An outrage, snorted the colonel aa he stalked along the veranda, of the Portland hotel to ' ki. f.vnrlta chair In the corner What's an outrage T" Inquired the ' Kw Torker languidly, while the west erner hoisted hla feet to the tall and lit ' hla pipe with a half suppreeeed grin. , ' "The etreetcars, eah! -f The atreetcara! i Today I etepped In a car for a ride about your beautiful' 'city; tt remind me of Kentucky at her loveiieai, wma, and I aetQed.down for a pleaaant ride mA n hour with my clear.' eah! The first thing I knew, aah, the conductor ' hended me a card, aah, Baying that would I pleaae he polite enough not to mot except ; on mo :. I aroae, aah, and resisting a strong temptation to throw that conductor through the car , window, I went to the front platform. There were but two ' men and one woman In the car, aah, but on the front platform were eight men, ' all atandlng up, Who were trying to smoke. I spoke to the motorman, aah, end he felt just like all the other men on that front platform. He aald that at tlmea his platform waa so crowded with men that he could not work Ills brakes properly, thus endangering tn Uvea of every man, woman and child on the car while the Inside of the car waa nearly empty, and no one waa on the ' back platform at all, aah. -.v er- "He explained to me that becauae one man out of ten doea not emoka that the car company makea the other nine stand on the front platform and endanger tha jives OI BU iO Kccumiuutuiia m yuwv as they call It, aah!" t . , ' 1 "Would you have men amoklng inside - the car where 'the women are to whom It la disagreeable V asked the westerner. k 'Certainly not, aah. No man aUnda ; before me In the-protection of women and children, sah!'1 fumed the colonel. , "But telt me, aah. If the atreetcara are run to accommodate tha public, aah, and thereby give the greatest service to the greateat number, why do not the cara contain seats where a gentleman can . smoke, aah, aeeing that tt la an almost . universal masculine custom T It works positive hardship, aah! The business man, clerk or laboring man who can not smoke at hla work, a bad habit I'll admit, aah, but when h cannot do that he trya to get a amok after breakfast on hla way down town on tha car. And - to do bo he must ride on the front plat- form in a jam where the motorman, both because of lack of room and the conversation going on around him, and which it la beyond human nature for him not to Join in. cannot attend prop erly to his duties." . ( r , -' , "There la absolutely no reason, aah, 'why a street car. should not have seats, , or even a whole compartment, reserved for smokers, sah, just as do the rail- road trains and the notela. Buppoae, , aah, that every man who amoked on a railroad train had to ride with the en gineer in the engine cab, aah! Would you want to - ride or have your family - ride on that train, eah? . "Hardly," aald the New Torker with a ahrug. "But what are you going to do about Itr . "Do about ;It! Do about it. ; aah? Nothing, Bah! - Just bo long aa the men in Portland who amok let the street car company herd them on to the front platform they deserve all they get, aah. . 1 have no sympathy for them at all, aah. But to a stranger this thing of making i gentlemen who emoka take the ilia Crow car, sah, seems very queer, sah. If in the morning from f to t every third car waa a amoklng car, aah. It a little child In tha street, the public led by the men on the front platform, will try to hang the motorman. And he, above all men, wanta a clear front platform. The publlo always get Just whet It deserve. " , . "Smoking or no amoklng,' growled the westerner putting both feet down hard, "the front Platform ahould be katt as free from panaengera as, the cab of a iooomotiva. .v. n i 1 1 V- ; Salem, Or., June lO.-W.
