For Proper Regulation Of the Jitneys.
From the Los Angeles Tribune

No sensible person affects to deny that
the jitney system of transportation re-
quires municipal regulation. The owners
or the jitney busscs themselves have been
prompt to admit that necessity. The sud
den development of the new industry, that
already has spread over Il considerable
portion of the country. presents serious
problems that must he dealt with effec-
lively. Such regulation as is entered upon,
however. must he framed in the interests
benefit OF rival systems of transportation.
II should be borne in mind that suppress
sion is not regulation.
1t were folly TO blink the fact that the
jitney buss has come to stay. An origi-
nator of the new system. Los Angeles.
has achieved but little in its development.
Other cities have far surpassed it. Pres
emily the three and four-passcnser auto
will give way to busscs capable of accom-
modating ~ and y passengers. Such 5uss-
rs can be operated with greater relative
economy, and in other cities are returning
very great profits. Still in it's youth, the
new industry has not found itself. but IT.
is not doubted that it will become IA per-
manent factor in urban and lnterurban
transportation.
Proper regulation. therefore. becomes es-
sential-regulation planned with an eye
single for the public welfare. 1T Is en-
tirely proper that licenses should be re-
Quired, routes prescribed, the maintenance
of schedules observed and safety require-
lnents be demanded. No discrimination
systems. BY way of instance. why bar
the jitneys from displaying advertising
signs and ALLOW the street railway COM
panies to conduct in and on their cars
an unlicensed advertising business that
does not pay the city a dollar in revenue!
barred, but let them be barred from carS
and jitneys alike.

Let U. Keep Cool.
From the Buffalo News

Let us keep cool as a people. no matte,
what may happen to Americans who may
suffer in the foreign war zone. Suppose
a vessel is destroyed through sailing I'M
der a neutral flag land with Americans on
board who lose their lives. What is our
true policy as u nation In that case? 1t
fident of a settlement on just terms with
out resort to arms.
Whatever damage liz done to American
property. and whatever hurt is visited up
on American citizens. there is a way to
adjust the wrong and make reparation
without war or even i'll feeling on either
side.
The United States Is not looking for
trouble i'm any quarter. II carries no hip
on it's shoulder and will not prove unduly
sensitive over anything that may happen
during the stress and strain of the war.
We are at peace with all the world and
arc determined to walk the ~straightest
line of neutrality to the very end OF the
war period.
The president will do nothing In haste
under any provocatiOn. We should all re-
tain serenity Of mind and GOODNESS Of head
while our position on disputed points, or
points that may he raised herea fter. is
seriously In any of them. We should cher
ish the kindest feelings for all the peoples
at var. but resolutely keep out of 1t our
selves. The highest interests of humanity
require that the United States be in q
position Ia tak the lead when there ia
an outlook for peace.

ROLLED FOR HIS WAD
Frank Morris Reports the Loss of
$4,000 Sunday Night.

Frank Morris, who came to Topeka
to sell potato peelers at the big free
fair, is $2,100 wiser this morning than
he was Sunday night. Morris went
into the bottoms and two negro wo-
men rolled" him for his wad, ac-
cording to the story he told the police.
AS yet no trace of the women who got
the $2100 has been found. Rosetta
McSimms, May Stanford and John
Glover are being held by the police
for investigation in connection with
the robbery.
Several years ago Morris had trou-
BILE with a bank and ever since that
time he has been his own banker.
Whenever he gets any surplus money
he has the money changed into 500
bills In this way he accounts for the
fact that he had 21 500 bills in his
wallet when he went into the bottoms.
The robbery took place near the Shaw
nee mills at Third street and Kansas
avenue.

Last week The Sentinel carried a
story from the Easley Progress telling
how lot of natives Of that benighted
burg were fooled by a awhiskey sharper.
Which reminds us of story they used
to tell in North Carolina about John
Casper, the big distller of that state,
who so recently got into trouble with
Uncle Sam and who is now serving a
long term in Federal prison. 1t was
said he ran an ad. in northern papers,
in which he agreed to ship ''one gallon
or pure old North Carolina corn, jug and
all, for one dollar" And to clinch it.
Mr.. Casper had a picture of Jug of
whiskcy inserted in his ad. The orders
came in fast and furious from every
section of the country, and it was a
common occurrence for him to ship a
car load of jugs a day. In those days
raw corn was very cheap, so Mr.. Cas-
per had thousands of one-gallon jugs
made at factory over at MoravianFalls,
and he filed them with shelled corn!
1t was pure old North Carolina corn, ;"
too. Which was some better than the
branch water handed out to those Easley
boys. They say that's the way Mr..
Casper got his start IN the dstilling
business in Winston- Salem. But riches
have wings and fly hence and the pelf
acquired dishonesty generally flies the
fastest and fartherest, as will be seen
by the downfall of onc-time great
whiskey distiler.
