members of other denominations de-nominations to be present The subject sub-ject will be The Divine Authenticity I of the Book of Mormon WHEELS ITo I-To the Editor of The Herald Dear SirAs is well known Chief of Police Davenport some time ago made a request of the fire and police board for two bicycles saying that with their aid one patrolman might be dispensed with and the board referred the request re-quest with a favorable recommendation recommenda-tion to the city council The council referred the matter to a committee and the committee may or may not make a f report on the subject tonight Whether I the wheels are furnished to the department depart-ment at this time or not the request I opens up a wide range for discussion and speculation That the wheels would prove of great service to the officers there can be no doubt Chief Davenport is an experienced experi-enced officer and wheelman and makes no mistake in making his recommendation recommenda-tion In a city where so much area has to be covered by a few patrolmen there is no question but that the wheels would do as much or more than It is claimed they would do The council men if they fail to accede to the request re-quest will doubtless have good reasons for the action but those reasons cannot be on the ground that the wheels would I not be of great assistance to the police department Eventually if not now the bicycle will find Its way into the police department of this city as i already al-ready has in that of other cities o 0 The bicycle Is going everywhere Every Ev-ery wellregulated magazine must nowadays now-adays have special correspondents going go-Ing Around the World Awheel Across Asia on a Bicycle Through Europe Asia Africa Mexico or some other country on a wheel The bicycle ha already been tried in the army and found servicable transmitting trans-mitting dispatches The postmen are beginning to ride it and of the bicycle in politics we have heard much and are destined to hear more Nowadays the wheel voteis a factor of some importance im-portance in the calculations of the ward politician The influence of this vote Is shown by a paragraph taken from a recent article by a New York journalist who says The portent of this vote in Gothaim has just extorted from the commissioner of public works and from the board cf aldermen a plan for spending more than a million dollars dol-lars to provide bicycle roads in the city of New York asphalt pavements mind you connecting the ends of the cityIn other rJords the big granite ring ha been knocked out by the fifteen pound scorcher safety which would be greater cause for municipal selfcon gratulation if two or three asphalt rings had not arisen to contest the field feldhis universal adoption of the bicycle Will make ever and ever so many things different in ever and ever so many ways In years to come As the policeman of the future is to be equipped with a bicycle the burglar of the future will have to add a supply of carpet tacks or broken glass to hlsikltj with which to cover his trail from pur suit or else he will have to be possessed r cJf a wheel and be able to pedal a little fasten than the fleetest man of the police J po-lice force lce force S But there is another aspect of the matter where it seems to me that the twentieth century policeman is going to be at a disadvantage What is he to do with his man when he catches him Suppose for instance a mounted offi I cer arrests a hilarious gentleman of leisure in the suburbs and wants to I get him to the station to book a charge I of drunkenness against him The gen j tleman sits down and wants to argue the matter and does so by telling theJ J officer that his sweetheart is the man In the moon that he is enamored of a young lady known as the sunshine of I Paradise Alley that he Is a thousand dollars from home and without a mile In his pocket that he will not go home I till morning or shows a general disposition dispo-sition to talk on similar subjects I The officer will be obliged to ignominiously igno-miniously dismount He cannot hold I a man up by the coat collar and ride a I wheel at the same time and if the hobo i gets obstreperous and shows a considerable consid-erable degree of proficiency in the fistic art the officer must abandon his wheel leaving it to fail ingloriously tq the dust while he alone and unaided sustains sus-tains the dignity of the force iI I i That is one of the big disadvantages about a bicycle I has no self reliance You must keep it moving or get off of it and If you get off it is an awkward I thing to lead requiring pretty much ail the attention of one hand You I cannot hang its bridle rein on your arm I and saunter slowly along talking to somebody about the weather or your favorite color of eyes and hair No as sure as you get absorbed in such conversation your wheel will very likely forge round in front of you and cause you to become tangled up in the gearing and disturb your mental as well as your physical equilibrium The only feasible way in such cases Is to put the wheel between you and each take hold of the handle bar butt but-t iS method is not entirely satisfactory I Will the bicycle ever figure as prominently promi-nently in poetry and romance as the horse has done I think not Its very name is against it You cant make a heroic highsounding line of poetry containing the word bicycle nor can you find many suitable rhymes for it Islcle will not do for various reasons one of which is that it does not flourish flour-ish during the bicycle season Of course by figures of speech and flights of poetic fancy it may be referred refer-red to as a wheel a winged steed or something of that sort but still i lacks many essential features of a romantic ro-mantic steed I does not lend itself readily to dramatic dra-matic situations As is often pointed out you cannot pose on a bicycle I it were possible to do a heroic deed on one you cannot keep in the saddle and pat Us I neck nor even stand on the ground and throw your arm affectionately I affection-ately over its withers while the crowd applauds your bravery and shouts and hurrahs for wheel and man No you have to get off and hold the wobbly thing still or else let it ft 11 1 to the ground the personification of undignified undigni-fied helplessness Great mighty and useful Is the bicycle
