JITNEY MEN REFUSE
Twelve of Them Have Asked for a Re-
fund on License.

Twelve jitney drivers have obtain
ed from the jitney business The doz-
en- drivers filed their applications be-
fore Saturday when the time limit
during which refunds could be granted
expired. Restrictions placed on their
business by the revised ordinance is
responsible for their withdrawal, the
drivers claim.
That none of the drivers who have
withdrawn from the jitney field are
members of the jitney union is the as
sertion of Frank Brown, organizer for
the Topeka Industrial council.
But one union member has asked
for a refund on his license" says
Brown. And that one is only dispos-
ing of a small car. As soon as a larg-
er bus that he has ordered arrives he
will be back on the Streets
Members of the jitney drivers
union are firm in their stand to oper-
ate despite any ordinance that the
commission may pass, declares Brown
Tho present ordinance which became
effective last week, while it restricts
the drivers will not drive them out of
business, he says. Plans, however, are
now being laid to secure the repeal of
the law through a referendum.

HYPHEN PASSING!
Topeka Ministers See No Men.
ace From Foreigners.
Puritan a Model American, AS
serts Rev. MIR. Hartman.

1.-THE hyphen" holds no terrors for
Topeka pastors. according to the SER
mons preached Sunday on "Our First
National Citizenship Sunday" the new
holiday inaugurated by the bureau of
naturalization. That was the first OBJ
servance of the new. holiday and many
Topeka ministers preached citizenship
sermons. In nearly every case the
dangers of our large foreign popula-
ton to Americanism were touched
upon, but there was a general agree
ment that the danger of the hyphen
is over-rated and is rapidly passing.
In the sermon THE Sword of the
Lord and Gideon" Doctor Locke, pas
tor of the Euclid Avenue Methodist
Episcopal church, called attention to
the grave difficulties faced by Amer
lea because of her large foreign popu-
lation, but asserted the day of the
'hyphen" is passing.
Doctor Locke has just returned
from New York city. 81 was on Fifth
avenue last Wednesday he told his
congregation, "at the noon hour. Out
Of the sea Of passersby 1 saw hardly
one American face and to one occa-
sion that 1 heard the American Ian
guage spoken there were seventy-five
times that 1 heard the foreign Ian
guages."
Il was appalled, by the mass of for
eigners.
But the next day when : read the
| advertisement of Fourth of July cell
ebration for men and women who in
tend to lose the hyphen' and read
among the list of speakers the names
| or Poles. Russians, Jews, Germans.
Irish, French and English 1 began to
lose my fear of our foreign element.
And when the next day 1 saw a regi-
ment starting for the border and saw
that fully half the men were our for
elgners' l lost my fear utterly
| L believe that our foreign born cit
liens will make as loyal Americans as
our revolutionary forefathers. More
tnan 100000 people in this country
placed their names with the bureau
| or naturalization as candidates for cit
1zenship last year.
Americas greatest contribution to
the world is the Puritan type of man.
I hood" declared the Rev. e. x. Hart
man, pastor of the First United Breth-
rem church, IN his sermon SUNDAY
of a't the Purta perpetu us the tradition
man, land hold it up as model for
our 1orelgn-born residents to pattern
after The Puritan, who believed in
llDerty Tor himself and others, and in
eohsciehce ana Righteousness, is the
true type OF American citizenhood.
IN New York city there are IL. 600
children attending Anarchist Sun6e y
SCHOOLS, where they are being taught
oehefs that are sapping the founda-
tons OF our patriotism Doctor Hart
man asserted. He urged greater inter
est be taken in the patriotic instruc-
ton of the children of foreign horn
parents.
The Bible is the great manual of
patriotism and good citizenship de-
clared DIR. Robert Gordon in his SER
7er-if1 mic
given as the first of the union services
in the First Methodist church last
night.
| we need have no fear of our for
elgn population. In 1864 there were
eight languages spoken in Manhattan.
Some of our very best citizens are our
foreign born There are no class dis
tinctions to being a good American
