Jitney situation No. 2.

Editor World: Fred G.. Love is without
doubt, the most narrow minded man who ever
penncd letter.
The jltneys are far more acceptable FOR this
one reason, II for no other, OF which there are
many. No jtney rider was ever compelled to
wait corner 80 minutes.
When we rush through our necessary preparA-
tions for the day and only have thirty-five or
forty minutes to reach our destination we don't
want TO stand on first one foot and then the
other twenty-five or thirty minutes waiting for
your road hog" buses.
l waited 80 minutes oh, yes, suppose that
that too was one of your exceptional times Per-
maps one Of your No. IA buss drivers wished
to visit with the Sinclair oil station man, which
they frequently do. leaving the nervous public
parked long side the curb, wishing they were
any place but there. After he has decided to
creep down the street again, some lady wishes
to get off at the next corner (as the middle Of
the block was impossible until the jtneys came
back) she tries TO ring two bells but no re-
sponse. She wends her way to the door and
SAYS 10 that same No. IA driver that she wants
Off This is her answer
"iIow did know you wanted off7"
What do you think this is anyway I'm not
mind reader.
The lady gently replied, I pressed two bells
You're too weak, you didn't push hard
enough. Was his i'll hammered reply. While the
lady was unceremoniously flung down at the
next corner with bang OF the bus door on
her heels 10 wend her weary way home the
distance Of perhaps six or seven blocks on a
side street.

patrons TO walk single half-biock.

and ! mean SENSTBI4Y EDUCATED, too. No
higher moral standard ever reached by any
man than the husband OF the jitneys. They are
accoeted every side by female alurements,
short-haired tlappers, a married woman nine
times out OF ten asking to be taken on country
rides, and they refused more times than
accepted.
LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN, CAST
THE FIRST STONE"
y decent woman need never fear for herself
no matter where she is cast II the woman
doesn't let the gap down, the jHney man will
never climb over.
There are worse men IN office in Tulsa today
than there IS In the state prison at McAlester.
The one man ruler stood Wit his hands behind
him. In one he got CadIa g automobile. in
the other a Enodly hank roll. And lust because
II happened not to be the Utncy corporation the
Jjneys must go.
Is that fair play?

tated to by few narrow minded. pin-headed,
money monEers or shall also have a say in
the ruling or cur fair city.
The jitneys have led 10 the p-budng OF the
entire community east and north OF Lewis ave-

city have eaid as much. Those people wa Mt the
