JUNIOR CHAMBERS IITNEY PETITION IS GIVEN CITY BOARD
Commissioner Barrett Con- Siders Investigation of h. formation Source, Then
 Sets Matter for Gen.
 eraI Consideration

Junior Chamber of Commerce sources of information as to the req son for the filing of a petition for increased car fare aroused the curi- osity yesterday of Dr. N. A. Bar rett, president of the city commis- sion,
 The organization sent copies of resolutions adopted at a recent meet ing. charging that the commission was to blame for the increaese, if it came. because of failure to regulate the jitneys.
 Some time ago the commission was informed by Lee C. Bradley that the company would make no promise to reduce fares or to keep them where they were # the commission regu- lated the jitneys as Commissioner H. ?. Burruss proposed.
 Minor Fact
 II was pointed out that when MT. Bradley issued his statement setting forth reasons for asking the in crease, he declared the jitneys were a minor factor in bringing about the need for higher car fare.
 Dr. Barrett first requested that the city clerk be instructed to make for nal inquiry as to the source of in- formation. He then changed his mind and the resolutions were referred to the whole commission.
 Amendments to the jitneys ordi- nance passed yesterday were adopted by a four to one vote, Commissioner Burruss declaring that he could not consistently vote for any feature of a measure which does not regulate.
 Three new routes were designated. It was made compulsory for drivers of jitneys to report all accidents. unless they were too badly injured to do so.
 New Jitney Routes
 Montevallo Road Route-Starting at Sixth avenue, south, and Monte- vallo road, the southern terminus of the route, east on Sixth avenue to Eighteenth street, then north on Eighteenth street to Fourth avenue, north.
 Norwood Boulevard Route-Start- ing at First avenue and Ninteenth street, north, the southern terminus of the route, proceed to Twenty first street, then to Fifth avenue, north. thence to Twenty y-sixth street, to Twelfth avenue to Vanderbilt road to the north roadway of Norwood boulevard to Thirty street to Twelfth avenue to Twenty sixth street to Fifth avenue to Nineteenth street to First avenue. north

CARDINAL. GIBBONS

Cardinal Gibbons, whose death was chroniced
yesterday, would have been a great man III any
of lifes vocatons. He was much more than
views His sympahles were world wide. His in
iere:ts embraced all human activities.
Politics in its best sense interested him deeply.
He was intimately familiar with the world prob
lens involved in the recent war, and performed
valuable services to humanity in pointing out the
niquity of Germany's war aims and arraying the
sentiment of the church in America against them.
His influence in national affairs was far greater
than is generally supposed He believed in progress,
and sponsored progressive legislation His long In
timacy with President Roosevelt indicates the &C
hive and energetic trend of his mind. Though be-
longing to the profession supposed to be least active
in worldly affairs, he loved activity and kept in
touch with the most vigorous of the race.
So many things are accomplished in this world
by hidden agencies that no Just estimate of his
semi-public services can be made at this time 1t is
safe to say, however that when the true history
of his career is known it will be discovered that
few men. even among the nation leading states
men, accomplished greater things in shaping and
directing the policy of the government than he.
This is not in the least to his dscredit His per-
sonalty, his superior ability. his high rank in the
church. his age and character all combined to in
vest him with an immense influence, and the inter
csts of humanity required that this influence be
used, as it was, on the side of what he conceived
to be right, justice, progress and the common
good, whenever questions involving those issues
before the country or the world Such men
among the permanent assets of the race

OF four; they may be long upon the way, but they
will reach your shack some day. you may full

out; your cherished pep may disappear, your
aunt may come to spend year. And when the
day of sorrow dawns, and you are numbered will.
the pawns with which Misfortune idly plays how
much cold money can you raise? Are your re-
sources merely dreams of money thrown away
in streams? Twas but little while ago that
every gent had lots of dough the worker drew
princely hire and wore out a costly Tyre be-
seechng him to save the mon while it was COM
ing by the ton. Some wise .hoys listened to my
reed and sailed down their chicken feed: but
nine gay fellows out of ten just threw away the
iron men; and when the boom went up in smoke
the cold gray morning found them broke. To
blow the useful money init is our great beset-
ting sin, and so the wolves of famine yell where
peace and comfort ought to dwell
