EDITORIAL OPINION
Telephone Etiquette.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Somebody suggests that there is
lively necessity for a book on the eti-
quette of the phone. There may be
some truth I'm the suggestion. The
books that cover the ordinary social
usages are deficient in this telephone
particular There are people au fait in
the etiquette of the society function, the
etiquette OF the table and the calling
card. who seems to quite forget the
laws OF good breeding when commune
ing through the vibrating wire. And
when this proposed book Of etiquette
lis written it is 10 be hoped that it will
deal lightly with the mere veneer of
the usage. but rather with its moral
and charitable requirements.
For some telephone users the instru-
ment IS but a vent for irritability II
the response is slow they fret, if they
get the wrong number they fume, If
the line is busy they flare up. For
such nervous users the new book OF
etiquette should be especially designed.
Nor can it overlook those other Offend
ers against ordinary good manners. the
people who deliberately keep you wait
ing. the man who snarls at the ex-
change employees, the butter-in on the
party line. the woman who listens to
talk that is not intended for her hungry
ears. the people who shout or humble
or stutter. or wheeze. For all Of these
the volume will be timely, and should
If they can be prevailed upon tc
peruse its hints and its warnings-be
conducive to a most agreeable reform
alton for both ends of the line.
OF course there is "A host of users oi
the line to whom "A book of etiquette
| on the subject would be of less value
| than so much waste paper. For they
lreallze that the true etiquette Of the
phone is largely comprehended In these
three pleasing attributes, patience
cheerfulness. and clear enunciation.

eoRMAN,s AMENDMENT.

CPEAKfNG Of political gangs that

Maryland. The great issue is the Poe
amendment. which is Germans own.
Never has a state. North or South, se-
ously contemplated grating on TO
the fundamental law a provision so
un-American and so dastardly.
Its purpose is to disfranchise the ne
groes. but the chief objection is in the
WAY it is proposed to do IL.
To qualify as an elector person
may be required by the registration OH

istration officers, and two are sunicient
to disqualify man.
Then come the qualifying clauses.
ANY person who was entitled to vote
prior to January1st. 1863 or any lineai
descendant Of such person may regis

This means that an white natives Of
the state. no matter how ignorant, VIII

how good citizens. must interpret The
constitution to the satisfaction OF the
registration officers. two Of whom may
reject the applicant without appel

pose to debar all negroes is easily seen.
But this amendment would also allow
all white men who are not natives OF
Maryland to be denied the franchise 40

equity Of such an amendment is suhi-
cient to demand the political retire.

The Rinht Of a Salesman.

raises an important issue in the Federal
courts A temporary injunction has been
granted at Cincinnati. and the decision
will be awaited with the deepest interest
because Of its far-reachlng Influence

The company contends that IL took the
man from the place he held in the me-
chanical department Of the factory and
made him salesman. lie developed
marked ability in this branch of the com
panys work. but in time left Its employ
and took service with the other concern,
doing for il in the same field the work he
had performed for the plaintiff. This, it is
contended, he had no right to do, since
he was educated by the plaintiff and used
the knowledge he had thus gained in the
interests OF its rival
Manifestly the principle at issue is the
right of any man TO take employment
where he may see 1T. The duties Of tho
