There was a tradition current among our forefathers that ran something like this: All men are endowed ny their Creator with certain inalienable riRhts," but we are getting away from superstition in this good day and time. and are proceeding to alienate the sex that is called the -stronger" from anything to which we happen to take q fancy, This a plea to certain thoughtless, or too proaressive, women to return to the simple faith of our fathers and give back to the sex whose ehivalry mas pleased them at our mercy, at least those comforts which we do not want and cannot use.
 No thoughtful person who patronizes the Montgomery street cars can nave failed to notice how careless are our women in taking more space than N needed for their comfort;s how they scatter all down a car--one on cacn double seat--whiie over-courteous meh aangie from straps, or seek cold com, fort on the platform rather than crown the inconsiderate fair into the spacs they have paid for.
 Now we are perfectly well a"aIs of the fact that those when we gre siefendinR are just men, but they ar work, and they do get tired, ana V would be nothing more than common humanity to squeeze UP a little anQ make room for thena.. Knowing that the average man will stand, rather than aupropriate to himself the few inches of extra space which the aver age woman leaves on q aonhae sse.' why don't the women douDie.up' as v were, and leave some seats Nacan' where weary man may deposlt ns'u- self without apology.
 This is said in no spirit of disloyaI- ty to women. Of course we know mat men need killing, but we do most earnestly protest against their being subjected to slow torture
