ing was about to begin that the police,
terfered. If Chief Sheets knew on Sum-
day evening that bicycle races were
wrong on Sunday, he should have
known il on Thursday evening. At the
least he should have told the manage
ment not later than Saturday that the
Sunday races would not be permitted.
The Herald as general proposition
believes in a reasonably wide latitude
for Sunday amusements. 1t is very
difficult to draw the line between that
which is permissible and that which is
not permissible. For Sunday baseball
it has been argued that many persons
can see the game on Sunday afternoon
who cannot see il on weekday after
moons. This is likewise true of other
daylight amusements. The bicycle rae
ing case is different.
At least two opportunities are afford
ed each week, in the evening" to see
the races. 1t will not do to say that
workingmen cannot so on week nights,
because they have to work the next
day. The same proposition applies with
equal force to Sunday evening. Be-
sides. the program is finished at a rea-
sonably early hour. so that people who
are obliged to rise early are afforded an
opportunity to get plenty of sleep.
In the final analysis, Sunday night
bicycle racing would injure a sport that
has become immensely popular in this
city. 1t is a fine, clean amusement.
Perhaps the riders now and then ar
range a race to suit themselves, but
that doesn't interfere with the pub,ic's
amusement, and there has never been
enough of the fixed racing to cause
serious comment. The races draw peo-
pie out into the cool, pure air of the
early evening, and send them home
ready for sound nights sleep.
We would be sorry for anything to
happen that would tend to make the
racing unpopular, and we must again
express our belief In the wisdom of the
chiefs action in cutting off the Sunday
night programs.

MO SUNDAY RACING.

The Herald believes a great majority
of the people of Salt Lake City will en-
dorse the attitude of Chief of Police
sheets on the matter of Sunday night
bicycle racing. The chief so rarely does
anything OF which the general public
can properly approve that we hasten to
give him credit in this instance We
must say, though, that he was hardly
fair to the managers of the saucer
track. The announcement that a race
meet would be held on Sunday evening
was publicly made last Thursday night.
A campaign of advertising was car
ried on on the understanding, without
authority. that there would be no in
~arference. IL was not until ticket SELL

bryan AND THE PRESIDENCY.

During the course of his recent trav-
els in the east. Mr.. Bryan has been
asked as to his probable candidacy for
the presidency next year a good many
times. The query is a natural one,
since large number of people are in
terested in his reply. and yet it seems
superfiuous to have il repeated so often
and with so little variation in the re-
suit.
1t has been understood for a long
while that Mr. Bryan would be candi-
date if the conditions of nomination
end support were satisfactory, but it is
also known that the conditions cannot
be fully outlined until the issues of the
next campaign are more fully made up.
At no time has Mr.. Bryan said he de-
sired the nomination unqualif1edly; on
the contrary, his public utterances have
indicated a determination to remain
unembarrassed by his ambition for the
presidency. No man anxious for a
great office and willing to sacrifice con-
viction 10 eXpediency would be so
frankly outspoken as is Mr. Bryan, so
Indifferent to the effect of his views on
his personal fortunes. In this regard
he has been unique among politicians,
and TO this trait of his character he
owes in large part his failure as a can
didate as well as his hold on the con-
hdence of the people. Looking over the
list of men who have achieved the
presidency, one does not recall any
man since Lincolns day who has had
so little of the trimmer about him or
so small a regard for the evasions and
shifty lodging of issues commonly
called policy.
For all his impolicy, Mr.. Bryan has
been easily the most influential man of
his day in either party, He has been
far in advance of public opinion al
ways, and to his influence, more than
10 any other factor, is due the public
opinion which has made it possible for
Roosevelt to secure legislation en-
bodying Bryan's ideas as to rate regu-
latiOn and the control of piratical cor
porations-a policy for which Bryan
IL. which soHdified opposition and cam
paign contributions from corporations
in behalf of the Republican party And
it is one of the freaks of politics that
the Republicans who opposed Bryan
most bitterly for what they called his
socialistic notions are now ciamoring
and proclaiming loudly their part in
carrying out the very program he first
outlined.
Unless Mr.. Bryan's character has
been misjudged by his admirers, he
would rather remain in private life as
an influential citizen than win the
presidency by any sacrifice of personal
conviction; and IT is certain In advance
that he will refuse to intrude his own
candidacy on the next national con-
vention if he finds the party unwilling
to follow as far as he would lead In
that event, he would still determine
who should have the nomination, since
he is the strongest leader the party has
today
In way, Bryan is as potent in the
party as Jefferson was after his retire
ment from the presidency, and the
power he has is welded for good quite
as unselhshly. Few men have ever held
more enviable position in the nation:
and it may be questioned whether Mr..
Bryan has much to gain by seeking or
accepting the nomination if it is Of
fered to him.

10 LAY PLANKING

Levy COurtmen Hope Event
uaIly to Build New

Members of the bridge committee Of

poses Of the agitation to have a con-
crete or an asphalt floor placed on the

have the opinions Of engineers that the
structure could not Withstand the
weight of concrete or asphalt flooring

time.
The Levy Courtmen desired 10 place
substantial floor on the bridge, but
being fearful of whether the structure
could stand the strain they obtained
opinions from engineers These opin-
ions are to the effect that It would not
be advisable to put any heavier flooring
than lumber on the bridge, as 1t would
require considerable money to
strengthen il sufficiently to carry q
heavy flooring OF concrete.
Under these circumstances the bridge
committee has decided to have the
bridge gone over carefully so that all
stays and bolts may be examined and

plank flooring win be put down. The
suggestion has been made that the

to get a bond issue that viii enable

As the result Of injuries received

case. and it is expected that he win
recover sufficiently in a few days to

Tchume's Overzealousness in going
outside of his work was responsib BILE
for the accident. Tchume is water
boy for the worzmen engaged in grad

one of the caps upon the ground. Later
while carrying tools he dropped &

knocking Tchume down and burning
his right arm from the thumb to the
shoulder. besides burning the right
side of his face and endangering the
sight of his right eye.
The detonation was heard for sew
