MANY q business firm has lost q
good and valuable customer by per-
mitting some waspish employe to
answer the telephone. The tele-
phone managers know the value Of
soft and liquid sound floating over
the telephone wires and they mani
fest this knowledge bv employing
only those people whose vocal chords
produce that kind of sound. No
cross cut.saw sound is ever heard
coming, from a telephone exchange.
A pleasant voice is fundamental re-
quirement in q telephone girl. while
an inexhaustible supply of patience
is the other prerequisite. 1t is a
cardinal sin for telephone employe
to speak harshly over the wires 1t
is the poorest kind of business or
social policy for patrons OF tele-
phone to lose their temper when
talking By electricity. A kick at
the telephone. either literal or meta.
phorical. invariably hurts the kicker.

A Murder Avenged,

A double tragedy is reported from the vi
cInIty of Gunnison. On the Gath Deputy
Sheriff John Myers went to DoylevIlle
to arrest Nick Myers on a warrant sworn out
by neighbor as the result of a quarrel.
Myers refused to recognize the authority Of
tho deputy sheriff. He rctreated into his
house, seized his rife, and deliberately fired
at the officer, hitting him twice and inflicting
mortal wounds. The murderer then fed. A
posse was organized by Sheriff Deering and
pursued Myers to a point near Chetopa. He
refused to surrender and fired upon his pur-
suers. They returned the fire and killed him.

PHYSICIANS, like other men. must
live. but the public expects from the
medical profession higher standard
Of duty than that shown In q mere
grab for every dollar in sight. Two
doctors have been censnred by a
coroner's jury for negligence in al
Moving o woman, whose life could
have been saved, to die of blood
poisoning. These gentlemen, it ap-
pears, attended the woman until her
money ran out. when they left her to
live or die-they didn't care which.
The fact that the unfortunate woman
finally raised some money and re-
called the mercenary doctors only
makes the case worse. She WAS then
beyond help. and the operation that
was performed only hastened her
death. But the doctors got her
money. which seems TO have been all
they cared for.

THE statement that grain sent as

fiscated for overdue taxes is made by
the American commissioner who

serts that he saw the bags Of grain

graceful to the Russian government
that its embassy at Washington can
not AFFORD to ignore it. The Ameri-

the complaint before the minister

have sought help from the Russian

MRS ANNIE LEVI has given up her
life in support OF the fallacious
proposition that woman can re-
form a dissipated man by marrying
him. She was determined to marry
Arthur Laparle in spite Of the warn
ings Of her parents. She encour-
aged his visits after he had shown
that he had no intention Of reform
ing. She hoped to save him by mar
rying him. In return for her love
and confidence he killed her. Per-
haps the case will serve as a warn
ing to other women who are laying
up trouble for themselves by en-
'couraging the attentions Of dissi-
pated young men Nothing but
misery can come of such matches.

Don't want to Soc sh. Army.

Tho commissioners Of the District OF Col
umbia, after consultation, have Issued proc
lamation aimed At the various Coxey armies.
They say that "no possible good can come Of
such . gathering, and that with no proper
preparation or means Of subsistence, suffering
aud ultimate disorder will ultimately ensue
No wrong can be righted, no condition Of Ia
Dor ameliorated. no remedy for existing evil
realized by the contemplated demonstration
OF physical force. Every desirable end can
be more certainly and effectively accom-
plished by ordinary and lawful methods. Tho
law does not permit tho soliciting Of alms In
our streets, and forbids parades, nssemblages
or orations In the capitol grounds, streets,
highways or avenues, and the approaches to
public or private buildings"
The commissioners give notice also to the
criminals and evil doers, who, under cover Of
. crowd Of unemployed men In the streets,
may come for the purpose Of crime and dis
order, that all such will be apprehended and
summarily dealt with.
And finally they give notice to all who come
against their advice and protest that the laws
in force In the District Of Columb are ade-
quate for every emergency and will be rIgldly
enforced.
