ABUSERS OF TELEPHONE PRIV
ILEGES.

Some man has been arrested in a
Texas city for using indecent Ian
guage over the telephone and If the
authorities stick him good and hard
it will be a wholesome example for
every city and town in America
where the telephone is in use. 1t is
a practice as common as it is dis
gushing and 1t ought to be stamped
out by system of fines, to which
should be added on the part of the
telephone company the denial of the
use of a phone to such offenders
No man who uses profane or vul-
gar language over a telephone has
any business with utility in WHICH
the public has common interest.
Besides being disgusting it is most
cowardly practice because the vic
films of it are in SO many instances
defenseless.
Most defenseless of all are the
girls who operate the exchange. Any
error on their part or any failure
of the line to work satisfactorily, or
even if the lines busy" is fire.
quently the signal for some foul
mouthed rascal to 'cuss her out" or
to use language that is even worse
than profanity
No man has right to do this and
| it is an outrage that any exchange
girl should be subjected to such in
suits. Frequently these offenses are
| not reported by the girl because she
fears the power and influence OF
The companies ought to require
every operative to report these Of
lenses with such information as may
be obtained in order that the service
may be purified, and every opera
tive ought to understand that her
position will in no sense be endan-
gered by her doing so. Then when
the proper proof can be obtained the
offender should be reported to the
authorities.
The poor service of a telephone
company is no excuse for abusing
the privileges of the utility by using
indecent language. If the service is
bad or unsatisfactory, or If the oper-
ators are lax in their duties, the
proper procedure is to deal with the
officials of the company and take
such steps as may be necessary to
compel them to give good service
The user Of telephone is under
obligations to employ the lam
guage of the gentleman, no matter
how impatient he may become at
the service, the inattention of opera
tors or the language of the person
with whom he may be conversing.
And any steps that the telephone
companies or the authorities may
take to put a stop to the abuse of
telephone privileges by foul-mouth-
ed people will be appreciated by all
people who have a regard for deem
cy or who have a spark of sympathy
for the helpless operatives of the ex-
change who are SO frequently abus-
ed without reason or excuse.-Hous-

Captain Pushes Plaything
from Bridge.

All traffic with New York and the
East was needlessly tied I'D todav for
more than a half hour, and during the
busiest time, by a little bit of a boat
with one sail, a crew of two men and
no cargo.
The captain of the little craft stood
IN the bow, ahead of the sail. and
waved violently for all the bridges to
open, while the crew-he held the
tiller.

cars were bringing many hundreds of
"orkers into Newark over the Bridge

thelr business in New York, the bridge
tehoers ooeyed the ancient. threadbare
custom that a ship has the right of
way and opened their bridges.
Inc captain and his crew of one, be-
sides being bad sailors, were handi-
capped by a lack of wind. Their little
craft moved at the rate of an inch an
hour. The railroad trains piled I'D on
the Newark side of the Passaic River.
The trolley cars and more than one
hundred teams piled up on the Harri-
o side.
Finally, the Pennsylvania Railroad
had gumption enough to throw a line
to the boat and pull it through the
draw. But when it reached Bridge
street 1t met no such welcome. After
the bridge had been open thirty-two
minutes the wind died away completely
and left the boat blocking the draw.
A score Of men from a number of the
trolley cars became impatient, left their
seats and yelled at the bridge engineer
to push the boat out and close the
draw. Finally the captain of the boat,
which was only twenty feet long ,[got
tired of holding up traffic and himself
pushed his boat back out of the draw.
When the bridge closed and traffic was
resumed there were twenty trolley cars
piled up on either side of the bridge.
The draw had been open for thirty-five
minutes, In the rush hour of the norm
ing, and for no purpose.
The angry passengers declared that
the bridges should not be opened dur
ing the morning and evening rush
hours. and especially for a little empty
tub with a sheet for a sail, and which,
apparently. was on no urgent business.
