A DEAD TELEPHONE GIRL.
Sworn at by an angry telephone subscriber to whom she had
given a wrong number, a Vancouver, B. C., telephone girl went home
and cried bitterly. She brooded over the subject several days, and
then locked the door of her room and turned on the gas.
Her grave in the cemetery is a monument to the brutality of a
man. There are countless graves that are monuments to the inhu
manity of other men.

All telephone grils are not so civil as they ought to be. But
what of their nerve-racking work? What of the life necessities that MEXICAN WAR ZONE SHIFTS
send them out to be recruits in the great army of 8,000,000 women
R e b els Go to N ew B ase a t C a aas
toilers?
G ra n d e s.
Nobody knows what home needs, what pinched conditions, what
family sacrifies there may be behind the voice at the switchboard.
Nobody knows what trials and vexations, what struggle and denial
have to be mastered while a frail young woman is for hours under
the strain of responding to the countless calls of telephone patrons,
patrons who often add to the strain by uncivil and domineering con
duct.
A telephone girl is a human being. The dead telephone girl at
Vancouver was a human being. Telephone operators respond to kind
ness with alacrity. Kindness stimulates them, encourages them, and
makes it easier for them to do their exacting work. Unkindness dis
concerts them, unnerves them, unfits them for good service, and, in
the mournful ease of the Vancouver girl, killed her.
Men who swear at telephone girls are cowards. They are made
brave by distance. They wouldn’t, face to face, dare to curse an
ahlrhodied man.
JOHN BARRETT, CIVICIST.
According to the Washington Star, John Barrett has distin
guished himself in a new field of activity. John delivered the Inde
pendence oration to tin* good people of Washington, I). C. His theme
was the aggrandizement of the American Capital along lines that
would make it the city of the world.
Public spirit in Washington is ambitious to the end designated
Ity Mr. Barrett; and heretofore has planned and urged upon Congress
the acceptance of its plans that the city which is the capital of the
country might serve as an example of American civilization at its
highest efficiency. It appears that in his Fourth of July address Mr.
Barrett reviewed these efforts, and hv specific analysis and argument
sustained the public demand from every angle of expediency and
logic. The effort is set down by the Washington paper as one worthy
to appeal tin1 Congressional mind and in that to bear fruit.
The theme is one that should interest Americans in every section
of the country. The magnificence of the Capital City, and the high
character of its development and government are or should he matters
of National more than local pride. The singular fact obtains that,
although our civilization must tiud its highest expression in the cities,
yet we are behind European countries in many vital aspects of civic
improvement. We pay less attention to publicly organized activités
which conduce to the comfort and good health of the citizens: and we
arc far behind the European standard in artistic attractiveness. It is
well urged that the city which is the center of our National life should
at least take on the character of high efficiency which will place it
among the first municipalities of the world. It should he a city that
would excite the ambition of every American to visit at least once in
a lifetime a city in which every American should take pride as sur
passed by none.
THE GREAT PARADE.
We of I’orlliiinl mlniit with glee that wo never saw anything like
it; and we are morally sure that this sentiment will be eeltoed with
i niplnisis Ity the thousands of visitors now in the vity. It is hardly
tieeessjiry to say that we speak of yesterday's Grant) Lodge parade
We merely add that for the silks of literary clarity.
Perfect weather; executive oversight that made things move like
clockwork; the atmosphere of good fellowship which one could not
ignore even if he were s o peculiarly constituted as to have the desire
an appreciative crowd that lined every foot of the line of inarch on
Imtli sitles of the street; bands till you never lost the swing and
rlivtlim of march music; and. finally, police management that pn
vented obstruct ion or accident were the features that contributed to
the success of the greatest pageant ever pulled off in the West.
The event was one which will be remembered for many a long day
l,v the people of Portland as the proudest achievement of its kind
that ever happened. We also have the pardonable assurance that these
are the sentiments of participants and visitors from every section of
the country.
