TELEPHONES IN TICKET OFFICES

Politeness has been the rule in
ticket offices from time immemorial.
1t was the rule even in the old days
of the brow-beating ticket seller,
who abused passengers at will when
their conduct did not suit him. The
agents barbarous doings were ex-
lceptions. And unfortunately, excep-
lions are common, even to this day
But with the introduction of the
telephone this rule has been made
more important and significant says
the Railway Age Gazette In answer
ing questions over the telephone the
clerk who is disposed to be ungener-
Gus to passengers has new and diff
erent temptation to indulge his I'M
businesslike propensity. and some
railroads have issued circulars specifi-
cally reminding station men that
their behavior at the telephone was
like to be an important factor in
making or marring the reputation OF
the company.
| But is there no limit to the de-
mands on the ticket agents cour-
tesy? Can people go on asking their
idle questions forever? At the ticket
window the stream of questfoners
sometimes let's up; and for a part OF
the time the window can be closed
But with telephone in the office
there is no time limit and the num-
@f ,
only by theIsize of the town. Every
body, even ladies in their boudoirs
or the janitor in the back cellar, car
ask questions; and at train time
when the agent is busiest, the ques-
tions are most numerous.

terested in currency legislation and
the tariff The Cummins' measure
provides for the punishment of any
person who impersonates member
or employee of congress or an officer
of the United States.
Another section of the bill i'm
poses Imprisonment and fine as
penalties on any person who repre-
sents that he has brought to bear
other than proper influence on any
member or employee of Congress or
officer of the United States; impris-
onment to be for not more than three
years and the fine not more than
$4,000.
A third section makes it felony,
punishable for Imprisonment for not
more than ten years and a fine of not
more than $4,000, for bringing &c
bear improper influence on member
of Congress.
The bill, or legislation similar to
it, is expected to pass. 1t ought to
pass.

prurient-minded Another reason is
that many of the people who are
writing this material are the old
muckrakers, the authors who form
erly told of the terrible doings of
grafters everywhere. Finding that
the public Is sickened of ordinary
undertaking, they have turned their
attention to this still more despica-
BILE form of money-making. Another
reason is that the daily newspapers
have recently been making such big
inroads into the circulation and ad-
vertising departments of the maya
zines that the latter have been simp-
ly forced to do something sensational
to retain their waning hold on tbs
attention of the public But while
the present exploitation of smut may
serve to bolster up dropping circu.
lations for a time, 1t is bound to aci
as a boomerang in the end.-For'

THE HOURS THAT GIRLS WORK

Life for girls who work long hours
in stores is by no means a bed of
roses as we all know. These hours
according to an exchange, while,
perhaps somewhat unfortunately, not
q question for the public service
commission, is one that is of quite
as much Importance as any that may
come before that body. Josephine
Goldmark, Of New York. who has
quite thoroughly canvassed the sub
ject of female employment. notes
that while 1t is true that girls in
department stores are not subjected
to the speed, monotony and COM
plexity of machinery, the girl behind
the counter may suffer greatly from
constant standing, especially during
rush season. She notes that many
girls have broken foot arches and
varicose veins that there is a great
nervous strain in being always on
ones good behavior and in adapting
ones self to the varying whims and
tastes of customers. Female clerks
in these stores should have an OPP
portunity to seat themselves during
the intervals when not actually en-
gagged in waiting upon patrons.

BRYAN EFT AL.

From 1853 to 1911 the salary of
the Secretary of tSate was $4,000 per
annum, during which period the
office was occupied by such eminent
statesmen as William H. Seward.
James G. Blaine. Thomas F. Bayard.
Walter O. Gresham, Richard Olney,
John Sherman, John Hay and Elihu
Root. Looking over that list the
name of William J. Bryan really
doesn't seem to figure as being worth
fifty per cent more for about half
time and we will leave it to you
whether democrat or republican if
Mr. Bryan is any greater or more of
a man than some of those named
above.

San Francisco. Aug. 12.--Mrs. NJ. A.
B. Ham, wife of George 1. Ham, the
banker, who effected his release from
a Mexican prison during the turmoil of
the revolution, has arrived from the
lower coast.
Single handed, she labored in behalf
of her husband. who Is now trying to
recover his health in Europe, in an
effort to recoup the broken fortunes
of the banker, whose Imprisonment
for alleged incorporation of funds
attracted wide attention two years
ago.

ulations she underwent in the south

that the interests of her husband will

RECALLS A STORY.

A good deal Of the comment on
women's costumes recalls a story told
of Henry Ward Beecher.
The great preacher was gazing at
nude statue in Boston art gallery
A lady stepped to his side, and
said:
'Oh Mr.. Beecher, isn't that statue
positively indecent"
No" replied Mr.. Beecher. But

SMUT IN MAGAZINES.

What's come over the magazines.
Many of the higher-grade publica-
tions are now devoting a big portion
of their space to the exploitation OF
smut in the form of fiction and spe-
cial feature articles. Some time ago
Hearst's Cosmopolitan magazine led
the way when it began to play up
sex stuff. Then came the purchase
by Hearst OF the World Today, which
became known as Hearst's Magazine.
Now that publication is outdoing
even the Cosmopolitan in the publ
cation of nauseating matter. AS an
indication OF the kind Of stuff that
these Hearst magazines are handling,
a recent number of Hearst's contain
ed a story detailing the experiences
|of a young girl who was lured into a
house of shame. She finally prevails
upon the slight remaining spark of
manhood in the first man that comes
to her to get her away from the
place In publishing this story this
magazine, however, was simply fol-
lowing in the footsteps of more illus
trious company. McClure's Maya
zine was the first to publish story
with such a theme. This was My
Little Sister, which ran through
two numbers. Recently Golfers
Weekly, which has become very
mediocre since Norman Hapgood was
fired as editor-in-chief, published an
article about a baby brought up in
ia house of shame. The baby's sur
roundings are described with great
fidelity. The excuse for the publ
cation of this article was that baby
instinctively and always looks for
| the good in everything! Imagine
Itwo-year-old child instinctively look
ing for the good in a brothel. Such
| stuff is simply unmitigated rot. At
| the present time Leslie's Weekly is
| publishing a serial entitled For the
Sake of Her Soul" by Reginald
| Wright Kaufman, which in great
detail tells of the struggles of pure
| girl who is lured into bawdy houses
| and disreputable cafes. Not only
| these publications, but the celestial
Saturday Evening Post, brother OF

has been tainted Afew weeks ago
the Saturday Evening Post published
story telling how a father induced
his daughter to reconsider her de-
termination not to marry man
whom she found had been smirched
| by a disgraceful affair with another
woman. The father prevailed upon
! his daughter to finally marry this
fellow by telling her that he himself,
before his marriage with her mother,
had been guilty of a liaison with a
married woman. What is the reason
for this change In the magazines
from the publication of wholesome
lstorfes and articles to the publica-
ton of such noxious matter as this
The most evident cause, of course, Is
THAT the magazines think that II
Ipays. They believe that the vast
Ireading public likes this kind OF
lstuff, but they forget that there is
bound to be reaction. The vast
majority of Americans are not
