Regulate, Bat Do Not Outlaw the Jitneys
THE peoplo of Philadelphia are not hostllo
to the Rapid Transit Company. They
want to glvo It a fair deal and they want
It to glvo thorn a fair deal.
In tho statement to Councils relative to Jit
neys, It Is pointed out that tho transit com
pany's property "Is seriously threatened by a
form of competition which represents no capi
tal, pays no wages, owes no duties to tho pub
lic, but which carries on a catch-as-catch-can
business In fair weather, taking from
the transit company, which must at all times
bear tho burden of tho transportation prob
lem, thnt portion of tho business In which
there Is a profit, namely, tho Bhort rider."
That statement Is to somo extent exag
gerated, but In Its essentials It Is correct.
On the other hand, bad or no service In some
sections of tho city renders tho Jitneys a
public "convenience. They have earned for
themselves, too, n well-defined place In
passonger transportation.
To permit them, however, to roam the
strcots at will, unregulated and irresponsible,
would bo the worst sort of folly. Not only
is tho transit company entitled to some pro
tection against wild competition, but tho
public nlso may logically object to an orgy
of these vehicles, blocking the main high
ways and rendering the trafllc problem acute.
It is obvious that quick measures must
bo taken to put tho Jitney business on a
reputnblo basis, to regulate It and exact from
it some stability, financial and otherwise.
Just what form tho regulation should toko
and what the ultimate place of tho Jitney
In transportation Is, nre subjects for dis
cussion. Tho main thing now is to dovlse
some plan. It will be experimental, but that
cannot be helped.
The Jitneys must not bo run out of busi
ness and the Jitneys must not bo allowed
to run the transit company out of business.
Chicago Has a Mayor
THE voters of Chicago made no mistake
when they elected William Hale Thomp
son Mayor last spring. He Is evidently a
man with a proper appreciation of his re
sponsibilities. No other kind of man would have had tho
nervo to assemble the disputants In the street
railway strike nnd then lock them In a room
until they had agreed to resume the opera
tion of tho street cars and to settle their dif
ferences without Inconveniencing tho whole
; ) city. It Is reported that he used force to pre
vent the president of the traction company
from leaving the room. The report Is credible.
The resumption of street car trafllc waB of
enough Importance to Justify all tho forco
that t was In the power of the Mayor to use.
He had the police back of him nnd, if that
failed, he had tho militia of the State, and if
that failed It was possible to ask the assist
ance of tho United States army in protecting
every man who was willing to operate a car
and every citizen who had to use, the cars to
get to business. '
One determined man has demonstrated
What can be done In a crisis, Just as weak
kneed men have demonstrated time after time
what ought not to bo done. Wo take off our
hat to Mayor Thompson and wish him long
Jlfe and happiness. Ho will get ,such further
political preferment as tho people, who are
delighted with a real" man when they nnd
one, ore pleased to give him.
Martial Amenities
THE human beast still has some klndll
ness in him, despite war's demoralization.
It may take a threat of reprisals to bring
England to her senses In the matter of her
absurd treatment of the German submarine
crews as a new and sinister variety of prls
oners of war, something close to Indicted
murderers. But Germany has struck a note
of genuine respect for fellow humanity In
the ereotion of a monument at Noyers, ded
icated in both German and French, to the
soldiers of victors and vanquished who fell
at the orosstng of the Meuse. A few more
such memorials to two "Fatherlands" would
do much to lay the vicious anger which this
"war of defnaga?" has raised.
Uses of Submarines Limited
THE submarine Is a raider, not a fighter.
So far Is It from destroying the value of
battleships and other surface ships that
not in months has & war vessel been
the victim of a submarine, except in isolated
instances whan the presence of the im.
mersible was unsuspected Not only have
the English been able to prevent the de
structioa of their naval hip and raduee
the lose of commercial vessels to a minimum,
but they nave actual transported hundreds
of thousands of UgjLtJfee Continent with
out i be loss ojyBBBpniBftpart or a single
life. The submaIKpr deadly when It can
sneak up on aa unsuapaatlna (stray, it is
jwwiically powerless at aigM, and in Lbs
4jyUa it is Impotent in the face of a vlgt

him on the alert, necessitates his remaining
far from shore and requires a. large detail
of smaller vessels to guard the primary
units of a blockading fleet. It has a valua
In this way, asldo from Its use as ft com
merce destioyer.
But the assumption that the submarine
has revolutionized naval warfaro to the ex
tent that the Introduction of the monitor and
Ironclad did Is not at all Justified. Not the
submerslblcs but the surface ships deter
mine the Control of the seas now as formerly.
That this Is true the entire diplomatic at
titude of Germany testifies, as do tho cut
cables ond the Inability of the empire to im
port cither food or munitions of war.
However necessary It may be, therefore,
for the United States to Increaso Its sub
marine equipment, bucIi Increase will not
meet the need for a greater navy. Wo must
havo capital ships also, fast cruisers and tor
pedoboats to act as a defense ngalnst
such submarines as an enemy might bring
against us.
Councils Arranges for Stated Meetings
THE program of Councils, as evidenced by
Its nctlon yesterdny, appears to bo to
stand by its contract with tho peoplo nnd
permit tho beginning of subway construc
tion this summer.
It has provided for two stated meetings,
which Is a doublo precaution against a tech
nical blockado of action. It has, In a word,
mot tho situation, ns It now presents Itself,
In tho manner desired of It.
What remains to bo dono Is entirely
formnl, Councils has reiterated and reaf
firmed Its contract. It is irrevocably dedi
cated to tho beginning of construction work
this summer. It is with relief that tho peo
plo see the barriers to tho great enterprise
melting away.
At last real rapid transit seems to bo
actually In sight.
Co-Operation Is Not Intervention
PERHAPS a careful study of tho situa
tion created by tho landing of COO marines
In Mexico to protect an American colony that
Is menaced by tho Indians In the YnquI
Volley mny suggest some way out of the
complications across the border. Tho marines
are not Intended to attack nny of tho wings
of the revolutionary party fighting for pos
session of tho government of tho country.
They nre Intended to co-operato with tho VII
llsta commander In that part of Mexico In
suppressing an outbreak of the Yoqul In
dians. That Is, they aro to assist In policing
a certain section of tho country with tho con
sent und assistance of tho revolutionary lead,
ers there. The pollco protection is to bo ex
tended to American citizens, but tho Mexlcnn
citizens will nlso profit by tho restoration of
order if such restoration is possible.
There are precedents for such co-operntlon.
Jchn Hny established tho most distinguished
one when ho suggested that American troops
be sent to Peking during tho Boxer insurrec
tion to "assist" tho wily old Dowager Em
press in restoring order In the Chinese capi
tal and in preventing tho Boxers from mur
dering Americans and other foreigners. It
takes a statesman to discover the right word
to describe a necessary process of govern
ment. Married Men at the Front
ENGLISHMEN with families agreed somo
time aqo to enlist If their services were
needed. The request for such pledges may
or may not have been mado to test tho war
spirit of the nation, but the married Eng
lishmen responded, if not with enthusiasm,
certainly with a determined purposo to seo
the thing through, now that tho issues aro
drawn.
Tho unmarried men, however, nre not so
patriotic, Home-makers who gavo their
word are being called to tho colors, and there
is a widespread feeling of contempt for those
bachelors who are remaining at home in
comfort Instead of responding to tho genernl
summons. (
The bachelor usually has none but himself
to care for. Ho can tnlk war with a feeling
that If It comes and he should enlist no
women and children will bo left In need
when he Is gone. But no married man with
any sense of his responsibilities will urge his
nation Into wnr unless there Is grave cause.
The Out-door Cure
THIS week a man who has spent his life In
banking ofllces starts on a 10,000-mile
canno trip. Up the Hudson to Albany,
through the Erie Canal to tho Great Lakes
and westward until some inland stream
shall have taken him half his distance; a
lone man In the frailest of boats conquering
days of gruelling work against head currents,
spinning along through favorable water with
an exhilaration only second to the whole con
ception of the trip.
And all for what? His eyes. He must
have a year In the open to save his sight.
Very few of us can afford the time or the
cost of a hundredth part of such a trip; and
few, Indeed, are fortunate enough to pay
their way, as this man will do, with articles
for a sporting magazine. But the-out-of-doora
holds a cure for all of us, mental as
well as physical, and It will render it up on
easy terms, If only we seek It out.

Of luxuries their business would boom.

(The author of the following article, a lead
ing authority on matters pertaining to mu
nicipal science and progress, presents a num
ber of suggestive facts as to the considera
tion which one great city is giving Its em
ploye. Large private corporations are de
voting more and more attention to what Is
generally called "the human element" In
business, and the. movement seems to have
reached the city governments. What is being
done by one municipality In the way of meet
ing Its problems and enhancing its efficiency
It of real Interest and value to the people of
other munclpalltlci.)
By CLINTON ROGERS WOODRUFF
UNDER tho present administration In New
York city much Important work is being
dono for tho welfaro of tho city's em
ployes. In the first place, tho Sinking Fund
Commission has passed a resolution allotting
space In thra Municipal Building for a lunch
room for the women employes of tho city.
This lunchroom Is self-supporting nnd Is run
under the supervision of a commlttco of
womrn orgnnl7cd and selected by the women
themselves. The city gives the privilege of
space, heat and light frco for this purposo.
This Is the first attempt, I believe, of nny
city to supply n convcnlcnco that Is now com
monly supplied by largo corporations.
An employes' conference commlttco has been
organized. This committee Is representative
of both the classified nnd unclassified servlco
nnd consists of representatives chosen di
rectly by the employes and a representative
chosen by the heads of departments. It Is
hoped that a great deal will bo accomplished
by this1 conference committee to bring nbout
a better relation and understanding between
tho Government and Its employes.
Safe From tho Loan Shark
Semimonthly payment of salaries has been
established In a number of tho departments
where nn analysis showed that tho majority
of employes wero In favor of changing from
monthly to semimonthly. This chango In
system has been long ndvocated by tho
various civil service papers In New York,
particularly for tho police nnd fire depart
ments, on tho plen that It will save a great
many city employes from applying to loan
shnrks nnd loan agencies for funds to carry
them through the month.
Tho Comptroller has also established a
system of having on each payday an amount
of cash ready In the paymaster's ofllco suf
ficient to pay off n largo majority of tho
checks. This has been found a great con
venience by the employes who formerly had
to change their checks at different stores
nnd In cases of men, In saloons, when It In
variably happened n certain expenditure had
to be made In order to got tho desired ac
commodation.
Tho Department of Health has Instituted
a system of periodical physical examination
of Its employes. The Chamberlain's ofllce, un
der tho leadership of Henry Bruere, who has
been a moving spirit In all this welfaro work.
Is also taking up this question and such
servlco will be avnllablo to any other de
partment desiring it. Tho examinations will
lie made by physicians cither on the Health
Department payroll or from tho Municipal
Civil Service Commission.
On Mny V) Commissioner Goldwatcr opened
an educational lunchroom for tho employes
of his department, which offers meals at
cost prices and will endeavor to promote
education In matters of food and nutrition.
New York University has conducted during
the year. In the Municipal Building, courses
In various subjects of valua to city employes.
Employes wero permitted to attend these
courses once or twlco a week, from 4 to C
o'clock, one hour on their own time. There
was an overage attendance of 227 through
out the tprm. In addition tho university has
nrranged a scries of engineering courses,
"ith the ndvlco of a committee of city engi
neers. So far atr I know theso courses, which
wero Initiated nt the suggestion of Mayor
M'frhel and Mr. Bruere, are tho first serious
attempt made to provide special training for
municipal employes outside the pollco and
fire departments.
A Trial Board
Tho president of tho borough of Manhat
tan has established a trial board for tho
employes of his department, consisting of
two executives and two fellow-employc3
drawn by lot.
During the past year the city has spent
about 150,000 In the most thorough investi
gation yet made of pension systems, includ
ing an examination into the condition of tho
existing pension plans of the city of New
York, under which an annual disbursement
of 4,900,000 is made, together with an actu
arial computation of a properly financed pen
sion plan, based upon the service and vital
statistics of the entire city service from 1908
to date, affecting 130,000 employes.
This work will serve as a model to the
scores of pension funds throughout tho
United States which have been established
without reference to ultimate cost, and
which for the most part are In the bankrupt
condition In which most New York funds
nnd themselves. The teachers' fund, whose
deficiencies aro not made up from city ap
propriations, is now In Buch condition thtt
it is forced to reorganize because pf its In
ability .to meet its "obligations. Th.fi work of
the Pension Commission is perhaps tho most
promising of all undertakings for tho ulti
mate welfare of the civil servlpe, both-from
the standpoint of the government and of the
employes, - r

STORIES OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE
Anecdotes Illustrative of Traits of Mind and Character of the
Corsican Conqueror Who Met His Waterloo One Hundred
Years Ago Today.
A YEAH of great events was tho year 1815
from the battlo of New'Orleans to tho for
mation of tho Holy Alliance. In that period
enmo tho Hundred Days, Waterloo and tho
complete rrshaping of tho map of continental
Eutope. Napoleon landed on French soil on
the first day of March, on his return from
Elba. Today Is tho centenary of the battle of
Waterloo. Tho following anecdotes of Napo
leon Bonaparto have been collected from
various sources:
Perhaps the purest passion of his llfo was
his youthful dream of freeing Corsica from
the clutch of the government that was edu
cating him. In moments of the greatest peril,
he could not listen unmoved to any words
that reminded him of Corsica. And In those
last dcsolnto years on St. Helena, ho could
still smell, ho said, tho sweet scent of the Cor
sican hillsides, the fragrance of the tangled
underbrush that tho winds carry far out to
sea.
Tho boy was leaving Corsica, but not Its
Influence. He had been In Franco but a fow
weeks when somo French lads told him that
the Corslcans were cownrds. Fire flashed In
tho boy's eyes ns ho replied that if the
French had been four to one, thoy would
never havo beaten down tho Corsican resist
ance. Thoy had triumphed because they wero
ten to one.
"But you had a good general, Paoll," said
his tencher.
"Yes, sir," was the lad's answer. "I should
llko to grow up to bo llko him." From
"Bonaparte," by Job and Montorgueil.
Bonaparte in London
Tho Adelphl, which is being largely rebuilt,
possesses a plausible claim to have be"en tho
London residence of Napoleon Bonaparte. Mr.
Matthews, grandfather of tho comedian,
Jnmes Colman, a centenarian denizen of Lei
cester Square, nnd several Strand tradesmen,
all declared that they remembered meeting
"tho Corsican usurper" during a five weeks'
visit ho paid to England. These authorities
agree that ho lodged In George street, Adelphl,
but differ whether the year was 1791 or 1792.
Tho supposed Napoleon "passed most of his
time in walking through tho streets." Hence,
perhaps, his marvolous knowledge of London,
which used to astonish many Englishmen. He
occasionally took his cup of. chocolate at a
coffee house opposite Northumberland House,
where "ho occupied himself In reading," and
"preserved a taciturnity provoking to gentle
men In the room." From tho Pall Mall Ga
zette. Before his coronation the marshals he
had created a few months before came to
pay him a visit, all gorgeously arrayed. The
splendor of their costumes, In contrast with
his simple uniform, mado him smile. I was
standing at a little distance 'from him, and
as ho saw that I smiled also, he said to me
In a low tone;
"It s not every one who has the right to be
plalrily dressed."
Presently the marshals of the army began
disputing among themselves about the great
question of precedence. Their pretensions
were very welt founded, and each enumer
ated his victories. Bonaparte, while listening
tn them, again glanced at me.
"I think," said I, -"you must have stamped
your foot on France, and Bald, 'Let all the
vanities arise from the spll, "
"That is true,'.' he replied, "but It Is for.
tunate that the French are to be ruled
through their vanity." From "Memoirs of
Mme. de Remusat."
No Need of a Dentist
Having washed his face and hands, he
picked his teeth very carefully with a box.
wood toothpick and then brushed them for
some time with a brush dipped In opiate;
went over them again with fine tooth powder
and rinsed his mouth with a mixture ef
brandy and fresh water. ' Jt was to
these minute precautions that he attributed
ths perfect preservation of all his teeth,
which were beautiful, strong and regular.
During the whole of tjls reign he never ap
peared to have had rsoourse, except for seal
ing, to Dubois, bis surgeon dentist, home on
the list for WW francs, and a recipient of a
gold travelog oas, the Instruments In which
wsre for ths exclusive use ef the Emperor.

himself as to others; his spelling was very
defcctlvo. Ho utterly lacked patlenco to do
anything whatever with his own hands. Tho
extreme activity of his mind nnd the habitual
prompt obedienco rendered to him preventod
him from practicing an occupation in which
tho mind must necessarily wait for tho ac
tion of the body.
Thoso wno wrote from his dictation first
M. Bourrienne, then M. Menovnl, hl3 private
secretary had mado a sort of shorthand for
themselves, in order that their pens might
travel as fast as his thoughts. Ho dictated
while walking to and fro in his cabinet. When
ho grow angry, ho would uso violent Impreca
tions, which wero suppressed In writing, and
which had at least tho advantage or giving
tho writer tlmo to como up with him.
Ho never repeated anything that he had
onco said, even If it had not boen heard; and
this was very hard on tho poor secretary, for
ho remembered accurately whnt ho had said
and detected every omission. From "Me
moirs of Mme. do Remusat."
The Mnn Who Was Longer
One day in a library Napoleon attempted
to reach a book far above him on tho shelf.
A tall courtier took the book down with this
excusa:
"Pardon, Sire, I am taller (higher) than
you."
"No, only longer!" snapped the Emperor.
From "The Napoleon Story," by Wayne
Whipple. .
When the steward of his Tuilleries palace
was exhibiting the new upholstery with
praises and demonstrating how glorious It
was and how cheap withal, Napoleon, mak
ing little answer, asked for a pair of scissors,
clipped one of tho gold tassels from a window
curtain, put it In his pocket and walked on.
Some days afterward he produced It nt tho
right moment, to the horror of his upholstery
functionary; it was not gold but tinsel!
From "Heroes and Hero Worship," by
Thomas Carlyle.
If the work which gavo him a constant feel
ing of the possession of power absorbed him
so much that all preoccupation of the feeling
disappeared, need we be astonished that ha
impoaea tne same sllejice upon his physical
wants? Ono is compelled to ask If he had
any such regular and urgent wants. At least
he had no fixed time for satisfying them. He
had control over his stomach, or rather ho
forgot that he had one, and ate when there
was something to eat, in an absent manner
nnd thinking of the work which he had laid
aside and was anxious to take up again.

AS TO INSULTS
From the Boaton Globe.
Tho quotation, "No gentleman would Imultl
mo; none other can," Is crodlted to John '
yumcy Adams, Who Is said to have made the
reply when he was told that a man had
spoken to him so rudely that ho ought to send
a challenge to a duel, and It Is said olao to
havo been used by Senator W. II. Seward, In
a debate growing out of tho assault upon Sen
ator Sumner by Preston Brooks, in 1856 and
1857, but it Is pointed out that the quotation,,
"A moral, sensible, well-bred man

BALLAD OP KING'S TRIUMPH
"Call mo my minstrel," said tho king,
"And lot him sing a glee.
For I havo won this summer day
A mighty victory.
"Between tho tides of dawn and dusk
Upon a field I stood
And saw my gallant swords drink deep
Of body nnd of blood.
"So bid my merry minstrel in,
With lute and sliver thong,
And let him tako my stained sword
And sheatho it in a song!"
The minstrel came, an ancient man.
And smote a silver string.
"Oh, gallant is the victory
And mighty is tho klngl
"At dawn he rode with all his knights
Into a virgin field.
At dusk the blood of honest men
Was stained upon his shield.
"And In tho houses of his foes
A thousand leagues away.
The hearts of women bled and broke
. Upon a summer's day."
"What song is this7" the monarch cried,
"What sorrow dost thou sing?"
"Why, only of the victory
That crowned my lord the king."
The minstrel smiled a fleeting smile,
And smote a splendid chord.
"Oh, gallant is the use of arms
And mighty is the sword!
"For on this day a greening Held
Was won at crimson cost;
And what the gods of war havo gained
Tho loves of men have lost.
"And many a heart of friend and foe
Has broken on this day.
And children starve and women weep,
A thousand leagues away!
"Then cry the triumph to the stars
And let the heavena rlngl
For gallant la the victory!
And mighty la the klngl"
Dan. Burnet, In N, T. Brenins Bun.
