City Holds Until
November.

The jitneys are expected TO return
to their respective lanes today. There
will probably be no more shuttle
cock work for some time, ms Judge
Keith's Injunction viii hold until
November, and very probably longer.
So the public--the strap-hanging pub
lic--may rest assured that their fav-
ored means OF transportation Is here
several months longer.
Judge Wells refused to grant a
permanent Injunction. stopping the
city from interfering with the drivers
and they obtained new temporary in
junction from Judge Keith, which
holds until the State Supreme Court
can review the case.
Many of the independents have
been operating since Monday on a
for hire basis. according to report. A
passenger simply asks a jitneur IL he
will take him up Grove Avenue for
Ave or six or ten cents. The driver
agrees and thus there Is an agreement
to carry for hire. which the city finds
IL hard TO get around.
Chief of Police Werner informed
the drivers that they would have to
consult their lawyers as to ways 10
get around the law; that that wasn't
his business.

fall upon particular adm niStra tiOn of this government to have to under take practically the whole business of final definition. That is what has been attempted by the Congress now about to come to a close. It has attempted the definitions for which the coun- try has been getting ready, or trying to get ready for nearly half a generation.
 Period of Test.
 "It will require a period Of test to determine whether they have success fully defined then or not, but no one needs to have it proved to him that it was necessary to define them and remove the uncertainties, and that the uncertainties being removed, con- mon understandings are possible and a universal cooperation.
 Watch Big Fellow.
 'If my Judgement is correct, nobody has been suspicious of any business merely because 1t was big, but they have been suspicious whenever they thought that the bigness was being used to take an unfair advantage We all have to admit that it is easier for big fellow to take advantage of you than for little fellow to take advan- tage of you; therefore, we instinctively watch the big fellow with a little clos CT scrutiny than we watch the little fellow. But. bond having been given for the big fellow, we can sleep onights.
 ''The era of private business, in the sense of business conducted with the money of the partners--I mean of the managing partners, is practically passed, not only in this country, but almost everywhere. Therefore, almost all business has this direct responsi- bility to the public in general We owe a constant report to the public, whose money we are constantly asking for in order to conduct the business it. self.
 Rules of the Game.
 There are, therefore, I suppose, certain rules of the game. l will men, tion what seems to me some of them. have already mentioned one of them by way if illustration. First of all is the rule of publicity, not doing any thing under cover, letting the public know what you are doing and judge of it according as it is. There are a great many businesses in this country that have fallen under suspicion be- cause they were so secretive, when there was nothing to secret that was dishonorable. Publicity, which is re- quired in sport, is required in busness. Let's see how you are running the game.
 Then, in the second place, there is full equivalent for the money you receive, the full equivalent in ser vice, not trying to skimp in the ser vice in order to increase profits above a reasonable return, but trying to make the profits proportioned to the satisfaction of the people that you

 Our Chief Compulsion.
 Then, in the third place, this game requires something more than ordi- nary sport It requires 8 certain kind of conscience in business, a certain feeling that we are, after all, in this world because we are expected to make good according to the standards of the people who live with. That af ter all, gentlemen, is the chief compul- sion that Is laid on all of us
 Then the fourth rule. as it seems to me, Is the rule of having the spirit or service. I know- men in this city there are men in the scientific bureau of this government whom I could cite who could make very big salaries. but who prefer the satisfaction of do- ing things that will serve the whole community, and doing them just as well they possibly can be done.
