A LESSON FOR THE PUBLIC.

given to the frequent assertion that the street
car company alone is to blame for offensive be-
havOr on the part of It's employees. The present
conviction brought about primarily by the
willingness of the aggrieved passenger to appear
in court against her insulter. This sensible at
titude is so unusual that the best efforts of the
transportation officials in maintaining discipline
are largely futile. 1t is obviously impossible
for a small corps of inspectors and superlnten-
dents to keep every conductor and mOtorman
under constant surveillance. Complaints from
passengers must always supply the best evil

1t is greatly to be wished that the statement
of Mr. Oren Root. jr., the general manager OF
all the surface lines of the Interborough Com
pany, may be needed by the grumblers who,
while willing and perhaps eager to curse con

pioy at once by merely calling up the different di-
vision superintendentS and ordering their dis

my troubles, improve the condition OF the

gers. An important factor in the case IS that
many men and women say, "Oh, what's the
use?" when any one suggests that they send
complaint to the company about a conductors

this Office. and for every complaint that Wa
