Woman Says Jitneys Have Performed
Real Service During Street Car
STRIFE.

Strike.
To the Editor Of THE TINES:
In answer to an article recently pub
lished in your paper, advocating the
regulation OF the so-called 'jitney
buses" I would like to say that. as
am a frequent rider on the so-called
buses and have been since the recent
strike. can speak from personal ex-
perience.
The jitneys running in one section
OF the city are all that can be desired
operated by competent drivers,
charging a straight Scent fare, and are
not run promiscuously on any street.
but have q specified route. And as for
rowdys. have failed yet to see one.
1t may be true that they do at rush
hours carry an overload of passengers,
but has H. z. }. ever ridden on the
cars during rush hours7 II so. why
complain OF the jitney service? For
what could be more annoying and I'M
comfortable than hanging on a strap,
oftentimes being thrown from one soc
TO the other, in many instances jostled
and have to come in close contact
with all kinds and all classes. to say
nothing OF the foul air.
There are a great many women
using our jitney line. and I'm sure II
conditions were such as stated by H.
E. ]. they would not tolerate IT. am
confident II We had more jitneys they
would be crowded just the same dur
ing certain hours. 1t only proves that
a great many OF us don't mind the lit
tie inconvenience that may occur
once in q while, but go our separate
ways and forget about them.
I've also noticed many times that
gentlemen occupying the same jitney
with women have treated them with
the utmost respect and courtesy.
Most OF the jitneys now in use. be-
lieve, are being operated by the strik-
ers, for the use OF their sympsthizing
friends and the public. And they have
been a great convenience in many
ways. In using them one must bear
in mind that they are not riding in
limousines and be willing to put up
with the little annoyances that occa-
sionally arise.
So have a heart" H. z. j., and
please don't, in the only thought of
self, try to chill the enthusiasm of
these men by throwing cold water on
their efforts: but. instead, extend to
them the glad hand and help the cause
along. MRS. NJ. ". G.

URGES QUICK FOOD CONTROL
Delay Increases Danger and Plays
Enemy's Game.

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
Inc tax upon tea, coffee, cocoa, ana
sugar, contemplated by our Govern
ment. II placed means a direct blow
to our nations vital organs, mas
much as 1t will add great stress to
the dangerous tension that has al
ready been caused by the unnecessary
high cost Of food. The danger point
Is reached and the wage earning
classes are growing and snarling In
one mass against our Government
ready to spring at any moment when
an efficient leader will arise and
lead them and the undercurrent of
German influence is growing every
moment stronger and only too glad
to furnish all the leaders they need.
l speak from facts I have CLEANED
from association with the working
classes and / cannot but believe our
Government, Icing so far apart from
these demonstrations, entirely under
rates the dangerous peril that lies
at our door. giving to Germans a
golden opportunity through the large
German population here to wreck our
Government and its institutions.
We would consider any individual q
fool who would try TO economize
by starving his horse or his COW when
he depended upon II for a living. Yet
our Government Is doing a worse
thing, for II not only decreases the
wealth producing element of our
country, but is causing suffering, sick
ness. and disease from which emanate
crime. slothfulness. and inefficiency.
Take a lesson from Germany which
controls her food supplies so effici-
entity that all her people, rich and
poor. share and share alike in its dis
tribution.
Our Congress should consider no
other classes but our working classes.
1t Is upon them the American people
must depend to win this war. and they
are the first for the Government to
protect and care for as 1t has never
done before. They areNthe ones that
will feed the allies. that will mine the
minerals for ammunition. that will dig
the oil from the ground and furnish
all war supplies. And, IL we would
not lose TINS war; We must play loiI
with them or see them used as tool
turned upon US by our enemies.
Without q one-man power at the
head of the food commission. nothing
can be done in a hurry and II ever
we needed haste in action, II is now
and before II is too late. Every hour
and every minute Is counted in this
Delay and rejoiced over by our
enemies. ESTELLA CASE.

Everybody in Russia Is Voting
Upon Some Sort of Question
Wonans Right to Suffrage Accepted as Natural
r1ent Is Alert to Learn the Popular Will.
By WILLIAM e. SHEPHERD.

PETRoGRAD, May 1 (by maiD.-
All Russia is voting. Not only the
men. but the women. There isn't any
woman's rights battle in Russia
Everybody accepts the feminine right
to the ballot as perfectly natural.
In all the history OF the world. per-
haps, there has never been so much
voting by so many different sorts Of
human beings on so many different
subjects. as there Is in Russia this
very minute.
Soldiers are voting; workmen are
voting-molders, machinists, wash
women, walters, scrubwomen, serv-
ants. cab drivers, street cleaners. rail-
road men, peasants-aIl are voting.
They are voting for delegates to
meetings; they are voting on hours
and wages: the soldiers are voting on
how to fight, and on what orders shall
or shall not be given to them; they
hold meetings in the trenches, elect
delegates. and send them back to
Fctrogiad to represent them in the
national gathering or soldiers.
And while this storm OF voting Is
under way the new government, alert
and on its tiptoes. waits to know the
popular will and translates 1t into
law. The government has no army
behind II; and governments without
armies are powerless. The army IS
behind the people-in fact, the army
is the people. So long as the new
government carries out the will OF
the people. IL will have the support Of
the army. Wherefore the masters OF
public opinion, like KerensIy, keep
themselves in the way of knowing
what the public will on any certain
matter may chance to be.
Hard On King Business.
The first thing that strikes an
American in Russia is the fact that
this new twentieth century form of
wholesale war is going seriously to
interfere with the king business in
Europe. Despotic kings are safe
enough, II they have a professional
army behind them. and II their civil
ian subjects are not allowed to pos
sess arms. But professional armies
are killed early, in such great wars
as this. and II becomes necessary to
put wor&ingmen and farmers into
uniforms and give them guns and ex-
