Of the boys who ride reck-
lessly on the walks, but there need
have been none if the police had made
a business Of arresting a few offenders
and made examples of them. 1t is
not unlikely the new ordinance will &C.
casion quite as much more trouble. If
not more than the old one and it ought
never to have been passed.

ing of divorces. merely in order that
the divorced persons may marry again
the moment the DEGREES are signed.
There is also in the law a purpose TO
conserve public decency. A few other
states have a similar statute. and we
have never seen any constitutional OBJ
lection raised against them. Judge
McEwen declares that he sees moth
ing conducive to public morality in the
statute.
He believes that when a divorce is
granted the parties to it are just as free
as If they had never entered into
marital contract. Legally speaking,
they are. Morally, they are not Good
morals make good laws. The public
condemns the man who exhibits haste
in marrying after the death of his
wife. The divorce is a sort Of death.
There is nothing, save death itself,
that is more serious in our domestic
life. Divorced people are dead to each
other and they should, in common de-
cency, be dead to the world for a rea-
sonable length of time. To permit I'M
mediate remarriage is to encourage the
divorce evil.
1t is to encourage the securing of
divorces through fraud and chicanery.
A man grows tired of his wife through
no fault on the woman's part. He
meets another woman and thinks he
falls in love with her. Knowing that
if he divorces his wife or makes her
life so miserable that she is compelled
to divorce him he can marry the other
woman the man maps out his course
and follows il. It is hard to believe
that such second marriages can ever
be really happy, and they hardly de-
serve TO be happy.
OF course, il sometimes, perhaps Of
ten, occurs that life is unbearable for
a married couple. Then divorce be-
comes necessary. 1t does not seem
fair that people should pay a lifelong
penalty for a mistake committed in
youth. Later. if the right man or the
right woman is met and the prospects
for happiness are bright another mar
Tiage may follow, but certainly there
should be an interregnum of at least
one year.

THE Jim CROW" CAR.

The interstate commerce commission
has decided that the separate coach
law in effect in most of the southern
states is all right. but that the rail-
road companies must furnish negroes
paying first-class fare with first-class
accommodations. The decision will
be entirely satisfactory to the white
people living in the separate coach law
states 1t will also be satisfactory to
the negroes. except those that want
to ride in coaches with the whites just
for the sake of riding with the whites
The greatest objection urged by the
negroes against the Jim Grow" car
laws has been that, though they paid
firSt-class fares, they were obliged TO
put up with disgracefully inferior ac-
cOmmodatiOns. Any one who has ever
seen a Jim Crow" car will testify that
they are nearly always dirty. that they
are unsanitary and in every way unfit
for human occupancy. Negroes are
herded into them as if they were cattle
and 10 attempt at making them COM
Portable is made.
No decent negro could ride in the
average Jim Crow" car and retain
his self respect. He sees white people
riding in well-kept coaches and enjoy
ing all the comforts possible TO railway
travel, while he is crowded into a vile
coach that a dog of genteel instincts
would not occupy. When the negro
remembers that he is paying just as
much for his lack of accommodations
as the white man pays for his surplus
Of accommodations it is only natural
that he should object The action of
the interstate commerce commission in
ordering equal accommodations for
both races is entirely cOmmendable
And it viii not impose such a heavy
additional burden on the southern rail-
roads as the railroads would have Us
believe. Soap. water and disinfec-
tants do not cost great deal of mon
ey. Neither will it cost much to put
separate smoking compartments into
the cars of negroes. Also towels and
wash basins must be furnished when
there are cars for whites on the train
containing similar necessities 1t
should not be hard for the companies
to adjust themselves TO the new condi-
lions.
But whether they find the adjust
ment hard or not, it has to be made,
and IL should be made.
