Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 8, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 May 1905 — DO YOU EXPECTORATE? [ARTICLE]

DO YOU EXPECTORATE?

For The Democrat. THE WOMEN. Please do not spit on the sidewalks now, There's an ordinance against it—too And we'll all be glad when the dirt; old fad Of making tobacco juice puddles it through. THE MEN. We do not believe that women's skirts Should be sidewalk sweepers—but then— They’ll do at they please—and give us a breeze— Because we are men—mere men. THE PEOPLE. But let the ordinance be enforced And we'll all be glad of it—when— Our streets are clean and tidy and neat And women's skirts won't be a retreat For microbes to cling to them. »**
