Letters From the People
SMOKING on srREETcAKs

Editor Call: The supervisors could
settle the question of smoking on
streetcars by adopting the method used
by railroads to meet that problem. The
streetcar company could be made TO
run special smoking cars In the morn
ing and evening. The smoking cars
could be designated by a sign: Gentle
men onIy-smoking allowed" The
regular cars could bear the sign: La
dies and gentlemen-no smoking" The
great majority of the men would prefer
to ride with the ladies.
So few men would patronize the
smoking cars that they could be dis
pensed with in a few weeks.
I would suggest also that cars be.
run with this sign upon them: Work
ingmens cars" Every man would be
provided with seat in them and
would not have to give his place to
lady.
Mr.. Calhoun has signiied his inten-
tion of supporting the administration
and he would gladly comply with the
provisions of such ordinances. The
women, too, would unite in recommend
ing the passag of such ordinances.

This protest is the final. definite.
positive refusal to let American

because the Chinese have preju-

that they do have a prejudice
