THE TWO-PLATOON

One matter that was decided with out question at the last old-time city meeting, so pregnant of questions, was that the people favored the adoption of the two platoon system for the fire men and for the city. Some may have favored it because they wanted fire men to be in condition to give all that was in them to protecting the city; others may have favored it because they wanted to give the f1remen de- cent hours.
 Whatever the reason, 1t was favored.
 Times have grown harder since that city meeting Nevertheless a promise was then made to the firemen by tht people of the city, and to break z promise should shame a city. Bremen as we'll as merchants ant professional men recognize that times have not improved as compared witl times as they were then. The revers is the case Bremen as we'll as other

"JEST RUMINATIN'." !" (RObert Russeu.)

Some dazzle, razzle, jazzle in most everythin' they do; Iy you don't keep their jizzie step they say they're through with you.
 You've got to spout your syl- fables in syncopated time; You've got to write your senti- ments in wierd, fantastic rhyme.
 If you describe a sunset you must jazz about the shade That soothes the woodland soft ness. glorifies each forest glade.
 When you describe some noble deed you've got to jazz that. too,
 Or else they throw you from their class-an awful thing to do.
 For them we ought to write like this: That doggie- -toggie Tray
 Gave upie up his foolish life his lifie-life today; He saw his master, master mass-his master in the flames,
 And so he played the bestiest, the bestiest O games. He dashie dashed straight to the man-the maniean he saved,

 seems it is necessary to say that this court is inclined in favor of declaring the law constitutional. From this it would follow that the jitneymen Whc have certificates granted by the P.

should be willing to make some sacriice-should be wiling to accept a two-platoon system as inexpensive for the city as it is possible to make it, and still have the promise carried
 out.
 The disorganized fire commission should take stock of these things. It should try to present plan that will carry out. the city's promise, at the same time saving the city as much as possible.
 The mayor should take these things into consideration. However he may have considered himself sighted by the commissioners, rightly or wrongly he should remember the promise made to these men and should be too big to prevent the carrying out of this promise, because of personal pioue over the situation.
 The two-platoon system was to %
 into operation by October 1. Every effort should be made by everyone concerned. to see that a reasonable compliance with the promise be made

THE JITNEY CASE.

It is impossible to forecast the de- cision of a court, even after close at tendance at trial It may be quite possible for a lawyer to tell what tho eventual decision will be, after all appeals are taken, If he has before him the complete records of the case and library to consult in which m " be found all the cases bearing upon the points raised. s. z
 But from a courts: attitude, from the questions asked by the judges, and by the eagerness with which they llisten to a discussion of certain points and the inattention they give to others, | it may be possible to tell some thing of what decision will be.
 | From these signs it may be said that the decision will be in favor of the constitutionality of the law which gives the Public Utilities power to regulate the jitneys, even to the ex- tent of prohibiting their operation in certain routes.
 No court indicates to an attorney that his argument upon a certain point
 is unnecessary unless the court is
 firm in itS opinion that his contention is right One report of the trial has
 it that when Attorney General Healy attempted to show that the state had !, the right to control the use of the highways, the court informed him l,;.
 When the Attorney General tried to show that the legislature had a right
 to delegate it's power to a commission it was indicated that this argument
 was unnecessary also.
 The law will be held constitutional therefore, in regard to it's attempt to do these two things-regulate the use of the highways and delegate that
 authority to a commission; Two of the
 main points in the case.
 At another point in the argument after Robert J. Woodruff, for the jit ; neymen, had admitted that the legis lature has the power to license auto Q mobiles and that it has the power tt eSLaDll routes TOT SQCn l1CeuScu IIld y chimes, the court remarked '"The, = you conceed the rest, do you not?' . Thus, it is believed, the questioning o judge indicated his opinion that M, o Woodruff's admissions had been cor : rect and that from them it follewet
 logically that l1e should admit that tn Q state had right to open the highway to some and not to others. This, o course, MT. Woodruff denied excep
 under certain conditions.
 u An interesting contention whic
 may affect the decision of the cour
 was brought out Iii tne argument ths
 the Commission is authorized to issu
 the certificates in certain cases, sue
 as public demand, but that it is nc
 obliged to do so.-it may graI -e certificates not that it shall gran 'e certificates"

THE DIFFERENCE. The smiling faces of people
 We pass from day to day Are the glowing lamps of gladness That guide us along the way. The drowning features of mortals We meet in the black of night Are the inky blots of horror
 That turn us away with fright The flaming glance of a comrade Repels, as two-edged knife; But the kindly heart of 8 stranger Will make us friend for life.
