According TO a story that comes from
Albany, N. T., club lately formed in
that city deserves notice for good
work. When rumor derogatory to
one Of the members Of the club or to
the town or neighborhood starts and
comes to the attention Of any member
the club sets about tracing it bach"
to its beginning and establishing it's
truth or falstty.
We can all sec how that would work.
It il possible that the club rarely gets
the actual source Of q careless or lying
rumor, but it certainly does make men
careful of the gossip they retail and
careful of assertion. When q committee
comes to the person who has been
quietly telling something he heard"
and asks the source Of his information

WHAT OF the JlTNEY7

The jitney and the traction COMPANY
are up before city council OF Des
,5o;nas TO some sort of a show down.
Application by syndicate which pro-
poses to operate motor buses carry
ing twenty-five to thirty passengers
at a iitney fare has brought the ques-
ton up to ordinances regulating the
motor bus service and the city ao-
ministration and the boosters CLUB are
it is said, to be devising such regulation.
The proposition by the syndicate Is 1or
city wide service. The mayor proposes
to offer a resolution providing that
iitney operators shall file bond to
cover damages to their patrons. Far
Their than that he refuses to go ex-
planning that the traction company
having refused to submit to regulation
it would be unfair to force the )itneys
to do something we can not force the
street car company to do.
To this the president Of the trac-
ton company replies that the COM
pany can cut down the service to con-
form to the loss caused it by the oper-
alton of jitneys So Des Moines seems
+o he between the devil and the deep
sea as regards the jitney and street
car.
The situation in Des Moines will be
multiplied in other cities, larger and
smaller which have traction transit.
Like all new things the jitney brings
its troubles and establishes its diff
culties.
bill introduced in the senate by
Frailey Of Ft. Madison proposes to
give cities the right to regulate jitney
buses. Under It's provisions the cit
les may require fixed schedules, and
fixed routes, an indemnity bond against
damage by accident, impose penalties
and have full power to tax and reg
uiate
At that in smaller cities division OF
the business Of transportation holds
possibilities Of trouble for the public
as we'll as the traction interests. In
these towns the business is gathered
by the car from perhaps four blocks
on each side Of the line. Jitneys run
ming on side streets on regular SEIZED
ule will cut the receipts seriously.
The second hand jitney auto with
the big motor bus waiting to step ir
and push It out Of the way is prolific
of the trouble that arrives with all
change.

An exEmplAR OF CHRISTIANITY.

Somebody asked the other day.
Did you ever hear Of a member OF the
bunker church in county poorhouse?'
He might have asked another ques-
ton Have you ever seen or heard OF
a lawsuit between Dunkers?"
The answer would have been the
same. The Dunkers refuse to litigate
and they take care Of their own poor
in the church.
When we are studying the problem
of the poor whom we have always with
US, the bunker method should be given
attention.
When we are desiring greatly peace
on earth and unity and love between
brethren the system of the Dunkers
which precludes lawsuits and settles all
disputes and feuds among THE Breth-
rem" seems one entirely worth interest
