JITNEY OWNERS
TO DEFEND BUS
BEFORE SOLONS
Prepare to Fight Regulatory
Ordinance at City Council
Meeting Tonight.

Jitney drivers are expected to be rep
resented at the meeting Of the city coun-
ell tonight, when Councilman Jacob P.
Brown has ANNOUNCED he will introduce
his ordinance to regulate them.
The Taxi and Jitney Drivers Pro
tective Association stated its position in
a statement Issued following a meeting
at the home of William G. Kruger, 2S04
Franklin place.
Charges of the street railway company
that jitney competition is taking $1,000
a day from It's receipts are held untrue
in the statement which attacks the ac-
curacv of the check of passengers carried
by buses made by the street railway
company.
BLAME DEPRESSION
FOR TRAFFIC LOSS.
Jitney buses are In operation because
the public desires to ride in them in
place of slow moving street cars, the
statement says. Financial distress Of the
street railway company is laid to In
dustrial depression and closed factories,
however. The jitney operators say that
they notice the loss of passengers to and
from work as we'll as the street car
company. and were all factories to open
again. both the street cars and jitneys
would be unable to handle the increased
traffic.
IAN jitney buses are operated In com
pliance with the laws of the city, State
and the United States" the jitney men
state. THE license issued includes city,
State, Government and drivers licenses,
which IS burden enough to operate Jit-
ney bus at a profit
ACT JUSTICE
FOR PATRONS.
I'VE trust that the city council may
act IN accordance With the wishes of the
people who ride jitney buses and lie
given Justice as we'll a those who favor
riding street cars

he introduced It tonight, is expected to

cussion.

There are pigs-and pigs

There are pigs-and pigs.

a troupe OF twenty used this season as
foil for the trained wild animal displays

The pr0digies introduce big and little

Gated before. II has long been known
that the aristocrscy Of the human per

but II is not So generally known that the
Thompson pigs now appearing IN the
program Of the double circus are the
descendants Of performers who proudly
point their shouts 70 forebesrs who were

the elder Thompsons, then a farmer at
Plainfield, y. J, conceived the idea Of
including porkers in the category Of
trained animals. Since that time the
Thompson family has devoted its entire

RIGHT Of NEGRO
IS CHAMP TONED
. BY MR.. HARDING
Insists Upon Equal Educa.
TOPAZ Opportunities, But
IyAgainst Any SuggeS-
ton of Social Equality.

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 26.-The
right of the American negro to
broader political, economic and ed
ucational advantages. based on a
pride of race. but never on aspira-
ton for social equality. was cham
pioned by President Harding here
today in a plainly worded enuncia-
ton OF his views on the whole
American race problem.
These are some OF the principles
on which the president appealed
to the nation to "lay aside old
prejudices and old antagonisms"
and give support to constructive
policy of racial relationship.
"Politically and economically
there need be no occasion Tor great
and permanent differentiation, pro-
vided on both sides there shall be
recognition of the absolute diverg-
ence in things social and racial"
II would say let the black man
vote when he is fit to vote; prohibit
the white man voting when he is
unfit to vote" .
III wish that both the tradition
of solidly democratic south and
the tradition or a solidly republican
black race might be broken up"
~ would insist upon equal edu-
ca tional opportunities for BOTH"
MEN of both races may well
stand uncompromisingly against
every suggestion of social equality;
This Is not a question of sochl
equality but a question of recog-
nizing a fundamental eternal, in
escapable difference"
No Racial Amalgamation.
"Racial amalgamation there can
not be. Partnership of the races in
developing the highest aims of all
humanity there must be If human
ity is to achieve the ends which we
have set for it."
"The black man should seek to
be and should be encouraged to be.
the best possible black man and
not the best possible imitation of a
white man."
The presidents address. which
brought him from Washington on
his first extended trip into the
south since Inauguration. was de-
livered at a semi-centennial cele-
bration of the founding of the city
of Birmingham. He praised the
south for its industrial recovery
and took occasion to renew his
faith in the world leadership OF a
reunited nation. He said in part
Race Problem Is National.
"The world war brought us TO
full recognition that the race prob
lem is national rather than merely
sectional. There are no authentic
statistics but 1t is common knowl-
edge that the world war was mark
ed by a great migration of colored
people to the north and west. 1t
has brought the question of race
closer to north and west, and, |
believe. 1t has served to modify
somewhat, the views of those sec
tions on this question. It has made
the south realize its dependence on
the labor of the black man and
made the north realize the diff
culties of the community in which
two greatly differing races are
brought to live side by side. l
should say that it has been re-
