Politeness And The Telephone Girl.


We find ourselves in hearty SYM
pathy with the plea Of Mr.. Earl God
win, assistant to the president OF the
chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company, this city. A few days ago
before the Advertising Club OF Mary
land he spoke upon Public Psyche
logy." Treatment of the telephone op-
orator was the burden Of his speecn.
Ne would that his words were hung
in flaming light above the telephones
Of many who forgetful OF ethics, ur-
banity and proprieLies OF address,
speak roughly to operators whom
flley never saw. We confess to a lack
Of patience with those who fly into a
tempestuous rage when given a
wrong number, or the call receives q
DELAYED response. We can reasonably
be assured that no well-instructed
telephone operator wishes TO em-
barrass any subscriber, or hamper
the good service -of the Telephone
Company.
Frequently we have been amazed at
the rough treatment over the phone
accorded a young lady who in her po-
sition at the other end OF the wire
was perhaps, clothed with all the
graces and virtues Of true woman
hood. Ne have discovered women
bearing down with objectionable Sc
verify upon the exchange girl.
Some men, if such punishment were
obfainable, should never be allowed a
telephone in home or Office. The de-
cencies OF business and society should
prevent.
few weeks ago we were in a
certain barber shop. The proprietor
desired a certain telephone number.
There was some delay. The wrong
number was given him. His passion
led him Immediately into violent lam
guage. He lost a customer, for we
went from that shop registering a
purpose never again to allow man
so vituperatiye and coarse in Ian
guage to place razor upon our face,
We consider the remarks of Mr.
Goodwin perfectly sane and to the
point. It is true that soften the girl
gets angry at such treatment and
leaves her position, with the result
that the service is just little worse
than before. During the war, he said,
many operators left to take positions
at wartime wages and as result OF
many new girls being broken in al
one time the service became poor.
This made the public ill-tempered
and when it started abusing the girls
they left in large numbers, making
the service even worse.
1t must be a great temptation to a
telephone operator to send as good
as she receives to a hot-tempeEed in
dividual, and even to render him in
ferior service in the face. Of unwar-
ranted abuse. Is not Mr.. Godwin's ad-
vice worthy to be followed under all
circumstances, agreeable and dis
agreeable?
suppose the girl does get your
number wrong. If she were sitting AZ
your desk and you dictated word OF
number to her and she wrote it in
correctly, you would call her atten-
tion to it, straighten the matter out
without ruffle and then forget i
That's because she Is seated neal
You and You see her But let the aver
age man get wrong telephone num-
Der. and he begins to get mad. He Is
likely to speak to the girl at the other
end of the line as he would never
dare to speak to her if she were with

MAKING STEADY PROGRESS

Because of the unfavorable wealth
er and the fact that the farmers
were busy with their spring work,
the organization committee of the
Wheat Growers Association temper
arily suspended the sign-up cam
paign in Washington and Northern
Idaho during the past three weeks
and concentrated its efforts on
Southern Idaho where highly salts
factory results have been attained
Beginning Monday, April 10, an
intensive campaign will be started
in Douglas county and continued
through the wheat raising districts
of Washington as the seeding in the
different counties is finished. Hun
dreds of sign-up meetings will be
held in the school houses and grange
halls, and every locality will be
reached At these small meetings,
the really effective sign-up work
of the campaign will be done.
A splendid start was made at the
big meetings and a nucleus of sign
ers secured in every locality.
That the banks are falling in line
with the new marketing plan is in

Mr.. H. E. Goldsworthy, Rosalia,

Dear Friend:
Since talking with you regarding
the wheat marketing plan proposed
by the Washington Wheat Growers
association, l have given the matter
some thought from a credit stand
point. In the light of such informa-
ton as | have been able to gather so
far | do not see how the plan can
injure the credit of a farmer who
signs up with the association.
can not think that our farmers,
after entering into an agreement to
work together on this proposition,
and retaining fully in their own
hands collectively the control of the
organization will deliberately do any
thing to impair their own credit.
The organization will be made up
entirely of wheat farmers working
on a new undertaking of immense
proportions, and the men who pio-
neer the movement are taking upon
themselves a huge task. There will
be worries and vexatious difficulties
to be met; but after the big job is
done the result will Justify the eff
fort. / believe that the combined
wisdom and determination of our
wheat growers can certainly work
out an improvement over the present
marketing custom without iniuring
their credit in the operation.
Wishing you every success, l am

CONCERNING McADOO

We do not know whether former Secre-
tary Of the Treasury McAdoo is a candl-
date for the presidency or not. but one
thing is 'certain, when he opens his
mouth he says more than any other can
didate. We read the platitudes Of all
the candidates. All refer to the just dis
tribution Of wealth between capital and
labor. but none tells how it is to be done
We read Of other candidates shouting
for "Americanism," but do not define 1T
in a way which does not include all
classes. Others engage in the use Of
tdioms, but none get down to earth,
none literally Tight" anywhere. In this
connection IL can be said OF McAdoo,
whether right or wrong, no has the cour-
age to take sides In q controversy. He
is no trimmer in things. He daily forms
estimates of men aud things and is not
afraid to express his convictions. II
there was a middle OF the way path in
life he never would take Il. II is just
not the McAdOo way of travelling. He
could not be true to himself II he did
not occasionally talk cut In meeting"
II he should be nominated the voters
would be treated to campaign Of frank
ness, and this would be a rarity.-Ex-
change.

suited in deserved convictions. Gov. Raj
ston was to Indiana what Woodrow VIII
son has been to the nation, new, pro-
gressive, constructive force, leading his
party Alright by serving the public first,
for which he is naturally being somewhat
damned-by those who regard public Of
fee as a private snap.
Mr.. Risk, II he wishes to run for gov
ernor, might do worse than to take up
the Ralston administration right where
Mr.. Ralston left 1t, and promise a re-
sumption with improvements perhaps,
due to changed conditions, and having a
regard for new issues that have arisen
but he can hardly expect the democratic
party to step in solidly behind him on the
assumption that no good ever came out
Of 1t, nor ever can, except with him at
the helm. Democracy with all It's faults,
and its limited years of active service,
still has more to its credit in the way
of constructive legislation and admins
tration, than has the republican party
with all its boasted superiority, and ex-
cess OF years in the active service.
Indeed, we desire to call Mr.. Risks Mt
tention to the fact, which he admits as to
the nation, that the republicans went no
farther than the democrats in Indiana
in proportion to numbers, whether in the
enactment of prohibition or the advance
ment Of woman suffrage, neither in 1917
or 1919. We are for reform in the demo-
cratic party, but in heavens name do
not commend the republican party to us
as an example. We said, I'VE are for
REFORM" not for 'degeneracy."
Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1920-03-22

strongly insinuates that 1t Is the party
as a whole that is In need of some such
acknowledgements by a new
birth Of mental perspective In the old
managers.
Understand it againi This is not in
tended as an Endorsement of Mr.. Risks
candidacy, not failing to indorse him,
does It mean that we favor any of his
opponents in preference to him. 1t is
merely a semi approval Of the vision that
Mr.. Risk seems to have Of the revitaliz-
ing needs of the democratic party. We
do not agree with him for moment
that all the democratic party has ever
done, even in Indiana, is all wrong. 1t
has done as well as the republicans, and
better. in proportion to the opportunities
of administration that 1t has had. We
deny that 1t was the failure of the Raj
ston administration that turned the state
back to the republicans in 1915, after
Gov. Marshall had snatched 1t from them
in 1905 The republican victory In In
diana in 1916 was due to the proGer-
manism Of the German Americans and
the moilycoddling of them by the re-
publicans; this and the liquor vote turned
over to them by Albert Lieber of Indian
apolis wholesale liquor dealer. More
constructive legislation was placed on
the statute books by the state assemblies
of 1913 and 1915, under Gov. Ralston
and the finances OF the state We're better
handled, than ever before or since-and
say this Notwithstanding that his i'm
mediate predecessor, Gov. Marshall, now
vice president and aspiring to the presi-
dency, seems to set so much better on

Of Gov Ralston. He made enemies of

All Records Show That Mankind Has
Remained Much the Same
Through the Ages.

Read the oldest records of our race
and YOU will find the writer's holding
up to admiration, or relating with
heartfelt emotion, the facts that we
ourselves most delight in. The tidel-
ity of Joseph to his master. the love
of Hector for his wife and child, come
home to our hearts as suddenly as to
those of the ancient Hebrew among
the Syrian mountains, or the pagan
Greek in the islands Of the Aegean
sea The first Chaldean who oh
served that the planets seem TO jour
ney among the other stars, and not
merely rise and set in with them, that
jupiter and Sirius follow different
laws. knew . truth which is now the
foundation of astronomy in London
and Paris no less than of old in Baby
Ion. The first Egyptian. who, medi-
tating on curved figures, discerned
that there is one in which all the
lines from one point TO the circumfer-
ence are equal, gained the idea of a
circle, such as it has presented itself
to every later man from Thales and
Euclid down to Laplace and Herschel.
Nay, those who most eXalt the re-
ouirements oil our age compared with
